Am I wrong that he could of handled retirement better? I understand health problems. I understand wanting to retire. The tweets about maybe I will play for more money and the I'm done just sent the wrong message to me. The Bills took a chance on him when he had a bad reputation. He did give us some good years. I hope at least he at least was open with the team about needing to retire before he took it to Twitter. I want to be thankful for his service. I just don't feel it. Probably looking to deep into it and just accept that was the best way for him to leave the Bills. With a tweet.

I don't talk about it because it's all still kind of unknown.

Definitely more believable then the last guy around here with a "source". Just saying. Past hits give credibility.

I used to work at 3 a.m. and did that for years. I just recently few months ago switched hours. I'll never miss waking up at that time. I found it hard to stay on rythm and no amount of sleep ever made that 3 a.m. buzzer any easier to deal with.

I think moving up in the draft is only a mistake in certain situations. If we draft a bust obviously a mistake. If we jump up high when equal talent would fall into a much better range or to #12. If the lower rated prospects could have great careers. Unfortunately we don't have hindsight and teams are going to jump to get QBs. The Jets jumped to #3 already if you need any proof. I'm not in total disagreement but you phrase it so automatic. It wouldn't be a mistake if he scratches that ticket and he is a winner. Also I've seen teams start rookie QBs so you can't say it's automatic that a rookie is sitting. Second I think you put to much faith in AJMcCarron. Your automatic again. New OC and a new team. No big names on offense besides shady. Your expecting him to weave straw into gold, I see it as another Tyrod experiment. We didn't get lucky he was very available. I just hope AJ isn't so terrible it starts to make me wonder how Peterman has been lately. I think trading down is an option if the Draft goes completely against the plan. I would rather the guy plan for the future then force things out of desperation. I don't see the point of getting to #12 to trade back... Now I have a question. Do you think the GM can't identity QBs or do you not like the QBs in the draft?

I'd rather the team focus on the offense because that is the teams huge weakness. Unless we can teach the defense to score 21 points a game.

I like Rodgers. He has great charisma. Love the commercials he is in, they make me laugh every time. That being said I don't want some other teams QB. I want home brew in Buffalo. I want my team to select and mold it's own QB. If we are always looking outside ourselves for the answers we will never find one. I want a QB to play his career from start to finish in Buffalo. I want other teams fans to covet what we have and not the opposite. Beane painted himself in a corner. It's almost assured we doing everything imaginable to be in position to draft a guy that will be the face.

I want more awareness. Actually have a guy checked out medically before you extend him so that it's not an embarrassment. Know if a guy is seriously contemplating retirement before you give him a contract and trade another offensive lineman. Draft a QB in this next draft especially since you know all your eggs are in the AJMCbackup basket. Don't risk having to make me hope Peterman got better because AJ is just a backup QB and is crapping the bed. If Tyrod does better in Cleveland it will be an embarrassment. I'll admit the odds of Tyrod making the Browns look good is slim but the possibility for embarrassment exist. Know the kind of guy you draft at WR is going to try to jump out a window. It's all an embarrassment. I'm assuming next year has a high probability of going in the tank. I have faith the HC can do a lot with a little. I understand the moves the Bills made but it's going to haunt them. I just want awareness. We as fans got hit with bad news a few times. We need something to hope for. I need something to hope for, especially if I have to sit through a terrible season of losing. I want some good news. Bring me some good news in this draft. If you trade up big for a QB I'll forgive a bad season. If you don't get me a QB then I'll be critical if we fall below the average seasons we have had.

I don't want to be critical but it's not looking good right now. The show must go on. On with the show. *Grabs paper bag and cuts out eye holes*

The bar was set in college. The bar is set a lot higher in the NFL. Then after you consider all the contributing factors you still won't know if a guy can cut it until he actually plays in NFL games. So they couldn't make it an exact science. It probably would change up how drafts are done if it was an exact science. You gather all the information possible and you formulate the best guess you can with all the information available. You have to understand who your drafting is a human being and not a robot. Dynamics are involved in the chances for success. Think I would have a better shot to be a successful rookie QB for the Patriots or the Browns? The difference between the pressure for that rookie to start ASAP or have them learn behind some one established. So the NFL is hard and you have more bust then guys that end up elite. That's the nature of the beast and you can't tame a beast without understanding it's nature and risk of getting your face bitten off. Bring on the Draft. I'm ready to see the Wizard Beane in action.

The dude probably doesn't understand being poetic. He can only interpret things in a literal way. It's a limited way of preception of others.

Well hopefully venting that hurt clears the air some. You name your price. If it cost to much walk away. I would never think somebody writes something so personal if it's fictional. Those are real feelings.

Hey buddy, come down off that ledge. Even if your wife left you and your son hates you. **Sings Loudly** I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.

I think we reached a point that no thought can be original. What you want has most likely been posted and debated on. This is the time to put more effort in posting. Honestly I don't really care what the GM does as long as it benefits the team. Obviously there is probably going to be "right moves" and "wrong moves". If he makes the right moves great, the Bills will have a respectable GM and HC. If he doesn't make the right moves then it's only a matter of time before we reset. I would have to imagine our GM knows the moves he makes effects his job and potentially the job of our head coach.

