Who are the Buffalo Bills?

CJ Spiller may be the best player on the Buffalo Bills roster, but he has been highly under-utilized

      Last season was very disappointing for Bills fans everywhere and you can look for that trend to continue in 2013.  The fact that Buddy Nix was retained as GM has a clear correlation with Buffalo's lousy draft this year.  In the 1st round, the Bills selected....EJ Manuel(cough, CHOKE, cough) while also pulling in Clemson's Jonathon Meeks(pause....LONG sigh). I actually liked the picks of Robert Woods, Kiki Alonso and but they missed with virtually every other draft pick. Marquise Goodwin is another version of TJ Graham, while Duke Williams will have a very tough time adjusting to the pro game on AND off the field. Add in a TE who is coming off several college injuries and you have an underachieving draft class. I mean, you could have signed TWO of your draft picks as UDFA's, so there are two wasted picks right there!!! I am not even a Bills fan but I have to express pure frustration when I see people who are in charge of a multi-million dollar franchise make less than average decisions.

Stevie Johnson will have help with Robert Woods stepping in a WR

     With the loss of Ryan Fitzpatrick the Bills have lost their leading signal caller, so who gets the nod in the 2014 opener? Rookie EJ Manuel? All because he performed well in a bad weathered workout? PLEASE! When you draft a QB in the AFC East, the standard should be "my QB will be able to out-perform Tom Brady to win the division." Not only does that include a mentality of drafting quality pass-rushers to reach the Patriots QB, it includes bringing in a QB who can keep Mr. Brady off the field. Does what I'm saying make some sort of sense?



     Keeping Fred Jackson to go along with CJ Spiller was a great decision for the Bills because a two back system is the best way to keep your offense smooth(yes, even Adrian Peterson needs a break...to keep from tearing an ACL on a random run). But unlike Chan Gailey, Doug Marrone must quickly accept the fact that Jackson should be Spiller's backup. CJ averaged a RIDICULOUS 6 yards per carry while Fred only shelled out 3.8 yard per touch. In the NFL, explosiveness is everything and it seems that CJ Spiller has that part nailed down.  And although I have high praise for the RB position, I still expect the Bills to finish with a 7-9 record or worse with EJ Manuel behind center. Don't expect to see a rookie season even CLOSE to the likes of RGIII, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck.
