This is a bit of a mixed bag of topics all jammed in to one article, but it's an interesting read and I think Carucci is trying to say something without really saying it if you know I mean.

Where did all of the OTA reports go? We got 1 days worth of reports, and that's it.

Why no updates on the QB competition I wonder? Who won day 2? Day 3?

Vic Carucci wrote two things in that article that stuck out the most to me.

"Tyrod Taylor, a clear favorite of coach Rex Ryan..."

and...

"It means that he and the rest of the Bills’ decision-makers are buying whatever time they can until they are able to land a franchise quarterback, the most critical ingredient to a championship team."

If Fred Jackson gets cut I will revolt.

I think you trade Fred and EJ in a package deal. EJ is a cancer as a backup but on another team he's definately serviceable. Fred is playing his last year and I know we all love him but you have to look forward here.

I'm glad that tis was the first reply because it was my first thought. I want Fred to retire after his last season as a Bill. He is far and away my favorite of all time.... an underdog on an underdog team. I'm a huge sap, I know.

EJ is a "cancer as a backup"? From where did you pull that one?

Yeah, if Jackson gets cut I will move on from skeptical/disappointed to flat-out pissed with this regime and ready to move on to the next guy. Brown, maybe even Dixon, are the expendable ones at RB, cutting Freddie would be a complete admission of insecurity on Ryan's part. Maybe Rexy isn't a strong enough leader himself, to be able to handle an existing presence like Jackson in the locker room.

Emanual, Incognito and Goodwin aren't exactly reaches...I don't know if any would be real surprises at this point considering what they each have to overcome.

Harvin would be ridiculous. You just don't throw six million for one season at a guy that may be on the bubble. You expect him to play, and produce.

No cuts among those listed.

It will all be merit-based. If the younger guys play better, Freddie's out. I love him but you can't hang onto sentimentality and sadly, he's close to the end.

The only one listed I see getting cut is Roscoe Parish v2.0.

Why do people care about fred jackson so much? Yes he is likable, but who cares. He's very old and his production can be easily replaced. That's the only thing that matters. He should have been cut years ago.

Fred Jackson at 34 is still a better RB than Brown or Dixon. Is the idea to fill the roster with the better players, or the younger ones?

^ I dont think that is true.

Easily replaced? You people have the worst memories imaginable. When the team has a 3rd and short Fred gets the ball. Ask the Bears' Conte if Fred still has it. People care because he has earned it.

Fred always gets hurt too. He's good for maybe 600 yards a season. Easily replaced.

Fair enough, but I can't agree.
