good thing there's no booze or strip clubs in canada

right, unlike Marcel Dareus, Brady is a consummate pro who practices continual self improvement. clearly it's part of the culture with the pats

sort of like making a law that the sun rises in the east. it's gonna weather you write a law or not, and the bills don't need brady's help to stay out of the playoffs

It's dumb to compare players across eras for any number of reasons, but something tells me Brady would be just fine if you plunked him back to 1992. First off, he'd probably be the biggest QB in the league, what is he like 6'5", and a big guy who, as he proved last night, can take a hit.

Yeah and the very idea of Romo behind center just makes me want to not bother watching the Bills. It's Tyrod or Bust this year

i didn't realize it was sarcastic, but I did look at who posted it and thought to myself "this isnt one of the normal counter-factual reprobates that loves to be contrarian for contrarianism's sake"

was thinking same. also, pats arent going to lose to atlanta

Agreed, it's actually better for a team to have bad players and coaching, it helps them prepare for the really hard games. in fact, i'd rather they only won a single game each year or decade, but they win it against all odds so we can all bask in the glory

so what you're saying is.... teams with great QBs are more successful? that's a pretty spicy take there

The worst is we waste a draftpick on a QB that doesn't pan out, which would be horrible to a degree heretofore unimaginable in the pristine halls of twobillsdrive. Oh hang on a sec, we've already seen that movie what, 10 times? The best is that we end up with a great QB who leads us back to the promised land and does his uncle proud. The middle path is, he becomes an adequate starting QB in the NFL.

I think it's been pointed out a couple times already, but Jim Kelly was hardly a model teammate or human being when he was Chad's age. I mean, we probably don't know half of the stuff he got up to because there was no social media in 1983. He did grow up though, and turned into the man and QB that we all look up to now. Honestly, some of the moralizing and judgmental things people are saying about Chad makes me wonder what kind of people you are. I hope at least you have a comfortable couch to faint on every time you find out a 20 year old young man does something stupid. It was also pointed out, and bears repeating, that Jim would likely take a direct and meaningful role in Chad's development, and maybe even accelerate his personal maturation process. That's an ace in the hole most guys like Chad don't have. I have no idea if CK would be a successful NFL QB, but for people here to shout down the very notion of it seems pretty dumb, especially when you look at the alternatives. CK played some fantastic ball in a very hard conference, and twice made a really good Alabama D look foolish.

I tend to be a glass half full guy, what if in addition to throwing some more interceptions, the new qb also leads some 4th qtr comebacks? or throws for 300 yards every now and again rather than once every 30 games

agreed on the bolded part, that's an inexperienced QB playing against an experienced D, but that can absolutely be corrected

I'd be ok with that, assuming he works hard in the offseason, and has a solid preseason. I'd also be ok with bringing in a competent vet, and have them platoon until CJ is ready, a la Don Strock/Dan Marino

This isn't complicated. Good teams win close games, bad teams lose close games. The Bills lose close games more often then not, ergo are a bad team. Having an anemic passing game makes it hard to score quickly. A dominant run game is great, as long as you can take and hold a lead, much less useful for comebacks. I don't know the answer though, clearly Tryhard is our best QB in a while, but only good enough for the 30th best passing O

Evidence points to yes, in fact, this is he curse of Flutie. It's like the curse of the Bambino, it'll be like another 80 years before the Bills get into the playoffs

I saw enough out of Cardale today to see some promise but not enough yet to let go of Tryhard. Keep TT, see if he'll renegotiate a bit, continue to develop CJ

I like that analogy. Everyone KNEW the pats were going to roll the giants, all right thinking people agreed!

It seems to me that Watkins is the best (most talented?) player on this team, but probably not entirely critical to it's W/L record because the 2016 Buffalo Bills are pre-modern era football team, where the forward pass is considered an exotic and not to be trusted innovation

"you! ragland! I thought I told you the MLB's job was to run around in circles doing jazzhands! Do as I say!"

Yes and your dear abuela was going to do anything other than continue to line her own pockets by selling influence. Did you ever wonder how a career civil servant came to be worth $300 million?

Like any other president, they should be judged by their actions, not words. If he owned the Bills, i'd expect plenty of bombast, but also the appointment of competent executives, which is another way of saying Russ Brandon would have to go back to his previous position of toilet seat sanitizer

Yes, the example you gave is exactly the same as Theoretical Bills Owner Trump moving the Bills from Buffalo, after he spent the entire election campaign bemoaning the abandonment of the rust belt. What color is the sky on your planet?

You must know him personally, and have decided that his focus will not shift when the currency in which he is now dealing is not measured in dollars Actually, it's the other candidate and her supporters who are claiming to have "won" by a set of rules other than those that we've operated under for 200+ years, and being tremendous crybabies in the process. Also, it's funny acting like Bills fans, on this very board, on this very day, don't make ridiculous claims about statistical victories versus the more traditional scoreboard varieties. I thought we reached peak "moral victory" under Jauron but i guess not

I'm glad for the Peglulas as well, which I already stated in this very thread. What I'm contesting is the idea that Donald Trump, owner of the Buffalo Bills and President of the United States, would move the Bills from Buffalo. It makes basically zero sense politically and would work in direct opposition to the political image he's cultivating. He doesn't make that sort of mistake (and lol@you forever if you think him pissing off the fainting couch left wasnt 100% intended), but would be more likely to make the Bills a showcase, another bragging point for him. If you don't see that then you don't know much about him or how he's going to govern
