Winning a Super Bowl will do that, as well as being a good player at the most rare position in the sport.

Joe Flacco is elite. Just ask him

Yet he is about to sign one of the biggest QB contracts in history
- ImThatGuy

And Joe Flacco is the highest paid QB, another guy that has a ring because of his defense

and while you're at it, ask him how many times he thanked jacoby jones?

i'm not a huge manuel fan and was surprised they drafted him... but they hedged their bet by dropping down and getting a 2nd rounder (Alonso)

why I was surprised at the manuel pick...

buddy nix from bills draft luncheon, 2013:

--On the qb draft class

The jury's still out on this group (of quarterbacks,) but they do enough good things--if you do what they do best--you can win with them.


--On the perceived meteoric rise of EJ Manuel

I really don't pay attention to that stuff so I didn't know he was making a move.

He can run the football. This league it's kind of a fad deal. I'm not saying
- Michael Pachla[his running the football] is a fad, I'm saying the league does that, but it always comes back to being able to throw the football in this league to win and to score.

If you got a guy who can run it, first he has to be able to make NFL throws.

I haven't seen him make NFL throws.

It was smokescreens. Manuel was their guy all along IMO

You mean this Joe Flacco?

"In March, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco created a stir when he became the highest-paid player in NFL history. Nearly five months later, he's not even the second-highest paid player in the league.

Since Flacco signed his six-year, $120.6 million deal, he was surpassed by the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers in late April and then by the Atlanta Falcons' Matt Ryan on Thursday.

Here's how the highest-paid list stands now: Rodgers (an average of $22 million), Ryan ($20.75 million) and Flacco ($20.1 million). "

Michael Pachla: HOF'er Brian Trottier could be joining the Sabres as an assistant coach

Hall of Famer

First class on and off the ice


given the way many Sabres have behaved off ice over the last ten years, this is just what the team needs to help turn the page

how prophetic that nix would say he hasn't seen manuel make "nfl throws"...

fwiw...I think this year will be the year when we can really see what manuel's made of...

that being said, i'm of the belief that Hackett will be more important

EJ will be an average NFL QB this season, which will be a big improvement over what we have seen for the past 10 plus years

I'm not a huge Manuel guy either, but other QB's that have had success have had big accuracy concerns. Dalton and Flacco come to mind.

Both of them have had some of the worst games I have watched a QB play. You are right though, Hackett will be key. They have speed, they have guys that can run after the catch. They need to get it in theior hands

Dan Marino averaged 15 Int / season
Jim Kelly averaged 17 INT season

Both had around a 60% comp %, neither won the big one

Elite QB's have a Comp % of around 65%, EJ is at 58.8%
If EJ can't break the 60% mark, they better draft a QB next year in the first round.....oh wait...NVM.

Or you take one in the 2nd.... Which can be done. Dalton, Foles, Wilson, Brees, Brady, Kaepernick; All non 1st rd playoff QBs.

I was thinking when we moved up in the 3rd it was for Wilson

then it was t. j graham
