I would fully be on board taking a Hurts, Fromm, Eason etc if they are there in the 4th, develop them, showcase them in Preseason going into the next seasons and flip them in a heart beat. Take a QB in the 4th, flip him in a couple years for a 1st and more
This almost never happens.
Maybe we should draft multiple HoFers in the 6th and 7th rounds and flip them to every team for multiple firsts. This is a strategy, I am very smart.

I think he is just hanging his hat on the Farve, Rogers thing. The better comparison would have been the Patriots QB flipping mentality. Either way that is where I want the Bills getting to, easiest way to get draft assets is flipping QBs
This is a meme to end all meme’s.
Since 2011, the Pats drafted:
-Ryan Mallett, pick 74. “Flippped” for a conditional SIXTH
-Jimmy G, pick 62. Flipped for pick 43
-Brissett, pick 91. Flipped for a WR with 800 yards in THREE SEASONS with the Pats.
This is the “peak” of this “strategy.” Lol

Agree … but the downside is fickle fans and media. Everyone loves the young backup prospect. At least until the real bullets fly.

I think that good RB's can be found throughout the draft and that the Bills have other needs. I don't see a homerun RB in this draft, much less at 54. And if the Bills wanted, they can trade for one like Fournette for probably a 5th rounder.
I’m confused dude. You were like freaking out that WR may not be BPA at 54. Now we have other needs other than RB? What “homerun” RB did you expect to see in this draft that would be worth 54, a Zeke Elliott clone? Who exactly do you want at 54?

Don't get me started on the Buffalo Renaissance not being a real thing. It is just something people keep regurgitating until everybody believes it is true. Buffalo has not grown by almost any measure. Increasing level of kids in poverty every year. House house income is stagnant. Household income in comparison to the national average is actually getting worse. And as a result everybody that is screaming RENAISSANCE is actually causing one of the largest spikes in the country in terms of % increase in cost of living.
It is absolutely wild...This is not the thread for that though.Sure it is. This thread is about PSE. The failure of their Buffalo revival is part of it. That giant One Buffalo restaurant with 2 people in it for lunch is part of it. How much money do you think they have pissed down the drain for that?

It's an article on the RB position in general.
It doesn’t really address that you shouldn’t take a better RB prospect. Everyone knows the RB position is devalued.

I’m good with the safety. 2 points AND the ball is plenty.
.... what I can’t freaking stand is if you fumble the ball out of the endzone while while going in to score, it’s a turnover. Take it back to the 15 or 20. But for the love of god, that’s a stupid turnover rule.
I love it because it’s chaos. Nothing else really makes sense either. If you fumble out of the bounds in the end zone, you can’t get the ball in the end zone. Going back to the 20 doesn’t make sense, you turned it over. You shouldn’t get extra downs if you fumbled on third down.
It’s one of those weird rules that is kind of unchangeable.

Here's a good article on RB's in today's NFL: https://qz.com/1602987/nfl-draft-order-2019-first-round-running-backs-are-rare/
That’s an article on first round running backs.

We hear your "GET OFF MY LAWN!" loud and clear. Some of us like to look at things a bit more analytically.
So analytical that you haven’t even posted anything in regards to the OP.

You are correct. He dipped out of the OG industry nearly a decade ago. I am sure he has some investments, but he cashed out to the tune of nearly 5 BILLION dollars. He is currently over leveraged his worth because he has done a bad job of managing his investments in sports and hospitality. I would not be surprised if he were relatively cash poor (or as cash poor as a billionaire can be). The whole thing is a bit wild, kind of like a mega millions winner who declares bankrupts after blowing through 200M.
The Bills will be fine, but if he does not figure it out, I would not be surprised to see him move on from the harborcenter, the sabres, PSE management group, etc.

Doubt they’ve seen any ROI in the DT buffalo revival. It’s still a ghost town, even at that restaurant.

Safeties give you 2 points and the ball, which is potentially a 9 or 10 point swing. Safeties being worth a defensive TD and not the turn over takes away from them IMO.

