[Peter King weighs in about our draft]

Since Jauron coached in Detroit last year and did not burn any bridges when he left, it is pretty likely he had some reliable inside info that Detroit would take the 2 DBs before Sims.   

 

Or that the Rams would take Whitner since they did in fact take a DB with their 1st pick.

 

However, let's assume that Marv should have taken the risk. -so he makes the trade to #15 and Whitner, Ngata and Bunkley are all gone.

 

 

What do the Bills do at #15?

 

The Bills have moved into the twilight zone where the top 13 impact players are gone.

 

No one rated in this area can be counted on to provide immediate help.

 

What's the plan????

It's not the job of writers like King to offer a plan...just criticism.

[Peter King weighs in about our draft]

Am I reading this correctly??

 

"The Broncos would have sent second- and fourth-round picks to move from No. 15 to No. 8."

 

Does this mean the Bills would get Denver's 1st, 2nd, and 4th? Or just the 2nd and 4th for Buffalo's 1st? If it's the latter, then Levy would had to be brain dead to take that deal.

[Is RW cheap?]

First it was players. Now people accuse Ralph of being cheap because he won't give Bill Parcells or Jimmy "Pig Nose" Johnson, or Nick Friggin' Saban $50 million to be head coach.

 

PTR

[its finially starting to sink in]

Except that the Pats just drafted Boney Maroney, or something like that. So now they are going to run all over us, right?

[QB Controversies (link)]

I don't care who it is as long as we win. That being said, I still think it will be Losman.

[If Losman fails at qb this year should the Bills]

Funny - this time last year,  they were saying the same can't-miss franchise guy things about Leinhart...  We had our chance and passed.

 

New toys have a short shelf-life.

Like every other can't-miss big-hype QB every year, who people forget when they flop.

[Bills Record in '06-'07]

I think we'll find out that our players are better than we thought. The difference will be some coherent coaching and playcalling. (I'm hoping anyway.) No playoffs, but 8-8 is doable. Sorry, no Brady Quinn.

McNair = Bledsoe. How did that move work out for us?

[bills should've signed billy volek 2 yrs ago]

People are making the leap that any player not on the Bills HAS to be better than any player on the Bills. Volek may be great, but he's done nothing but carry a clipboard for years. To me Volek was another RJ-type gamble.

[I am not defending the Bills' draft]

McCargo seems to be a reach, IMO. If reaching is wasting, then yes, it's a waste.

681706[/snapback]

If McCargo becomes a player, who cares where he was drafted. People's memories are short. Value is a creation of the Kipers and Kiper-clones. It means absolutely nothing. That's right, nothing. Because players still have to play. Mike Williams was a "value" pick, and how did he work out? We got an A+ for that 2001 draft. What did that get us? Draft grades are like pissing your pants. It gives you a warm feeling for a little while.

 

PTR

[Can we all agree on this]

While we're at it, let's ban Fred Smerlas from visiting Buffalo too. He's spent the last three days on WEEI telling everyone that the Bills "are stupid" for not drafting Leinart, and that a loser city deserves a loser football team.

 

I swear I will bring a crowbar to RWS and personally pry his name of the Wall of Fame. He doesn't deserve to be honored by the Bills.

 

PTR

[I'm curious, since we had Whitner rated so high]

While we may have drafted Huff if available, I believe if Huff was there, the Bills would have traded down to #10 with AZ, figuring Whittner would be there.

[Could Marv's coaching style]

Another of Marv's saying was:

 

"The best rookies are last years rookies"

or something similar.....

He used to also say "...we wore onions tied to our belts, which were the fashion at the time" Or something like that. "What smells like mustard?"

[It HAD to be the Dolphins!!!! HAHAHA]

That kid must be such a bigger punk ass thug then we can even imagine.  No interest from any teams even with all that talent.  Yeah it figures Miami takes a look at him

All that talent? Most of his "talent" is his last name. He started 8 games for VT, and people think he's redy for the NFL??? Can you spell H-Y-P-E?

[Thanks, Leo]

Nobody wants to consider the possiblity that Hollywood-boy Leinart would rather shoot himself than have to play for the Bills.

[IF (and I mean IF) the Bills move, it won't be LA]

It will be Las Vegas. 

 

Mayor Goodman is hard up on getting a professional franchise in Vegas.  It really doesn't matter to him if it's MLB, NBA, or NFL.  He just wants a team. 

 

This article talks about the Chargers now possibly staying in San Diego County, due to the county amending their lease.  Who contacted them about the Chargers relocating in Vegas?  Good old Oscar Goodman. 

 

Who's to say that Goodman also hasn't already contacted Ralph, and would be ready to scoop the Bills to Vegas when Ralph passes on?  It's a thought, and a valid idea.

I'll say it for the umpteenth time....

 

Build a stadium halfway between SD and LA. Call 'em the SoCal Chargers. LA gets it's team. SD still has access to the Chargers. Problems solved.

[IF (and I mean IF) the Bills move, it won't be LA]

I was just in Vegas and read the local paper. They had a story on this very topic. It seems LV has been trying to lure any major league franchise (except NHL) the last year.

 

The problem the article pointed out is that LV is not built to support major league sports. Here's why:

 

1) Growing city? Yes, but mostly laborers and casino workers. Not the kind of folks who buy PSL's and luxury suites.

 

2) This is interesting: LV is a 24 hour city. A three-shift town. Meaning at any given moment 1/3 of the population is working, and 1/3 is sleeping! Thus reducing the available pool of fans for games.

 

3) That being the case, sports that play a lot of games (baseball, basketball, hockey) would have a tough draw. NFL football might work since there are only 10 games (2 pre, 8 reg) a year. Casinos would prbably comp high-rollers tix to games. But what of the playoffs? Then there is always the gambling issue.

 

Las Vegas is certainly a sexy city, but one not bult for major league sports.

[Bills are losers, will always be]

I do hope that guys like Whittner and McCargo read and watch ESPN and hear the trash people like Mort and Gazoo say about them. Nothing like a little extra motivation to succeed.
