I'll give it a chance. The NFL has given the public a virtual road map on how not to run a league over the last few years. If Vinny can figure out what a catch is, and make sure the refs dont decide games he may have something.

The move up to 10 would require a similar package as the Chiefs-Bills trade last year. Would you do this for Baker Mayfield?:
Chiefs get #10 pick (1st).
Bills get # 27 pick (1st), #91 pick (3rd) and their first-round pick in 2018.
To ensure you get Baker you most likely have to make a trade with Oakland. In that instance you'd be giving them 1st (21), 2nd (53), 3rd (94) and maybe even a conditional 7th in 2019. Brings you down to six total picks. I'd do it, but I am not sure the Bills front office would. I think they can stay at home and get Mason Rudolph and another 1st round talent without having to give up any picks.
The Bills really need the Giants to take Barkley at #2, and to have either the Broncos or Jets to sign one of the bigger name free agent quarterbacks.

Wise to wait. At first glance, this seems that it could be a bit like the Pat Kane/cabbie incident in Buffalo. Technically, that was a robbery, but practically speaking it never was going to be prosecuted that way (and shouldn’t have been). Time will tell.
I am curious how you get arrested for accidentally grabbing a not packaged not for sale charger? If he took someone's charger by accident and is now being accused of burglary, I'd say the bigger issue is the waste of time and money worrying about this.
However, this was stolen from a store, which is not likely being it was 3am, then he isn't very smart.

Allen started for 2 years at Wyoming, unless your counting his year at JUCO.
He also has led the Cowboys to the winningest two years since 98 and 99.
He threw for more yards than Carson Wentz did over the same amount of time while operating in the same offense.
He improved his interception percentage greatly from sophomore to junior years.
He is sub 60% for his career.
You may eventually be vindicated if his pro career flops but their are a lot of reasons to like Allen as a prospect.
Its not relegated to his stats. Watch the game film of him against Nebraska last year. One of the more epic meltdowns Ive watched. Point here is because he is big and has a cannon experts will watch that same tape and tell you "he did some good things considering the talent around him" they are dying for him to be good.
I agree with the arm talent but if I am drafting a guy who cant contribute even when forced into action I wouldnt touch him until the 4th round.

That is a really dumb statement.
The greatest quarterback of all time would have been considered bad coming out of college.
Disgaree. Brady had two ok seasons at Michigan. Had he been a three or four year starter he may have been drafted higher.
Josh Allen is a three year starter who aside from being big and likeable checks no other boxes. He doesnt win games, he doesnt throw for many yards, gives the ball away like its going out of business and is sub 60% completion percentage.
It is hubris that makes teams like him. Its the same thing that got the Jets Christian Hackenberg.

I’m an Allen apologist because I think he has some amazing abilities and I think he is a great kid that has a lot of ability to improve - even in the accuracy department. But you are right, he shouldn’t be drafted early based on the QB he is right now. Unfortunately, he is going to be drafted early based on the QB he could be. And if he goes to a really bad team, it could end really bad for him.
The NFL never learns. No matter how big or athletic someone is, bad quarterbacks dont turn into good quarterbacks over time and no amount of sitting or coaching changes that. Josh Allen is who Josh allen is, and thats a long shot project. It will be a wasted pick if the Bills draft him in the 1st.

If you were in a high level meeting wouldn't that take less time? Less details at a high level.

The more I see of Josh Allen the more I am convinced he needs to sit and watch for a couple of years, and even then I think its a long shot. The odds are against every quarterback coming out of college, and not just players from a spread offense. I think the success rate is somewhere around 30% for all quarterbacks drafted. When I watch Allen I see Deshone Kizer and EJ Manuel. Players with all the physical tools who just arent accurate enough to be big game guys.

I'm calling bs. Who measured him? His agent?
Haha. We will see at the combine I suppose. I do remember you posting there were rumors he was 5'9.

One of maybe six quarterbacks in this years class who meets the Parcell's Requirements. Seems to be a winner, but man does it appear he throws a lot of interceptions for that level of competition.
May be more Tom Savage than Joe Flacco. Havent been able to watch much game film outside of that exact highlight example from youtube.

James Washington comes in at pretty much exactly what I thought. 5'11" and 210 pounds. he just looks like a RB and now we have the measurements that prove what my eyes saw. he had been listed as 6'1". that will hurt his draft stock a little and he could fall to us in the 20's. he's still a very good WR and has long arms and big hands. probably similar in size to Tyrod
I think this should be a good barometer for Mayfield, if we ever get those measurements. I have to say, I am a big fan of Baker's game, but start of the week isn't looking good for him. Find it wacky he showed up late, and then followed it up with his agent saying he may not play at all. Using the excuse "lesser known players will be vying for snaps." Better to not show up at all, than to show up and act like you're doing the game a favor by being there.

