The biggee is who is going to be making the personnel decisions.
I have hope that they are finally looking for someone qualified to evaluate and put out a winning football team. The AFC East we have Belichick, Parcells, luckily we have the clowns that run the Jets...... but the Bills need someone who can build a program of winning football.
I feel a little energized as a Bills fan that there is the possibily of the mess getting fixed. I have decided to attend the Dolphins game afte Thanksgiving. I was just going to eat those tickets (as well as the other 2 home games)
well, they won a superbowl with Jim McMahon (78.2 career passer rating) and went to a Super Bowl with Rex Grossman (70.2 rating). So, I repeat, it's not only about the QB.
No, it's not only about the QB, but, how many teams have won with shitty QBs?
How much do the odds improve with a great QB?
You have NO idea what you're talking about. I would define a great QB with a rating above 90, or for arguments sake let's say 85. Here is a list of Super Bowl winning QB's with their career ratings:
Starr 80.5
Namath 65.5
Dawson 82.6
Unitas 78.2
Stabach 83.4
Bob Greise 77.1
Bradshaw 70.4
Plunkett 67.5
Montana 92.3
Theismann 77.4
Simms 78.5
D. Williams 69.4
Hostetler 80.5
Rypien 78.9
Aikman 81.6
Young 96.8
Favre 86.1
Elway 79.9
Warner 93.6
Dilfer 70.2
Brady 93.6
B Johnson 82.5
B. Roelthisberger 90.5
P. Manning 95.3
Eli Manning 77.6
So, out of 26 SB Winning Qb's, only 7 have a rating above 85. This is 27%.
Let me reiterate for the ones who know not what they speak. IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT THE QB. Do your homework son.
I agree with you. In football its all about everyone on offence or defence excuting. The QB can execute perfectly, but if the O line commits to many penatlies receivers don't run correct routes, the offence will not click.

I'm not going to check. but I am thinking that during their super bowl years the QB rating was much higher. I am a cowboy fan so I know Aikman's rating suffered at the beginning of his career and at the end when he was battling injuries. I am going to stand by my original point that that everyone has to do their job in order for a QB to be successful.
On the Bills coaching, I was hoping Shannahan comes to Dallas. Maybe Jones tries to get Cowher. Baring a miracle I see the coaches ushered out at season's end.

I heard the Bills are looking hard at Tim Tebow. This is a desperate move by a floundering franchise but if it works, they might avoid becoming the LA Mexicans next year.

LA Mexicans? Reallly?
Glad you bumped this thread ... it shows how ABSOLUTELY right I am with regard to needing a top notch QB in TODAY'S NFL.
Chalk up another superbbowl with two of the best QBs in the game.

The Bills cant afford to part with any picks. In fact, they need to gain picks.
This year they should draft all Linemen (both sides) and linebackers... Unless by some miracle Sam Bradford falls to the Bills' draft slot.
no matter what we are lined up for a top 3 pick. Then we can draft the QB Locker or someone else who emerges. After that point, the Bills can think about signing/acquiring vets.
If an existing Bill isnt playing QB this season, it needs to be someone they get for free (Culpepper).
McNabb, Vick, etc do nothing but stunt any chance the Bills have at growth. Way, way, way more holes on the roster than at QB. They need to start looking at 3 seasons from now.
Dont worry, the Bills will still sell out every game this season (except the one in Toronto). Its the best party in sports.
Of the 3 remaining games for the Pats (GB, @Buf, Mia), I think the Bills have the best shot at beating the Pats. We always have trouble up in Orchard Park. Pats may not lose the game, but it'll be close.

Visited Buffalo this past June...went by the stadium....purchased a load of Bills gear....my wife's friend in Buffalo is crediting our effort towards the big opening day win. :twisted: :ugeek:

Gruden got so nervous he hurried up and extended a large contract with MNF
Speaking of Gruden, he is the best color man in the NFL. I think he is more entertaining than Madden ever was..

I'm not into the stats you guys are tossing around but I thought I'd quote myself. 98yrds, 56yrds....Where was this under the coach he didn't like?

enough with the qb arguement already!
I'll stop the QB arguement when you stop changing your user ID?
(Honestly, It's changed at least 3 times this morning ... is it just me?)

I miss the glory days of the 90s.
Ill be very surprised if they win 5 games. I do think its by design though and they are planning on drafting a franchise QB next year.
they have no chance in hell playing the in AFC east but i still love em
There's always The Anchor Bar!!!
if the bears are out of it, that would be freakin awesome. im going to buffalo later this week...gonna hit up duffs and gloat about my 2nd team
You're a Duff's guy? They are good too. The only place I ever had a bad wing in Buffalo actually was at Rich Stadium. Kind of surprising to me.
