You can't compare the NFL with other corporations.
Actually we should. The NFL is more about business than the game. The lockout will prove this point again.

I will defend Ben R.
The fact is the Steelers were used to being a good team with sucky QB's for the last 20 years. They then get this prima donna star QB, who is suddenly "the man," and my guess is that there were a lot of egos that took a hit (e.g., "Wines Hard," Joey Porter, etc.)
The fact is Ben R. is the star QB on that team, and was the reason that they won two Super Bowls. He probably has the same prima donna attitude that any of the other star QB's of the past had.
This may be petty/picky but Ben had nothing to do with that win over the Seahawks (I think he had the worst stats of any SB winning QB). The refs and the Steeler D but not Rapesliburger!
-
Why not? He was very solid, came up at guard and moved to LT within a few years. Played injured and played hard and lasted for 10 years. I think many coaches and players would disagree with the "fans" that did not like him.
He was another Polian pick by the way.
My thought exactly. He wasn't an all-pro but very steady and reliable.
-
In order to rationalize our shocking 2nd round pick, Torell Troup, I thought it would be helpful if we could possibly come up with a list of 1st and 2nd rounders that went way higher than expected yet still succeeded in the NFL.
I'll start it off...No one ever heard of Henry Jones until we drafted him, and he fulfilled his draft status. And I remember Polian took Dwight Freeny about ten picks higher than expected. I know Troup went about 40 picks higher than expected, but I'll still count Freeny. That's it, I'm done, any help?
IIRC John Fina had a late 2nd early 3rd round "grade" we drafted in late 1st round. He had a nice 10+ year career. Same can not be said of one Eirc Flowers.
-
Did theses 2 teams switch Front offices and not tell anyone? WTF is up with Raiders making a good, solid, smart pick. The Jags should have gone with Tebow @10 at least he could fill some seats in that empty stadium!
-
LMAO Nix is full of it. Lynch is gone
Agreed, But now we are playing a weaker hand. everyone knows he's 3rd on our chart and can be had for dirt cheap. Trading him pre draft might have been better. Although that would have tipped the Spiller pick. AH f it I'm tired
-
Assuming the Bills go OT in the first round, is everyone on board with Colt McCoy in round 2?
I wouldn't have an issue with Colt or about 15 other names, They will all upgrade the roster. And hopefully fill a big need.
This is like Christmas for every NFL fan, unless you're a bears fan cause they dont pick until the 3rd round.

How can you not want to make the most of your time in the NFL?
Has ML ever been accused of being intelligent or one who makes wise decisions?
This fits right in line with his M.O.
-
Didn't they have him killed in the last episode?
-
I'm writing a paper about why sports are so important to our culture and i want to include TBD in the paper. So I'm asking Why are you a sports fan? What drives you to devote the time, money and energy rooting for a team? (not just the Bills, any team)
Any help you can provide would be very useful and assuming i have everyone's permission I will use some quotes from here in my final paper. Thanks in advance guys!
Sports are the first and best example of REALITY TV.
When you grow up in Buffalo you have to be a Sabres/Bills fan. It's in our blood.
-
I didn't think the Browns were going to draft a QB anyway. Somehow I doubt the acquisition of Seneca Wallace changes what their plan was.
Ah but this should change their interest in Troy Smith. Buddy you listenin? Call the Ravens and offer a 5th PLEASE!

Tyrone Green's reggae band is even funnier, sorry no linky.

