Bills 2020 Motto per McDermott "Find a Way"
TheCockSportif replied to CorkScrewHill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like McD, but this slogan sounds like the title of a song by Fleetwood Mac, and maybe it already is. -
I don't remember Russ Brandon, and I don't think he was mentioned on any Bills-related message board.

Carruci: Bills not pursuing Cam Newton
TheCockSportif replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Shoulder injury, nobody has picked him up as FA already, I mean how can you explain that away? -
Carruci: Bills not pursuing Cam Newton
TheCockSportif replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nobody says that Barkley is good. But Cam Newton is money that this team does not need to spend... on a backup. I will never forget Newton in that Super Bowl, and I suspect that many others won't as well. He literally cowered his way out of winning it. -

That was 5 years ago. A lot has changed in his profile since then. -
Carruci: Bills not pursuing Cam Newton
TheCockSportif replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sarcasm though? Newton is old now and he is not what this team is about. At all. He's what the Bills brought online with Bledsoe, maybe, but probably worse at this point in his career. Absolutely not. Yesterday is yesterday in this league. -

I'm glad that they seem to not be pursuing Newton. Like, for real. I could not be more pleased. -
P Dustin Colquitt Released by KC
TheCockSportif replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bojo though. He drives me crazy. I'd prefer consistent but not flashy play from the position for the time being. -

You know, he could still sign with the Bills and his family could stay in KC. It wouldn't be easy for any of them, but there are harder things in life. -
The Bills 2020 Draft in Perspective

The Bills 2020 Draft in Perspective
TheCockSportif replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hmm, I had to ponder this for a second or two. Going into the glory years, the Bills had been terrible for 6 years (and yeah, I'm lumping the 1982 season in there) and then laid an egg in 1989 ("same old Bills" was the thinking with many in WNY back then). Before that the 1970s were the very definition of mediocrity -- and with OJ and the Electric Co no less! What I'm telling you is that we enjoyed the ride while it lasted, oh, and those 4 SB losses were crushing. The band-aids the team put on the later 1990s squads were exactly that. If 40+ years of fandom has taught me anything it's that being a Bills' fan makes you anything but spoiled. -
Jameis Winston signing 1-year deal with Saints

I remember when the Bills did this kind of *****. -

I'm laughing at my lack of insight here. I totally thought that you were talking about Spiller! -
The Bills 2020 Draft in Perspective
TheCockSportif replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fair assessment, and I really like that you back referenced guys like Spiller. It's nice that this team could be in a position to fill spots with these guys rather than to clamor over we should be rooting for late round picks like Xaiver Omon once the season is already lost. -
Rd 5, Pick 167: QB Jake Fromm, Georgia
TheCockSportif replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
True, but 5th round QBs to me is like buying a "manager's special" in the meat department. It probably won't kill you, but it's not filet mignon. -
Rd 5, Pick 167: QB Jake Fromm, Georgia
TheCockSportif replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Could be a decent backup, and if he's coached up then he can be traded for a 1st rounder in the future. It must be true; I read here on TBD a few days ago. ? -
Maybe it was a stool sample?
-
Correct, and much less for the second stringer. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the number of cases in the NFL where a backup QB was traded for a 1st rounder. Here's what I've got thus far, off the top of my head, and from the late 20th/early 21st century: Trent Green (kind of an asterisk here because he was destined to be a starter before injury) Rob Johnson (OMG) I'm sure that this list is incomplete, but is just off the top of my head. What I'm saying is that asking for a first rounder for a backup QB is rare, but it's possible in many cases (Google this -- I just did) to get a second rounder, in particular if you bundle another player. Most recent cases I can think of were Jimmy G and Matt Cassel. Having written all that, it's never a bad idea to look at QBs. I just don't happen to agree with the POV that backup QBs can be groomed into being traded for higher draft picks most of the time.

It's Maybin and by a wide margin. Honorable mentions: Erik Flowers Mike Williams CJ Spiller I couldn't bring myself to add Watkins to this. Not a good pick given the roster at the time, but Maybin and Flowers and Williams were totally inert. CJ Spiller was a pick that wasn't required and he was never really used correctly anyways.

I took Wonderlic many years ago as part of an employment pre-screen, and I did ok. I don't know the score, but they told me they had a baseline score, and they would never disclose it to candidates. It was a heady, and very quick decision making process. And it had next to nothing to do with the job that I was offered. The same company also did this psych/color evaluation where it would prognosticate your role and professional slotting in the company. Full disclosure: no, it wasn't the CIA or anything like that. And yeah, I got the job, and left like 5 years later. Takeaway? Cool test, but worthless if you want to determine employee success. I wish that the NFL would stop this garbage.
