The schmuck who wrote that article is the same one who reported "inside sources" saying we were shopping Losman on the open market. He's a moron.

Oakland is much more likely to draft Cutler because he is much better than Young at throwing the deep ball. They didn't go out and get Moss to have him run deep routes only to turn around 20 yards downfield and realize Young is running. You think I'm wrong? With the exception of TO and McNabb, who lasted 1 year together with all that tension, what other scrambling QB in the league now has top tier receivers?

I mean that's ideal .The problem is that it leaves us starting scrubs and creating depth at other positions. 3 6s play better than a 10 and 2 4s just because you create huge gaps on the field. I wish we could just draft the best players available. Honestly, this draft is deep enough at OL and DL that we could just take the best player available and still fill our holes.

I love Stovall in the 4th. I'd take him over every receiver on our team right now other than evans of course. I really wish we hadn't re-signed Josh Reed.

http://www.nfldraftblitz.com/mock_draft.htm This is an interesting take on Bunkley. I link them not because I think they are the most authoritative site, but because it's an interesting perspective, it seems intelligent and we haven't really talked about Bunkley being so similar to Triplett. I'm thinking Huff now even thoughI don't like S as much as like a Justice.

Ummm. a S or a TE would be a luxury pick. Outside of OL DL I would only want a QB. If you think Losman or Nall is the QB of the future youre smoking grass.

Disclaimer: This is meant merely for conversation. I obviously like Young but the question for discussion here is not whether you would like us to draft Cutler or Young, merely which one you think will be a better NFL qb. Play-I like Young because he's a gamer. He steps up in pressure and finds a way to win. The kid has a good arm and great mobility. I could care less about what some test score is, I care about how he passes the test on the field and this kid has passed with flying colors. Cutler can make a lot of throws. He has great arm strength, decent mobility and good decision-making but while i feel like he will be a good NFL qb I think his hype is more of a product of the combine and post-graduation performance. I'm not taking anything away from him, I just think Young is a better QB. What's more, this league is a business. Young is going to be a star in this league because he's mobile and we all know mobile qbs are a magnet for media attention. After all that, I believe they will both be good NFL qbs, with Young having the slight edge just because he's a proven winner. Great players just get things done in the end. As a side note, Leinhart is the real deal. I've seen him play live (I was one of the unfortunate few who rushed the field at the ND game only to have my heart ripped out of my chest). That deep throw he made was in tight coverage and if you watch the replay he actually gets the ball in perfectly, passing over the crook in the cb's elbow by about 2 inches. He's cash in the bank. Public Relations- Getting media attention and having those color commentators wagging their tongues about a guy's play and his talent only makes a franchise more attractive for free agents. Look at the league as it is now. Payton and Brady are better than Vick and McNabb, but the media hype would have you think they were just as good. Some players have a certain panache around them that makes people stand up and take notice, they attract other players because they make them believe that they could lead them to victory in any given game. Intangibles like this make me want to believe in Young and I would want him on my team. He would not only make players around him better, he would get better players to want to be around him and come play for his team on both sides of the ball.

SO, where were all you tipsters with inside sources on THIS one? Soprano, you should have known something. Just goes to show yet again "inside sources" are a bunch of stevestojan.

this thread has too many posts over 50 words. All i retained waas the fart comment out of all that.

Huff is a luxury pick because we have two starting S who can play right now, I dont care about in a couple of years. Davis is about as exciting as Ben Watson was when he came out, you're just following the leader like the rest of the sheep. We do NOT have DL or OL, nor do we have a QB. We will take Justice, Ngata/Bunkley, or Young. PS- If Ralph really wants to make money he should take someone people would actually be excited to go see play, like Young. I don't give a damn about what you think about him, the guy is a baller and gets 'er done. Oh yeah and maybe people would have something else to say about Buffalo other than we are perennial doormats.

Excellent signing. I see a made for tv movie in the future. Hopefully not starring that moron from Second String. He looked more like a shoe salesman than a QB.

Hell yeah, very excited to have him back. We leased him out for 3 years and got Willis as payment.

those boards change more often than I change my underwear

You guys are fairweather. I'm a Bills fan, Buffalo or not and that will never change.

Huff is overhyped. I really hope we get someone else.

Screw the Huff pick giving me any hope. If we lose Clements that's the last straw for me. With the current ownership's concern about staying in Buffalo at all and the fact that our 8th worst record in the league team is markedly WORSE than last year as we stand right now, it's starting to become apparent to me that we won't make the playoffs this decade. This team has NO commitment to winning. We lose Clements and I'll lose all faith in the Bills, not because I like him so much, but because we've managed to re-sign exactly 1 good player (Schobel) in the past 5 years. The Bills have become the NFL's farm system, developing young players and letting them go to other teams to play the best years of their career rather than pay them.

I like rd 1 and 4, but the rest ...

2 years from now -- 9-7. I feel like our draft picks from this year are going ot be contributors, the draft is deep. High pick net year gives us some offensive firepower and we turn it around.

Sept. 10 @ New England 1:00pm - L Sept. 17 @ Miami 1:00pm - L Sept. 24 NY Jets 1:00pm - L Oct. 1 Minnesota 1:00pm - W Oct. 8 @ Chicago 1:00pm - L Oct. 15 @ Detroit 1:00pm - W Oct. 22 New England 1:00pm - L Oct. 29 Bye Nov. 5 Green Bay 1:00pm - W Nov. 12 @ Indianapolis 1:00pm - L Nov. 19 @ Houston 1:00pm - W Nov. 26 Jacksonville 1:00pm - L Dec. 3 San Diego 1:00pm - L Dec. 10 @ NY Jets 1:00pm - L Dec. 17 Miami 1:00pm - L Dec. 24 Tennessee 1:00pm - W Dec. 31 @ Baltimore 1:00pm - L 5-11. We're not gonna beat anyone in our division. I gave us the Houston win just because I refuse to believe we lose to them, but if they have Bush we can't stop him. So, maybe 4-12.

Gonna miss Sundowners.

Screw it I'd take Young. Maybe someone will say something nice about us for a change. it's be nice to have someone decent playing QB for us. Losman wasn't a big deal even in college, at least we'd have a winner and someone who would give us some hope. In that vein, I want someone that will actually give me hope for the future, Cutler doesn't, Young and Hawk do.

Bing is sweet

The only good thing about your post is that now I have someone else to hate other than JP. Loosen up, have a couple beers and then you know... drive home.

I thought there was a link that the deal was done and it was their 5th rd pick?

The guy was a great coach for us and has been GM for less than one summer, BACK OFF!!!!!
