Well sure, it makes you sound smarter if you make claims that a quarterback isn't as good as the "bandwagon" claims he is, and "you heard it here first". Half the fan base claims we need to draft every QB that is on the board when we pick, and the other half says everyone that we can possibly get our hands on isn't any good. Btw I noticed earlier in the thread a mention about Trent Edwards and his problem being dealing with pass rush pressure; him being rushed was actually one of his stronger points, he could find the open guy more often than not. He was weak when the 3-4 defenses dropped their extra front 7 player into coverage, and all he could do was, here's that word, check down.

oohhhhhh we were supposed to PRETEND to be injured for those years he was our DC?? oops alright let everyone know they took it too literal!

St. Louis released Schuylar Oordt (TE), wasn't he a name that was being thrown around here as an intreaging low-risk prospect a few months ago? Maybe check out his pre-season games and see if he's worth sticking on our PS?

Barnett was the 3rd best MLB/ILB in 2009, the first year the Packers switched to the 3-4, when they had the #1 rated run defense. Surely he's somewhat less than that now, since he was the 2nd string guy last year on the Packers between injury and good younger players ahead of him, because they're not going to sit one of the top MLB's. Just a non-point. Much of these things are. "Wow, Brian Hoyer is taking a considerable portion of New England's QB snaps... really shows the state of NE's roster"... Really? Does it?? Zilch.

I would have to say the Lawyer Milloy being cut by the Pats* the week before the start of the season, back in like '03 or '04 stands out the most. Really was a great week, as we actually got it done, and then went on to beat his former team 31-0. The rest of that season is rather forgettable, if memory serves...

If two guys were on yours, wouldn't you do the same?? I don't think this qualifies as a character concern at all...

I live about 5 hours from Buffalo in central NY, nobody in my family is into sports, but I remember going with my father to a superbowl party when I was about 5 or 6. It was the Buffalo/Cowboys (I think the 2nd one) when the Bills were just getting walked over, I think Kelly was out and whoever was in for him fumbled and Leon Lett was running it back for the TD. You know how the rest goes, Don Beebe runs him down and swats the ball out of the showboating Lett's hand at the goalline, and I was immediately a Bills fan for life. Never stop playing hard spirit was shown on that play, showing the difference between a showboating team and a team of guys who wanted it more but just weren't good enough, as the later kelly teams unfortunately became.

I have confidence she can throw a tight ball in the cold Buffalo winds...

Perhaps more accurately, Maybin can get pancaked with 3800 lbs of force, or deposit his stolen check into the bank teller's hand with 3800 lbs of force...?

Why don't we just draft her... WOW.

I was looking through the archives at Billsdaily, and found myself checking out old draft mocks from early this decade. Everyone knows how poorly the Bills have drafted since the original stinker, the Eric Flowers Draft. If your not, and you have a strong stomach, here is the 2000 Bills Draft. What really struck me was when I read the mock draft that Steve Saslow puts out every year. It was a more innocent time, when Buffalo fans had obviously been spoiled by success for the last decade-plus. There was such optimism in his words, and confidance in his team, he sounded like a Patriots or Steelers fan would sound today in their mocks. Knowing the baseball-bat upside the head that was about to befall this team and fanbase starting with this draft, and continuing mostly to today, this conclusion paragraph of his mock really feels like the final, eerie voicemail left by somebody who immediately thereafter drove a speeding car into a bridge abutment and their loved ones hear their voice post-humiously... haha. Anyway, check out the quote: The draft is always a crap shoot and it is more important than ever for the Bills. A bad draft this year can set the club back a few years at least. History may be on the Bills side though, they are perhaps the best drafting team in the league. Last season 17 of 22 starters were draft picks and that is with the club having the lowest average drafting position of any team in the 90's. So sit back and watch the draft with confidence and look for all the updates on the future stars of the Bills right here at Bills Daily all weekend long. This isn't meant as a shot at Steve for not correctly for not being able to tell the future; who could have known that a team that was once good at something would all of the sudden become one of the worst at something. It was just meant as a window back to the non-defeatisim mentality that we Bills fans used to have, where we assumed that left unattended, the front office would just make good choices, not poor ones. Btw, just thinking now, wasn't big bad Ralph involved in these 90's drafts that were so good, just as he was involved in these 2000's drafts that... well... weren't? Or did Polian/Butler have some sort of autonomy on the decision-making that later GM's have not been afforded?

Ha... Ha... Ha... Yes your all very funny. I'm sure you know what the OP meant though.

I'm (and I'm sure many others are) hoping that he chooses to sign with the bills, but I'm thinking there are probably a couple of other teams he would have a better chance to crack a carries rotation and by the end of next season get himself 100 carries or so (if there is a season...).

I believe anybody who gets cut from their team is placed on waivers and if signed can only be placed on the new team's 53 man roster, so practice squad for a new team would be an option... i could be wrong though. If I am, correct me.

What does the metric system have anything to do with anything? Or were you just tryin to wow everyone with your knowledge that you know they use the metric system in canada?

Tim, Do you have any info on the Chan Gailey rumors? Is it a "done deal", or is it just the next "the bills have found their guy", because we've heard that once a week for the last 3 weeks. Also, can you confirm or deny that the only reason why the Bills MIGHT BE hiring him is because Ralph Wilson has a coupon for him?

The Don Beebe reference reminds me of an article I stumbled across, that I've been meaning to post on here. Don Beebe meets Leon Lett This was a pretty interesting on the back-story on both of these players, and I always remember Don stripping Lett as the instant I became a Bills fan. I was 6 at the time and just remember thinking "wow, these guys are getting beaten badly and they're still not quitting..." Anyways, check out the link, good story.

My biggest problem with the Madden games are during franchise mode, whenever I simulate any games, whether it's a couple or a whole season, my RB2 NEVER gets any stats. Maybe I'm doing something wrong (if so PLEASE tell me what) but I can adjust the RB1 <--|---> RB2 workload meter anywhere from 50/50 to 90/10, but it doesn't matter for simulations. I hope they change this, or if anybody knows if I'm not doing something right, please let me know!
