I used to be FormerlyRJ, and 4everBills (Moderator couldnt manage to fix my account).
Despite what Todd says, I dont think anyone thinks putting JP in fixes all our problems. The problems are many heres the fix list:
JP starts over Drew- JP can run and can avoid sacks that Drew would take. As strong an arm and no one can claim we need Drews decision making anymore. Drew cut at the end of the year, frees up 5 mil or so. JP gets the rep and instantly adds excitement back in the QB position
McGahee over TH permanently- Travis's days are numbered. He has managed to look worse this year and McGahee keeps looking better! Travis traded for a 1st. Dont know if we get a 1st but heres to hoping.
O-line overhaul- Skipped out on Woody for Villarial. I like Chris but he is a second tier FA for a reason. Teague is overpaid. Big Mike stays because short of Jennings, hes the best T on this squad. Either we resign Jennings and take our chances or somehow trade for a annual franchised stud LT. Jones, Pace, Ogden I dont care get one of them. Use the money you saved on cutting Drew to rebuild you o-line. Problem is they are likely to be franchised again, and although I think its worth fessin 2-1sts we dont have them. No point in drafting one at the top of the 2nd or mid round 1st (Henry). Could easily be a bust. We might be best off sticking with Jennings. Need a stud C, and 1 other stud G. Get it done.
TE- Campbell is a backup for any other squad. Great spot to draft one with the 33rd pick. Or maybe 3rd round.
WR- Moulds is now a 2nd at best. Last week I said we have plenty of talent. Now Im not so sure. Moulds gets YAC and can SOMETIMES make the grab. Evans is the fastest WR, and has the best hands as well. Can someone get him the damn ball? Still think we need to sign another vet with some talent. Trade for a Patrick Johnson, Az Hakim, Jurevicious, McCardell, Jimmy Smith type and open the passing game up with some true talent. Im not sure Josh Reed doesnt need to be cut.
Defense- Move Vincent to FS NOW and start McGee. McGee is starting to impress me with his coverage skills. His speed is there, if he keeps working on his run stuffing he can be a great corner. CB is another spot to add from next years draft.
Thats it, dont fix it if it aint broke. Dont spend tons of cash on D when your O cant put any damn points on the board.
Coaching- I believe firmly that it will take a coach the likes of Parcells to kick this team into gear and get them over their losing ways. But, Mularkey has at least shown some life. I give him credit for playing McGahee over Henry today, benching Adams when Edwards played better, and opening up the offense. Too bad Drew screwed it all up so badly. Hopefully our new starter JP will do better!
Finally, I think we are all suffering from the Bills fan syndrome where we have seen crap for so long that it almost looks good. I think we all should watch just 1 game of another team with a winning record. I think we ALL would instantly have perspective on how we truly are short on playmakers who make plays. I am so sick and tired of watching the "todays leaders" tracker showing the same names every week and none of them are Bills! Time to demand better! Time to unite and demand big name players be put on this squad or started from the bench.
Let the Losman, Evans, McGahee trifecta BEGIN!!!!!!!
