Should need 1,000 posts before you can start a thread. Or only Yolo should be allowed.
I vote for 200, but I agree on the post requirement. The Yolo comment too.

Why would we release Chandler? We need MORE TEs, not fewer
-
Bring him and Fitzbeard back!

Never mind what I said originally, just read Carruci's tweet - Freaking Joe B!

Don't kill the messenger. This is how Belicheat operates to good effect. It's a bastard of a business. Leroi may make some sense here as this latest FO is all about winning and sticking to a plan for once. It's what we all have been asking for....but just like sausage, it's tough to watch being made. Fred is one of my top ten favorite Bills and I've been a fan since 1963.
To clarify, I have zero problems with his claim to have sources or inside knowledge. However I take issue with anyone making a comment that drips with this much arrogance and condescension.
"He should avoid the perception of disrespect and just retire."

You're not biased, you're objective, reasoned and completely accurate.
I agree. The Bills have been pretty much garbage for most of this millennium. I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say that, as someone who loves the team, rooting for them has often been painful. I understand it's just a sport, but I get frustrated and upset when the media and people IRL rip on MY team or call them irrelevant, because this team is not irrelevant to me.
I will talk dispassionately about 99% of the other players on the roster, but Fred Jackson has singlehandedly been responsible for many of the often all too rare occasions over the past few years in which I've been flat-out excited to root for the Bills. When you're mired in mediocrity, you look for a reason to have hope and Fred has always represented that for me. The guy plays every down like it's his last and has carried subpar teams on his shoulders on countless occasions. I don't really care what his cap number is: Fred Jackson is Buffalo to me and I don't think I could support cutting him for any reason. He deserves to retire a Bill.
I now await your insults...

Freddie is everything you want in a player. Hard worker. Team leader. Had the 3rd highest total for receiving yards of running backs in 2014. Not on the team...in the NFL. THIRD. Led the team in rushing behind a very suspect line. Who cares about is YPC. He beat Spiller. Who cares about his age. He still has it. Freddie gets 4 yards when he should get two. Great blocking on 3rd down. I can't tell you how many times I would yell at the TV "I love you Freddie" because he just gives you more than the play was going to get. Did the FO forget that stiff-arm during the Bears game? Someone mentioned Freddie getting injured...he has always come back from injuries sonner than expected. And you're gonna (potentially) cut him for Bilal Powell? Really??? Bilal. Powell. Oi.
Glad Pegula (supposedly) stepped in. He's not saying Freddie needs to start. But the fans were right on this one, in my book. There are some things you can't measure, and that's what Freddie brings.
Don't let facts ruin people's ill-formed opinions!

Fred is gone regardless who they bring in.
We are not taking a 2.7 mill cap hit to see if there is anything left.
We noticed a huge decline last year and that will continue.
He should avoid the perception of disrespect and just retire.
Imo
Your head is WAY too big. Unless your name is Whaley or Pegula, stop acting like you're a shot caller. This post was douchey. I don't care who your "sources" are.

Kiko for McCoy gets the Bills an excellent 26 year old running back with a 40 million contract, This seems like a good GM move.
but a better GM move would have been drafting Lev'on Bell in the second round instead of Kiko in the first place. This would give the Bills an excellent 23 year old running back with a 4 million contract, and lots more cap space for other players.
In truth in the 6 years Whaley has been with the organization the Bills have added four outstanding players. Mario Williams, whom they made the highest paid defensive player in the league. Marcell Dareus with the #3 overall pick in a draft where 9 of the top 15 players (including the first 7 picks) have all been outstanding players. Sammy Watkins, who used 2 #1 picks (and maybe missed on true franchise QBs in Teddy Bridgewater and Derek Carr). Lesean McCoy at a position that only that saw only 1 of the top 8 players at the position make the playoffs last year. (they already had the ninth highest paid in Spiller.
It really doesn't take incredible talent to overpay for top assets. The investment in draft picks and money in these four players, if the Bills don't make a deep playoff run in 2015, it should be considered a failure by the Bills front office, led by GM Whaley.
This analysis is a fail on several levels, not to mention the fact you state your opinions as if they were fact.

Overdorf is giving Hughes camp a tour of the new facility. Its taking a while because old
Jimmy can't decide whether to start the tour upstairs or downstairs.
LOL. That was such a weird sad moment in the video
-
Please clarify that you are talking about Mario Williams. Not on the 2015 roster?
Cut Urbik and Chris Williams, our other terrible OG
-
Harris, Boling, apparently we are getting Vernon Davis, sign Hughes, then we just need a Safety but I think they like Duke apparently
I like Graham at S too. I'm not overly worried about that position. I really think we need to get Hughes signed too (yeah I know, this is a REALLY original thought).
-
You come off as a decent enough guy, but I'm not sure i agree with your talent assessment of our Oline at any position
-
I want a competition and let the best guy play
-
Yeah I'd expect to see Harris and Boling as well. I have no idea what they think about the RT position. We drafted 2 tackles last year and i have a hard time thinking Henderson won't develop into something decent.
-
Looks like he (almost) pulled Matt Moore out of the article after the Cassell deal was made.
Haha, yeah I saw that
-
I actually found this to be an interesting read. I hadn't realized Boling and Glenn were college linemates, that makes signing Boling a no-brainer to me.
-
Yes and by the time we pick at #50 the top 5-6 will be gone already, and nobody after that could hold Hughes jock....
I disagree completely. But I do hope we re-sign him
-
We are not likely to find that type of edge rushing talent by the time we pick, so it safe to say that we will need DE/LB hybrid types like Hughes in free agency....unless we trade.
This draft is full of edge rushers...
-
If Kiko wanted out, then whatever.
-
Trump card played.
Fail comment. Maronne flushed the deck by throwing a hissy-fit when he didn't win a power-struggle and quit. I can tolerate a lot of issues, but being a quitter is something you don't come back from. I don't re-hire quitters, they buckle under pressure and bolt.

I figured since he almost became our Football Czar these grades might make for some interesting discussion. If you want I can post the C's and C-'s but the C list is as long as the other lists combined.
Thank you for posting, and this isn't a shot at you, OP, but can we please stop pretending that Polian is relevant anymore?
I mean, I get it. But, he's a broadcaster now. He should be held in a esteem that reflects likewise.
I dunno, I feel like he gave a good enough disclaimer as to his reasons for posting the link. I like the post, even if it's just because it's not another thread about QBs
-
Doomed!

This better mean a contract is in the offing
Jordan Cameron re-signs with Browns -just kidding! Fish!
