Ok I just got home and to my horror I saw that I passed on some total bs. I owe everyone an apology and if it makes anybody feel better I won’t post for quite some time. I’m sorry this happened, I promise you that I wasn’t trying to mislead anyone. I was passed along something that I thought was very believable so I was trying to make people feel better and not keep everyone in torment. I put myself out there, knowing darn well that even if it came true I was still going to get bashed and if it was erroneously incorrect I was putting myself on the firing line. I still don’t regret making a statement that I believe in, regardless of the consequences. That’s alright though because I know that the majority of the members here aren’t mean or hateful, it’s just a few that get so vile. I stand accountable, I’m not going to not stand up to it, I rightfully deserve criticism  and I’m sincere enough to accept that. Once again I’m sorry, it wasn’t never my intention to mislead any of you, and I will rightfully stand on the sidelines for awhile and just root for our favorite team.

 

Go Bills!

 

Don't worry about it.  You owned up to it.  You're all right.

He didn't, Limeaid.  Unlike the Eagles and Foles, the Ravens won the SB despite Dilfer.

 

 

I'll address the last part.  They don't offer the Eagles a 1st and 4th because they want to give up as little as possible and they're in no rush to trade for him since the draft is 6 weeks from tomorrow. 

 

As for trading up, the Bills would need to trade both 1st rounders and their 1st-3rd rounder to get to 3, and add their 1st-2nd rounder to get to 2.  For a guy who has never played in the NFL and you hope will be a franchise guy.  And you want to talk about failed franchises, how many have failed drafting a guy they thought was a sure thing, only to see him fail?

 

And what Hostetler and Gannon did was nothing compared to what Foles did.  Again I didn't hitch my wagon to Foles for no reason.

Lol, you can' t completely dismiss the basis and majority of a sound argument against your point and simply pick out a part you want to dispute. Thats not how sound and quality discussions happen.The bottom line is this... IF, there is a franchise altering potential FQB that can be had for only a 1st and a 4th...teams are lining up to pay the price. Everyone simply laughs at the Eagles with good reason. He was on an excellent team and in an excellent situation. If he could put a team on his back KC wouldn' t have been the disaster it was. He can compliment an excellent team - not make the team excellent. Same category as tyrod except, ya know, he can throw. Anywho- Moot point, as the Bills went w AJ who I think (not that it matters a lick) is a better choice than Foles and serves the purpose you want, which seems to be win until the rookie is ready. As with Foles, my only worry is putting 2 guys in a room who want to be the guy when only 1 can. A Moore, Hoyer, McCown guy would serve that role in a more defined way and would avoid a volatile situation but hopefully that's not even an issue and I'm just getting ahead of myself anyway. 

In the end, I agree to disagree and neither of us are scouts or GMs. The guys that are didn't view it as a viable option and that's all I really need to know

I didn't mean to harsh on you.  It's just that maybe you shouldn't dive in on a stranger at a Florida DMV 's tip about the Bills.  You could have avoided this mea culpa by sneaking this thread into the other Foles thread(s) as a simple post.  That's all I was saying.

 

Peace.

Thank you for the tip tipster. No need to not post, but id imagine itll be a 'joke' that follows you for a bit. I'd have kept it under my hat for the many reasons listed in this thread - but I get you got excited and wanted to share. Something to read at the very least

Forget the mea culpa. You weren't purposely trying to mislead anyone. You took a swing and a miss on some info that you thought was legit but it wasn't. No biggie. Everyone is excited this time of year and hoping for Bills news. No harm no foul. On to the next rumor...

I’ll say this, I wasn’t wrong about the members on this message board and that’s NOT a rumor it’s a fact! Even Mr Weo who I was so rude to was pretty darn cool about my bonehead blunder. Thanks guys, you all have made me feel a bit better about being the village idiot.

I never said Foles was definitely a franchise-altering QB.  If he were, yes teams would be lining up to sign him.  I said he could be, if his playoff and SB performances are any indication, and that trading a 2nd rounder (never said I'd trade a 1st and 4th) for him would be worth it, especially given his cheap contract.  Obviously teams have concerns and they probably also saw what happened with Bradford and said "fool me once..."

 

And one thing to remember is this: while Wentz helped the Eagles get to the playoffs, Foles actually won the SB.  So maybe the Eagles don't even need Wentz, if a guy like Foles (or hell, anybody) can win them a SB?

 

And the Bills signing AJM doesn't change much.  He's being paid a pittance.  If anything, it sends a message to the Eagles that the Bills aren't in desperate need to trade for Foles now and will explore trading up in the draft, using multiple 1st rounders if need be, to get a rookie.  While their offer of a 2nd rounder still stands.

SERIOUSLY? Your takeaway from this is This STILL somehow revolves around Foles? Good god man.. I'm starting to think you might be the #1 Foles fan. "If need be"???? REALLY???

That statement combined with the fact that you simply choose to ignore NO OTHER TEAMS (let alone the Bills) share you enthusiasm in his potential. It's like if Matt Cassel had have went back to the Pats 4 yrs later and took over for an injured Brady. Product of the system who didnt screw it up. THATS as hypothetical as your confidence in Foles. I had a blast watching him im the superbowl but... i gotta face the facts.

At the very least I have enjoyed our chat but I gotta say... I'm kinda worried if you STILL think they should/could get Foles. Ya GOTTA let it go, for your own sake and sanity

Thanks for the advice but worry about yourself.  And we'll leave it at "we'll agree to disagree."

All good tipster. I wanted to question you if you knew of a Bills Backer bar in Ft. Myers that was called Ali-Gators. It's something else now though but about six or seven years ago I went there during a Bills game.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I lived in Fort Myers for 21+ years and then we moved to Augusta, GA for the last 3 year’s. We just moved back to Cape Coral, a man made island just off of Fort Myers. When I was here last I believe you’re right, it was called Gators and it was on Colonial Blvd/Veronica Shoemaker.

So with the influx of predictions, scoops, and inside information of late, I like to reference a reliability index.  I have recently updated it and would appreciate feedback on its accuracy.

 

Lance Armstrong > Jim Bakker > Bernie Madoff > Richard Nixon > SaviorPeterman > Dunkirk Don > Fredonia Fred > Tipster19 > Anyone with less than 1000 posts predicting anything.
