Bills pulling off another trade

I guess it all depends on what Buffalo gave up. One would think that they gave up a late round pick(s) for him. The chances of finding another Brady in the draft are slim/none so getting a guy with the tools to be a marginal starter in the NFL is probably more than they would find in the 5th or 6th round anyway. 

 

5th (from Tampa) and a 7th round (Bills) for Vikings 6th and Cassel. Doesn't seem like that bad of a trade. 

 

I don't expect they gave up much.

 

Still, pinning their hopes on Matt Cassel?  Oy :unsure:

They didn't give up a lot for him. But given Rex's history of QB development, I'm assuming he needs/wants someone with starting experience since every other QB he's been near has ended up looking like a train wreck.

I suspect Cassel will too.

 

E J Manuel already does.

I feel for EJ Manuel. He is already suffering from a lack of confidence and now they are trading for Cassel who likely will be the starter if he plays halfway decent.  Hard for a young player to do well when he constantly has to be looking over his shoulder.

Cassel looked pretty bad in Minny.

 

 

Yeah true I guess, but I always have a hard time just accepting that these people are gonna be bad/are bad. I understand that miracles don't happen, but if he can help Manuel it could be worth something.

Anything's possible, but I don't think anyone should set their expectations too high.

Bills were a decent team before Rex arrived, he needs to show immediate improvement and probably even make the playoffs, which the Bills haven't done in a long time.

 

People forget they didn't actually fire their coach.

 

Doug Marrone thought he was such hot stuff that he opted out of his contract thinking he could get one of the numerous other jobs that were open, but they all turned him down and now he's demoted to a coordinator.

 

(wonder if he feels like an idiot right now) :lol:

Who? Canada?

 

 

Yeah.  That would have been quite the bidding war, there :unsure:

 

 

The Browns guaranteed over $6 million to a 35 yo QB with half the starts as Cassel. The Bills gave up a backup special teamer and a half mill roster bonus to run Cassel through camp and decide what they want to do next. It would have cost more had they waited for him to be a FA.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
