Ok…so seeing Vince Young and Matt Leinart on this list legit blew my mind as I totally forgot their career farewell tours had a stop here. Who would have thought watching the absolute epic 2005 National Championship game with Young, Leinart, and Bush that they would all make stops here as shells of their former college glory on farewell tours of disappointing careers.

This isn't baseball where some HR hitter leaves and suddenly that team loses a bunch of HR's unless they speciffically bring people in to make up for them because those are individual feats, not team feats. This is a team sport where TD's are a function of the 11 guys on the field doing their jobs. Just because a player leaves does not automatically mean the team is no longer capable of still scoring those TD's that "departed". When we step on the field, there will be 11 guys on it just like last year. Our best players are all returning and we lost the Ghost of Cooper and Mack Hollins who combined to avg just 4.3 rec per game. I am pretty sure between Keon healthy again and no longer splitting time, Kincaid and Samuel healthy, the additions of Palmer and Moore that we can safely say the group we are putting on the field is capable of making up for that minimal lost production and the TD's too. And as far as the rushing TD's...we have a great OL, a tank of a QB who is the most dangerous runner at QB in the redzone maybe in league history, and a great RB room...of course that is going to result in a lot of ground TD's, and it should, as its a much lower risk and higher percentage play then trying to throw in a short field deep in the redzone. Having at least 30 scores on the ground and 30 passing is like every team and coaches wet dream. So for me...I am not personally concerned about what left or how many of those we scores came on the ground.

7 career pass yards 🤣

I don't look at it that way. I look at it as , He was the quarterback at the time the drought ended. 😉

Come on bro lol...you started the discussion because you disagree with an opinion I shared (which is fine and fair). Then you continued to keep it going (also fair and kind of the point to a discussion), but got to the point it made me quit the discussion because it was starting to get silly and off the rails. And I left it with an agree to disagree as there wasn't really anywhere else for the convo to go. But now you come back with this sort of poorest me post? Lol...no offense, but thats a bit much I will give you this though, this was pretty funny and I legit laughed, so kudos on that

After age 27 is where you usually see a pretty quick dropoff at RB regardless of wear and tear. Peak seasons of a RB are usually between the ages of 24 and 26. For historical context, even Thurman Thomas had a drop off at age 27 going from 4.8 ypc to 3.7 ypc. Cook's brother's best years were when he was 25 and 26 before being cut when he was 27 despite coming off a pro bowl season. The Vikings who are very analytics driven could see first hand the decline in speed. The Jets in all their brilliance couldn't. Maybe James Cook can defy the odds after next season but I'd be fine with another team taking that gamble.

Tyrod took us to the playoffs breaking the 17-year drought

This was one of my favorite parts in the whole thing. Dude was really like "c'monnnnn it's just a little ole' 7th" 😄

Love these insight videos! Excited about these guys. Hairston and Landon Jackson are my favorite picks. Expect both of them to contribute this year. Gotta say, the opening?? Beane, drop it already. Didn’t realize he was that thin skinned. WGR guys have opinions and I happen to agree with them, WR is important.

Oh he is WAAAY better than DeAndre Swift. And I disagree he isn't a difference maker without gaping holes. The whole point about Cook is he makes the most of holes that are not gaping because he has elite vision. Did he have some runs last year where the Bills line just blew guys off the ball and he exploded through untouched? Yep. But he had multiple runs in that 8 to 20 yard bracket where a back with less vision is stopped at the line, or for a gain of one. While you are right he isn't a great pass blocker (nor is Ray Davis mind you, that's why Ty does it) if the Bills end up going from Cook to Davis that is a significant downgrade at the position. Normally I'd be like "meh, it's a downgrade at running back, who cares?" but the fact is until this offense gets better at generating explosive plays in the pass game outside of scramble drill those explosive runs are going to matter. He will play the season. 100%. He won't be here for OTAs. He won't be here for mandatory minicamp at a guess. He might not show up day 1 for camp. But by the tail of end of camp Cook will be here, he will be practicing and he will be ready for the season.

