Mr. WEO

No. Where did you get that? Oh that's right, you made it up! It's always a sport to watch doc "make things clear". lol "Clearly" they had already announced that they vetted the entire story and were comfortable with their findings. The "constant distraction" is exactly what they bargained for when they concluded he was not guilty of the allegations. They decided "eh, it's not that bad, and he's clean". derpa derpa derpa!! They dumped him because they realized that they, for reasons only they could know, misjudged the ferocity with which the public announcement of the suit and its details would have locally, and nationally---which is truly mind blowing incompetence. They blew it. To their credit, they did the best they could to extinguish they fire that they themselves lit and canned this guy. Simple. They F'd up. They quickly came to their senses and dumped a Punter.

cool story, now answer the question. If the Bills were convinced, already knowing all the sordid alleged acts, that he was innocent and would someday not be charged...why on earth would they abandon him after what they had known for a month became public (and the predicted s+++storm ensued)? They knew about "the optics" that were coming. Why go through all of this and then cut him? Do you really believe they somehow could NOT anticipate the public response? No way that's possible.

Hill was on Miami's roster in 2022. Other than the O-line, KC had one receiver with over 80 catches (Kelce). M V-S and Juju were other team's throwaways who combined for 5 TDs. The talent divide wasn't as wide as your are exaggerating...so, it can be done "at some point" without all elite talent.

Someday, we will all finally come to understand the genius of John Elway...

KC won just won the SB with the "most talented Offense they will ever have"? After Kelce, list all of their "elite weapons"...

a guy coming in unblocked and driving you to the ground? There is nothing "judo" is going to help you with there...

It means everything, actually. They didn't understand naming him punter would be a distraction until after the suit was was made public? They really didn't see this coming? Yeah that makes no sense. They go through the trouble of checking into this, satisfy themselves he's clean of these sordid charges......and then dump him as soon as you and I hear about all this And if their investigators "nailed it" and (somehow) knew that 4 months after the DA began its own investigation there would be no charges, why wouldn't the Bills just come out and say this: "there will be no charges filed after the DA completes it's own investigations months from now, but we have already concluded he is innocent so he stays on the team"? You still haven't answered this. You keep referring to a distraction they already calculated into naming him starter would produce. So what? They created the tsunami, and then suddenly it was so totally unpredictable that they had to immediately flee? lol...

His intermediate game seems to have miraculously improved after the Bengals game:

so....not a wizard?

West Side Story and JC Superstar....

Once Russ sees the Davis Webb package the AFCW will not be the same...

Hasn’t this been assumed to be his position since Watson signed?

"Bad thought about...." could be the title to 80% of the threads on TBD...

Browns/Jags/Dolphins are now part of a "gauntlet"?

Gotta feel a little bad for Giants/Saints/Ravens if they have to lay out a combined $600+ million for only 14 seasons for those 3 QBs.

Nowhere did I imply that.

93 plays, 13 targets, 6 catches, 60 yards (44 of them in the 1st 2 games). Wasn't much to conclude from that.

I'm not disputing that--in fact I said he beat him out straight up. Nor did I say Beane absolved (Doc insists this is true) or blame Araiza. As response to what I posted in this thread, your post makes no sense at all. But "stuff like that happens many times"..."gothca"

How can you be tired of being on a squad that you were no longer on?

lol--it's the worst rug I've ever seen.

Well if catching 50% of your targets and dropping 10% is still a complaint, then there's that...

Huh? Araiza beat out Haack straight up. I never said otherwise. Go back to sleep.

I don't know if he did these deeds or not--how could I?. You say you know he's innocent of any allegations. That's a major difference. You are confused again. Some facts continue to elude you (or, more likely, you ignore): The Bills didn't start their investigation until after they were made aware a suit was going to be filed by the plaintiff's attorney. The Bills were made aware by the plaintiff's attorney in late July of the allegations he was going to make public in a suit against Araiza....Araiza won the Punting job on August 22. He gave the Assistant General Counsel Kathryn D'Angelo all the details. He emailed her and then spoke to her directly. (interestingly, the guy who was General Counsel would be put on leave of absence by the team after Araiza was cut---he was Russ Brandon's brother, btw, lol). And finally, there was no way for the Bills to know in August that no charges would be coming in December, when it was announced. The DA had not even begun their own investigation yet. So that is more fabrication on your part. The Bills steely resolve and confidence in the depth, breadth and quality of their "thorough investigation" lasted all of 2 days. Of course, you still haven't answered my question: if the the Bills "knew" he was innocent and no charges were coming and knew exactly the heat this would bring based on what the suit would claim, why not keep him?

Does the Bills WR have to be a welcome mat for guys who used too be Bills? Jeez.....move on

So what? They knew that as soon as they were made aware of the the suit (before the public and before he Haack was let go). So....if the knew he was innocent, and they knew what the suit would allege and therefore knew what the fallout would be, why didn't they ride it out? They absolutely knew what "the court of public opinion" would be once the suit dropped. Why not just come out and say their investigators destroyed the entire suit, so Araiza stays. It makes zero sense to say they took the time to "investigate" to satisfy themselves he was clean, despite the salacious details......and then to cut him when the salacious details became public (which they knew was coming). There's no logic to that.
