NFL, Buffalo Bills, Marcus Stroud

Over the past decade, the Buffalo Bills have done much of nothing.

Currently in the longest playoff drought in franchise history, the Bills finally have a reason to be optimistic.

After finishing 7-9 last season, the Bills have gone right to work, trading for Jacksonville Pro Bowl DT Marcus Stroud. The three-time Pro Bowler is looking to get his career on the right track, and he couldn't be on a better team.

Stroud spent the last two seasons battling to get back into his All-Pro form. The Bills have spent the last decade trying to find their form, Ironic? I think so.

If Stroud can return to the Stroud of four years ago, the Bills could just maybe end up in the playoffs.

    As you stated in this Stroud has been fighting the injury bug the past 2 seasons, which makes me alittle aprehensive and nervous. We have great depth in the middle now though.

    If he does not regain his probowl form he should still be a solid player. Even an average Marcus Stroud can command attention from an opposing offensive line, which could free up Schobel and Kelsay on the outside. But lets try and be optimistic here, and hope we see the Marcus of old.

    You really just asked if Marcus Stroud is a QB? Was that a joke, or am I just that dense?

    Trading for former Jacksonville Pro Bowl DT Marcus Stroud was a solid move! The Bills need to draft a top CB in round 1 and sign a WR and this team is set for a play-off run...but only if JP Losman is the starting QB !!!
