Travis Henry holding up trade to Arizona
Albany,n.y. replied to OnTheRocks's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't understand Travis Henry's position on a long term deal unless he has 0 confidence in his ability. Being traded to Arizona with only one year left would be a dream if the guy had 1/2 a brain. Why would any player want a long term deal with one of the league's worst franchises, when as an alternative, he plays one year there, showcases himself & gets better $ with a better franchise. Either Travis is flat broke again & is looking for the quick fix that the multi-year contract's signing bonus would provide, he thinks he's going to get injured again &/or suck this season, or he just is clueless. He can spend one year with Arizona & be in line for a windfall in 1 year-his market value for a contract is a lot lower today than it would be with a good season. I really thought that it would be Arizona, looking to protect its interests, looking for the long term deal & not the other way around. Travis Henry & his agent's stupidity continues to amaze. -
Chance of a lifetime (draft)

We already had Art Schlichter in camp 19 years ago. Just say no. -
Interesting question for football freaks!
Albany,n.y. replied to JP-era's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think there's a huge difference between 13-3 & 3-13. 3-13 means you probably have a hole at QB & some other key positions. (Unless you started a true rookie QB & he's ready to improve dramatically) 13-3 means you're pretty close, assuming you don't have major FA losses upcomming, you go for veterans via FA to get you over the top. At 3-13 you're drafting a QB if a top prospect is there at the top of the draft and trying to make a lot of moves that will get you in contention within a couple of years. -
Per KFFL, Dolphins release Fiedler
Albany,n.y. replied to Bob in Mich's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Fiedler doesn't end up with his 1st choice, his hometown Jets, I wouldn't mind having him as a backup to JP if the price is right. It's not like he's going to be the starter & I think he wants to coach when he stops playing, so he'd be a good soldier & mentor to JP. -
Here's a list. I've also read that Mike Tice, coach of the Vikings is Jewish but he was not included on this list. http://www.jewishsports.com/jewsin/nfl.htm

Doesn't McNair to the Cowboys
Albany,n.y. replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It makes no sense because McNair will either be a Titan or retired. He's not among Tennessee's upcomming cuts & he's more likely to hang it up on his own than be cut. -
I took the comments as more like a guy who is the boss one day & asked to take a demotion so the kid who recently joined the company can be his boss. Like-I don't want to be managed by X, I was his boss when he came here. I'd rather manage elsewhere than work here as a peon.

9.17 Million Dollar Cap Hit For Mike Williams...
Albany,n.y. replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Your chart as of 1/14/05 says MW is a $5,896,875 cap hit for 05. Which info is correct? -
what about chris chandler as a backup?
Albany,n.y. replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Chandler was an embarrassment this year when he played, NO!!! Mark me down in the Fiedler vote. -
(OT) How many TSWers watch Arena football?
Albany,n.y. replied to envirojeff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When they had the Albany Firebirds I used to go to games, more in the beginning and finally I was down to 1 a year (against the Buffalo Destroyers) when they left for Indianapolis (& then folded). I went to the most games during the Bills Super Bowl years, so every year I'd go to the Super Bowl & my next "pro" football game was Arenaball. -
I promise to be patient with JP
Albany,n.y. replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Absolutely correct! I never seen a stat that said "12 year veteran made bad decisions that even a rookie wouldn't have made" It's amazing how much different a player can look on the field from what his stats are. Just look up RJ. -
Here are some details: He's from Arizona & has NY/NJ real estate guys as his partners (I wonder if The Donald is one of them) http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor..._len&id=1991023

Losman bashers are literally clueless

It seems like Donahoe is pencilling in Losman as
Albany,n.y. replied to Grant's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm sure the decision was made with the approval of if not the demands of Mularchy, Wyche, Clements & probably Ralph as well. This is not the Baltimore Colts where they make QB decisions at the top without notifying the people it will have the most impact on (see as the NY Post called it "Grand Theft Elway") -
It takes a lot of time to compile them & I've already spent too much of today on the internet, so here are the QBs that were available. I'll look at other positions in about a week or 2, I'm going to be too busy this week. Once the combine is over, I should be able to have all the combine Wonderlics. The source is the SportsXchange premium draft site. A. Smith 37 Frye 28 Campbell 14 Orton 25 Walter 24 Orlovsky 21 Anderson 15 Fitzpatrick 37 Greene 21 Rix 22 Allen 18 Lefors 26 J. White 31 Nothing earth shattering here, interesting that only 1 player, Harvard's Ryan Fitzpatrick, was able to get through all 50 questions in the time given.

