Coast's Thoughts on the Bills and the Offseason

-Coast

I know it has been a while since the last time I posted on here. Basically, the Bills offseason moves have been as uninteresting as humanly possible and quite frankly, I have never cared less about the Bills in my life. Anyways, I still have some opinions on some recent happenings with the Bills that I want to voice...especially after reading the non sense that I have read on this blog recently.

First of all, I need to make some comments on the Bills offseason. Anyone who thinks the Bills number one need is anything but quarterback is completely lost. Don't give me this linebacker is more important than quarterback garbage. All good teams have quarterbacks unless they have a defense that is ridiculously good (ie. Jets/Ravens) and let's face it, Sanchez and Flacco are a lot better than anyone we got. The rest of the teams in the playoffs this season have pro bowl caliber QBs (Rivers, Manning, Brady, Palmer, Romo, McNabb, Favre, Rodgers, Warner, Brees). So please give it up with this "QB isn't that important" crap because I am sick of hearing it. We need to draft one in the first round, period. I don't care if it is Clausen or Bradford. We are going to suck in 2010 as it is so let's take a QB with our first pick and hope he's a stud. No one knows if Clausen or Bradford are going to be good or are going to be busts. Yeah, Pike or that other bum from the MAC could be good but I am sick of taking chances on mid round talent (Edwards).

In the offseason, we can't cut Fitzpatrick. He sucks, yeah, but he at least has some experience and can serve as a backup quarterback. I want them to rid themselves of the Dick Jauron clone Trent Edwards as soon as possible though. Give me Bradford, Fitz and Gibran and I will take my chances that Bradford pans out and is a stud come 2012.

Our next biggest need is offensive line. We have 0 starting caliber tackles. A legitimate argument can be made to take a tackle in the first round, although it would be hard to justify after trading Peters. I think LT at 9 is a no brainer if our QB situation wasn't so terrible to be honest with you.

We also need a WR and TE real bad. On most teams, WR and TE would be number one needs, but since our franchise is so pathetic and every position can be a number one need, WR and TE rank in the middle of the pack somewhere.

Defensively, cut Kelsay, he is overpaid and sucks. Don't resign any of our bum line backers either. The Bills will instantly become better once Keith Ellison is off the team. We got Poz and Mitchell (who is mediocre, I know) and then we need to hope our first round gem Maybin pans out as an outside LB in a 3-4 scheme. We do need another outside LB and some serious depth so we don't have Bryan freaking Scott playing linebacker again. I hope there are some good free agents to give us depth...I don't feel like looking up who the free agents are because this franchise isn't worth my time. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a LB in the 2nd round either. Hopefully the Bills draft Brandon Spikes and he chooses number 51...at least my Takeo jersey will no longer be obsolete.

I hated the Gailey hiring, everyone knows that. It was another typical boring move by the Bills. I have never heard of an assistant that this guy has brought in. I guess I have to give Chan the Man the benefit of the doubt because of his incredible success as an NFL and college head coach and assistant.

As far as Brad Butler retiring, I don't blame him at all. If he played for any other NFL team, he probably wouldn't retire. There is only so much one person can take of losing and pathetic management. Seriously, imagine if you worked for a boss like Ralph Wilson...would you really want to keep working for him? He doesn't care about winning at all. It is like working for a sales company for a boss who doesn't care about how much you sell, so when other companies see your resume and lack of sales they won't give you the time of day, thus ruining your career. That is what the Bills do. Who knows how good players that have wasted their time playing for the Bills really could have been. Lee Evans? Dude has played with Bledsoe in the twilight of his career, Losman, Holcombe, Edwards, Fitzpatrick. Does it get any worse? How do you go that long without having a real quarterback? Why weren't the Bills in the Jay Cutler sweepstakes? A young, quality QB was right there on the trade market, but no, the Bills were satisfied with Trent freaking Edwards. What a joke, Serioulsly, this team makes me sick.

  1. There is no point in doing anything more than casually acknowledging the Bills existence until they either make the playoffs somehow, miraculously, or Ralph dies. Nothing is going to happen between now and either one of those two events happening.

  4. Anybody who believes that LB or any other position other than QB should be the Bills main focus is crazy. Which seemed to be the point. If they're not going to take Clausen or Bradford then don't even waste a 7th rd pick on LeFeouver.

    Trading Lynch would be to quote Tim Duncan "retarded." Fred Jackson is nice but Lynch is the better player. If he drops 10 lbs and hires a driver he'll be set.

    Any position other than CB could be considered a need. Teams can get starters at other positions in mid rds but chances are teams can't get a QB after the 1st.

  5. Seriously, why were we not in the Cutler trade market? Did anyone actually think Trent Edwards was going to be good after the Browns game last year?

  7. Edwards never was good. He's been the same fucking QB his his whole soon to be ending NFL career.

    This would be the most retarded thing since Sarah Palin's kid. Tomczak, Fiedler, and Stewart sucked, Thigpen might be the 4th QB in Miami next season.
