If anyone should go, it should be you. Your post is vile and unwarrented. What makes you think your opinions are worth anything?
-
This could be one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard. Since when does any team come out and say they do not like this player or that player? It is sort of obvious that if they like his potential as a QB they would have drafted him. Clausen simply carries too much risk to draft that high when you have so many other needs to fill. It does not seem to be only the Bills who thought so. Nix was quite up front about his desire to improve the QB position if he could. What they said is that there was no option available to them that was better right now. Despite the sentiment on this board for Jason Campbell, Troy Smith, and every project QB onm this year's list. They did try to get McNabb - a clear upgrade. Any other options, I do not believe are clearly better than filling other holes.

Interesting Comparison Of TE to Sanchez and Henne
FLFan replied to yungmack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Perhaps TE does not have the upside of either Henne or Sanchez - who knows - but neither of those guys have looked like a competent NFL QB so far. It is astounding to me the way the pundits rave about the Jets and Dolphins yet their QB's have not shown themselves to be even average so far. The Jets won 9 games despite Sanchez's erratic play and Henne is consistently not up to it when the game needs to be put in his hands. Assuming better line play, better running games, and better coaching as most would readily agree to for the Jests and Dolphags, these QB's have not exactly risen to the top. Not sure what Edwards or Brohm will do with better coaching, game planning, and hopefully, better (or at least consistent) line play this year, but there is every possibility the Bills will be better off at QB, or at least as good, as those two teams, despite neither TE or BB looking like they are all pro material so far. -
Pat Moran reporting Edwards will be qb1 = continuity of FAIL

My favorite is the first line: "despite mounting growing sentiment". Wow. That's really a lot of sentiment. -
OBD Members 2010 Predictions Thread
FLFan replied to BUFFALOKIE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the Bills will be better than people think while the Jets are way over rated and the Dolphins plain stink. My prediction at this point is two wins over the Dolphags, split with the Jets and two more losses to the Pats being the difference in the division. NE. 10/6 But 8/8 NY. 7/9 MIA. 6/10 -
Who said anything about Rusty Jones? I was referring to the facts that the Bills over Jauron's tenure were routinely outplayed in 4th quarters, often looking gassed and overmatched, combined with the highly unusual, consistently high injury ratyes. This speaks to poor conditioning, as evidenced by the "Camp jauron" atmoshere of the Bill's training during his reign.
-
I think this is spot on. What is more telling about the 2008 season is the total and historic collapse after the first six games. Jauron's teams in Buffalo simply never finished well - whether it is finisihing a season, or finishing a game. He was easy to beat by competent coaches on the opposing sidelines and his players may have tried hard but were poorly conditioned and poorly prepared to deal with adversity. (the term "weak willed" comes to mind) Those traits were regular as clockwork. A competent head coach was probably worth at least 2 or 3 wins in each of the past 4 years - perhaps more - even with some of the obvious holes in talent. I like what I see from Nix and Gailey so far with respect to both filling the talent holes and properly preparing the team. We will soon see. (can't come fast enough)

Which quarterback are you pulling for ultimately
FLFan replied to Glass To The Arson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am hoping that Brohm is able to win the job. Poor coaching, bad schemes, bad lines and other excuses aside, Edwards simply does not exhibit the type of leadership and confidence on the field the leads to good QB play. I do not think he has it in him. If Gailey sees differently, and Trent wins the job, fine, but I am really hoping Brohm wins the job coming out of camp. Lets see what he can do. -
It would be great news for the Bills if Brohm could actually get it together and win the job outright. The guy has skills. Sometimes it just takes a little time, and being put in the right situation, for a young QB to finally get it. I am hoping this is the case with Brohm.
-
I wonder if you could possibly be any more of a self important, mindless little troll? You yap constantly with the same opinions, offer nothing in the way of real analysis, and congratulate yourself for your insights. Get over yourself.

Well adjusted.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5290404 I did not see this posted anywhere (so maybe nobody cares) but as expected Fat Albert is a no show in Washington and demanding a trade. This is one Snyder mistake that will keep paying dividends for the Redskin's opponents for quite some time. It will be interesting to see if Shanahan can actually instill some team first attitude with the rest of the players. Haynesworth is the epitomy of the problem with this team for years. Not Bills related really (unless someone thinks we should trade for this turd) but kind of funny given last year's hype over the signing.

Season Team Passing Rushing Fumbles G GS Comp Att Pct Yds Avg TD Int Sck SckY Rate Att Yds Avg TD FUM Lost 15 15 196 364 53.8 2,444 6.7 12 20 26 195 63.0 36 106 2.9 3 10 3 So what is your point about Sanchez - that he is far superior to any Bills QB? Maybe someday, but it seems you are buying the hype and not the facts as indicated above. Marky Marks stats from last year are actually worse than any Bills QB. Evans is twice the receiver Edwards is based on accomplishment. Revis is a great player and we do not know about McKelvin yet. The Jest are over-hyped, especially the pretty boy SoCal QB. Maybe he will improve this year, maybe not. He certainly has the pedegree and the hype, but was fortunate to start his career on a team and in a system where he was not expected to be the difference maker, and was not.

How the Bills might fit in the NFL this year
FLFan replied to sllib olaffub's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe you have never seen Jason Campbell play? He is the very definition of mediocrity and would not have been an upgrade. You can quote stats all you want, but jason Campbell will never have the decision m,aiong ability or leadershipm qualities necessary to be a good NFL QB. That does not mean any of the Bill's QBs will either, only that Campbell is no upgrade. -
The Winds of Change are a blowing
FLFan replied to Mark Long Beach's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The problem is you do nothing but whine. You offer the same tired opinion on every thread with little (or nothing) in the way of any real analysis or thought. Just "the Bills will suck". Great. This is why you are tiresome and many people think you are a troll. -
Why is anyone taking this troll seriously? Please ignore him - maybe he will go away.
-
Good one.
-
This thread has me thinking - what we really need is a Tebow thread! Why not rehash all the bad QB choices we could have made?
-
Roscoe has had plenty of chances. He is and always will be one dimensional. Spiller has as good or better speed and is far more versatile. No need for Roscoe on the Bills unless he completely turns around his game in camp, IMO.

Time to see how these sun-belt rookies handle snow
FLFan replied to The Senator's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
By way of national policy, the statement is true. There are no doubt many scientists with differing views on the subject. With respect to acknowledgement of the problem at the national level the US stands alone in terms of major industrialized nations in its denial. This is not Al Gore's theory. Lets get our facts straight. -
It is a little early to say there will be no improvement. Many things have changed - new coaching, new schemes and plays, new talent (Spiller), some new OL players, and the young OL players from last year are more experienced. There are certainly concerns but I expect considerable improvement.

Post of the night on this thread so far IMHO
