Inside you're burnin', I can see clear through
Your eyes tell more than you mean them to
Lit up and flashin' like the reds and blues
Out there on the neon avenueBut I, feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger)

Well, Jaxon Dart is a fine, promising young quarterback. Maybe McDermott is in town to find him a few cornerbacks to help him out.

I am now fully retired. I witnessed many unspeakable horrors when I was working. I have nightmares at the very least five nights per week. Some nights I have multiple nightmares. Usually I am back at work and getting in trouble for minor offenses. I often seem to lose the keys to my car in these when I'm responding to an emergency. My internist that I have been seeing for more than 30 years called these dreams "stress dreams." I believe him. Others in my profession that I speak to are also haunted by these dreams. I'm not complaining, in that I know people who had worse experiences than me, and mine were pretty awful.
My solution? I now view these dreams as sort of another life. They really don't bother me anymore, other than the very rare ones that are horrible. I wake up and realize that I'm fine, and thank God for another day. I root for the Buffalo Bills and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide (who I was lucky enough to go see, and want to go again). I listen to GREAT music like The Grateful Dead, Steely Dan, Grunge, and so much more. I walk as much as possible on my arthritic knee. I enjoy time with my great, beautiful wife and go to lunch with my daughters twice per week. Church is a great release for me. I grow vegetables.
If I appear grumpy on this board, that is misleading. I am happy and appreciate every day. I'm by no means rich but I have no debt, no longer have to work, and appreciate each day. Every day I read something in the paper that could infuriate me but there is little to nothing I can do about it and have come to the conclusion that if I allow myself to get angry it is MY fault.
I wish every person on this thread happiness and success at minimizing their stress

The worst is Peterman, without question. I said in a thread long before the Bills drafted him he had zero of the qualities you need to be an NFL Quarterback. Then they picked him.... ffs.
If people want to argue that EJ was a worse return on investment, sure. He was not a worse Quarterback though. Peterman absolutely stunk.
Peterman tried. But he had zero and I do mean zero ability to justify being an NFL Quarterback. He should have been undrafted and undraftable out of college. You'd have been better putting a dog at quarterback.
Yeah, I mean who needs Mahomes when you can have Peterman and a cornerback!!! Ya can't blame that debacle on Beane. Nope, that was all thanks to Coach McCorner. 😁🙄

Unlike Doug Flutie, he left the field with a lead in a playoff game. All we had to do was cover a kickoff.
True.

I would say the comment was just more of a reflection of the content of the quoted post. But maybe that's just me.
Perhaps. And perhaps the thread should be moved to PPP, but that is not up to me.
I received warning points twice for political posts. In retrospect, I deserved these warnings even though one of the posts was 100% meant as a joke. There is a cesspool on this site called PPP. I stopped going there years ago. I venture to say that nobody ever changed their opinion on any topic, and there is no reason to get myself involved or upset with nonsensical drivel about things over which I have no control. My point is that TBD has a place for politically slanted remarks and this board is not it.
Of course this jmo.

Peterman is as worst Bills QB to play in the last 30 years as Josh Allen is the best Bills QB to play in the last 30 years
I don't think that you are wrong. I however voted for Hobert because at least Peterman tried.

Why do we have to get political here? This is a Bills website, not Fox News.
I'm not a Dem or Republican, but I can dig out lots of anecdotal stats and facts to make either side look like fiscal incompetents.But I'd rather talk about football and, better yet, the things that unite us - like our love for the Bills - than the things that divide us.
Go Bills!
I agree. This board is no place for politics. I do however note that you mentioned Fox News, and omitted MSNBC and/or CNN. That at least appears to be a way to sneak in your political leanings, no?

It’s EJ by a mile. He’s the worst pick this team has made in my lifetime all
things considered. His best games ever were his first two. He only got worse.
If we are not only discussing QBs, I must respectfully disagree. The 2006 draft was loaded with good players at positions of need for the Bills. Levy said that he rejected multiple offers to trade down. Instead, he drafted Lil Donte Whitner at #8. Donte wouldn't have been a bad pick as third or fourth round selection, but to draft him at #8 was the definition of stupidity, and the hallmark of the Levy/Jauron era.

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch
Yeah, and I saiddoes anybody really know what time it is?
(Care) does anybody really care?
(About time) you know, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to cry -

I would say Milano and Dawkins were more McDermott than Whaley. It's kinda hard to convince me after all of the trash drafts Whaley had during his tenure that he somehow just magically hits on Tre White, Dawkins and Milano all in McDermott very first draft and then gets fired the next day. I think that was a McDermott draft and Whaley was there by name only
Tre White wasn't a hit. McDermott gave Mahomes to the Chiefs in that draft.

I would be vehemently against this. One major injury to Jefferson and we are in trouble for years.

Oh seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right, oh yeah
Open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let love come running in, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time -
Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up at heaven
At this crescent in the sky, in the sky -
I am going with Flutie because some folks (including me lol) thought that RJ was the better choice. I was sold on RJ's skillset. He had a great arm, was big, and accurate. I really expected him to be great.
Once I was in the parking lot of RWS drinking beer at a tailgate with the great @Bob Lamb. I asked Bob why he didn't like RJ. His answer was "because he sucks." He saw this before I did but I was not alone. Bob's reply did stick with me.
In any event, Flutie was part of a qb controversy, and his personality was not all that great. Didn't he schedule a gig with his band when we were alive in the playoffs? My podiatrist went to Boston College with Flutie and said he was not a popular person fwiw.

This is shocking news. By all accounts he was a great kid at Alabama. Saban loved him. At one point he was living in a car with his father and siblings in some Oklahoma ghetto. Josh was only a three star who only made the Alabama team when another player fell through at the last minute. I heard him in numerous interviews and always sensed that he was a great kid. He was said to have worked as hard as any Alabama player. I believe this because he was never even actually their #1 RB. Seriously.
I don't, and will not excuse him from blame if he is guilty of any of those charges. The whole thing saddens me and I hope that the victim is OK and Josh can get himself together.

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole, drunk every Friday
Eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows
They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadowsWell, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me,I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree -
I had a run-in
Run around and run down
Run around a corner, corner
A run smack into a treeI had to move, really had to move
That's why, if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore -
Reuben Brown - LB - Alabama
He was one of the toughest, most vicious players I have ever seen. I think that he could have been an all pro, but he had some issues. Here is just one sample of how hard he hit people. Leonard Fournette was a tough guy, no?

And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say, "Come dance with me"
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen -

I'm taking Bowers over anyone if given my pick. Maybe Gronk feels a kinship to guys like Kittle and Kincaid since he also struggled with injuries.
If Bowers can stay healthy he has a chance of being just as great as Gronk.

When I was just a young man I was barely seventeen
I went out to Hollywood chasing my dreams
Dusty Oklahoma was all I'd ever seen
And I was getting olderMemories of the Greyhound fade and quickly pass
The lonely restroom windows, the empty hourglass
Reflect the human hunger of the questions I never asked
I only had my time for spending

Some girls like to run around,
like to handle everything they see
But my girl has more fun around
and you know she'd rather be with me
Me-oh my, lucky guy is what I am
Tell you why you'll understand
She don't fly although she can
