KOKBILLS

Well...He was only unhappy because of the dumb move to LT...Unless there was something else I'm not aware of...And even unhappy he sure as hell was a lot better than anything they've had a RT since...I'll never understand that move...

Roscoe is signed through 2011...Gailey loves him, he's one of the best Punt Returners in the NFL, and he was making Plays at WR (career high in yards in only 8 Games) before he got hurt...Why will he be gone next year? Especially considering he's not too expensive...

Thanks for the Link! Great Interview...How can you not like this Kid?

It was just a fact check nothing more...Plus the fact that Alex Smith went #1 Overall is never going to help the argument in favor taking a QB high...

Aaron Rodgers was 24th Overall in the 05 Draft...Alex Smith was #1...

I understand what you're saying...But part of your orignal comment was to point out that Nix may be open to Trading Down, even if we had a chance to Draft Luck, because they did so in SD with Vick/Brees...And my point was simple...The Bills would NEVER pass on the opportunity to Draft Luck...Fitz or no Fitz they would take Luck...That's all I'm saying...Who Vick is now has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make which was, Luck is going to be more highly thought of coming out than Mike Vick was back then...And Buddy will not pass on Luck no matter what anybody offers...The Bills will never get the chance to draft Luck anyway...But if they do he'll be a Buffalo Bill...You can write that in stone...

There is fault in your logic... Vick does not = Luck coming out...At the time there were PLENTY of Football Guys who questioned whether or not Mike Vick would ever be a great NFL QB...Butler saw a Team that needed a ton, but he also saw a QB in Brees who he believed had a better chance at success than Vick...Luck is going to come into the NFL with FAR less question marks than Vick...FAR less...Scouts and GM's are going to love this Kid because he seems to be the total package off the field as well as on... There is one player who, if he comes out, the Buffalo Bills will not pass on..That player is Andrew Luck...

Well...Of coarse it sounds bad when you put it that way...

You may not be the only one...But I'm pretty sure you'll be in the minority around here... Personally I LOVE Gus and Steve...Gus Johnson is a mad man...

That was genius by Mr. Johnson...Very clever...When he pulled that shirt up I was like..."Oh no he didn't!" Hilarious!

Honestly I'll give Fitz the HUGE credit he deserves today! If The Bills choose to build around this guy I gotta say I'm OK with it now...How can you not root for Fitz? Coming back today when he could have laid down has REALLY won me over...Great job by Fitz and Stevie...No matter how this one ends up I'm AOK with Fitz now...I realize he's going to give us a heart-attack or two along the way...But he's tough as nails mentally...That much is certain... I'd still Draft Luck though...

Seriously dude you can be a bit insufferable... I said listen to him as in watch the freaking Press Conference and you'll understand he was gonna run it 3 times and Kick the FG because he LOVES their Kicker...I would not have mattered if they had God at QB, that was what he was going to do...It had nothing to do with Mallett... Like I said I can understand if you don't like Mallett as an NFL Prospect...That is a valid discussion...But saying Petrino did not Pass in that situation because he has no confidence in Mallett is complete fantasy...It's a figment of your imagination brought on by your obsession to hate a Kid who, no matter what kind of NFL QB he ends up being, you are GREATLY under-valuing as a College QB...

Build around Fitz???

I knew there was another reason I disliked you...

Even though the chances of The Bills taking a QB in the Top 5 remain slim (Luck may not come out, The Bills win a few more games, etc...) I'm hoping beyond hope that they do end up getting Luck or Mallet just to see the anti-QB folks around here implode in anger... There is absolutely no way you can fault a Team for Drafting a QB high assuming that QB is rated where he is Drafted...ESPECIALLY when you've had the QB problems The Bills have had for what? 15 Years now? It's not always going to work out...that's just the way it is...Nothing is guaranteed anyway...They will still need to build the O-line and improve the Defense to win a Championship...That goes without saying...But if they get the chance to take the Top 10 QB, and that QB grades out to be Drafted there, they HAVE to take the Kid...Because if they hit with that QB they win BIG for a decade plus...It's a no-brainer for this Franchise at this time...They have to take that risk...

Listen to Petrino after the Game...He said they were going to run the Ball 3 times and Kick the FG to win because he loves the Kicker...That's all...period...end of story...He was not going to chance anything going wrong...He was shocked the Kicker missed...He said they went back to their normal, aggressive Offense after that and gave credit to Mallett for reading the hot on the TD pass... Rose colored glasses? I'd say the Mallett detractors around here give the Kid no credit whatsoever...Even holding him accountable for Coaching decisions that clearly had nothing to do with his play or ability...If you don't like Mallett fine...But implying that what Petrino did in the 1st OT is some kind of knock on Mallett...well...that's is a complete joke...

