Good post; however, I disagree. Darby/Ragland/Watkins are all 24 and under and still on their rookie contracts. Darby had a good rookie season and followed that with a subpar 2nd season. He's unproven. Ragland never even started a game in the NFL. Unproven. Watkins, when healthy, was very effective. His talent is not up for debate, and he's still 24yrs old; not even in his prime yet. If what we want to do is get rid of proven players, get rid of Kyle Williams; get rid of Eric Wood; get rid of LoJax; don't sign Andre Holmes; get rid of Jerry Hughes; why is Streater on this team? Why in the world is Ducasse on this team?! Ragland is traded but we have Ducasse rotating with Miller? Ducasse is garbage. Complete, unequivocal garbage.

So whats happening now isnt present tense?

Is this sarcasm? A proven 3rd stringer sounds like an oxymoron. Miller was solid last year. And now hes rotating with Ducasse who is garbage. What does that say? Miller was solid last year. And now hes rotating with Ducasse who is garbage. What does that say?

Another thing: what does a 2019 4th round pick do for us exactly. Fine, lets say Ragland still was not recovered from his injury. He doesnt have to start day 1. If anything he would be depth at an already weak position. The guy was the starting ILB for an elite Alabama defense. We cant use that talent at any point in the next 2yrs? His salary cap hit was minor.

This is how I feel about it. Lynn shouldve been named HC just like Schwartz shouldve been made HC years ago. We're constantly chasing our tail. That being said im not giving up on MCD. He may still be a good choice but this may take a while. I felt that we were so close to being a 10-6 wild card team. I just want playoffs at this point. One time.

Out of all the guys we have traded and given up on hes the 1 player i wish we can trade. And of course we cant. Typical.

No i get it. I want to know their vision, but if their vision involves getting rid of the young talent, id probably consider other visions.

Yup.

Not really. Like i said before above: when we hired the new GM and manager we obviously didnt do a good job of matching the personnel talent to the coach/GM. One thing is to cut aging veterans and purge the roster from the top down but to trade away the young pieces? We are setting ourselves back. I hope im wrong.

I think my main point is as follows: Darby, Watkins, Ragland are all 24 and under. Not even in their prime yet. All of them were 1st/2nd round picks. If I have a manager/GM interview with me and tell me that his idea of "cleaning house" is getting rid of the young players, I'd have a slight issue with that. In my opinion, an NFL franchise can't operate in this manner. This team wasn't 2-14. With Rex Ryan (who is a crap coach), we were a .500 team. Did ownership ever ask the potential new GM what he thought of the players on the team? Did that question ever come up?

Watkins, Darby, Ragland are all under 24. No sure how theyre dead weight. But instead we extend Eric Wood? I love Wood but hes no longer what he used to be. Haha. Go for it. I lost steam.

You would hope that players selected in the first 2 rounds have enough talent to survive a coaching change.

1. We gave up a 2015 1st round pick and 2015 4th round pick to move up and get Watkins. He is gone 3yrs later and missed like 30% of his games. 2. Cyrus was our 2nd round pick in 2014. He is an abomination. 3. Our first pick in 2015 was 2nd round pick Darby. He is gone 2 years later. 4. Our 2nd pick in 2015, 3rd rounder John Miller, is barely a starter and may get beat out by Ducasse, who is horrible. 5. Our 3rd pick in 2015, 5th rounder Karlos Williams isn't even in the NFL anymore. So to recap: We missed on our 2014 1st round pick; we gave up our 2015 1st round pick; we missed on our 2014 2nd round pick; we missed on our 2015 2nd round pick; we missed on our 2015 3rd round pick. The 2014-2015 draft classes have set this team back at least 5 years. A blind monkey could have thrown darts at the draft board and had more success.

This franchise is a disaster thats why.

Three players who are 24 and under (2 of which were injured) had little to do with our lack of winning.

This is disgusting. Darby - 2nd round pick in 2015. Gone. Ragland - 2nd round pick in 2015. Gone. Watkins - 1st round pick in 2014 and 2015. Gone LMFAO. Way to build a winner.

I have a RIGHT to apply to Google. Google has a RIGHT to say no thanks to me as long as their decision isnt solely based on race or religion. The Bill of Rights doesnt apply in Kaeps case. You dont have the right to free speech while at work. Full stop. If this was a 1st amendment issue Kaep would've sued the NFL a long time ago.

To be completely fair, Kaep can still make a living in this country; however, nobody has a right to play in the NFL. It, like any other high-paying, high-profile job is a privilege. The second Kaep decided to make a social/political statement, while on the job, he jeopardized that privilege. Call it unfair but its reality.

Again, Kaep is half white. If Kaep comes to buffalo Im ok with it.

Hes half white.

Hard to grade the D this game when they're facing Mallett and Woodrum. But they have been decent overall this entire preseason.

lmao. 2nd Brady reference when referring to Peterman. You guys are killing me.

interesting fact about Peterman in college: "Had the nation’s No. 2 passer rating when pressured at 114.7." With the way this O-line is looking, he's going to b pressured in 80% of his snaps.

Agreed. Pretty much everything his scouting report said he was going to be.

concerning.
