You know, if the Bills and Jets actually had decent QB's (I like Vick but he's just too fragile) the AFC East would start to look a little scary.

Where's your new avatar bro?
Tell your Dads you love them. My Father ended up in the hospital last night, looks to be OK now, and stable, but certainly scary hearing that. And considering what the book I just finished also had a strong father/son moment, it puts things in perspective, and the fact that his brother just passed away =(

Dang, man, I am sorry to hear about that. Really good to hear that everything is okay now. I think about that kind of stuff a decent amount and even more now that I have a kid myself.

Damn man, that does sound scary. But it's good to hear that everything is alright.
Hoping for the best

Look at this face:
Clearly this man knows what he's doing and will lead us to the promise land. It's Shula 2.0

Look at the upside, at least he won't go around killing people on his down time.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

But he really likes playing though.
I like the pick.

LJ is happy, so you must be the stupid one

I'd believe that if they didn't admit that they would have gone up at #5 to get Watkins if Buffalo hadn't taken him at 4.
I do believe they had him as elite on their list and I do believe that Lombardi had him #2 on his list. Not Mayhew's, but Lombardi's.

RIP RB's in 1st round. how many have been drafted the last 2 years?

Pass on Bishop Sankey at your own peril, friends!
Or perhaps your team needs a tight end? Austin Seferian-Jenkins is your guy!
He can block too! (#88)
I actually wouldn't mind either on the Pats
Besides being fragile, Vick is just an awful quarterback.
Tannehill also didn't have the second season I would have hoped either.
The Colts took one this year.

Cdy you in the movement if we draft Sankey?
If you guys draft Sankey...
Well I don't do second teams, but you'll certainly have my sword!!
The position just doesn't make sense in this league anymore.
They fizzle out by thirty, and you can cobble together a few backs to make up the production of one. In the process giving you a more diverse attack.
Deadspin looked at pre-draft scouting reports from ESPN, NFL, and CBS for 387 prospects (99 white, 288 black) and came up with a tool for comparing how often words are used for black and white players. Here are some choice examples:
Come on now. You're just using words that describe Johnny Football, that isn't fair.

58 sacks and a case of the dropsies by wallace had something to do with that, though I agree he still needs improvement in key areas. (Footwork/pocket presence, faster decision making)
I won't :squicken but I'll be rooting for you guys against most teams!
He just can't read defenses. That has pretty much been my only problem. In this NFL, that is pretty much the worst stigma to have as a QB, even if statistically you are moderately successful.

Squicken is my guy, but we need to have an intervention
At least the "EJ has no weapons" excuse is dead and buried now. You'll find out if he's the guy before you need to extend his contract.
The player might work out for you guys, I just didn't think the WR position was an issue for the club.
You now are playing the game, "Can we get a team together before he bails?"

I'm a VT alum so I'm biased. <3 Vick.
Tannehill gets one more free pass because of that o-line. This is his last shot in my eyes but I still think the potential is there.

Would have been more stupid for them not to make a bold move this year and get their asses fired when new ownership takes over... which precedent states ALWAYS happens. Without exception.
Literally the only thing that could save the jobs of Brandon, Whaley and Marrone is to make the playoffs this season... somethng which has not happened in FIFTEEN YEARS.
Does that mean they have to mortgage next year's 1st round pick? Of course.
If the pick is meaningful (non-playoff teams equal Top 20) then none of these guys will be around to miss it. The only way they're still around is if that pick is 21 or lower. And when you think about giving up a 21 or lower pick... well, that's not so bad. Look at some of the guys that went 21 or lower yesterday from a "loaded" draft class. Dee Ford? Marcus Smith? Jimmie Ward? Multi-ACL tear Dominique Easley? Hell, the Dolphins grabbed a guy nobody else wanted until Round 3 or later at 19 in Ja'Wuan James. You know it's bad when the J-E-T-S had the best Round 1 draft in the AFC East outside of the Bills. The Jets never draft good. Pryor is good.
So is it worth giving up a player like a Ford, a Smith, a Ward, an Easley or a James to jump up and land the top receiver prospect in the draft? Under those conditions? Sure, these guys have got nothing to lose.
At least the Bills showed up for the draft. You didn't show up for the Shirtless draft and now you're stuck landing the last draft slot for the umpteenth year. I can appreciate being distracted by Bruins vs. Habs greatness but I'm surprised Dutch keeps you in the league given that lack of commitment.
LJ is right. The Bills were dumber last year. Manuel has to step up and deliver or that entire ship is sunk. But at least they're going out guns blazing. Why leave bullets unused for the new guys?