As a Bills Fan 1st and a Michigan Fan 2nd I'm all for this scenario!!! Michigan's Offense is definitely better this year with Robinson, but IMHO Rich Rod should be fired for fielding that Defense alone...He's the HC and he's ultimately responsible for what I feel, as a Michigan Fan, is the most embarrassing thing they have put on the field in their long and proud history...Watching that Defense as a Michigan Fan is akin to torture...It's embarrassing...And the Special Teams are not much better...Somebody HAS to pay for it...And if Michigan can land Harbaugh it's a no-brainer if you ask me...

Exactly...I've tried to make this point before around here but it falls on deaf ears...Probably because some Folks have watched The Bills lose for so long they have NO CLUE what having a QB that actually inspires his teammates means anymore...They would not know a winner if he came up and smacked them upside the head...Trent lost in College...So did JP...Luck and Mallett are WINNERS...Mallett was 4-0 as a Pure Frosh Starter at Michigan when he basically had no clue what he was doing...He's a winner...Luck as well...Were sitting here watching these 2 College powerhouses in the SEC and PAC 10, Alabama and USC...um no wait...Florida and Oregon?...Nope not yet...Freaking Arkansas and Stanford!!! And we have Buffalo Bills Fans...Fans who have sat through JP, Kelly Holcomb, Trent Edwards and now Fitz, and they're nitpicking these 2 to absolute death...It's a joke...I'm SO glad Buddy Nix will not do the same...These 2 Kids are winners who inspire better performances out of their Teammates week in and week out...They would both make incredible additions to this Football Team...Both will need a Year or two to get caught up and find themselves, but once they do they'll do the same thing in the NFL they've been doing since they were Kids...They'll win...

I really don't think the Jury is still out on Eli and Brees...There both pretty solid and they're both better than Fitz... I actually think you made my point for me...I'm going to assume for the sake of argument The Bills feel Luck or Mallett is a Franchise guy...A QB you build a Team around that can win Championships in the NFL...That's why The Bills HAVE to take one of them if they get the chance...Because QB's like that come around once every few years...And the the potential reward of taking a QB instead of say...a DE from Ohio St...is definitely worth the risk of missing on that QB because the goal is to win a SB not win 7 games...

Y'all crack me up...You've always got an angle...10 years of losing has deadened the senses I guess... How many #1 Overall DE's end up being Bruce Smith? Aikman, Elway, Eli, and Peyton were 1st Overall...Young was the 1st Player taken in the Supplemental Draft...That's 8 of the last 20 SB's right there...Big Ben was #11 Overall in a Top heavy QB Draft...That's 10 of the last 20...Already half...But don't play dumb...Where would Brady, Favre, Warner, and Brees have gone had Teams know what type of NFL QB's they would become? Of coarse not everyone was #1 Overall, nor does every #1 Overall QB pan out...There is a strong possibility The Bills will not even get the chance to take Luck or Mallett...The point is IF they get that chance they ARE going to take it and they should...Both QB's have the...and yes here comes the p-word...but they have the potential to be Franchise QB's for the next 10 years plus...And that is the best, quickest, and most efficient angle to becoming a Championship competitor in the NFL...It's shooting for greatness, not trying to do everything the hard way just cause it's possible... The point is not if a Team can be built around Fitz because of coarse that is possible...It's also possible that I will be the next President of the US...It's possible, I qualify...The true point is IF The Bills have a chance to take Luck or Mallett they should do so...And I think they will...And I'll support them in the decision even if Mallett or Luck fail...Because I know they are trying to be great...Not trying to figure a way to buck the trend and win a SB with a QB the caliber of Ryan Fitzpatrick...All due respect to Fitz who plays hard and is certainly a serviceable guy...I like Fitz and if The Bills choose to build around him I hope he proves me wrong...But I'd rather like him as my back-up...