Just now, Mr. WEO said:
Clearly that is what the current president uses it for, I agree.
As for the death of journalism? Meh.....lots of national newspapers have broken the bulk of the biggest stories over the past 3 years.
I mean, the Covington Catholic student sued 3 orgs for defamation and CNN gave him a nice tidy settlement.
Maybe journalism has always been this crappy, but the amount of quick “breaking news” stories and then quiet retractions is breathtaking. At a certain point, these transgressions pile up, and if you don’t start becoming skeptical, you’re an idiot.

When the President gets up in front of the press or others to speak, my TV doesn't have a filter that prevents me from hearing or understanding what he is saying. Maybe you have closed captioning instead?
What station do you watch on?

Just now, Over 29 years of fanhood said:
he demonstrated some dislikable personality traits when he used to post here. For me I thought he seemed kind of douschy and sensational... trying hard to click bait and drum up controversy.his little tiff with EJ Manuel wasn’t very professional.
sort of anti worrow; who tends more to stick to the facts.... and not have tantrums when anyone questions him.
i don’t care for his work, but he is clearly a trigger for a lot of folks here
His tiff with EJ was so overblown.
Skurski brought up drafting another QB. EJ, rather than saying, “the organization invested in me and it’s up to me to prove I’m the QB of this team and that’s what I’m going to do” he ASKS Tim Graham if he thinks they should draft a QB.

In the 14 years of its existence no other President has used twitter like the current one (or at all while in office?).
Obama used Twitter a little but I think as like scheduled Q&A’s.
Twitter is so clearly a weapon for disinformation and was heralded as the death of journalism/truth by many YEARS ago. Wawrow has railed against the rampant desire to be the first incorrect journalist for years.

He's the WORST president ever and he rails at all media for reporting on his failures and buffoonery. As for funding an owner's lifestyle, aren't all employees doing that? Or is PSE a 501(c)(3) nonprofit?
I don’t really care about the President right now, as that’s offtopic. The topic was journalism, and these dudes trip over themselves to be wrong. They were wrong about Kim last night. Brian Williams built his career on complete fabrications. They are wrong a frighteningly amount, about all topics, and their reprints and retractions get very little traction compared to the erroneous crap they spew.
Do all owners tell their employees they are funding their lavish lifestyle in internal memos?

Except the boss never said that. A reporter did.
What does ROI to fund lifestyle mean to you?
Just now, PromoTheRobot said:Let's admit the reputation of journalists is based on the opinion one bloated, orange-skinned, narcissist who lies like people breathe. Those who share this opinion are mindless followers of said bloated one
He’s the President. And whether you hate him or love him, the MSM has been laughably bad in the US since the advent of Twitter.

Should they just leave incorrect stories up?
No, but they should try to not embarrass themselves at every turn when the general opinion of journalists is at an all time low. Especially when they say the story is “confirmed.” Lol

You mean something like State Media, er, Fox News?Don’t look now but the two star anchors of CNN and MSNBC both reported that Kim Jung Un was on life support/brain dead last night and then just deleted it.

I totally don't get this take. And you just said Graham can't be bought off...yet you suggest Kim Pegula would get more screen time if she "played ball?" Curious.
What don’t you get? When a reporter is about to realease a potentially damaging story about your business, and asks you for a statement, it’s your one chance to defend yourself, usually with a carefully crafted PR statement. Whatever KP put out was not that.

Rob, she was a waitress in Alaska. You WERE being sexist.

I don't doubt that Fergy is telling the truth about not altering it, I just don't see why anyone would be interested post draft. Really, why would we be? We'll be talking about the new players, not evaluating how correct or incorrect some random poster on TBD was about the draft.
Maybe it is. It would be pretty hilarious. If that's the case I got duped hardcore.
Nothing gets past you.

Kim rebuttal
If she wanted more screen time she should have played ball.
You can’t complain about media narratives and then make zero effort to control said narratives. If that’s what the Pegulas (and you) are looking for, that’s asking for the media to carry their water for them. And I doubt Timmy can be bought off.

We shouldn’t draft a backup QB because TBD posters might be meanie heads is galaxy brain stuff. Is Beane hiring?
