All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
The Buffalo Bills have the No. 9 overall pick in the NFL draft on April 22, and if they're fortunate, they'll have the opportunity to select Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen.
If he's available, and the Bills ignore him, it would be a huge mistake.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Well then...there you have it. **** whatever Nix thinks...Matthews is all over it.
I hope the team stands up and takes notice....
If Nix makes this pick, he just might be lucky enough to land a job writing, nuggets of wisdom like this, for the Democrat and Chronicle.
I am not saying Clausen is a horrible pick. I would prefer Bradford. I don't know if Clausen will have what it takes. Matthews has a laundry list of excuses as to why the guy didn't win in college, and excuses don't work for me anymore.
Maybe he is good...I am not an NFL talent evaluator.... but my money would be on Bradford being far better. If given the choice, I would pass on Clausen for McClain, or best LT or LB available.
Athough I love reading up on prospects and learning more about them (Thanks Draft Boy among others).. I loathe mock drafts in January/February and I can't for the life of me see how people make a case for a guy that may not even be a NEED come APril 22nd.
What if the Bills get Vick or a QB in trade or FA before the draft?

QB is still a need, Vick is 30 and his legs are going, unless he magically becomes a better passer he's only got till his legs are done in this league (2 maybe 3 more years?).
I dont see any FA options that are going to end QB as a need heading into April at this point.
COMING SOON...

If the draft was tomorrow and Clausen was the board at #9 I would take him.
But a lot can change before that. I'm not saying I expect it to.
But I think if they make any move at QB in FA or trade they dont take a QB #9 when they have Fitzpatrick, Brohm and whomever that pick up would be.
If we DO draft a QB, I hope its more of a blue chipper like Clausen or Bradford, because im very sick of project QBs
I am still doing my research on these 2 but right now its hard to pick one or the other.
I personally don't care what people think about Clausen's personality. He hasn't been tossed in jail or anything so a little ****y attitude would be welcomed here IMO.
Bradford however has some injury concerns but his accuracy would be greatly appreciated here...
It doesn't matter which QB was to be drafted I would exepct both of them to ride the pine for a year or so before being a full time starter.

why are gis legs gone? he hasn't taken punishment in yrs I disagree he is going to be determined to get back to a GREAT level we are talking about the same guy taht was the HIGHEST paid player in the NFL!!! I would hate to have to game plan for him and play us he has an arm can stretch the field and hopefully a new found maturity

It's ******ed, isn't it? I like the draft and I love college football, but that kind of behavior is nothing short of masturbatory.
