when your coach says your qb will not be a franchise overnight, what message does that send to your qb


I am not liking this coach in year 2

John Kitna is available, and donates his salary to the booster club of the high school where he teaches math.

That makes sense . Have said we need a veteran backup for a year.

They got there in spite of him . There is a reason Cassel is starting ahead of him.

No, lets just tank and get the first overall pick. Oh wait.
- Buffalo-Sabres


You're assuming that whoever would be the 1st overall pick would be the answer though, and that's not always the case. Just look at the Rams and Sam Bradford right now.

what amazes me if the bills brass think it's ok to have an undrafted qb behind a struggling second year qb


where does that make any sense?

That in and of itself is really the issue here. For as many good things they've managed to do, they've done just as many stupid things.

Cousins is good with the Redskins and that system but will he be as good here? that's the question. All these QB's that are good or backup QB's that are good, are good in the system they are in. Bring them here and you don't know what will happen. EJ has the size but he's just not a good QB.

8 pars, 9 bogeys, 1 double

all 8 pars were greens in regulation, no putt over 25 feet, shortest was 12 feet

yeah, he does...I remember that draft class for qb's...nearly every bills fan was clamoring for a qb in the first round, like they do every year...after cam--locker, gabbert, ponder

some guy named Peterson helped a little bit, he and his 2000+ yds. rushing...plus, they had a much better offensive line

I think ya gotta look at the offensive line too, 89...as a group they're pretty bad right now...in fact, marrone still hasn't wholly settled upon his five starting linemen yet

Agreed, this is going to be a run first, play action team. I think getting Glenn ready and Henderson adjusted to RT will help.

You give yourself a much better chance at having the answer when you have a first round pick than when you don't. Teams like Seattle, 49'ers, New England, Pittsburgh, they don't need an answer. The Bills with the 14 years out of the playoffs, the only thing they should be thinking about is in the answer.

edit: Its not their fault. The people in place running the Bills aren't NFL caliber people. The last 10 + years they haven't been charged with running a top notch NFL team. Their only job was to keep Ralph Wilson happy. Make money, sell most the seats by generating offseason buzz. Its been a rudderless ship for so long that no one in the organization knows how to fix it. Russ Brandon got promoted for drafting Aaron Maybin. Enough said.
