I don’t think so.... I have a feeling that Tua is going to be really good. Maybe not next year but I think he has a chance to be a great career and I wasn’t happy to see Miami draft him.
I think Bills fans are sleeping on Tua and underestimating his potential. The kid is a player

Or...no one wants to type it because they’ll get get attacked with statement like “he’s in the media, what have you done?”I just tell it like it it - this was not funny

I have to admit I did find the waving of the terrible towels while Styx Renegade was blasting in the background at the beginning of the 4th quarter very cool...Wish The Bills would get a new 4th quarter tradition since it looks like we are going to be in these rock fights in the 4th quarter with the big boys in the league for the next few years
How about Buffalo natives:The Goo Goo Dolls “Slide“
Imagine 70,000 chants and clapping to “Why don’t you sliiiiide.” -

Beane was bored today
Camp body.... I see him as a long shot to make the final roster. -

He has a job in the media. What do you do again?
And because he’s in the media that means he’s funny? That article was just wasn’t humorous, the comments here made it sound like his work was the second coming of Dave Barry. -
It didn’t find this nearly as humorous as many you did. It was a meh article from a reporter trying way too hard to be witty

Yeah, but your opinion doesn’t count.
It won’t last long with ‘Misleading Title’ as the topic.
Is this an insult or a joke? -

Just merge the thread with the draft rumors - where this is being discussed already and we don’t have to worry about the title.
The Lions are the key to this draft. I hope they don’t screw it up. I want to see some heavy trade action.
I think this can stand on its own. Too pages in the draft rumors to sift through-

Probably because they are using whatever service offered the most to advertise it.
It is how NFL got M$ Surface tablets.
Probably Microsoft Teams which only allows you to speak with 4 people on the screen at a time. -

Trading Joe Thuney might be something they may have to do.
Yeah they don’t have the $14M to resign him play up their draft picks. The only move would be to release/trade some other vets.Also this could be part of the reason why they haven’t made a move at QB
1 hour ago, Doc said:Yup. That's why I was glad the Bills traded for Diggs rather than trying to draft a WR. But Belicheat has been terrible at it. The only drafted WRs of note over his 20 years in Cheaterland are Deion Branch and Edelman.
Branch is not great on his own. Brady made him good -

I am sticking with first round picks, as it is just kind of absurd to rank all rounds against eachother...how many guys drafted since 2000 never made the team...or any any NFL team for that matter?
Best: Tre'Davious White.
Worst: All you saying Sammy Watkins, CJ Spiller, EJ Manuel, JP Losman or even Mike Williams are way off.
The worst 1st round pick of this century was John McCargo. Marv (the worst GM the Bills have had in the last 30 years, by a longshot) traded up to get him, and he contributed absolutely nothing, in any game (save for a fumble recovery on a special teams play) to the Bills..or any other NFL team for that matter. He is was such a terrible pick, I would bet many here don't even remember him.
PS- I love Marv Levy, the coach, but not as GM. My assessment of him as GM not only includes his terrible drafts, but hiring (and sticking us with) Dick Jauron, my least favorite Bills coach in my lifetime (me and the Bills go back to about 1972) when we already knew he wasn't a great head coach. That said, I will give him credit for the Kyle Williams pick.
I don’t know. McCargo was a terrible pick for sure but the worst? I think another Marv special Aaron Maybin might be worse using the same criteria. Also Torrel Troupe offered the Billsnless than McCargo though he was a lower pick.Good point about Marv being a terrible GM, but if you look drafts, he did hit on his picks at a higher rate than Doug Whaley or Buddance Nix.
And I wouldn’t necessarily fault Marv for Jauron coming back. As Marv was completely phased out, it became clear the Bills needed to fire Jauron. But it was cheap Ralph who signed DJ to a new 3 year deal after the 4-1 start in 2008. He didn’t want to eat that contract. If you ever wonder why Ralph had a reputation for being cheap....it’s situations like this.

hypothetically speaking.....if we were to have let's say an 8 game season and were to win the Super Bowl, would it feel less legit to you? The 1982 season was a shortened 9 game season and I always wondered how the Redskins fans felt about that. I would be happy but I do think it would feel sort of empty. What would you all think?

