    It is good to invest in core talent before you have your franchise QB however, that Qb better come sometime soon else all these contracts start expiring by the time one is found. 

    In the case of Wilson, he was entering his fourth year in the NFL and the Jets could have picked up his 5th year option. Which means they have added two effective years to how long he will be a Jet. I think we all agree that the Jets do not have that franchise QB right now. If they pick one high in the draft in the next two years, only two years remain on Wilson's contract. Take the example of Ben Roethlisberger - when the Steelers picked him, the team was loaded with talent and he was able to excel and win a SB very early in his career. This move for the Jets makes sense if they eventually land their QB in the next draft. All that to say that they should have waited till next offseason to extend Wilson.

    Improve : Im sticking with my pick from last year. O'Cyrus Torrence will look much better this year.  Honorable mention Curtis Samuel - when healthy late last year he was an effective WR downfield not just on WR bubble screens

     

    Regress: Taron Johnson. I thought he slipped last year and I'm afraid he may be showing age/wear and tear.   Honorable mention Bernard. I hate small linebackers. He wasn't nearly as good last year as the prior. I could see his body breaking down. Hope I'm wrong or that contract becomes a massive albatross 

    Improved: In my mind, it is a toss up between Kincaid and Coleman

    Regress: I agree with your choice of Taron

    If that’s hot, you are sporting some serious beer goggles. 

    My wife thinks Mahomes is way "cuter" than Josh.

     

     

    While I want to, how can I possibly say she has terrible taste in men?

    Have a great 4th of July stay safe eat well and above all go bills.

     

    I will be on the boat and jet skiing with friends.

    Happy Independence Day. 

     

    A funny incident. I had to tell one of our UK customers this week that we couldn't schedule a team meeting on Friday because of .... err.... independence day.

    There's actually a bunch of us who joined on that exact date (or used to be; many have moved on).

    I think it was the first day that SDS had completed all his prep and made the new site available.

    I could be wrong but I think that SDS is the only person that actually has a join date prior to September 5, 2001 and he's only a few days earlier.

    We be OGs, homey. :flirt:

    Are you talking about the new site circa 2001? I bet there are many who were members of the old site, and hence can be considered "founding members".

    Sitting here in the dead of night I have came to the realization that I have been on this website for over 8 years 

     

    Plenty of times on the road this website keeps me occupied talking with Bills fans which is more than I could ever ask for 

     

    Thanks to All of the moderators and site owner

     

    @AiO @R. Rich@SDS@Nervous Guy @Simon @Canadian Bills Fan 

     

    And this is easily the best NFL message board in the country thanks to all the bills fans here... Too many to count and name 

     

    Just wanted to say thank you and go bills

     

    Definitely a fantastic message board and a lot of it due to enforcing of the rules and knowledgeable contributors. 27 years and counting for me. I have learned a LOT from the posts. 

     

    You are one of the good additions over the years.

    degenerate gambling or drug addict. Poor business's decisions

     

    3 off the top of my head

    I understand. My question was rhetorical. Its a collection of really poor decisions and a weak support system to save him from himself. 

    Unfortunately not the first athlete to throw away that amount of wealth. And he wont be the last

    Yea. In the WCO the play call is more defined for the receivers. If your QB is a general the EP is better for you. If your QB is a paint by numbers guy run the WCO.

    Basically, Allen and Purdy

    Sorry. It’s a guaranteed victory or they never win one in your lifetime. 

    In which case, the price goes up. $500k sounds like the breakeven deal number to me. 

    But boy it is a tough question you asked. 

    Let's say I chose the money, and 30 years later I am on my death bed. What will I feel? My guess is that I will think at the time that I was a fan for 64 years and my team has no ring to show for it, wasted a generational QBs talents and put my emotions though the wringer year after year with no payback. At that point, before death, I will regret having chosen the $500k.

    He just continues to do and say all the right things this offseason.  Will it translate on the field, we will have to wait and see, but from what is coming out it sure sounds like it already is early, which is an encouraging sign as well.  

    Self awareness and acceptance is the first step towards an improvement. Kid has a good head on his shoulders. Apparently he is also putting in the offseason work. 

    That's the best he can do till the pads come on. How can one not root for his success?

    Just saw a list of the QBs who had the most starts for each team in 2017.  How many can you name (without cheating)?  Name the player and team.

     

    Miami:  Jay Cutler

    This made me concerned about my memory.

    On WGR this morning, they started talking about what tattoo you'd be willing to get if it guaranteed the Bills won the Super Bowl. Here were a few of the options:

     

    -Tom Brady with all of his rings

    -A Chiefs logo

    -Travis Kelce

     

    How far would you be willing to go?

    Is WGR so badly out of topics to talk about ?
