Nix: Patience fans, patience (sorry, no Jay Rosen quotes)
KOKBILLS replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Exactly...Unfortunately Bills Fans were hoping Nix, the veteran scout, was not going to need much on-the-job-training...Tough lesson for us all to learn I guess... -
Don't Look Now, but Mario Williams 8th in NFL in sacks...
KOKBILLS replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed...Some of the continued Mario hate around here is a joke...Do these people actually watch the freaking games?... -

Ahhh...OK...Sorry about that...When using sarcasm here try this little guy... That's what I do... -
I truly feel horrible for Ryan Fitzpatrick.
KOKBILLS replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No he's not...Smith is taller, better arm, better scrambler, more talented overall than Fitz by a good bit...He's a former #1 overall pick... I'm not advocating going out and getting Smith either...But lets not make ridiculous statements here...Smith would most definitely be an upgrade to Fitz... -
"Building the Franchise the right way"
KOKBILLS replied to KeisterHollow's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So...The fact that he seemingly just realized this, in his 3rd year as GM, when the only real QB he had was Fitz...That does not bother you at all? -

No way...Manning would turn this Offense around in a heartbeat...You think the Broncos have THAT much better talent on Offense? Especially at RB? Manning would have this Offense in the top 5 in the NFL...Chan's job would be SO much easier with Manning it's not even a fair comparison... -
"Building the Franchise the right way"
KOKBILLS replied to KeisterHollow's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Really? You're using fans in a VERY general way here...For example, I'm a fan of over 40 years...And I've been screaming about the need at QB since...well...it seems like forever...I know there are quite a few right here at TBD who have done the same...Nix has Drafted ONE QB...In the 7th freaking Round in three years...On top of that he has brought in a few has-beens, or never-beens to compete with Fitz...Or more likely he brought those QB's in so there would be no-doubt Fitz would be the guy...So...No way I can agree with that statement...The Bills have done well to keep their own in the Nix era, I'll give you that much...But I can't back Nix as far as the Draft goes because he has not addressed the #1 Need on this Team IMHO...And for me at least, the Draft is #2 way I'm going to evaluate Nix...The #1 way I'm evaluating him is the way he over-valued Fitz, and under-valued QB's that he could have Drafted over the past 2 years at the very least...I don't think Buddy Nix is a good GM...I think he's over-rated by some Bills Fans...I think the rest of the league knows he's not that good...Good Scout, bad GM... -
This is EXACTLY correct...I was thinking about this earlier... Granted you have the Gabbert/Henne situation in J-Ville...Cassel/Quinn in KC...Sanchise/Tebow in NY...Kolb/Skelton in AZ...Then what? I think Palmer would be better in this Bills Offense than Fitz is, even though I'm not the biggest Carson Palmer Fan in the world...We'll call that one a push...The rest of the Teams either have established Vets that are better than Fitz, young Franchise QB's that are already better than Fitz, or young guys with bigger upside and bigger arms than Fitz...So basically Fitz could probably start for 4, maybe 5 other NFL Teams...That's it...And that is exactly how to determine his actual worth...Sure he's worth more to The Bills now...Seeing as though they paid him and he knows the Offense...But when you can say with a bit of confidence that he could not go to say Tennessee and win a Starting job...You know what the guys true value is...And it's NOT high...At all...

And who better to string up than an average QB who is leading us nowhere... And I would like to add that I'm happy to see so many Fitz backers take great solace in the fact that Fitz is a better QB than Charlie Batch...Which he is by the way...Talk about shooting for the stars!!!

Good points all... And what did Washington and Seattle do to assure these turnarounds?...They addressed the QB position...Not once mind you...But at least twice...Seattle signed Flynn, and Drafted Wilson...Washington traded up to Draft RGIII, then still took Cousins in the same Draft...These are two Franchises that understand, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the QB Position has to be addressed when you're not-good-enough there...Do you think for a second that Shanahan, or Carroll would basically stand pat if all they had was Fitz? I still point the finger at Buddy mainly...How he could just sit back and expect Fitz to lead this Team to the Playoffs is just beyond my comprehension...It's his job to know better...And instead he over-valued Fitz, and under-valued potential Draft picks like Dalton, Kaepernick, Wilson, etc...I really don't give a darn what anybody thinks...Of all the over-rated components of this Franchise, IMHO Nix is the most over-rated...He's in WAY over his head...

Yawn... This attitude will certainly help Brandon move that inventory he's always talking about...Winning games though? Going to the Playoffs? Not so much...

Why you don't hope to win meaningless games:
KOKBILLS replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think The Bills can beat Seattle, or Miami on the road...They're just too inconsistent, and the injuries are piling up now...We'll see though, you're probably right... -

[I suggest a trade for] Alex Smith

I would just about kill for Geno Smith to come to Buffalo...So... -

KOKBILLS replied to djsabres's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I certainly would not want The Bills to give up a 2nd round pick for Smith...But...I don't know...A 3rd and maybe another pick? A desperate team could pay more, but who is that desperate? We'll see I guess... -

KOKBILLS replied to djsabres's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great question...I'm guessing they ask for a 2nd, and settle for a conditional 3rd...But it could be more...Hard to say...Real hard now that I'm thinking about it...