You can't base where a guy would have been drafted by how his career went. Based on that logic, Ryan Leaf would not have been drafted with the second pick of the draft-but he was and you can't revise his draft status because he was a bust. Same thing for guys like Akili Smith, Heath Schuler, Todd Marinovich, Cade McNown, David Klingler, Andre Ware etc-all 1st round busts. For the record, Flutie was only cut by New England, that's hardly every NFL team! He was traded by the Rams to the Bears, who then traded him to NE. Ditka loved him but lost out when the decision to trade him was made. So although NE cut him and the rest of the NFL passed on signing him, he was never cut by every NFL team-not even cut by more than the 1 of 3 teams that owned his rights Pre-Canada.

OK, Get It Off Your Chest... Who Do You Blame
Albany,n.y. replied to Nanker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You lost me on Gilbride. Gilbride was Giants' QB coach, 1 year removed from the Bills, when Drew sealed his own fate against the Steelers' 2nd & 3rd stringers. If Drew had played as well against Pittsburgh as he did against the 49ers, there would be no imminent release to talk about. However, once the coaches, GM & Ralph saw that Drew couldn't put it together against a good scheme-regardless of what players the other team used, they knew that choosing JP (who they've seen & we haven't) would not be a large step backwards in the short run and possibly a huge upgrade in the long run. I predict that by next year at this time, you'll be a big JP supporter. You'll have to at least have his picture on the wall at your Super Bowl party-unless you go to the game wearing your JP jersey. -
You certainly know how to revise history to fit your argument. I'll stick to the facts instead. Fact: The NFL draft was held on April 30, 1985 but Bruce Smith had already signed with the Bills on February 28, 1985 because the Bills had the top pick in the 1985 draft. That means that they could not have drafted another player after 2/28/85. As far as the Flutie was concerned, he signed with the New Jersey Generals on February 4, 1985. So-Felser columns that you refer to were written before 2/4/85. The Bills had made it quite clear to Flutie that they were not interested in him & Trump had a take it or leave it offer on the table because the Generals' USFL season began on 2/24/85. Obviously, Felser would not have been writing to draft Flutie after he signed with the USFL & certainly not after Bruce Smith had signed with the Bills. The point you either don't understand or are trying to ignore is that you cannot use where he was drafted in the 1985 NFL draft and say he wouldn't have been taken by another team somewhere in the 1st or 2nd round. You have not one iota of evidence as of 2/4/85 to draw that conclusion.

Actually it does. Because the roster bonus is due a day before the trading date begins, in order for the Bills to trade him, they'd have to pay him the $1 million -which would be $1 million on our cap. They would have to get Drew to waive the bonus before the trade & one way or another they feel that a) Drew wouldn't waive the bonus so the Bills can trade him or b) assuming Drew doesn't want to waive the bonus, if the pick is too low then the $1 million cap saving is worth more than a lower round pick.
-
Felser had Gregg written off by the middle of 2002, said he'd never make it as Bills coach & we should dump him instead of bringing him back in 2003. I can cherrypick Felser's good ideas and make him look like a genius. As Labatt stated, Felser has written a lot of columns in the past 45 years that the Bills have been around.

"What if Bledsoe Had never gotten hurt?"
Albany,n.y. replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He should have stated this about the Bills, without Bledsoe we win 3 or 4 games at most in 2002. Palmer or Leftwich is our starter, we don't have McGahee because with AVP at QB in 2002 Price does not get traded for a #1 and we use our top 5 pick on a QB, Takeo doesn't sign with us, nor does Sam Adams. We end up with Lee Evans in 2004 but don't make the Losman trade and have a #1 pick this year-which we'd probably be using on a RB since TH would be entering his last contract year. -
You obviously don't get the point (AGAIN!) Flutie was not going to be a #1 overall NFL pick. On the other hand, where he was chosen in the NFL draft had nothing to do with how he was rated coming out of college, because he was already under contract in the USFL. So...by stating where Flutie was drafted to support your opinion, you lose all credibility and it looks like you are not aware of the circumstances involved in the 1985 NFL draft. Back in 1985, I had a pretty good feeling that Jim Kelly would soon be comming to Buffalo, so I was against drafting a QB with the first pick no matter who he was. I was never a fan of Flutie's but I respect Felser and value his opinions over someone who cherrypicks a few bad ones and bashes the guy.

For the record-the fake spike was against the Jets, I was at the game.
