Dan Gross Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 So it's true then - there is a rumor that The Bills are shopping Losman.That's what I thought. Man, wait this this gets out onto the Internet. No doubt it'll knock all those Bills to LA rumors off the front page for at least a week. Hey, did anybody hear that Moulds wants out of Buffalo? I was thinking of starting a new thread and kind of scoop the story, but I'm not sure if anybody knows about it yet. 649265[/snapback] I heard TD may lose his job as GM of the Bills, and Mularkey might follow...

dave mcbride Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 He's repeating the same baseless unsubstantiated rumors we heard earlier. And if you read the article, he says even though it's not a good sign to hear swirling rumors, it's a silly question, doesn't make much sense, wouldn't look good, wouldn't get much for him, and it's undetermined whether they may be just trying to gauge interest. Other than that, seems like a done deal. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/teams/bills/index.html 649088[/snapback] i agree with you, but i also agree with wilson that this can't look good for losman with regard to his role next year.

Where as there used to be that stigma of the press is different in New York City and you have to deal with it if you're a player there, now everywhere is New York City. I have now read about a dozen stories about this shopping of Losman, and each one is referring to the others and that is what is called "more rumors". It's not more rumors, it's the same rumor copy-and-pasted and it wasn't from any real source at all to begin with. Players have to deal with this stuff now, and frankly, I don't see it as a problem for them, just an irritant, like a fly that just won't go away, until it does. I like Losman a lot. I think he will be a very good quarterback in this league and I want him on my team. That is just a prediction and he could completely tank. This should not affect Losman's play whatsoever, and if it does, he's going to tank and I don't want him to be my quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Bills Digest: Regardless of who becomes the starting quarterback, do you envision all three quarterbacks still being on the roster come September?Dick Jauron: Yes, I do. I think we've got three really qualified and competent candidates to fight it out. I think every one of them has the potential and ability to step up and be the guy. So the fact that the three of them are here together should make all of them better. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The draft is a crap shoot 649103[/snapback] if the draft is a crap shoot then Tom Donahoe was a pretty good marksman because when you look at some of the players he pulled the trigger on (Losman, Reed, Wire, Williams) he hit crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 really though why shouldn't we at least get an idea of what we can get for him? If it's underwhelming so be it, but you'll never know if the GB people are still cuckoo for cocoa puffs over him if you don't ask. I have no particular attachment to him that a reasonable trade package couldn't smooth over. if someone wants to give me a #1 I'm listening, why shouldn't I be listening? Won't know if you dont ask though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finknottle Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Ohhhh, those shamefull and baseless rumors! They couldn't possibly be true! We've got to do something! Talk about getting your panties in a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Ohhhh, those shamefull and baseless rumors! They couldn't possibly be true! We've got to do something! Talk about getting your panties in a bunch. 649566[/snapback] Actually, I'm very much in favor of shamefull and baseless rumors when they pertain to The Bills. And here's why. It's a little known secret that the amount of shamefull and baseless rumors about a team is taken into account by The League when they're calculating compensation picks. It works something like the Chunky Soup poll - the more shamefull and baseless rumors a team's fan sites have that can be linked to any other football reportage site, the more points that team gets in the very complicated formula league officials use to determine compensatory picks. Extra points are awarded if the site is ESPN - except if it comes from John Clayton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