I think Edwards will walk after this year. The thing that stopped him getting good FA money when he left the Rams was injury. He has always been a good NFL starting guard, but he struggled staying healthy in his time there. If he plays a full year in 2025 to back up a full year in 2024 and continues to be a kind of 7/10 most weeks type performer he will go to the highest bidder next spring and the Bills would probably be looking at about a 5th round comp in value (obviously depending what else they do). The Bills will then either extend or use the RFA tag on Alec Anderson and let him and Tylan Grable have a competition for that spot at a guess. It is why Chase Lundt is a very interesting selection. While the Bills have a settled OL group this year there is potential for some movement next year and I think they see Lundt as a guy who could shift inside and compete or at least offer depth at guard. McGovern I think will stay and I think his number will come in around $10m AAV.

Weird that you cant follow math. 76% of Offensive TDs is quite explicit for most. Of course a TD is still worth 6 points. So for Alpha Dude - 76% of 6 point Offensive TDs in 2024 were scored by Josh, RBs, and departed WR.

I'd go with Fitz. I like the idea of having a really smart guy there for Josh to sit next to and review plays. Also, if a backup has to come in, I want someone who can fire up the team and crowd. The Gunslinger mentality. 😁 Tyrod, Bledsoe and the rest just seem boring. 😂

Did we give Bernard and Shakir signing bonus money already or not? If we didn't and no money towards the new contract is allocated towards the player until next year then your line of thinking makes sense. However, we both know that's not the case and the contract actually starts in many ways this season, which would include any CAP savings we get from it. Oh, and extending Cook would give us more CAP savings this season than any of our other extensions.

Yes, he plays only 50% of snaps. But that's what we do with him here. Other teams may see a bigger role for him. And they may look at it is a net positive more than a negative because not only will he be 26 at the point of signing, he will have less wear and tear than most 26 year old Running Backs. Bills fans like to focus only on the negatives on the scouting report, usage in our system and pass blocking abilities (or lack thereof) to argue he should make less than market value. While ignoring the positives like age, wear and tear, stats, big plays at big times, speed, elusiveness, etc. For every RB (or any player for that matter), you can find negative things. They still get paid. Guys like McCaffrey and Barkley have had multiple serious injuries and are older than Cook. Kamara is at 12.5 and while he does stay on the field more, he is 29 and has had injuries. He also wasn't a great pass blocker in the beginning and grew into becoming better at it. 10m is the number 30 year old Aaron Jones is paid. There's no way James Cook is paid the same as Aaron Jones at 30 years old. 10-12m might be *your* max for what you'd be willing to pay him for his role in Buffalo. But I guarantee you, that's not what he'll be signing for. Whether that's here or elsewhere. Your absolute max price is about 500k to 1m less than what I'd expect the low number to be if he has another season like last year - based on recent contracts for the position and the continual rise in cap. Everyone? You mean this season? Bc I can think of a number of people who have left us for more money elsewhere over the years. Tremaine Edmunds, Gabe Davis, Harrison Phillips, Leonard Floyd, Jordan Phillips, Shaq Lawson, even guys like Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson left when someone offered them slightly more money than what we'd pay. The RB position is a different situation too. Often times you've got one chance to really cash in. As once a RB hits 30, they're more often than not the same player.

McD keeping it real ..

Seems that way. I come here to distract me from the headaches of everyday life and was only getting a headache arguing with him. I tried the same tactic with my doctor when he told me my LDL's were high so I should eat less meat and I said "we're going to have to agree to disagree."

Haha the comments have TSW vibes

A team that’s won 23 of its last 25 and had a great offseason is fading?

Bahaha still reeling from your blunder yesterday I see 😂. The desperation and free rent I have in your head makes my nipples dance. Never change boo 😘

The answer is No. Dudes name crops up every single year or two and the Bills always pass . Disappointment on another team and rinse and repeat

Yea I thought he was solid too but then they also benched him pretty much when the weather got messy

Bears vs Packers — Reformation bowl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformation I’d be stunned if we don’t see a Da Bears skit in SNL either this week or next in referencing the Pope.

Not sure I agree about them not getting a fair shot. They all played a lot, outside of Manuel. Tyrod also had some pretty good olines. Those olines right before Allen took over were pretty good.
