Absolutely. I'm optimistic that Taylor proves himself to not be a liability on the field. I mean, we at least have Cassel who can certainly manage a game.

Taylor has proven he's a clip board holder as should EJ and Cassel is another concussion away from being out, we need an NFL QB. One day the Bills will figure that out.

Little cloudy in Vegas there 89?

The organization is fully aware that they need a quarterback. They certainly don't grow on trees and are extremely difficult to acquire. Drafting a long shot QB like those guys in the mid rounds this year is hardly solving the QB problem. More often than not, and I mean really often, they turn out to be Cassels and EJs anyways. We need to trade up for one, trade for one straight out or bottom out completely. And this roster ain't gonna bottom out completely.

Drafted a QB instead of 3 more WR's we don't need or another DB we don't need. They had a chance or 2 to grab one and they didn't.

ESPN Bills reporter Mike Rodak believes Fred Jackson is not a lock for the final roster.

It's tough to see the Bills unloading the heart and soul of their offense, a guy that's been mostly productive for eight seasons. But OC Greg Roman wants to keep four tight ends and possibly six receivers as well. That might only leave room for three running backs, which means F-Jax would need to beat out Bryce Brown or Boobie Dixon for a spot behind LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams. The Bills would save $2.5M in cap space by releasing Jackson

my biggest issue was the 5th rd pick, could have picked up a better player then that rb

and not drafting collins with the 7th rd pick



grabbing the corner with the second I am fine with
same for the guard in the 3rd

my guess is they did not want to reach for petty in the 3rd, and there was crap left once the 5th came around


I am fine with it, if they have a plan b for next off season because the overall roster IMO is better and deeper then what we have seen since 1994

Petty should have picked over another RB, you give up all of what we gave up for Sammy and he's got nobody to throw the ball to him. Waste if you ask me.

Better then what we have now, at least he can move the team down the field. I didn't have a problem with Orton just the way he left I did.

I remember saying last year he was a goner and I was dead wrong. I won't be making that prediction again. Although I could see them going with younger players.

No. I think it's definitely a "must win" game for Buffalo now. If they can't beat NE without Brady and with all the talent currently on that roster, then it's going to be another long year.

Rex is actually upset about Brady being suspended. He said he wants to beat the Pats WITH Brady, not without.

- HonkFortheGoose


I call Bologna. He may say it, but your telling me he didn't circle that game saying here is our chance to win.

Brady being out is great news for Buffalo. A win is a win, no matter how you look at it.

Then next year you'll be here calling him out as a clipboard holder like the rest of them. They're not good qbs. What's the point?

Petty has about A 5% of becoming an NFL starter.

If he miraculously does, then Whaley and Co. should be fired.

With the exception of Russel Wilson and maybe Teddy Bridewater, what good QB's have been drafted anywhere near within reach of the Bills?
