Washington played DT in college, Lawson played DE and Ragland would be just fine as a 4-3 MLB. I'm not a huge Preston brown fan but I assume he would be the WLB and I guess Hughes would be slb

Literally nothing

We're going to stealth tank next year. They are going to build him up and then throw Cardale to the wolves, win 3-4 games and then draft a QB next year.

I absolutely can and no I will never forget you wanted to trade Mario for John Skelton.

Have we cut TT and I didn't notice?

Hooker. I like Williams from Clemson too

Church

Denver tried to sign him 2 years ago BEFORE he had experience as a starting QB, what makes you think they wouldn't be more interested now?

I suspect that's why they were both let go together

I'm telling you guys, listen to the spin coming from OBD, they are trying to get people pumped about Cardale. If we bring in a veteran it will be an open competition and I don't think it will be a big money guy. This is the same thing that happened with Orton; they brought him in with the intention of being a mentor but it didn't work because EJ was so bad. They are either going to sign a lower tier FA QB and try to start Cardale or else they go for the big splash and try to grab a 1st rd QB, even though Kizer is the best one out there and I don't think he's ready to play right away.

John Murphy is a mouthpiece for the organization and they use him to push the narratives they are trying to sell. Listen to his show and read the spin articles being posted on his website and you can see they are trying to get us excited about next season because basically we will actually have our top 2 picks from THIS year playing; Cardale Jones is being compared to Big Ben and it doesn't really matter who our QB is because we have the best rushing attack in the league.

Why hide behind a censored bar, I see what you typed but what are you SAYING??? Question for JW - have you gotten the impression from other FO types in the league that DW is well thought of? I mean all the speculation on this board is 90% piss and 10% vinegar and the truth is we can all have strong opinions but will never do what he does for a living. I'm not trying to get you to give your opinion on him, just a general sense of how he and his staff are regarded. Thanks

I sincerely hop no one has ALREADY given up on Cardale. If you read the narrative the Bills have been hinting at on their website the past couple of days it seems like he's our starting QB next year. Article up today with Tasker comparing him to Big Ben. The media department is very carefully controlled with what they put out there and I doubt it's an accident. Look at the spin they are already trying to put on the season with these articles: "back to back rushing titles are rare", "another year leading the league on the ground", "Cardale is like Big Ben?"; JM show clips uploaded: "Cardale has freakish arm." They are currently pushing 3 narratives 1- the Bills have an incredible run game; 2 - Everyone should be excited for next season because Ragland will be back and better than ever; 3 - Cardale is the new Roethlisberger.

I don't think Whaley cared one bit about Rex. I don't think he particularly cared to dwell on the decision made once it had been made without him either. I think he's a guy who realizes that's what's done is done and there is no use wasting time having feelings about it. Much better just to move on and do your job.

A Lynn has said himself he is aware that teams may be inclined just to interview him for Rooney Rule purposes and that he is similarly inclined not to interview when he feels that way. At this point the only evidence we have of teams' motivations is the fact that Lynn is actually going to the interviews. As such, we should take him at his word and presume that the interviews are, at least on the surface, being conducted in earnest.

Meh

Honestly, I think Whaley is drafting a QB and intends to start him right away

I'm shocked. I didn't think people on this board knew there WERE any coaches other than Bill Cowher as much as his name comes up here for no reason.

He's middle of the pack at best. I didn't say he was awful though.

I'm getting the feeling that a lot of the resistance to this move isn't because people think TT is going to develop into the next Brady, but rather they are afraid of winding up with someone worse. It's like we're so used to having awful QB play that when someone mediocre comes around we almost feel like he's as good as we deserve and should build around him. It's kind of like that friend everyone has who has a gf who is pretty good looking but treats him like crap. Everyone knows he would be better off without her and tells him that, but he's not moving on from a known quantity to an unknown one blind... kind of like how TT won't throw to a receiver he doesn't already see is open.

Unless we bring in another experienced Qb it's a rebuild. We're not winning more than 4 games if we start Cardale or a rookie since TT is walking

Article says team can block coaches who are under contract unless getting interviewed for HC. For some reason I thought the rule was unless it was for a promotion, i.e. QB coach to OC, but I was evidently wrong.

Buffalo media narrative "Broncos, team who know him best, reject Lynn as HC candidate"

This is what we DO know. The Bills PR staff are incompetent, the Bills GM is terrible at press conferences and treats local media with contempt... and that's it. They are basing all the dysfunction talk on comments Whaley made when he was up talking smack and they are trying to generate a reaction or response by idly speculating about his job security and whether or not he has feelings about things that have happened in his life. Everything else is speculation.
