KOKBILLS

Some of the stuff I read on this Board makes me wonder if a few of you actually watch Football, or if you simply just form your opinions based on what others say... Concerning Braylon Edwards...First off...Yes he had issues with drops early in career...But in 2010 he had the 12th best drop % among NFL WR's...ahead of Andre Johnson, WAY ahead of his then-teammate Santonio Holmes, and a bunch of other great NFL WR's...He only dropped 4 of 66 catch-able Balls according to Pro Football Focus...And that was with that hack Sanchez throwing him the Ball...When the Jets needed a big play in The Playoffs vs. The Colts in 2010 they went to Edwards for the jump ball, and he made a nice catch while controlling his body and getting two feet in bounds...He's no where near a hands-of-stone WR like some of you claim...No where near... Take away the 2 Seasons Edwards basically lost to injury and he's averaged 53 receptions, 833 yds, and 6.5 TD's per year...He's miles ahead of any Bills WR that is not named Stevie Johnson, he's only 29 years old, and he'll come relatively cheap...This is the exact type of move this Bills Team can and will make in Free Agency...And Edwards career average would be a MAJOR upgrade at the #2 WR Position in Buffalo...You'll get a WR determined to show the league he's still viable...A WR who has a ton of talent at a bargain rate...I just don't see the downside whatsoever in considering Edwards...

I know it's not over yet...But I've been saying for a while now that Manning would not go to any NFC East Teams, nor would he go to the Jets. And that I doubted he would want to be in the same Division as Brady...I also said a week ago that Tennessee was the darkhorse in the Manning Sweepstakes...We'll see soon enough...

HAHA! Get ready Phil!!!

Have you never seen Fred Jackson play? He may not be as punishing as Jacobs, but who is...Freddie can dish it out though and he's usually quite good in the Red Zone...

Exactly! Thank You... He's also a Team Leader and a great Locker Room guy...He's going to be pretty cheap...I'd love to see him back...

Biscuit...

There's a reason that list is "most likely," not "most sought after..." Good grief...There's about 300 surgeries total on that list...

Exactly! I mean the over exaggeration on this Board sometime is SO laughable! WTF kind of Bills Fan, who posts on a Bill Message Board daily, would want the Starting QB to fail? It's ridiculous some of the crap that flies around here at times from those over-defending Fitz...

Very cool!

I'll carry on...Thank you very much for your permission though... It's actually quite simple...Fitz is not in Eli's neighborhood as a QB overall...You can use any way you want to compare the two...Whatever criteria...It's not apples to apples, and as long as Bills Fans keep pulling these unrealistic comparisons to QB's who are better than Fitz they will continue to be disappointed... I know I'm being a bit hard-assed...But seriously when I see these type of comparisons I'm reminded of the Fitz brown-nosers who stated right here on this forum one year ago that Fitz was the next Drew Brees in the NFL...And it's these type of comparisons that drive me nuts...I'm not a Fitz hater...I like the guy and certainly hope the best for him and The Bills...But to me at least, he is what he is...And comparing him to Eli or Brees in any way, even in Fan expectation and reaction, is ridiculous to me...He's not that guy...He's never been that guy...That does not mean The Bills can't win with him...It just means they could win a hell of a lot easier with a better QB... No offense btw...Don't take it so personally that Fitz is just an average QB overall...And it's not crap talk when there is more than enough hard evidence to back it...It is what it is...

I obviously thought that his 2nd SB victory would officially cross Eli off the Fitz comparison list... But apparently not...

/yawn

I have no idea what Manning is going to do...But I don't think it's crazy to assume there is no way he's going to want to be in the same Division, or City for that matter, as his little Brother...I just don't see it happening... This decision is going to be up to Manning...It does not really matter who wants him...More than half the NFL is going to want a healthy Peyton Manning...All that matters is where he is most comfortable going...So...Division, Head Coach, Organization, Offensive Coordinator, etc...All this stuff comes into play. Not necessarily who wants him and who gets the most Press (ie...Dallas, NY Jets, Washington). I would look serious at some dark-horses here...Tennessee is one for sure...Good O-Line and LT...He played there in College and they love him there...Great Half Back...Decent Defense...Unassuming HC...And...Um...The Colts Division... I would say Denver would be another sleeper Pick...And Arizona make a lot of sense...

Which would make him a prime candidate for Buffalo in time...

Aaron Williams will be The Bills #1 CB in 2012... Just saying...It's in pen...

Why do you think that?...They were pretty much 1st in line to interview Stanford Routt...I think they would prefer to get a Vet CB in and concentrate elsewhere, or address CB later in The Draft...Unless Claiborne slides, which is not happening... PS...Finnegan may be asking for too much, but he's exactly the type of Player this Defense needs desperately...He's got attitude galore and is not afraid to get physical...I think he and Williams would make a hell of a tandem...

Is that really the combined 2012 Salary for those 2? If so, that certainly is a place to look for savings... Good grief...

I'm hearing there is a STRONG possibility Poe goes #9 Overall to Carolina... Seriously? Poe's size is more comparable to Dareus...So is his athleticism...Which is the key...And a Planet Kellen Heard will never even come close to visiting... Now, Poe has some steps to take to be in Marcel's neighborhood on-the-field...But his athleticism and size/speed/strength ratio is top tier...It would be Top 5% of current NFL DT's...Maybe Top 3%...No disrespect to Heard...But...

Have to agree... When Schefter is aggressively reporting something he's usually spot on...

Joe Haden went #7 Overall a couple years ago...And he was no where near the Prospect Claiborne is...I just don't see any way Claiborne lasts till #10...

They also need a QB that can throw deep with accuracy... Not just your opinion Bill...I think if The Bills somehow lose Stevie they have a PR nightmare on their hands...It's gonna get ugly...

Agreed Bill... Now if Claiborne fell I would honestly expect The Bills to Draft him...I would still not be thrilled with a CB...But anyway...

Very true! Did you see that special little report on Gronk's catch range (I think it was on ESPN...Not sure though)? His Height + Wing Span + Vert...It's ridiculous! He's an awful tough cover...One of the toughest in the NFL...

Because the Colts would never give up that Pick in a million years... Period...
