Marvez has an interesting article today about an Achievement Metrics Seminar that was held at the Combine this week.  I linked it because it mentions Marshawn Lynch as the "newest poster child for criminal behavior" and that he had a considerably higher risk of future arrests or suspensions than his peers.

Luckily for the Bills this type of data was not available for the teams during the 2007 draft.  How likely was it to effect the Bills in making a determination on Lynch?  I guess we'll never know.

I know this is getting old but he has announced that he is retiring.  Given that he resided in the Bills division it is a bit more relevent.  This gives the Jets $13MM in cap space, which they desperately needed.  They also have to give Green Bay a 3rd round pick this year while they get back a 7th rounder pick in 2010. 

My question is was the Jets pickup of Brett Favre a complete failure and does this set that team back because they have no viable for a QB option for 2009?  Does this better position the Bills within their division for 2009?  I would have to think we are at least the Jets equal, maybe even better after FA and the Draft.  I don't think the Jets, minus some restructuring of contracts and outright releases, will have the cap space to go after quality players. 

Overall, I think this will prove to be a benefit for the Bills in 2009.