Yeah, I cannot imagine it is going to be so difficult to pull this off.
Its very simple. You have everyone who is participating upgrade to business class internet.
Two main video conferences. The GM who is making the pick will have 2 monitors for each VC
VC 1 - the draft videoconferenceVC 2- the team’s videoconference
Most of the communication happens on the team videoconference. When ready the GM announces the pick he uses VC 1.Theres a lot of smart people working behind the scenes. The fact that they can’t figure it out is kind of sad.

Buddy Nix confirmed that he spread rumors around that Cordy Glenn is too slow to play tackle.
Cordy dropped and Buddy got him in the 2nd round.
It's called "Smoke Screen Season" for a reason. This has been proven dozens of times.
The Dolphins might be trading up for an OT or they may not, but Ian Rappaport's reporting means less than nothing. Nobody is telling the truth to him.
Can we kill this thread?
Thank you for being so polite and contributing so much to this topic.41 minutes ago, BillsVet said:I love the draft.
I am beginning to love when the draft is over and these threads pass into oblivion.
EDIT: I believe psychologically people want to be ahead of the pack and, when presented with something that reflects a shred of truth, will seek to be the "first" with what they believe is a story.
It's why conspiracy theories are so attractive IMHO.
Of course reporters become, unwittingly or not, carriers of these reports. Nothing that hasn't happened every year.

I am really not buying that Beane likes Yeldon that much. If he liked him he would have given him more burn last year when Gore was falling off.
He has that game breaking speed that compliments Devin's style of play. You dont have a drop off in play when Devin gets spelled, it keeps him fresh, and if Devin gets nicked up he looks like could carry the load.
I’d love this to be true but I think anyone hoping for a RB in the second round is in for a rude awakening

No reporter has credibility this time of year. It’s more of an accepted practice than you think. No one will hold draft misinfo against a reporter with actual info in 6 months.
Ian may very well have been told the Dolphins are looking at tackles in that spot. He’s reporting what he was told. Him believing it is really besides the point.
Yeah but reporters are told lots of things. The good ones know when they are being played or lied to. Hence the motto “If you mother tells you she loves you, check your sources.”To me report things you know are likely not true is a gray area. It’s less about journalism and more about entertainment, propaganda, and marketing.

The Arkansas Rifle.
Never watched him play. I thought his career ended when he left the Bills but he actually played in 1990. -

Close. It was more the Bills not wanting to be jumped by a team who loved Ed. It’s what the Dolphins want too. They don’t want competition for the trade up for a QB, so they say they are taking a tackle.
Right, and that’s why I thought the whole practice of floating news which is likely untrue, can hurt a reporters credibility. It becomes more entertainment than news, when fans and NFL personnel can identify reports as BS.
It’s makes you wonder what the point of this is, when people in the NFL especially can spot BS...the good ones at least

I think the truth is much closer to us genuinely checking in on what it would cost to make that move, but then I also think Williams is the vastly superior prospect...
Oddly enough, it didn’t look like Williams was superior on the field. But maybe that was the injury he suffered -

Don't know about kickback, that seems like it's skirting the edges of ethics probably a little too much. But certainly favors, yes, absolutely.
Especially with our current social media attention span, nobody will remember the 20 times they got something "wrong" if they're the first to get something major right.
EDIT: I'll also add that this is something that EVERY franchise knows, participates in, and anticipates. Just the nature of the beast. I haven't read the thread but trust me when I say that no team is taking everything being reported -- either publicly or privately -- as gospel truth, and, other than in extremely unlikely circumstances, ever holds any grudges or beefs with this sort of thing. It's just become how the industry works.
When you think of the rumors from last year about the Bills trading up to draft Quinnen Williams, it makes you wonder whether those came from Buffalo to scare NYJ away from taking Ed Oliver.
How will it affect Phish having right & left handed QBs?

It will affect them by 0.00000000001%. Basically it’s a non-factor
