I was visually distraught for quite some time last offseason when it was rumored schmidt was in a battle with somebody in the offseason. I had just bought the damn thing in 2016..... I guess i'm off the Mayfield train that I've been on since the dude was a friggin sophomore.

right. that's a greeeaatttt reason not to draft a guy..... solid reasoning, bro.

holy crap I didn't think about this..... I too have a schmidtty jersey and have wanted Mayfield all along. how did this get by me?

What’s really priceless is I saw shady say all season qb ratings mean nothing and that Our starting qb over the last 3 years rating is inflated due to style of play. But then he routinely turns to that stat to pad his argument if it fits his narrative On said player. I’m not even gonna say the players name becuz I’ve kept myself clean of most debates on him since his departure. ..... and it feels good.

well i don't disagree with this. i'll just speak for myself here. whomever they deem fit i'll be on board with. the only preference I have is that its a top prospect. I think the FO and coach have shown enough over the last 12 months for me to have confidence they'll do what it takes one way or the other to get the right guy. unlike a lot on here I don't pretend to know more than the guys that get paid to do it.

isn't he a peach?

the winner you were responding to right there is one of the class acts I was referring to..... you don't think he'll turn on a qb in a heart beat? its like dealing with a toddler. there's no rational conversation to be had when he enters it. as for the topic? there was no conspiracy. it was an awful showing from the qb and an awful showing from the RT that has been horrible for years now.

I think its more just people pointing out how absolutely stupid it is to say it was any sort of conspiracy and just stating that he sucked..... becuz he did. his career isn't done. he may turn out to be a solid backup. but there is no conspiracy here. he just sucked. and the o-line sucked vs an elite pass rush. mills has been fairly awful for 2 years now. no conspiracy theory needed there. and its not surprising in the least that the same people claiming such idiotic things were all the same characters that were routinely irrational and dramatic about taylor throughout the year. i'm not pointing straight at you, i'm just saying in general..... the usual suspects pounced on this one with the quickness.

I agree

well I don't have twitter. but I don't mind one bit seeing it on here when it pertains to discussion.

you've really been going all in on this anti-tweet thing.... impressive.

I thought it was awful in the heat of the moment.... I still don't agree with it. I get it..... but I don't agree with it. I think getting a yd on 4th down was much more reliable than hoping to pin a team deep, relying on a defense that had just got gashed at the end of regulation and then relying on joe webb to make some plays to get them down the field wherever the punt came in at. but McDermott did more good than bad. so whatever.

And good luck getting them to trade out of #4 if qb’s go 1-3 becuz that means they STILL get Barkley.

What a bunch of garbage. One team did what it needed to over 16 games and the other didn’t. The bills were one of the top 6 teams in the conference that did what needed to be done over the course of 16 games. The ravens weren’t. Maybe we should go back and thank the Steelers for beating them by a point or any other team that beat them for that matter.

Can anyone look at what’s transpired over the last 12 months and come to the conclusion that that summary there is what’s going on in buffalo? Good lord, dude..... how can’t people grasp that there is more than one model to follow to get the turnaround done. It’s not tank or bust. Thankfully all but 27 poor souls on this board seem to understand that.

You literally failed to acknowledge the fact that we ar very likely going to make a move to get a blue chip qb this year in the name of proving a lame point about tanking. Solid move, bro. And then there came the dumb-*** ravens comment. Bills finished the season 4-2 and did what they needed to over 16 games. Ravens didn’t. Maybe we should thank the Steelers for beating them by a point a month earlier too. Or any other loss for that matter. It’s sad the things people will say in order to prove bad points. Don’t people understand how lame they look when they say things like you just said there? And as for the browns? What is picking number one gonna have to do with them being better than us next year? Jackson has been very vocal that Taylor is the starter for next season. And you do understand there is more than one qb in this draft right? I gotta go to bed. Have a nice evening Mr. Reed83

There are all different types of approaches to use as good examples on how teams turned things around. Unfortunately 23 poor souls out of the hundreds of people on this board can’t seem to grasp that concept.

Right. Huge roster turnover, cap relief, aquiring plenty of picks to make a move and still get a couple of solid players in the draft, all while still making the playoffs with a first year staff is a “stupid idea”. EXACTLY like the last 20 years. Silly me. Why havnt I realized the only way to do this is to tank. I think I’m coming around though. SMH

And yet you put so much stock into the picks we could have kept.... they have enough picks to make a move for a guy and still have some nice picks. ...... which you shouldn’t care so much about after talking about how important the qb is. Bottom line tanking isn’t the only way to set yourself up for the future and the bills are literally present day proof of that and how they have worked things since last April. It’s odd a very small handful of you really just refuse to see that.

There’s 2 sides to this ya know? It’ll also be real fun to come back to this if the bills get their man with a smart trade and still have some picks to fill out areas. I know the 23 characters that voted “no” have a hard time grasping it but there are other ways of turning a franchise around other than tanking.....mind blowing right? But im sure if those said people weren’t happy with a playoff berth with a first year staff after massive roster turnover, aquiring picks to set up a move, and cap relief.... not much would make them happy other than their way or the highway.

I don’t disagree with this to an extent but I’ve taken fans of other teams with me that have frequented their own teams stadium tailgates and that of other teams and each and every single one of them says they’vd Never experienced one like orchard park.

Can’t stand the whole “backed into” the postseason narrative. Going 4-2 to end a season is the opposite of backing into the post season. Bottom line is bills did what they needed over 16 games and the ravens didn’t. All the tanking talks make me sick too. Bills made the friggin playoffs all while overhauling the roster, aquiring draft picks to STILL be have a shot a “franchise qb”, and opening up cap space. That’s called having your cake and eating it too. A certain few can take those tanking remarks and shove them where the sun don’t shine. Sickening

right. he apparently hasn't seen a years worth of tear down.... too fixed on 9-7.

so you are totally disregarding how the bills went about tearing things down to go in a different direction as of last summer. dude, are you trying to be that simple? I said what I said and you come back with a dumb superbowl comment that has NOTHING to do with it. I hate to break it to you but last year wasn't even close to how others have went and the team, unlike other years, looks like it has a clear direction. for somebody to not be able to see that becuz "superbowl"..... just means they are really just not very smart or have their blinders up and are just being difficult for the sake of it.

ok. so let me get this straight.... becuz we didn't win the super bowl its the same thing year in and year out? solid call, bruh.
