  1. In an odd way, if Chip Kelly goes back to Oregon, I'll like this hire much more. Because that will mean while Kelly was stringing along Philadelphia and Cleveland, Buffalo realized they weren't in the mix, and pulled the trigger on a guy that could have had multiple suitors once Kelly made his decision. Now the unlikely scenario of Kelly returning? That leaves both teams scrambling.

     

    The Bills interviewed five candidates. Since none of those five have been hired elsewhere, it is safe to say that Buffalo truly got their man.

     

    ESPN just reported Chip Kelly is indeed heading back to Oregon.

    Wanny couldn't stop the Run against Patriots, Titans, Houston etc. Until we prove that we can stop good teams, Wanny does not get a pass. Having said that, I do see the commitment to stopping the run the past few weeks. However, we are still short of a good MLB who can stop the running game.

     

    Curious. I didn't see Wanny on the field those games missing tackles. Coaching only goes so far. The players need to execute on the field.

  3. I would disagree with Jim on the QBs thing. Seems to me the QBs are possibly better than they've ever been.

     

    Brady

    Manning

    Manning

    Rothlisberger

    Brees

    Rivers

    Newton

    Luck

    Schaub

    Romo

    Ryan

     

     

    That's pretty close to 50% of the QBs being elite enough that Jim wouldn't even be on that list during his days. Heck, even Fitz threw right around Jims career year stats last year.

     

    It

     

    A player that hasn't even taken one regular season snap has no business being on this list. Romo hasn't done anything. I think the list ends after Brees.

  4. There are a lot of FA WRs this year better than what we had in 2011. If you don't try to negotiate with them the answer is no.

     

    If I were in charge I'd make a run at 'em. You never know.

     

    I'd go after Reggie Wayne, Marques Colston, Vincent Jackson, Wes Welker, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meachem, Mario Manningham, Pierre Garcon, Anthony Gonzalez, Plaxico Burress, Steve Smith (PHI), Donte' Stallworth.

     

    Like I say, if you don't ask, the answer is no.

     

    And I don't care if they're old. If they can play for a year or two and help our team be respectable again, I'd go for it.

     

    I would not go after any of these guys. They are either well worn or will not make a significant Improvement.Well, Colston would and Bowe could but tnat's it.

  5. But you've been asking the wrong question all along when defining a franchise QB. For bills fans the question should be how many QBS in the NFL today could come into Buffalo without any other on field changes and win football games. I count 6 since 1998. That's right only 6. Both Mannings, Rodgers, Brady, Big Ben and Brees. And two of those guys weren't even first rounders. So 4 first rounders in 13 years.

     

    If you count only those that are playing for the team that drafted them the total becomes 2.
