That's the sort of well-reasoned, logical, thoughtful input I've come to expect on this board. So, what do you think of all those coloreds playing the game nowadays?

Juice_32 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Can PK play quarterback? Definitely a change to see so much national attention at camp. Hopefully we can back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 He is an excellent writer, and he has unparalleled contacts within the league. I don't always agree with his takes, but there's no question he's a terrific read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't always agree with his takes, but there's no question he's a terrific read. Agreed. PK's the only national guy I go out of my way to read, since I know there will be a ton of good quotes from his contacts and it won't be a 'hit and run' job designed to generate clicks...

hondo in seattle Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I like Peter King a lot. I don't always agree with him, but he often entertains and frequently provides information not available elsewhere. When he calls, there are a lot of people - from rookie players to seasoned executives - who answer the phone. I don't expect any national media guy to be perfectly versed on the Bills. Imagine trying to follow 32 teams. Nevertheless, his analyses are usually pretty good because they're shaped by the opinions of the experts and insiders he talks to.

Beerball Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Some people are capable to being immune to the outrage of the day. Just saying. and some of those some people you reference are capable of being outraged by other topics of the day. Interesting how that works. Just saying. Meanwhile, back on topic I look forward to reading King's perspective on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm sure he'll have a lot to say about the coffee. He seems to be an expert in that area and I will look forward to reading about it. I understand he writes about other things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomper Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I love the access he gets. I mean, c'mon, not many people can get Peyton on the phone for an exclusive 90 minutes after the final gun. He certainly is plugged in. However, he can be maddening as an apologist for the league. He also is a little pretentious with his non-football observations. A week Haiku? "Mr. Starwood Preferred Travel Member?" Whatever Pete. Stick to giving me inside info. That being said, his is the first thing I read on Monday mornings.

LeGOATski Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I bet he thinks we'd be real good if we had our QB situation figured out. Yep. The AFCE is being forecasted as the toughest division in the league and the Bills don't have a legit QB. Another 9-7 season wouldn't surprise me, but I'd be really disappointed. I believe King's prediction for us last year was way under, too. Like 6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I believe King's prediction for us last year was way under, too. Like 6-10. Yup. Here's his Bills Preview from last year. http://mmqb.si.com/2014/07/31/buffalo-bills-nfl-preview "BOTTOM LINE The defense is improving, but with the scheme change and injury to Alonso, it’s hard to envision the unit as a whole being significantly better than it was a year ago. Which means the Bills are hinging a turnaround on their young quarterback—a tall order. A fourth-straight 6-10 campaign (and fifth in six years) seems likely." The defense got even better, though, so the Bills didn't need to depend on Manuel/Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense got even better, though, so the Bills didn't need to depend on Manuel/Orton. I missed any mention of it here, but a few weeks ago, he picked Taylor as the Bill under the most pressure. Looks like he's part of the EJ conspiracy theory.: http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2015/07/23/nfl-training-camp-primer-peter-king-schedule Buffalo: Tyrod Taylor, quarterback. I don’t know. You don’t know. It could be Matt Cassel. It probably won’t be E.J. Manuel. But I know Rex Ryan. He’s going to play the best guy, and I do think he’s going to be tempted by the run/pass combo platter of the former Ravens’ backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
