  1. I do not believe you. No better than Orton or Cassel and certainly no upside. He has always had a few good games, a nice streak here and there, but in the end, he always come back to level, which is mediocre.
  2. Very true, but this may actually help the jets. I think Fitz is probably better than Geno.
  3. I think McKelvin's punt returning days are over. Too valuable as a DB, and too many injuries.
  4. They did pick up his option and he is going in as the starter. I have my doubts whether Gruden will be able to resurrect Griffin's play though and it would not surprise me if he ultimately went in another direction, perhaps after the season starts. For now, they are sticking with their investment and the plan is to make the RG3 investment pay off. He might be available next year. Not sure what will be left of him after another year of Gruden though.
  5. It would not surprise me at all if Cassel was at least penciled in as the one a long time ago. In fact we all kind of assumed it early on. He is a veteran, been there done that, etc. That said, I think it is far from over. We do not know what Ryan and Roman are really thinking, or what they are really trying to accomplish with either EJ or Tyrod. I suspect they are looking for one of those two guys to step up and take it away. Personally, I think Taylor is probably the least likely to win the job outright. Of the three of them, he is the one who scares me the most. I just find it hard to believe, given his lack of NFL game experience, that he could be relied on to perform consistently when the bullets start flying. Run yes - make the right reads, stay in the pocket long enough for a play to develop, not play like his hair is on fire - I would be surprised but I guess you never know.
  6. There is very little reason to be concerned about the chicken little reports coming from Bills Beat reporters after 3 days of training camp. I do not take these reports at this point very seriously. I question how they are making those judgments, whether they know what they are looking at, and are capable of actually identifying what separates good, bad, and mediocre is the context of what the coaches are asking them to do. The pay no heed at all it seems to the role of the defense in any of this for example, or what routes are being run (or not run), etc. The fact that the various reporters seem to have differing opinions, and that credible reports from Astro, for example, yield a different take, are evidence of the superficial attempt to evaluate they are making. As for the stooges on WGR, what makes anyone think they know what they are talking about is beyond me. Just entertainment. I am going to wait to see the product on the field before I form any opinions on who is "winning" the QB competition, or until the Coaches actually say something meaningful about it. I realize people are anxious to have the answer, but we do not have it yet, and relying on the these camp reports to form judgments on the subject seems silly to me. Sure the speculation is fun, but the facts are far from in.
  7. Good deal for both parties. They lock in Wilson for four more years at a fair rate in my opinion. Wilson gets his guaranteed money, and another kick at the can while he is still in his prime. The Seahawks do not have to commit for so long that they are hamstrung of something goes wrong.
  8. It is not unusual to be confused by Mike Florio since most of what he writes ill informed nonsense to begin with.
  9. I wonder at what point Kraft will sit down with Brady and tell him to take one for the team? From the team perspective, unless their lawyers are confident that either the NFLPA will ultimately prevail, or that they will succeed in delaying any action until after the season, they are far better served by Brady's suspension being at the beginning of the year rather than the end. In addition to that, despite the short term issues, The Patriots are part of the NFL management, and their best interest are not served by the NFLPA prevailing in court. It is a sticky situation for Kraft, but I would be surprised if that private conversation between he and Brady did not take place.
  10. Hair appointments, manicure appointments, pedicure appointments, waxing appointments, etc. It is a lot to keep up with.
  11. With all due respect 26 CB, a ,05 is literally one beer. If you have never driven a car after one beer, feel free to expound on "character ". Personally, I would not throw stones at that glass house
  12. You are right, but with our luck, this will be his breakout year and there will be teams throwing money at him.
  13. I suspect Dareus is going to want something equivalent to Suh, so we will see if settles for less, but he should clearly be the top priority. I think he is a better all around player and a case could be made for that. Gilmore will be the toughest to sign I think. Top CBs command stupid money. It is going to be tough to keep him if he has a strong year this year.
  14. I get your point and generally agree, but will point out that John Kryk, the author of the blog being discussed in the last few posts, is a legitimate journalist, and does know what he is talking about. He did a great job during the Bills sale process, in particular with exposing the warts in the Bon Jovi led Toronto efforts.
  15. Apparently no team is willing to pay his asking price yet. He is no doubt hoping some team will get desperate with a key injury as camp rolls around. Could well happen, then again, maybe not.
  16. Fine with this at this point. He is a good player, but at the backside of his career and not the right investment at this time.
  17. Sigh all you want but his absence speaks volumes about character and commitment. Other players are rehabbing from injuries but have been in town and participating to the extent they can. At the very least, meeting new teammates and coaches shows commitment. Whether he spoke to any Bills represnetatives or not is beside the point.
  18. Within 90 days he will probably be infected with the BN virus, carried by Sully and Gleason. I hope he has the proper antibodies.
  19. I have stopped taking anything Joe B has to say, particularly about QB play, seriously. The fact that the work so far has not been mandatory to this point is really beside the point. If the guy was serious about wanting to play for this team he would have been there. Unless he comes in and is the second coming at this point, he is done with this team, and probably with the NFL. No other explanation other than lazy. Watkins is still recovering from hip surgery, but he is in town. Lazy, unmotivated POS.
  20. Don't worry. Joe B and Rodak will be checking in shortly. Joe B to over-analyze every throw and Rodak to re-tweet Joe B's comments.
  21. Of the two bad choices I would say 1, but neither would really be successful in my mind. I have higher expectations, as I am sure most here do. In the end though, I just want to see some hard hitting, competitive and entertaining football being played by my Bills. I am certain we are going to get that at least.
