Mr. WEO

Was leaving Wegmans and this guy is on the cover of “585” this local rag/mag at the checkout area. I was shocked—wondering why he’s featured. I forgot all about this guy. it takes an annual Bills re-signing and the usual accompanying 2-3 Isabella threads to remember who this guy is.

wouldn’t you start smoking for $40 million a year? the guardian cap is a joke—a fig leaf the NFL gets to place over its concussion problem. None of the claims cited by the NFL for this ridiculous pizza topping have been made available for scientific review. this has been discussed ad nauseum. The NFL can’t prevent a cleared player who is under contract from playing. Nothing in the CBA allows for this simply because the NFLPA would never sign it his team can.

Lawrence HAS wilted….didnt need the Jets for that.

they didn’t like him as a WR. 5 targets 2 catches

minus all of the pass catching

I guarantee any doctor who evaluated him documented their findings accurately.

you seem to have recovered

OJ only ran for 57 TDs in 9 seasons with the Bills??? I always figured it was a lot more.

one of the worst Defenses in the NFL can't find work for a "healthy" old, completely banged up Tre White???!!! Beane pulling that 1 year contract from his secret stash.... Give him a pair of tickets in the Takeo Spikes section

Favre wasn't a "bust" in Atlanta for his one year there. He was a rookie backing up a starter who went 10-6, won a WC game that year. He can't be on this list. Flutie was certainly a bust before he went to the CFL--not able to do much on 2 different teams. He was 8-5 as a starter in NE, but he wasn't productive and threw more INT than TD. what is the NFL supposed to do with guys like Trey Lance, who prove to be good college QBs, but no good in the NFL? 1st round QBs famously bust out for a variety of reasons: can't handle the speed of the game, they get injured or they are just too dumb to play the NFL game. Lance may be all 3...

He met with doctors, they cleared him to play football. Why would they say it's "what's best for" him? No team or other involved physician is hired to counsel players to quit playing the sport, or not.... Doctors aren't in the business of recommending or discouraging careers for their patients. They simply explain risks and benefits and let patients decide what happens next. Tua didn't need a doctor to tell him that he is risking his future health by playing again...and since no doctor has deemed him unfit to play, he apparently has accepted the risk and will play. Why is this hard to understand?

neither the NFL nor the players via their union want to keep their star players out of the game for possible concussions. so it's smelling salts to wake you up for your 3 minute "independent neurotrauma exam" and back out of the tent you go...

Flutie in Buffalo....

typo--56 rounded up.

Exactly. Wither Freddy Kitchens COTY?? Looks likes Stefanskis HC prowess began and ended with an ascending Mayfield

Dorsey will be calling plays from under the bus that pulled up…

yes. The numbers are similar, as you can see. 93 or 63, 52%, 54%.......

His % (56.5, 55.6, 51.6, 55.6) was pretty stable on the same team with the same QB and the same playbook despite being targeted 63 to 93 times....

I don't know. Have their been any who actually examined him and recommended retirement? Who's medical advice is he ignoring?

not equal, no. But close, given the numbers--as you can see. So it "means" they would have had similar numbers if they had similar targets. There's nothing tricky about that math. Cooper is the #1 on the Bills by default. They don't otherwise have one.

Bills 24-20.

It would be hard to be on your 4th team if you have been been traded 4 times (good pickup lol). Anyway, Diggs wasn't traded for any of your 2 existing reasons for a trade--you may have to expand your list. I have been talking about drops and catch % since I responded. Had Davis last year had as many targets as Cooper, he would have had about 1200 yards and 11 TD and 5 drops--- and no one would be saying he's terrible. Cooper doesn't have great hands--that's the topic being discussed.

He's been cleared to return no?

The QB % was a means to compare Cooper's QBs, as NewEra was. They all have about the same %. Obviously Watson isn't Josh Allen, but he completes 63% of his passes this year and he has no real problem finding his TEs, for example. Plus it is still true that Cooper dropped 10 passes in only 6 games. That's not on Watson.

The question was why would 4 teams trade him? Players don't trade themselves. The Bills traded Diggs--is it because they are "trash" or because they were dying of cap restriction (despite paying him 31 million not to play for them). The answer, as you know, is neither. They could stand him any more. All I have said is he is a legit #1 for the Bills and he has bad hands. Neither you nor the other guy above can dispute this. Your comparison of QBs completion % clearly didn't have the effect you were hoping for. Sure, for instance, Watson sucks (he's always been a flash in the pan)....but his completion % isn't much different from anyone else you listed.
