I want to start ordering psychological profiles or commissioning academic studies on the posters who start the Jason Campbell threads every single offseason. I am convinced that the Jason Campbell threads might be a gateway to unlocking the mysteries of human nature. I suspect it's the same crowd who have since retired from the "sign Jeff Garcia" threads but I'd like to test that out as well.
One thing is for sure - they did not get to watch him every week during his Redskins career like i did. No better than Fitz and worse in some respects. Pass.

Ok Sore Loser, typical Pats moves but people are say it was mean & harsh but other than the 4 wives did she say anything that isn't True
OJ Simpson was Acquitted of Murder & he couldn't get paid to clean toilets, Ray Lewis is treated like a God in the NFL
What do you guys think was she wrong
She has a good point.

I've seen this quite a few times on the board over the last bunch of weeks and I am confused by it.
As far as I can tell, Alex Smith becomes a FA in 2015. Unless the 49ers cut him we would need to trade for him.
Does anybody know if I'm wrong on this?
That's correct. Lots of speculation that SF will cut him rather than pay $7.5 m for a back up QB, but that is certainly no guarantee. With the minimal amount they are paying Kaepernick as a 2nd rounder they can afford to keep both. If Smith is not creating a problem on the team, why not keep him? I would not be in favor of bringing him in even if he was available.

It is unrealistic to expect that no QBs will be taken in the top 7 given the obvious needs of the teams in front of the Bills and others, like the Jets, who may well look to jump up. Nassib may not even be there at 8. like Eball, I am concerned about the Bills pick being a bit too obvious. My take is that their new Coaches certainly know everything they need to know about Nassib. if they like him and he is there at 8 they should take him. Waiting for QBs to fall to their perceived value position is how we got in this mess.
-
I picked one (Nassib) to see the results frankly, but I am not really sold on any of them quite yet. The senior bowl should be interesting. Generally, I think there are several on this list with good potential, all seem to have flaws. Going to be a tough decision for OBD. Nassib seems obvious given the connections, but maybe too obvious.

Nah - probably married.

It's funny that 3 our our 1st round dbs started on playoff teams this year: Whitner, Clements, and Winfield.
Funny would not be the first adjective that comes to mind. Unless you are into dark humor, that is. Will McKelvin be the 4th?
Just wait until the Bills draft Dee Milliner with the #8 pick.
I would have to slit my wrists. Seriously.
-
I would really like to keep him, but I suspect he will get better offers elsewhere, and be added to the infamous "one and done" list of high 1st round DB draft picks of the Bills.

Tons of experience and has worked with Marrone in the pros and at 'Cuse.

Cronyism.

Fascinating to me that so many posters, like the OP, are experts on qualifications of position coaches in the NFL. I guess they are really upset they were not asked their opinion. All senior mangers hire people they know and trust when possible, or at least backgrounds they know and trust. This is how organizations are built. It is no surprise that when you hire the Jets DC for example, he brings along people he worked with, is it? Or that when you hire a HC he turns to others he knows and trusts? Position coaches will not make or break this thing. It will take the whole staff buying into a philosophy and being able to instill that in the players. Anybody have any real input on the skills of the position coaches on their ability to do that? The coordinators seem capable to me.
-
LOL, the points are hard to argue with.
As others have pointed out, these were not even the worst coaches in Bills history, much less all time in the NFL. That right there is enough to discredit anything else this guy has to say.
-
Not to smart. Dehaven's kick off returners ranked 4th, Detroit 31st. Dehaven's punt returners 1st, Detroit 15th. I am not sure Marrone sgtacking the staff with buddies is wise. Just aske Wade Phillips about Ronnie Jones.
And who was returning kicks for Detroit? McKelvin is a premier returner who had a great season before being injured. Stefan Logan - not so much.

Stopped reading when I saw the Bleecher Report links.

theres no way crossman should be a celebrated hire. hes a hold our breathe and hope it works guy.
pettine is a good get. even if he doesnt work out - in the moment hes a good guy to target.
hackett, is a boom or bust roll of the dice. if they were going to roll the dice - OC was the spot to do it.
Agree with this assessment, although I really do like the Pettine and Hackett hires, especially Pettine. I think Crossman will be fine if he has the tools to work with. His record is average over the past six years - good years and bad years.

