    This is just insane to me.  I admit freely, the guy looked like a top 5 QB before he got hurt the first time.  But who knows if he’ll ever be back to that form or if that play was an anomaly.  

     

    I get it. Someone would have paid him on the open market. 

     

    But man, that’s a lot of money for a very small body of work and potential 

    That is how I see it as well.  That is a lot of money for someone with a small resume and may be injury prone.

  2. I posted what Chris Brown said about Zay Jones in another thread:

     

    One such playmaker has been Zay Jones, who made the lion’s share of the plays in the passing game Tuesday.

    Allen found the third-year wideout three times during the team portions of practice. The first was a laser on the left side, that Jones managed to paw and control for a 10-yard gain. He later hit Jones running free on a blown coverage at the 10-yard line and Jones had plenty of room to reach the end zone. Finally, in red zone, Allen hit Jones on a short in route for a second TD.

  3. It is looking like the original premise here may be slightly off target. There is obviously a lot of time between now and opening day but here is what Chris Brown just wrote:

    The reason Spain is not there today

    Quinton Spain out after thumb surgery

    One of the many new additions to the Bills offensive line will be missing some time due to a thumb injury.

    Spain got hurt during one of last week’s practices and had surgery to address the issue. Per multiple reporters, Spain is out indefinitely and the limited time left in the offseason program may mean he won’t be back on the field until the team’s at training camp this summer.

    Spain signed with the Bills as a free agent this offseason after starting 48 games for the Titans over the last four years. He was working as the right guard on the first team before his injury.

    Word from Bills practice on Tuesday is that Wyatt Teller has taken over the right guard spot with second-round pick Cody Ford at right tackle. Ty Nsekhe has also been working at that spot.

    I believe, if I’m not mistaken, that’s both an old update and also simply posted by a well meaning friend. I wouldn’t hang on every word of it.

    Thanks for this. It is on at least 2 Bills boards so I am probably not the only one who interpreted this as a classic hospice referral.  I hope it is, in fact, a step on the road to recovery.

    Some people leave hospice care. It is not, as someone posted earlier, always a last place to receive care, although it can be. 

    Right.  I have a lot of professional and personal experience with hospice and have known quite a few who have left hospice.  It is definitely not a decision that is set in stone.

    "PANCHO UPDATE: Today (Sunday) I was able to visit with Ezra in the hospital. Contrary to what Ezra and Ronnie wanted, it was a mutual decision to remain in the hospital hospice care. Unfortunately, home hospice wouldn't be 24/7 which is what he needs as his lungs heal.

     

    His spirits are AWESOME as always, Between the medicine he's taking and the machine he's hooked up on, he's getting oxygen to the blood and brain. It's just going to be time before his lungs can heal and then begin his cancer treatment again.

     

    Ezra appreciates all the love and prayers (and the wings & loganberry I brought him today). He also appreciates and welcomes visitors, just please be mindful that he does need to rest."

    Cards can be sent to:

    UT Southwestern Clements
    6201 Harry Hines Blvd
    Room 1139
    Dallas, TX 75235

    I am confused.  I am very much hoping that there is a path to recovery for Pancho but that is not how hospice is designed.  If the belief is that he can recover from his current respiratory issues and resume cancer treatments, then that sounds more like palliative care. Either way, best wishes to the #1 Bills fan.
