    Bills don’t need a number 2 receiver

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    We have the premier QB in the NFL on the early side of his prime years.

     

    Our offense passes at the highest rate in the NFL

     

    KC and GB have seen the limitations coming from average 2,3,4 WR's around, arguably, their first ballot HOF QB's

     

    I am a Gabe truther but we still need more firepower to see how far we can go with Josh.

    Who is your Big Splash Player

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Jones is a Rochester native and is on a sinking ship.  Had a taste of "Super Bowl hopes" last year when they were a one loss team for most of the season.  Makes sense!

     

    Somehow, I still feel that it's even more splashy than him.

     

    Putting a$$es in expensive new stadium seats is always a consideration.  They're already "must see" with Josh and company but the new player has to look to be a part of it all when they open the new place.

     

    Gronk will not be there for the new stadium.  Jones probably won't either.  So the splash signing, IMHO,  is the one who looks to have a nice long road ahead.

     

    CMC/Barkley:  both 25

     

     

    Falcons WR Calvin Ridley suspended indefinitely(but at minimum the entire 2022 season) for betting on games

    Yep....he was basically suspended from the time he brought up “mental health issues”.  

     

    Its a shame that “mental health issues” has become a catch-all for “I don’t want to tell you what the issue actually is.”

     

    It diminishes its meaning and credibility for the people who actually have these issues....

    Kinda makes you think the league may have helped ATL put the story forward.  The league is in bed with the gambling industry now....don't hurt business during the season!

    Bills interested in signing Rob Gronkowski, per Tim Graham

    Gronk had me thinking about other aging TEs. I looked up Tony Gonzalez. Holy smokes, he has to be the most durable non QB in NFL history. He missed 2 games in 17 years.

    He got overshadowed by the Gronk phenomenon at the end of his run.  He doesn't get enough credit for his durability and how long he maintained his play at a high level.

    “I kinda like this young buck quarterback. He’s in the Super Bowl now: It’s Joe Burrow, man,” Gronkowski said Tuesday, according to MassLive.com. “I watched him in college. I just love the way he presents himself out on the football field. In the pocket he’s just so calm and he just slings it out on the field.
     

    He named 2 other young QB’s in other interviews 

     

    none was Josh

    He's......not........how do we sayyyyyy......bright.

    Kareem Hunt: Cut candidate. Possible 2022 Bill?

    Not what I asked, but you forgot a couple.. 

     

    Damien Williams

    Raheem Mostert

     

    Also, Shady didn't play in the Superbowl or even the playoffs for the Chiefs. Sony Michele got 2 carries in the Superbowl for 2 yards so if we're counting every back that got any carries in the Superbowl.. well, ok then. I guess we're counting Darrell Henderson Jr. and Samaje Perine too. 

     

     

    So we have 'six' leading rushers out of the last 3 Superbowls.

     

    Rams / Bengals:

    Akers (52 - 2nd) / Mixon (48 - 2nd)

     

    Chiefs / Buccaneers:

    Edwards-Helaire (32 - 1st) / Fournette (4 - 1st)

     

    Chiefs / 49ers

    Damien Williams (Undrafted) / Mostert (undrafted)

     

    You actually had an argument without trying to 'stack the deck'. 4 of the six leading rushers in the last 3 Superbowls had leading rushers that were selected with high round draft picks. 

     

     

    Of course, nothing is black and white. I'm not sure how much you count a leading rusher with 21 yards in the Superbowl and averaging with less than 50 yards a game throughout the playoffs as a good argument to spend a high pick on a RB or that the Bucs didn't spend any draft capital at all on Fournette (and literally, no one offered a 7th round pick for him). 

     

    So we're currently 3/6 used less than a 3rd round of draft capital for the team in the Superbowl.. and we have a pretty good argument that only 2 of those produced at a level that would have been worthwhile and possibly not able to be replaced with a back from ~30 picks later. 

     

    So if we say 50%, there may still be an argument for your case, but I'd say we'd have to look at other capital spent to really make a case that you're more likely to win a Superbowl with a 1st or 2nd round RB over a later round, FA or undrafted RB. Did those teams invest in other places? 

     

     

     

    My argument was never that we had to spend a high draft pick on RB, it was more around improving our running game consisting of 2 3rd rounders that, IMHO, are not our solution for 2022:  a year which we all believe we should go to the SB.  And because our RB's have not developed as such, we are in need at the position with a "win now" supporting roster.  Everyone agrees for the most part that we need to address RB.

     

    One of the ways to address this without taking the gamble with another day 2 guy is to bring in a proven guy.  Like the title says:  Kareem Hunt is a cut candidate.  I am also  in favor of Saquan Barkley.

     

    Stay within those thoughts if you want to keep arguing, but none of your other statements include solutions for the Bills current situation.  

     

     

    What is the BEST pick you would trade for Saquon Barkley?

    In this offense?

     

    Comeback Player of the Year potential.

     

    He has been playing with a bottom 3 OL last 2 years.  Absolute dog sh-t.

     

    Has the entire skillset and knows he has yet to prove out.

     

    He is a "process" player....peak condition,professional, smart, driven.

     

    Whatever the cost turns out to be [within reason] , he will be worth it.

    Quick, what's the 'success' rate of each round? How many players of each round are on the Superbowl teams for the last 3 years? Since you made this statement, I'm sure you have it right at hand. 

    LOL...no I don't have that right at hand, and I am not sure what you're trying to prove, but you are free to google that yourself.  Talking about RB here.  Off the top of my head, at RB last 3 SB's:

     

    Akers:  2nd Rd.

    Sony M:  1st. Rd (Trade)

    Mixon:  2nd Rd.

     

    Fournette:  1st Rd. (FA Pickup)

    CEH:  1st. Round

     

    Shady:  2nd Round (FA pickup)

    Niners Committee Backfield:  several undrafted, Coleman Rd 3 

     

     

    Nevertheless, I appreciate your proving my point that leaving your RB situation 100% to mid round draft picks carries a low success rate.   A proven NFL commodity, who can elevate their game in our offense, at a reasonable price is one way to offset that.  

     

    I would ask you if you think our backfield is SB caliber in its current form and, if not, what would your strategy be to improve on it?  We're not going RB in rd's 1 or 2 so, is it enough to try to hit the lottery in round 3+ or should we look to get a proven guy in the mix?

    QB's with his talent are hard to come by.  That is the conundrum in the league.  We watch yearly what happens when teams try and bridge the gap with a Goff, Fitz, Flacco, Dalton, etc.  Their names are synonymous with rebuilds.  Arizona's supporting cast has a lot of "win now" talent...especially Hopkins.

     

    IMHO:  They're going to pay him.  They do not have a choice.  Maybe they negotiate down the guaranteed money and build in a back door.

    Repeat after me. Smart teams don't give big contracts to running backs.

    $5M/year is now "big"? I know RB value is not where it once was, but $5M/year is low-end starter money.

     

    Smart teams also should realize that 3rd rounders are generally in the 3rd round for a reason and they do not constitute a SB caliber backfield.

    well, if it was on a podcast...

     

    I knew this response was coming.  I used the word "projecting" as in one podcast was projecting Hunt to get cut and they thought he was best fit with the Bills.  In all the RB conversations, we never mentioned him.   I compared him to the FA choices and asked the board for their thoughts.  I don't believe I represented this as some kind of scoop or eventuality.  Just an idea and, as usual, the board came up with a great variety of thoughts.
