Well, if nfl.com's running with it, might as well have fun with it right?: 1.) We need a development quarterback - Say what you will about him, but he was able to come from behind to beat the Steelers in the playoffs. I'd say that's a pretty good place to start the devolpment process. 2.) He can contribute on offense while holding the clipboard - Wildcat. Yes, we do have Brad Smith in place. But why can't we be greedy? Both can run it. Hell, imagine them running the gimmick together? Coached on it by it's creator, our new QB's coach, by the way. 3.) ALL eyes on Buffalo - If Mario Williams put us back on the map a little; getting Tebow would REALLY make people pay attention to us. It'd be a welcome change of pace. 4.) Charity - The NFL.com article is right. Chan Gailey is probably one of the very few people who would know how to use the kid. David Lee as well. Honestly, the kid may not have a better opportunity than us. 5.) $$$ - You could probably make a profit on what you'd have to pay him in jersey sales alone!

Honestly, if his fans weren't so psychotic, I'd be okay with them giving as high as a 3rd. I think Brad running the wildcat with Tebow would be dangerously interesting. Not to mention, he'd be a more than exciting prospect in the "Developmental QB" role. But, again, his fans are a maniacal cult. The media being a part of it. If he were to come in, I think there would be some serious chemistry complications.

Yep. Unimpressive combine, unimpressive pro day, and being projected at Guard. Might want to change the title from "Bank on it!" to "No fudgin' way!".

Not high on him. I'm fairly positive he played Right Tackle in college. He's essentially a Bryan Bulaga clone. Which is great. But we need a Left Tackle. Pears is set as our starter for that role. Some people even say Reiff's best fit is Guard. No, don't like him. If we go OT, the pick is either Jonathan Martin or a trade down for Mike Adams. I really think Martin is the pick.

I don't know if you've had a chance to look at Mario's deal or not, but it pretty much took all of our cap space we had beyond what we need to sign our draft picks and resign players who's contracts are up after this season. And Buddy's stated we're most likely out of the UFA business after the Mario deal. Beyond that, the FA pool for what we need (#2 Speedy Big WR and LT) is pretty much dry. So barring a surprise release we can get at a fair price, I don't think we're doing anything beyond the draft and resigning our own. Which is the right move to make. No point in signing someone just to sign someone. Maybe we can get Bell and/or Scott back, but that's the most I expect.

Psh. We signed the #1 draft pick from 2006. Isn't it just like Miami to have to go out and sign the #1 draft pick from 2005?

The real question here: is he flying out to pick her up? Or did he fly her in? If he flew her in; that's huge! Paul Peck has had some pretty big scoops. This could be his biggest!

Failsauce.

Really, Silver? You don't like how it's being run? Were you a fan of Tom Donahoe then? Nix is running things better than it's been run in years. I don't get that comment.

If this is accurate, I think it's pretty great that Stevie is just a 4.3 mil cap hit for this year. To get him back for that this year will leave us a lot more money to get guys in FA. Kudos!

My problem with it isn't that I think it's NOT laughable that he'd come here. Such an idea is a pipedream. But if you're going to talk seriously about Cleveland and Jacksonville; how can you post "LOL" about the Bills? Like the Browns and Jags are an upgrade!

According to Nix, it's not gonna happen: http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2012/3/1/2835452/buffalo-bills-are-not-in-on-robert-griffin-iii-per-buddy-nix

Apparently not. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2012/3/1/2835452/buffalo-bills-are-not-in-on-robert-griffin-iii-per-buddy-nix

This was a no brainer. But he won't be there when we pick.

I hate when we drafted him. There were better DT's on the board than him. But I just shrugged and said "well, this is Nix/Gailey and not Jauron/Brandon or Marv. They must think he's a better fit". Almost two years later, it looks like an even worse pick than I thought at the time :/

I was a fan of Aaron Maybin coming out of college. His year coming into the draft was nothing short of amazing. I was excited we got him. But when he came to Buffalo, it just wasn't there. I think he got drafted and got paid and got comfy. He was given opportunities and failed. We cut him. The Jets signed him and then the Jets cut him. Because of injuries, he was brought back. He now plays with intensity. I think he sat and home and realized his career was over before it started. And that is why he has finally shown something. His back was COMPLETELY against the wall. In the end, Aaron Maybin would have never played that way for the Bills, in my mind. Good for him and his future in the NFL. But it makes me sick that he wouldn't do it for us.

We saved a few million dollars that we didn't use. And who needs a backup center anyways? It's obvious you can just plug in any old lineman there.

We saved a couple million dollars or so and who needs a backup Center anyways? It's pretty obvious, you can just plug in anyone at Center.

I concur. At this moment, we need all the help we can get. Something isn't right with Stevie. Whether it be an illness, unhappiness, and/or lingering injury. Now it looks like he messed up his shoulder. The Donald Jones experiment is not working out. Let's be honest. We don't have anyone who will beat you deep. At this point, what do we have to lose?

Now George Wilson's getting checked out for a Stinger. Even better. EDIT: And now the announcers are saying Eric Wood's down. But I guess every team has injuries >_>

Just off the top of my head, this is a list of players that are not playing today that were on our roster for Game 1: Demetrius Bell Shawne Merriman Kyle Williams Chris Kelsay Rian Lindell Aaron Williams Roscoe Parrish Chris Hairston is dressed, but still hurting. But if you just lay it all out and look at how many key players we've been down for at least a few weeks; it's incredibly damning. That's not even counting how long we were down Terrence McGee and Donald Jones. I know every team deals with injuries. But it just seems like we're always fighting an uphill battle with the injury bug. I just don't know how we can expect us to win like this. The past few weeks, I think the injuries are really killing us.

Where is this veiled accusation? Are you referring to my post of his tweet? If so, did I say he was most certainly taking a shot at Freddie? No. I specifically pointed out I may be reading something into nothing. And that's why I wanted to discuss it. I was interested in what the rest of you thought. And it seems you all think it was just a joke. Which is what I actually wanted to hear.

I did not see that reply as @replies don't show up on feeds. And like I said in the OP, I may be reading something into nothing. But the timing of the joke and lack of joke indicators that he usually uses (i.e. 'lol', 'ha', etc.) raised an eyebrow with me. But it appears the majority of people don't see it that way and that I was reading something into nothing. And i'm fine with that. I actually prefer me reading into nothing than the alternative of him actually being unhappy. But I thought it worth discussing. The stick's not up my ass. I'm not sure where this stick you speak of actually is, but yeah, not inside of me. I'm not attacking Stevie or anyone else here so i'm confused by the attacks from posters. But, it was a Bills event for Bills fans and this is a Bills fan forum. I'm merely discussing it.
