Oh come on. That’s an absolutely ridiculous statement. Because if we “commies” (grow up) did give examples of what we consider good, you clearly disagree anyway. But I’ll go. I believe (which means you of course don’t) that the Women’s Health Protection Act was “good.” You will argue it is bad and that the states - including backwards ones like ***** OK - should decide what women’s rights are. Again, that’s one example, and one that you clearly disagree with being “good” as you are better with the fact that women who are raped in Oklahoma and who become pregnant are forced to have the child or travel to a less 1850’s state to have an abortion. Your point is invalid. Just like mine would be if I said republicans can’t show anything “good” because that adjective is 100% subjective and based on one’s own political views and opinions.

Josh would have 100% dove on that fumbled ball in the Super Bowl.

Yeah I was listening to a podcast with him and he said he actually had Benford on his DPOY ballot last season (I think 5th place, but still). I think any reasonable person would consider Benford and Shakir to be home run picks given where we took them.

Sorry - I've read only the first page of this thread, so I don't if others have talked about what I say here. We've had an ongoing discussion, years, about how the Bills need a a true playmaker or two, someone in addition to Josh, most likely on defense. They need a Chris Jones or a great edge, or a really special DB or linebacker, a guy who is the highest paid guy at his position, like the Cowboys linebacker wants to be. And we're frustrated, because the Bills rarely go after those guys. I've been saying that McDermott's view of the team is that he wants great all-round athletes, buys who are superb competitors and who have really good physical skills. Good speed, good strength, a good collection of skills - all purpose guys. Spencer Brown can pass protect and run block and get downfield and use power. He's not the best in the league at any of those things, but he's really good at all of them. So, when the time comes to talk contract, two interesting things happen. First, if the guy is what I described - really talented and is a great contributor to how the team wants to play, the Bills extend him. That's what we saw this off-season. Second, if he is good but less likely to be a core player for the future, the guy goes to the free agent market. Those guys are rarely big successes on their next teams, because they aren't big-success kinds of guys. Spencer Brown is great for how the Bills play, but if he went to another team, it's not likely he'd ever become a true All-Pro kind of star because, well, the Bills aren't looking for All-pro kinds of guys (other than QB, and they got one of those). (And for those of who want to argue that Spencer Brown may in fact turn out to be a true All-Pro, I won't argue. But if a guy they like has that potential, that's just another reason why the Bills extended him.) And that is why free agents who leave Buffalo don't become stars someplace else. The process, yes, the process the Bills have in place to manage football personnel is very, very good. The roster keeps getting better and better. There's plenty of discussion to be had about how the Bills draft, but I don't have any complaints at all about how they manage free agents, coming in or going out.

Just so you don't have to look it up, both those guys were UDFA this year that were cut. The Davis was cut back in July and Hoyland on August 2nd.

I think if you’re that hammered, you have to let others be the judge…..but my money is on you here. I mean, you put two whole sentences together there! You’re clearly better than that!

Fair.

He didn’t draft any of those, except Mahomes. the previous GM, John Dorsey, was fired after the Mahomes draft, as a result of a power struggle where the now current GM, Brett Veach, and Reid both wanted Mahomes. to me, that’s enough to give Veach credit for Mahomes. But that’s it. So no, it’s just one.

Fields is good, but he's no EJ Manuel.

Ah the good old days, steroids for everyone.

I didn't say Shakirs deal was "reasonable" because it makes "fans happy" - It was reasonable because Shakirs projected market as a FA was much higher than what he signed for. Those deals are much easier to get done, and yes, being a 5th round pick on a rookie deal brings a lot of injury risk, so there is incentive to sign early at a discount for stability. But that is beside the point, the point is Shakir's deal was easy to get done because it was a good deal on both sides. If Shakir was demanding $20M per year, he would still be in limbo the same as Cook. Point is - Bills have tried to extend Cook, and Cook started asking for $15M, at least publicly. Beane has stated their have been offers and they are not there yet on both sides. So the term "reasonable" is in direct reference to what the FO deems reasonable based on how they value him and their forward looking cap plans. And reports are that they are now closer, if true, that coupled with the Rams deal that just happened, I think we could see this resolved soon. End of the day, Shakir wasn't demanding more than the FO was offering, so the deal got done. Its just that simple as to why one was done, and easily, and the other is in a Hold In status.

Shtupp is paying that caller. It's a plot to drive Parker into a 'Section 8', and then Shtupp hosts the show solo. We always knew he was the duplicitous type. 🤨

He really has no choice but to play it off as long as Hill is on the team.

I would have absolutely LOVED Diggs to sign with Miami just to make this idiot stutter and stammer even more. He's such a weak leader and his team shows it.

Madness that Tyreek’s end of the season comments are being played off as nothing by McDaniels.

Yes. League suspensions allow that. There have been a few reports on Hoecht coming out of training camp. He's also allowed to play in preseason games. I would bet he will.

Simple. Shakir's agent and Beane were close in price so the deal was done quickly. Same with Rousseau, Bernard, and Benford. All took semi hometown discounts in exchange for financial security. Beane and the Cook camp obviously weren't close in price. Plus, it's always trickier with a RB given the shelf life of the position.

Chargers are cursed confirmed

It's so easy that John Dorsey selected Mahomes, Hill, Kelce and Jones.

He should get Lamar’s mom to be his agent.
