We could've made a move for Teddy Bridgewater or Derek Carr easily in my opinion was a great move to get the wide receiver before the quarterback

I think Cassel is a younger version of Orton. Orton in his prime was actually better

I don't see much of a difference...arm strength, maybe?

any particular reason why?...other than "he stinks"

just curious, your dudeness, nothin' personal...

i'm more concerned about the right side of the line at this juncture than I am with the quarterback situation

- Michael Pachla

I think he's a good QB but he has lost something in the last few years.

Honestly I wish we had someone like Tim Murray for the bills you know he would not (frank) around not having a quarterback


I still remember the day where I thought we were going to draft Russell Wilson and we took that bust wide receiver even Russell Wilson himself thought he was going to drafted by the bills that day

- SABRES 89

my main issue is will he be able to manage an offense...he has the weapons but is he smart enough to limit his mistakes?

i'm not looking for the bills to win the super bowl this season, but a good run that ends up with a playoff spot works for me...if they go farther, that's even better

Keep in mind we didn't even take the best wr that was on the board (and don't forget we traded up)

What you're saying is that you're making this your business?

Nope. Just making an observation. And I'm pretty sure I wasn't talking to you anyway.

ok...now I remember...you're right

here's my retort: the bills needed to draft a quarterback after not doing so the previous few years when they really needed one...

they went with the qb-style du jour: the "read option" qb in the mold of colin kapernick

and they hedged their bet by getting an extra pick which they turned into kiko Alonso whom they ended up trading for lesean "20-cent" mccoy
