  1. Since the braintrust will be at OBD who do the Bills send to NY. Also why are all the teams decision makers required to attend in person? Woulnt it be great TV to see the wheeling and dealing live?

    The decision makers usually are at their respective stadiums. The people in NY are sometime equipment people or office assistants. Not really top people.

  2. I do wonder why it's taking so long for this to happen. It might be because of the draft but if it's not done within a few weeks after then I'm not going to be as hopeful as I'd like. It seems like when the negotiations drag on with our players we end up losing them more than retaining them. I guess we'll have to wait and see on this one.

    Maybe Evans is the reason it is taking so long. Maybe he is not in a hurry to re-sign.

  3. Totally agree. Who are you going to replace him with? Why trade him and get someone of questionable or less value. I feel we keep him this year and see what happens with both him and Edwards. last time I looked, the Bills 'O" was 31st in the league. edwards also still has to prove himself, although I think he will. Time will tell...

    and JP is not questionable?

  4. As a further thought, why does it seem that the truly good tight ends are as rare as hen's teeth? There are many WRs, RBs, CBs, OL, DL in the league, but fewer TEs that are difference makers, especially in the Winslow Sr./McKeller (pre-injury) pass threat style. Gonzales is one today along with Gates.

     

    It seems that we don't see as many excellent TE prospects come along compared to excellent prospects at other positions.

     

    Discuss?

     

    Edit: And I mean this to be league wide, not just the Bills.

    They all go to the NBA - More money and less chance of getting hurt.

  5. When did NC clone himself to play all four defensive secondary positions. We've established that a secondary relies heavily on the pass rush. Last I checked SF didn't have much of that either.

     

    It'll start a whole new brouhaha, but franchising Clements in 06 was step 1 into keeping him long term. I can't recall the last player who received the franchise tag and subsequently did their one year and went to another team.

     

    This is about long term strategy, not short term thinking. No one's saying that what SF paid NC is what he's worth. Obviously, SF leads the league in money spent AND bad season records. So universally saying NC was an 80M dollar players (when he's probably only going to see 64M) is simple simon thinking.

     

    If the Bills draft a CB in round 1, it's the closest they'll come to admitting it was a mistake to franchise NC for no reason back in 06.

    Only $64M - How nice - So when can the bills draft a corner? They signed 2 O-Linemen last year. Is it ok to draft any this year?

  6. Agreed , but in his last 5 seasons with KC( not counting last year) he averaged over 900yds and 5 TD every year.

    Lets see ,do we have a number 2 WR with those kind of numbers? Oh yeh, we don't even have a #1 with those stats.

    Players are also products of the system. I recall Evans having numbers better than that the previous season.

  7. He's been acting like such a big baby lately. No one put a gun to his head when he signed his extension. There are always malcontents because salaries keep going up. Just shut up and play. Tell the team privately that you're upset and want more money, but that you will still play. Have a good attitude and don't be a distraction. The team must come first. That's the blueprint for success.

     

    Bad example because I hate the Pats, but they are consistently one of the better teams because the team comes first, if you gripe, you get traded. See Dion Branch.

    You make good points, but most of these guys couldn't care less about the team. It is all about getting the most money they can regardless of anything else.
