He’s not that bad now. Watching him with the Ravens he would be a rich man’s Emmanuel Sanders circa 2021.Bills already signed a pair of aging journeymen 600 yard a season guys who will be around for a year.....

Ok,. I'll bite. Zach Eedy is listed as 7' 4" and 300 lbs and probably weights a little more. Maybe not quite the BMI of a typical NFL interior lineman but how is Eedy a beanpole?
Chet Holmgren is listed as 7' 1" and 209 lbs, Victor Wembanyama is 7'4" and 210 lbs. Those guys are beanpoles.

I'm going to save you guys a little future embarrassment and let you know why there is zero chance of this happening.
Mitch Trubisky signed a 2-year contract with the Bills and a lot of it is guaranteed, which means he's the backup.
That means whoever you draft is going to be on the practice squad... until they inevitably get stolen off the practice squad by another team.
Thus, it would be a wasted pick. This example happened with Jake Fromm. Remember?
We drafted him in the 5th. He went to the practice squad. He got stolen by the Giants. Zero compensation. All they had to do was give him a roster spot.
So... unless you expect us to carry 3 QB's on the active roster (which never happens) or expect Joe Milton to take Mitch's job before the season starts and have us take a huge loss on a guaranteed contract to Mitch, there is no reason to do this.
You're welcome.
you lost me at Fromm was “stolen” by the Giants… -
I can’t even begin to imagine the relief Josh Allen is feeling right now.

Didn't see the whole game, but saw the last drive. Pretty nice finish
Been saying it for years now, but they have to change the rules for the UFL. I'd eliminate running completely and maybe even punts. Each team gets 4 downs, if they don't get a first, ball goes to the other team. They have to do something to make these games entertaining. At the very least, shorten the quarters. You can't expect these games to be anywhere near nfl level, yet they play with almost all the same rules.
the only reason someone might at least start to watch is because it’s football, something every viewer is intensely familiar with already.You’re describing a game that bears no resemblance to football..so why would MORE people watch than do now? D list players doing passing drill scrimmages sounds awful

What is your proof to assert that the “Jets are loaded”? How many championships has their roster, coach, or FO, produced? How many playoff appearances? How many wins? It’s just hype until they prove otherwise.
I said they seem loaded on paper. Everything else in your response is immaterial -

Dorsey is credited with developing Newton into a better passer. He also was fairly well known for working privately with QBs.
Russ Brandon was laser focused on the bottom line. The Bills never paid top dollar for coaches, but under Brandon (2006-2018), the budgets Brandon allowed for the coaches wasn't nearly enough to bring in good position coaches, especially on offense where good offensive assistants are expensive. After 2018, the Bills kept OC Daboll and fired all the other offensive coaches. Allen's first QB coach had a single year of coaching college QBs about 20 years earlier. He had no experience working with NFL QBs.
I don't know if Williams' signing made a huge jump in attendance but it certainly excited the fan base for a while. When Brandon signed Owens in 2009, Bills fans were angry over the Bills giving Jauron an extension after the team's collapse the previous season. The Bills sold a record number of season tix for the 2009 season, more than 56k IIRC.
What "top dollar" coaching staff has Beane/Pegula laid out for? Who are the top dollar position coaches the current "budget" allows for? How many top dollar offensive assistants have the Bills churned through since 2017? The good ones are expensive you know...
There was no meaningful bump in attendance with Williams. The TO signing was reasonable (you would do well to review all of Beane's FA WR signings over the years).
Did Dorsey get the "credit" for Newton turning back into a crappy passer in 2016, 17? Or did his QB coaching magic wear off after 2015?

The media drummed up his diva status and helped drive him out of town... There's been nothing but smear pieces about him for the last 2 years
The national media and pundits drove him out of Buffalo by highlighting this narrative day in and day out for 2 years
Do you really believe fans and reporters can "run a player out of town"? No one really believes that, but they like to pretend it's true for some reason.
In reality, he's gone because, as it turns out, he didn't come to play hard every day. His coaching stuff knows infinitely more than you or any fan or "national media" bogeymen do about what it was like to coach, direct, pay and otherwise employ Stef Diggs. And those people decided it was worth millions of dollars to pay him to play for someone else.
That tells all you need to know about what and who "ran him out of town".

It’s amazing to me how much love the Jets consistently get despite having just 1 winning season over the last 13 years and none for the last 8. Maybe we should wait until they make the playoffs for once before they are anointed champions.

