Lots of work for Bills this off-season - RochesterHomePage.net
"Yes, Fitz was one of the more pleasant surprises this season, tossing 23 touchdown passes in 13 starts. And, yes, he was able to do what his shaky predecessor, Trent "Captain Checkdown" Edwards, wasn’t able to – namely overcome the deficiencies of a suspect offensive line and get the ball out to his playmakers. But when you examine the numbers more closely, you realize that even with the occasional excitement Fitz provided, the Bills offense wasn’t very good."

"They're going to try [to implement a new rookie wage scale], but I think it's too late to really fix this year's draft because it's one where it may take until March to be able to do it. Even though what you're talking about is four to five hundred million dollars in guarantees in addition to what would be in the normal rookie pool in the future. I think the players will at least collect that money, accept that, and then worry about 2012."
