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!
A poster I trust on another site who has a source said a couple of trade names being tossed around at OBD. One being bowe. Another being a "current starting qb" my guess is Vick. And the third is a LBer
Which site? TBD? The range? BBMB? I haven't seen anything anywhere about a QB.
I can't speak to anyone else's Merrits on here outside of the people I know personally. Between the multiple Bowe posts I can tell you there is a lot of info floating around that I don't feel is accurate based off of what I've heard. To answer your question, without giving too much info, I believe wholly that Fitz has lost his locker room and the front office. Chan has seen solid play out of Fitz so his quest is for consistency. I will say after finding some info out regarding the validity of the QB trade they were kicking around, it is looking like this season will live and die with Fitz. I don't foresee us pulling the trigger. I know that QB is the teams top offseason priority.
Qb has been the top prority for a dozen years. The problem is, and has been, the so called experts in the front office and their lack of skill at identifying talent, especially at the qb position.
Did anyone here actually believe Fitz was going to come into Buffalo and be that frachise qb ??????, well the experts at OBD did. It is mindboggling how inept the people are who have been running this team.
The most importabt position and we are always running with a 2nd rate player since Kelly and we don't even need to get into all the f-ups with the other positions over the years.
Terrible coaching and stupid front office decisions ruined Losman and Edwards.
Not saying they would have become the 'franchise" guy but they had some talents. More then Fitz.
i actually don't think the billls did think Fitz was the answer. i think they thought he was a good back up (which he is...i'd take a guy who could be .500 on average as my back up every single day).
I made an analogy to vikram pandit. People knew he wasn't the guy to lead citigroup, but once everything started to fall apart, he was the least of their concerns. once the bank stablized, it was clear his lack of ability was going to inhibit growth. But they needed someone to sheppard them through that process.
That is exactly who fitz was. i think the bills looked to give edwards a try. he came highly regarded, and like the current incarnation of fitz, had shown flashes of decent play. And when it was obvious he wasn't the guy and htat the team as a whole was going ot take some time, they tried to just push him in there. I agree with it. i think the bills have found their offensive style, they have a line that can play well and a good running game. now is the time to find a young QB with intangibles and who can manage a game.
as for the inside info, if the guy does have inside info, it's nice to know that the front office is thinking like the rest of us for a change. because for 12 years, i've seen most of this board accurately dissect our needs and watch the front office pick other players.