Sporting News Mock Draft
They have the Bills taking Sergio Kindle and Jimmy Clausen is out of the 1st round altogether.
Might be one of the worst mocks Ive' seen in a while.
Anyone care to wager Clausen IS a 1st round pick?
-
If it was 2005 I would be pumped...
Iagree I hope he/we pass. his gas tank is empty! He was non-existent for a bunch of games last year. Why would parcells get rid of him? Miami was hurting for LB's
-
I understand that you have to and will bash until proven wrong, but don't hold on to your bashing ways for too long when it does turn because it's a lot more fun to be happy than to be negative all the time. It takes a lot less energy too...energy that could be used elsewhere..
But its just so much easier w no expectations. And this way we are right way more than we are wrong.
-
LOL did the OP use the word "CONTENDER" and Bills in the same paragraph?
-
Nothing.
But Bill Walsh loved the guy, even called him the "second coming of Joe Montana, including super bowls and everything."
That Bill Walsh guy is full of S/hit
-
it is bill parcells..........................gill brandt is on sirius today and he told the same story but he said it was parcells
Parcells was the first guy that popped into my head when I read the King story.
-
What's wrong with Trent Williams? Is it his size? I keep reading everywhere that Trent Williams may not project well into an NFL tackle, but why? I'm not sure, but I thought I read a month ago that he was only 6 ft tall...and that's why nobody wants him...but after I double check today, he's listed as 6 ft 6 everywhere...am I going crazy??
I remeber reading a scouting report that did not grade him well. He has/had slow feet, He also played poorly against Miami Hurricanes. I feel like he grades to a RT not a LT and that's why he's sliding to 15-20.
-
I like Chavous, but he doesn't have clausen or bradford going in the first, and thats just not going to happen
I just cant see either of them getting past the Seahawks @ 14.
I would like to see it but it won't happen

I know there is another place for this post, but I think it deserves to be posted right where I have put it. For the sole purpose that I only associate with the people in this specific forum and I do not think I have ever posted elsewhere. Therefore, I would like some feedback, thoughts and comments from all or as many of you, as I can get to read this and chime in.
This article just completely twisted my brain and flabbergasted me. I am in "Awe" and astounded that a professional athlete, who has gotten so much out of life, a majority of which I am sure was free, could say such things as he does in this article. However, I kind of, and I don't know why, agree with some of the points he tries to get across. Actually, the only thing that sticks out in my mind, like my Mother said a week ago, is why don't we teach these people about "birth control?"
That is the only thing I will comment on, is the birth control, until I see how others feel. I do not want to offend anybody.
PLEASE read this and share your thoughts on this article and how it relevantly relates to the situation in Haiti.

*This is something new to talk about. Something to take our minds off of our inept front office and the lackluster offseason our beloved Buffalo Bills have embarked on. There is nothing religious or political about this either. Please try to keep it that way, as well as somewhat positive, serious and non-offensive. (May be VERY hard to do, but please just try?)
THANK YOU - I hope to hear from MANY of you on this specific topic. (Not Haiti itself, but the article about the disaster.)
Sincerely,
Byrdman

fair and balanced opinion but really, what's the fascination with Tebow??? Another gimmick to get Bills pr??
I don't care to know what Nix and Gailey's opinion on Tebow - I'm assuming they won't draft him.
You should never ASSUME anything when it come to the bills, no matter who's in the FO.
-
Yes...I really thought they would land a big name coach that I would be happy with.
Yes...I am numb...and am considering jumping off a bridge.
ETA:
I really feel sorry for some of the "REAL MEN" on this roster. I think of Eric Wood, and Fred Jackson, and Brian Moorman, and a few others.
I am seriously considering dropping my Bills Fan card until Ralph is no longer a part of this organization. That is hard to say, because Ralph is the King of the Bills organization. He has kept the team in Western NY,...and twice (1979-1981 and 1989-1995) over the past 50 years has brought true winning teams for the fan base to cheer for. But this.....this decision...may be the straw that broke the camel's back.
There its fixed.
Oh and RW please DIE soon

According to an SI report:
http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/...cated?eref=sihp
Tom Brady may be available. I think he is/was overrated. Trent will be a far better player than Brady going foward.
Without Weis Brady is poor at best.
Hopefully we don't make the mistake of signing a washed-up QB.

Actually Oakland is interesting. They rid themselves of a fat lazy expensive qb, they have a good running game and a solid def and play in a very easy division.