I was hoping for Bobby April as we had our best special Teams with him and his have always been good, Although not sure about his time in Phily as I didn't pay attention to him there but I assume they were good.
According to the Football Outsiders rankings, the Eagles ST have gotten worse each year since Bobby April has been there. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst2010 Also according to these rankings, while Detroit ST was bad last year, he has had some very good ST in both Carolina and Detroit under his leadership - up and down generally.

Hey I'll admit when I'm wrong. I could've sworn I'd read a while back that the average murderer only ends up serving five years in the US. I cannot find anything to support that claim after a brief search.
As far as Lewis, I didn't know anything about the clothing, but that's pretty incriminating I suppose. I was aware that he ratted out his friends in court. Personally, I wasn't there that night in Atlanta, so I just thought that saying he should be in jail for life is a little harsh for someone who was not found guilty of any crime. Clearly his friends had more to do with the incident than he did, I think we could agree on that. Either way, I find his whole God act pretty tired.
Not sure I would agree with that. As I recall, Lewis was charged with murder, but a witness who had previously agreed to testify against him recanted his testimony, forcing the plea deal. I do not think we can say his friends had more to do with it than he did. We will probably never know. He was convicted of obstruction, a felony, and got off light. How sincere his "seeing the light" act is also a question to me. He will always be a POS as far as I am concerned. Living near Baltimore, I am pretty sick of the hero worship heaped on him around here.

They are not called "Baltimorons" for nothing.

The problem with your scenario is that other teams also have the capability of maneuvering up to draft ahead of us to take a qb we covet. That is why I prefer taking the plunge on a qb selection with our first pick. If you review last year's draft you will notice that qbs such as Tannehill and Locker were taken higher than their player rankings. That same process will happen again this year.
I agree. My main point is that Bills cannot afford to be passive even if it means taking the guy they want way ahead of "projections". I would be fine with taking QB at 8 if that is they guy they think they need, Mel Kiper and Todd McShay be damned. They need to get the guy they want.

I LOVE the moves so far. I was not a fan of hiring Lovie, which in many ways would have been the "safe" move, but there is a reason why he was fired and a reason why he is not favored for of any of the other open positions. He has had his chance. These are bold moves by the Bills, but measured and well reasoned. They have acted swiftly and decisively and in the process nabbed a HC who was on the the radar of multiple other teams, and a DC with exactly the kind of agressive and creative pedigree the Bills need, who also happens to be a key member of a rival's staff. I also love the OC hire for the reasons I have already posted in the Hackett thread. I think there are many reasons for optimism over these moves - not the same old Bills IMO. Of course, given history, our optimism should be tempered by wait and see, but I do not see anything to be upset about so far.

That sounds tooom much like Chan being HC and OC. Doug won't have time to bring up junior and learn to be an NFL HC. Would have liked to see an experienced NFL OC, like the DC choice which I like alot.
It does not sound the same at all to me. Chan indicated right from the beginning that he would focus on offense and call the plays. He brought in an administrative hack to do the grunt work during the week. In this case, Marrone has been clear he will not call plays, and will rely on the coordinators. He has brought in someone who has played that role for him, who is in line with his philosophies, and who he trusts to implement them. Very different. I like this hire a lot - young, innovative, and in tune with the HC. Well done, IMO.

Waiting for confirmation on Chan Gailey's status as head coach. On the phone now with Ralph to get the official word from the guy who runs the #Bills.

They have lots to talk about ... The roaring 20's, the good old days of pencils, arthritis, gout, etc.

Don't be surprised if Nassib is available in the 2nd round. It seems like the Bills are the only team that holds him that high. DE or LB in the first round is the right pick. Need to stop the run first before we can think offense.
I suspect that if the Bills do not take a QB at number 8, a distinct possibility, they will need to trade back into the first round to assure themselves of getting the guy they want. They cannot sit back passively and wait for a QB to fall to them. Too many teams with QB needs ahead of them. In all likelihood, but the time of the draft, you will see QB prospects coming up the board. If they escape the top 8 without their target getting picked, they damn well better be agressive on moving up, perhaps way up. I have no problem with them taking a QB they want at the expense of more draft choices.

Frankly, this is a sign of how loyal us bills fans are. Only in buffalo will hiring a couple of coaches (after 14 years of nothing) rejuvenate the fan base.
While this no doubt true, I think there is real reason for optimism in this case. Although, our offseason hopes have often turned to frustration once the football starts .... Happy offseason everyone.