I'll say it again to the cry-babies:
Tom Brady was the 199th pick in the 2000 draft. He sat the bench year 1 behind Drew Bledsoe. He was also injured and missed the 2008 season. He's been a starter for 16 NFL seasons. He's been in the super bowl 8 of those 16 seasons. His team has been behind by 10 or more points in the 4th qtr 7 times. The Patriots are 3-4 in those games. The rest of the NFL is 3-70 in those games.His main weapon Rob Gronkowski was out of yesterdays game. Julian Edelman has been out for the season. Yet again with a cast of no-name receivers he was 26 of 38 and 2 touchdowns. He's not a jerk either. Seems a nice guy, and very smart. Yea, he married a Victoria's secret super model but wouldnt you if you were Tom Brady ? You can hate the Patriots (and I do) but you just cannot ignore the greatness that is Tom Brady. Rather than root for him to be injured (like the poorly parented fans at TBD do), just enjoy the show. When your grand-child asks you what was Tom Brady like ? Will you say he was the best ever? Will you say he sucked but the refs made his career ? I wont. I'll tell that kid I was proud to watch the best QB ever in the history of the National Football League. For the 2 or 3 years this 40 year old man has left in his career I will admire his excellence and you should too. There will never be another like him. Rant over.
I see you're getting flamed for this but I agree 100% with what you're saying here. He is the best that's ever done it. I enjoy disliking him as a Bills fan, but I also appreciate how good he is at what he does. Just a bad draw that he gets to do it against my team twice a year.
-
Was thinking this exact same thing last night after the Pats game. They are the two players I've watched during my lifetime where you kind of knew the game belonged to them. Anyone saying the difference is Brady lost isn't accounting for the difference in playoff formats in the respective leagues. Jordan did lose championship games, it just wasn't one and done like it is in the NFL.
I personally think they are the two greatest players I have ever seen. Brady made Belicheck, its not the system because the system didnt work anywhere Brady wasnt.

not fair that the Broncos were able to select Mayfield and Allen to be on their team. I've never heard of that before. seems like that should be against the rules. then you have to laugh at the mock drafts that have them not even selecting a QB. not only are they taking a QB but they might have to trade up to get the one they want. Jets and Cardinals will do whatever they can to get ahead of them
over/under 6 ft for Baker Mayfield? he's listed as 6'1". i'm taking the under
Ill say he comes in at 6 even. Maybe 5'11 3/4

Okay, but again, you're excusing Cousins' poor record because he plays a tough schedule with a less than talented team. Well what are the Bills outside our secondary?
Isn't the whole point of getting the magical franchise QB is finding someone who elevates his team?
Feel like you may be missing my point here. You specifically asked why Cousins record is worse than Tyrods. I made my point in correlation to that question and that question only. Cousins isnt a great quarterback he is just good. Tyrod is a way below average quarterback who should be a backup.

Do you realize what you just said? Cousins didn't win because he played too many good teams. And you want this guy why?
I dont want Cousins. You asked why Tyrod had won more games. Simpliy put the difference in their win percentages is neglible and Cousin played better teams. Frankly I think Cousins is above average for the NFL as currently constructed so no way Id pay him top five money. On the Tyrod point, we currently have a bottom five player at that position at we need to upgrade. Doesnt change the fact Cousins is better than what we have.

And yet TT won more games. Weird, huh?
I'm not saying TT is a better QB. But why didn't the Redskins do better with Cousins? That's a legitimate question.
The Redskins play the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants for six games a year. They play in a much tougher division, and in all honesty a much better conference.
Cousins is worlds beyond Tyrod as a quarterback.

I think his throwing mechanics are very good. Very smooth.
His mechanics are good, like a kid who has practiced them everyday since he was 12. However, for a guy who is 6'4 he sure gets a lot of balls batted at the line of scrimmaged. watched six games on him and was very surprised by the amount of times that happened.
On Josh Allen, I am blown away by the amount of love he gets. Dont see it at all.

Thats if he weighs 212 pounds. Some sites have him listed as low as 199. Also may have something to do with his poor footwork, accuracy issues, and the fact that he is way more of a dynamic runner than he is a passer. Get the feeling Klemko is alluding to something different here considering the list he put together.

Kinda funny if you replace the words Buffalo with Syracuse and Dareus with Mike Williams this same exact article was written when the Bills signed Mike Williams and St. Doug picked him up at the airport.

Wonder if he loses more street cred for the DUI or being a millionaire driving a 2006 Dodge Charger?

I have literally no time for people who blame their environment for being a sub standard human being. A.) If you know enough to blame your surroundings for your poor behavior, then you recognize your behavior is poor, and rather than fix it you find excuses to keep doing it. This tells me you're beyond comfortable with being a bad person.
B.) He is not the only human ever to have lost people or grown up without positive role models. Not 100% of those same people grew up to be 30 year old children, so that tells me its about the person not the situation.
He got paid and didn't live up to his end of the bargain, so he got shipped out of town. Hopefully for his long term existence he realizes its not the world's fault he keeps finding himself in bad situations.

Went back and re-watched every throw from three games for each of the top rated passers in this years draft, including Allen. Walked away with the same impression I had of him after watching three games earlier in the season. He may have the best arm I have ever seen, but with that being said I think he is the kind of Quarterback who will be drafted on potential alone, and really shouldn't be picked before the third round. Even considering the lack of talent around him he has gigantic meltdowns during games and doesn't do a good job of bouncing back from them. Even his "most impressive" game of the season against Central Michigan was a bit of a misnomer. Feel like he is a project quarterback and I truly hope the Bills dont consider him in the first round.

Its time they found someone who is going to think outside of the box. Outside of maybe Matt Canada, hiring any of these guys would be no different than keeping Dennison. If the reports are correct, Chudzinski's offense is historcially worse than Dennison's and McCoy's is on par and only marginally better in the passing game.

That bit wasn't in the article I read. Yes, I would say that makes a difference. The article I read said the "robbery" took place at a hotel.