You can't start a thread under the guise of you knowing something then end your post in a question. Your the guy that knows stuff you tell me who the Bills pick.

Well my opinion wouldn't be a very educated one. I would just be repeating what I read and having feelings about it. I really should just go watch the games they played. That is kinda why I want to keep track of these guys after all the speculation. The before/after picture is what I'm interested in now because I think I burned myself out on reading about the prospects. I want to know how much the picture changes after these guys play games. Just because you asked I'll say. Darnold then Rosen or Mayfield. I'm equal about those two. I hear good and bad about both. Rosen (injury) and Mayfield (character). The same for Rudolph and Jackson. They equal to to me in the sense I see good in both of them but the overall consensus is you wait till they fall. I think Jackson being very athletic will be his benefit over Rudolph some. I think Rudolph ends up on a better team then Jackson. Allen with the amount of concern about his stats. I'd have to agree with other people. I'd rather Buffalo not be the ones to test those waters. I wish more was being said about the guys after that but it's kind of quiet. The QB the Browns pick I won't call a bust unless like Johnny Manziel they never play for another team. If I'm the Giants I want Rosen because he just looks and talks like Eli. I don't know if that is just me.

Just because of all the wild speculation I plan to keep tabs on all these QBs careers. I myself don't follow college ball and I usually don't read into the draft, but since we have ammo, I kept reading the speculation. Darnold and Rosen seem to be favorites of this draft. I'm curious to see if they live up to the hype given to them. If not then mostly everybody was wrong on them. Except a few on here with injury concern on Rosen. Although Darnold to the Browns might not be his fault. So if he goes to Cleveland I might have to wait until no other team picks him up before I consider him busted out. Baker Mayfield is next up. I can see a split of opinion. I think more people like him then not so if he is not good then still a decent amount of people had it wrong and a decent amount had it right. Allen just isn't getting any hype or love around these parts. I can't consider him a top safe pick with the amount of negative people feel about him. I would say the Majority don't like him and actually use stats to back it up. So if he turns out amazing almost nobody gets to credit themselves for being right. Then you get guys like Rudolph and Jackson. These guys careers interest me the most because they are both underdogs in this draft. I've seen a few very strong supporters of both and if you few are correct feel free to remind everyone because the underdog is harder to get correct if you ask me. Nobody is expecting elite careers for these guys. Those are the QBs I will keep track of because they are the names I hear the most. Nobody is really talking about any QBs much beyond the 6. What I am saying is that it will be interesting who got the easy picks wrong and the harder picks right. It was hard sometimes to read through all the speculation but I think I got an idea of how these QBs are viewed by fans.

I disagree it was an accident the Bills made the playoffs. They have hovered around the same record past few years. HC just gave them the extra push they needed. Remember all the reports out of training camp of guys fighting and complaining because they were sick of hitting each other. That stuff was no accident man. As for them needing all these things that's in your head. The HC stripped the team down and still made it farther with less. I'm sorry but your description of my HC makes him sound weak. As for the draft, people's predictions sound more like personal wants based on thier own view of the team. Yea we have a lot of needs. Let's see what this GM views as priority. Nobody has seen this guy run a draft. I'd have more respect for the Lamp post if people presented it as how they would like to see the GM run the draft instead of acting like its a prediction. We will find out what this GM covets in drafting soon enough. I wrote down your prediction Nostradamus.

Browns trade out of the #1 spot.

How you get the colors in text?

I'm just checking in frequently for the big news. Bills move to #12 is big news. The Jets move to #3 that's big news. Thats the news I'm interested in. The rest is speculating and hypothetical guessing. Fun to read but not something I put a lot of value on. Bring on the draft, let's just see what happens and write about it after.

We made the playoffs. It was either good enough for you or not. I think it meant a lot to a lot of different people. Let's enjoy it for what it's worth.

I really hate the Patriots. It's probably because they own the division. I kinda hate the Jets because they smashed us in a big game. If they start getting it together I can see myself starting to hate them. I love the Dolphins right now. As long as they keep giving us those games.

That's kinda sucky story for those two guys. I would hate to see it happen but I guess that it does. Unless dudes choose to stop doing the workouts. Especially if it does ruin your chances of being drafted.

#1 and #2 spots you pick a QB or you trade down. You don't sit on that sweet QB spot to not go QB. Those are the money picks and if you can't get one of them you already lost a lot of ground. Jets going QB at #3. So that leaves you with a possible #4 trade with the Browns with 3 QBs off the board. I wouldn't be very excited about taking the fourth QB off the board. Unless that QB that was left was one you had a target on. People say it's a QB heavy draft. If he can't get to #1 or #2 then I'd rather him let the draft fall. A QB might drop in to a range it makes sense to move up a few spots. People say it's a QB heavy draft. The mention of trading for pick #4 just smells of desperation if 3 QBs have already been stolen. The last choice on the top 4 QBs. Yuck. Imagine the Jets lighting us up with the guy they picked at #3 and we traded to #4 and busted. If the Bills trade up in a place behind the Jets for QB you might find me being critical until it pays off. Yuck. I like the #1 pick or #2 pick or just pick at #12.
