As long as it isn't against the Bills, right? Because those two games next year, SJ can suck it. Right?

I'd offer a 5th for a guy who is going to be 34 this year. That's hella old for an NFL player, especially coming off an injury.

I'm sure they do, but I bet they don't pay it too much mind. A fan's perception of the game is important to the team, but relatively speaking most of us don't know anything about the game (I'm at the top of the clueless list, btw.) So I highly doubt either of them spend too much time here. I would guess some players spend a bit more time, but not much. I think of it this way - how much does the average person know about your profession? In my case, the average person off the street knows nothing about the details of what I do, and talking to them or reading what a non-expert writes about it would be really, really annoying. Probably the case with Brandon and Whaley.

Isn't he a little old?

He's a way better athlete than someone like Chandler. He has better balance and leaping ability. He plays like a WR and can run the ball out of the backfield. He gives options, which we don't really have at that position.

It is pretty clear to me they are setting up the roster so they can go with Best Player Available in the draft, and not worry about position. Drafting for need (other than QB) is the worst thing you can do. See: Aaron Maybin, etc.

Really? You posted this as a possibility? You can't renig on a trade, dude. And also, cutler is a douche.

Be careful what you wish for. Walker - the guy before him - is a dolphins fan, and was even worse. The guy outwardly hated on the Bills for no reason. Well, there was some reason, but he seemed to revel in pissing off the fans of the team that he covered.

I would love to hear a better idea at QB that will make us feel better. Anyone have one? There's basically ZERO QBs of quality in FA. There's nobody to trade for, and there's only two in the draft, and even they are destined to be backups.

I know what you mean, and agree somewhat, but Ii guess my point is a 40 time isn't a good measure up of useful speed. But I know what you are getting at.

The combine is overrated. A 40 time is such a small part of judging players, it is hardly worth considering.

Maybe if he was 30, but no. He's 35. That would be moronic. I'd give a 3rd round pick for him, that could turn into a 1st if we go to the SB.

No way. They wouldn't even get the pick they paid for him back. Unless you are Jerry Sullivan, who thinks he should be cut.

Really? No mention of LBs? No mention of WRs? No mention of Gilmore? The defense was nasty - one of the best in the NFL. There's no way that should have landed them at 24. Not sure why commenting on such idiocy, but I guess I did anyway!

The guy has always been an ass. I'm not sure you can change a personality trait like that, no matter what punishment he's had. He been cut multiple times for his behavior. I hate having players like that on the Bills. That said, I bet he's on a short leash. Any BS and he's gone. And our guards were sofa king bad last year, I'd say we are definitely at the point of desperation.

The day he quit and showed his true quitter colors. Bills fans obviously don't quit, and neither should players or coaches. He clearly didn't have what it takes to be a buffalo bill. Screw him. Talk to Don Bebee about what it means not to friggin' quit.

Maybe she's got a good personality.

I read the GM and the advisor (casselry?) liked him, but Woody Johnson didn't want to do it. If I was to speculate, it is because nobody trusts a quitter.

The risk is using a 5th round pick on a moron, when we could use the pick on someone who might actually be useful. JFF is a douche, he doesn't prepare despite warnings, and he sucks. He's Ryan leaf with less talent.

I don't actually know how the substitution rule is written, but if you think of it in terms of players switching positions without much notice, it is a substitution. When a WR lines up as a OL, then decides he's a WR again, with someone outside of him becoming a OL, it is a substitution.

The problem here is that players switching positions on the field is actually a substitution. And when the offense substitutes, the defense should be able to substitute. It isn't cheating according to the rules, but it is actually a position substitution when you think about it. It needs to be addressed.

No, for chrissake, this is not the same thing as friggin holding. If someone needs to explain to you the difference, than your thread isn't worth my time.

Most definitely not overblown. There are rules. They are there for a reason, and therefore should be followed. If players and coaches felt that a rule was stupid, they could petition to get it changed, while following the current rules. That's the way rules work. Follow them, but petition to get them changed if you don't like them. Doing anything else is cheating. Cheating is not right, and there's no way that breaking a rule can be misconstrued as OK for the sake of the game. I'm actually surprised that my fellow Bills fans would display anything BUT a respect for the rules. Disappointed, really.

Man, I loathe cheating. It disrespects the game. Based on history of cheating (not to mention the stuff the NFL knows about but has done nothing on), Belichick should be suspended. They won't do it before the SB because it makes too much money, but given what New Orleans got, the cheater should get at least 8 games.

I didn't think I could hate Sullivan more than I did. The guy just got here, and he's already trying to find the negative angle. Seriously, when did beenig an assh0le become good journalism? Really? You agree with that no talent assclown? What he does goes beyond objective criticism. He seeks out a negative angle. That, my friend, is crappy journalism. It is what you are taught NOT to do in journalism school. If you've got a guy that tries to find a negative angle before a guy has even set up his office, there is a problem. Reconsider your Sullivan worship. He's a prick, and his articles are worthless.