Why do you get a pass on doing "all kinds of research"? I did "all kinds of research" for the facts I presented. Back up your claims with facts, and maybe your opinions will get more respect.
FTR, Doug Whaley would have drafted Mahomes but he lost the power struggle that occurred after the Bills hired McDermott, and didn't have control of the 2017 draft. He was fired a day or two after that draft. Unfortunately, Mahomes or Allen, neither would have become the QB he is today because the Bills under Russ Brandon put the emphasis on putting butts in the seats rather than winning football games. They had bottom feeder coaches because they wouldn't pay top money to coaches. Allen's first QB coach was a guy who had no real experience developing a QB. After Brandon was fired and Beane promoted, the Bills hired Ken Dorsey to develop Allen.
Mario Williams was signed for the same reason that Terrell Owens was signed in 2009: to put butts in the seats when fans were souring after more losing seasons.
Who did Dorsey "develop" before Allen? Former OROY and already 2 time Pro Bowler Cam Newton?
Which of the Bills current coaching staff IS getting paid "top money"? (hint: McD isn't in the top 10).
What was the big attendance bump with Mario Williams? TO?
You have some research to do...

No team wins with a lousy O-line. Having a bad Oline and a statute at QB is a recipe for disaster. Their defense was elite last season and should be again this year.

Poyer was betrayed by an unappreciative fanbase who attacked his personal opinions, his charities, and his family. Then he took less money to fight through injuries to play the best statistical years of his career. But now that same fanbase calls him a traitor for going somewhere he's wanted and his personal opinions actually align with the city.
Morse took paycuts and played through injuries.
where/when did he :"take less money" than he could have gotten?

The Jets are not the better team even on paper even with the Bills' departures. The Bills are slightly downgraded on paper, but we all know that what happens on paper is meaningless once the season starts. The Bills improved in the second half of the season last year because of 6 1st and 2nd year players (Benford, Benard, Torrence, Cook, Shakir and Kincaid) plus the addition of Douglas in a trade. Is there any reason to think that those kids won't continue to improve and help the team improve with them?
sure, they might. That's not the topic.
Outside of O-line (assuming flat earther QB can play), the Jets are loaded.

He gets a pass because he built a playoff team from nothing.
Bills went to the playoffs in 2017. Beane didn't "build" that playoff team.

OP concedes "On paper the Bills are slightly downgraded", then spends the rest of the article telling us how the the Bills "should be ok" with the downgrades----after opening by dragging a guy who claims the Jets are better on paper.

Is any fanbase more in sync with their team? More emotionally wedded to their team? More anxious when the heart of the team maybe doesn't feel quite... in rhythm?
This may be hyperbole, but I feel as if BB MD is using the body of Buffalo Bills Fandom as a gauge for the extent to which the heart of this team; players AND coaches, can be resuscitated. A lot of people here have said it, not just me... I've never been more anguished; and more in grief over this team, than I was in January. I had to completely unplug. I'm sure the team sees it on social media, call in shows, podcast streams, etc. For many, the extreme detachment this year was real.
I get it... the salary cap is real; but Beane did not have to be so hardcore about it... Well, like I began to say; Beane got out the AED machine... Assuming the TV shows are right, the first shock is not the strongest. You want to make sure you don't over shock the system. But... you do come in strong... make the ticking time and effort worth a try. CLEAR!!!!! (Poyer, Morse, Hyde) thump... no reaction from the body.
CLEAR!!!!! (Davis, Neal, Jackson, Matakevitch, Von Miller paycut) thump... no reaction
CLEAR!! (Tre White) the body shifts a bit... still not enough.
CLEAR!!! (Diggs trade!)
And at last... the body of the Buffalo Bills Fanbase is convulsing on the table: spitting, trembling and groaning, but the pulse is back people! The will to fight together again... to live another day and struggle for survival and success. Put another way,... they've hooked me again, lol
this couldn't be rolled into the Dalmar thread?

They made the playoffs last year but were not contenders. They overachieved. That experience made them see their deficiencies and they addressed them to make a run next season. I think they will be one of the top 4 in the AFC if Stroud doesn’t take a step back.Could be, yeah.
Stroud's no Josh Allen. His main achievement as a QB last year was avoiding turnovers. Otherwise, he put up Derek Carr numbers. Jordan Love had a better year, yet few comment on it.