"If Baltimore Won a SB with Trent Dilfer"...Okey Doke... Do you have any idea how much better the Baltimore and Tampa Bay Rosters had to be at EVERY Position in order to Win a Super Bowl?...Those Teams are the exception to the Rule and it's not even close for God's sake...If you want to build your Super Bowl Team in that manner it's fine...The rest of the league will be searching for the great QB...Cause that's what gets Teams to the SB, and wins SB's more often than not...Great play at the QB Position... Let's look at the last 20...Yes, 20 Super Bowl Winners...What did 17 of the 20 have? Outstanding QB play...17 out of 20, or 85%...I would say those odds are pretty convincing...Troy Aikman(3 SB Wins, 1 SB MVP, 1st Ballot HOF QB), Mark Rypien (SB MVP and 2 time Pro Bowl QB who was playing out of his mind the year the Skins won it all), Steve Young (1 SB win, 1st Ballot HOF QB), Brett Favre (1 SB win, will be 1st Ballot HOF QB), John Elway (2 SB Wins, 1 SB MVP, 1st ballot HOF QB), Kurt Warner (1 SB Win, SB MVP, probable 1st Ballot HOF QB), Tom Brady (3 SB Wins, 2 SB MVP's, LOCK 1st Ballot HOF QB), Big Ben (2 SB Wins), Eli Manning (1 SB win, #1 Overall draft Pick), Peyton Manning (1 SB Win, SB MVP, LOCK 1st Ballot HOF QB), Drew Brees (1 SB Win, SB MVP, 4 time Pro Bowl QB, Comeback of the Year in 2004 and Offensive Player of the Year in 2008)... So how do you want to build a Super Bowl winning Team?... I thought so...

Exactly! Thank You!

That's HILARIOUS! Jim Kelly was great O-Line, or no O-Line...He got sacked a half a million times in the USFL and still put up MVP Numbers... I know it's easy to invoke the name of Kelly as a Bills Fan when you are trying to make a point, but once again I have to say PLEASE stop comparing Fitz and Kelly in any way, shape, or form...There is NO comparison between the two no matter how you spin it...NONE!...You folks who keep bringing back the Kelly years actually have it EXACTLY opposite...If we want to make comparisons to Kelly than The Bills HAVE to Draft a QB high because that's the only possibility they are going to get someone who may someday be comparable to a 1st Ballot Hall Of Fame QB... You're doing a disservice to Kelly's legacy when you make these points IMHO...I know that's not the intention, but I think we've forgotten how good Jim Kelly really was, and how those QB come around once in a Lifetime for a lot of Teams...

That's definitely a possibility...And if that's what happens I'm guessing The Bills can do worse than Fitz...But I don't think there is any way they pass on Luck or Mallett if they get the chance to Draft either...If they don't get that chance then it's a D-Lineman, O-Lineman or a LB I imagine...

Fitz is on a decent, not great, career-best run...Lets not get too carried away just yet...If he plays the way he's played since the Balt game the rest of the year there is no way Bills Fans will be as pumped about building around Fitz...So I'm not sure why anyone would decide now that he's the guy...There's 7 Games left in the Season...We'll see... We would want a new QB because the hope would obviously be we could get a better one than Fitz, one that could lead the Bills to another 10 year plus run like Kelly did...It happens in the NFL...Great QB's still come out, get Drafted high and win Super Bowls...The Manning Brothers and Big Ben are recent examples...It's absolutely nothing against Fitz...There are better QB's, and there will be better QB's than Fitz in the NFL...I don't think that is disputable whatsoever... If the Bills Draft a QB Fitz would still have a good chance to start in 2011, but likely would move back to #2 in 2012...He'll make a GREAT mentor and Back-up and the Bills would be insane to let him go... Saying that Drafting a QB would set this Franchise behind is just misinformed speculative nonsense...Drafting THE WRONG QB could set the Franchise behind...Drafting the right one could catapult The Bills into Title contention in a couple years...There are no guarantees with any Draftee at any Position...The NFL is a risky business...You do your homework and make your decisions based on that hard work...But you darn sure better have a good QB if you expect to win...Everybody knows the re-building process is a heck of a lot easier with the right QB...If The Bills have a chance to Draft Luck or Mallett they pretty much have to take that chance...Because if they pass, and those 2 end up being the next Eli and Rivers, THAT will likely set the Bills back worse than anything...The Bills need a new face to build this Franchise around...Fitz may be that guy if they can't get in the position to get a QB high in the 2011 Draft...But I don't think there is any way they pass on Luck or Mallett if they are available when the Bills are on the clock...They are going to Draft a Top QB Prospect if they get that chance..They've all but promised as much...I really don't know why that would bother any Bills Fan...They are going to shoot for greatness..And that's exactly what they should do at this point...
