We will be sellers at the deadline if anything. The teams who are going to get those guys are looking to win now, we aren't. That would be like the Baltimore O's trying to get a big name guy at the deadline, it doesn't make sense.

Ha ha, no we unfortunately didn't have a "Jeetz" coach, but the point is having someone who has seen things before in any line of work makes it a lot easier. I'm sure your first year at whatever profession you currently have you weren't as effective as you are now. I'm sure there was someone there who was more senior to you who helped train you at your job, and helped guide you through situations you hadn't seen before and for some hearing advice from someone the same rank (current QB to current QB) can go further than hearing it from a coach. I'm not saying by any means that this is going to turn the franchise around this year all I am saying is there is a positive to having DA on the roster.

haha, I know the situation right now is not ideal but this is better than him and peterman alone in the QB room, at least the guy has experience.

This might be a little long winded but here it goes. I work as an executive manager and have been doing it now for 6 years, my first year was filled with lots of ups and downs and I made some stupid mistakes and was learning on the fly for the better part of 6 months. At the 6 month mark we hired another manager from a different agency who was about 15 years older than me and worked in management for the better part of his life. He wasn't the most effective manager and was riding this job out until his retirement and was essentially going through the motions, but he did provide lots of insight to me on how do get through the mundane day to day tasks and how to handle crisis situations because he had seen it before. I was much younger than he was and had more "Potential" and now I am in a higher position than he ever got to but learning from him during my first year was invaluable to my development. Regardless of DA's stats there is something to be said about having a guy who has seen things that JA has not, there is something to be said about having a guy in a room who can teach the nuance of the game that comes from a guy who has been in the league for years. Hopefully this little break will give JA a chance to mentally reset, because this is a lot for a kid to take in. Go Bills!

I've seen it before it happens all the time, the starter gets injured and a veteran signs

Pass rushers are hard to find from what I hear.

Well we most likely will be top 5, if a scenario comes up where we can get a kings ransom for some team that wants Justin Herbert I say trade down. If we are in a position to draft Bosa or a top flight WR I say we draft them.

Every GM is well aware of our dumpster fire situation at QB right now and would likely leverage that into us paying a premium for a QB. We need to look beyond now and realize draft picks are more important than a....BRIDGE qb (Get it??)

Sounds like that dude has better accuracy than NP.

This is one of the more well thought out posts I have read here in awhile, the bar is pretty low for that lately though.

Get drunk and fight a Jets fan for her honor!

Well the title of the post cites CJ Bethards performance so how exactly am I foolish for thinking this post wasn't based on his performance?

Come to Oregon, the doobies make Bills games much more tolerable.

This has to be "Susan" from Facebook, she has been banging the drum for NP forever.

I generally think WR in RD1 is a mistake but considering how deplorable our unit is I would go WR #1. BPA the rest (Assuming we address OL in FA)

At least i could break out my "Amish Rifle" and Fitzmagic shirts

You just summed up the fanbase perfectly. almost everyone KNEW this was going to be a rough year (5-7 wins) and when it's going exactly how everyone thought it would before the season started people start freaking out. Everyone KNEW JA was a project and after 4 games of not throwing for 300+ and making some rookie mistakes he is the worst QB and the GM and coach need to go.

This message board is comical.

Getting better every game, looking forward to him and Milano progressing together. Maybe they can one day be like Ray and suggs, ya know without the murder.

Did anyone honestly think we were going to be better than this this year? It's an obvious rebuild and rebuilds can be two years of ugly before it pays off. From what I remember, the majority of posters here all were saying less than 6 wins, and now that it's looking that way people are getting upset?

As soon as I saw he was leading our last drive I knew we were doomed.

These are getting almost as bad as the threads that come between the superbowl and the combine. Give it a rest, great job reading and getting exercise though!

Do they have to be mutually exclusive?

They are building a nice little nucleus for the future. We have pro bowl/all pro(potential) pieces under contract in Tre, Poyer, and Hyde. Edmunds is getting better every week. The T/O rate is probably unsustainable but it's nice to see guys flying around making plays. I'm excited to see how this unit gels over the years.

We don't have an alternative, I understand the logic but at this point he's our best player. It would be unfair to the rest of the team to sit a guy who is obviously a better QB, that's a really good way to lose the team as a coach by playing inferior talent.
