    There is an incorrect narrative on this board that “McDermott doesn’t play rookies,” all stemming from the Elam situation, that drives a lot of those takes.

    I'd argue he was pretty conservative with Cook his first year, as well... and he was also a total dick about his handling of him after Cook fumbled on the first snap of his NFL career... which probably didn't help his confidence any. 

  2. Rookie

    Diggs

    Kinkaid

    Samuel

    Shakir

    Rookie

    Cook

    Knox

    Hollins

     

    In an unexpected scenario, Beane clears enough cap to fill the holes that need to be filled before draft day and decides to go on up and get his man when he unexpectedly falls outside of the top 15. He double dips for good measure, and the Bills offense is unstoppable... which is good because their D-line rotation bombs again, they can't get any pressure on QBs the second half of the season, and every game turns into a shootout. :lol:

    Would there be a benefit to the other team if we waited until his 18.5 became guaranteed (is that at 4pm today) ? 
     

    Say we agree to pay that in exchange for higher draft compensation? 

    Did you bet the house on the Bills moving Diggs or something? Your posts are taking on an air of desperate rationalization of how this could still happen despite everything pointing to the contrary... it's starting to feel like you're afraid to go home and tell the missus that you blew junior's college fund at the craps table. :huh:

    Maybe some of the posters on this board will realize cryptic tweets or yelling on the sidelines 2 years ago isn't much in the grand scheme of things.

    If the second half of the 2023 season had matched Diggs's first half, my guess is the handwringing taking place in the cryptic tweets thread would be confined to the "usual suspects." It's the nose dive in production coupled with the "distraction" that has more people up in arms.

    Yes, yes they do.

    Expect Bass’s kickoffs to reach the 25 yard line now.  *****.

    He's married now. Training camp is a few months away... by the time the season rolls around the honeymoon phase will be over and he'll probably be kicking the ball out of the stadium. :lol:

  6. I can see them trying to move up to late teens early 20s to get the last of the WRs with a first round grade on their board. Otherwise, with their FA WRs and a deep WR draft, I see them going BPA rd 1 with WR in rd 2. 
     

    The only way I see them moving to early teens is if a can’t miss prospect in their minds falls outside of the top 10 for some reason… but that is a long shot.

    Looking at that picture, I'm guessing Josh already gave the stiff arm to the two Rams laying on the field and he was going after Donald next.

    No... this was the play he grabbed the edge rusher by the facemask and threw him into the opposite side edge rusher, then stiff-armed Donald to avoid the sack and threw the ball away into the endzone... ultimately to get called for the facemask. Despite the personal foul and the thrown away ball, it's one of my favorite Allen plays because of the sheer determination involved...

    Reid didn't win a SB till he got to his 2nd head coaching job, and after 13 years HC experience in Philly


    I'm confident McDermott can do that to.

    Are you suggesting that we should get him on to his 2nd head coaching job, then, so you can see if your confidence in him is justified? ;):lol:

    NOT UPSET BECAUSE THEY SHOULD GO BPA - Anyone who thinks its WR or nothing at 28 would make a terrible GM.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should they ever lock into ONE position and take a LESSER prospect over more talented players.  This team has a lot of needs, and WR isn't even the top need.  It is maybe the top priority, but not our biggest hole in a draft that is both rich and deep at WR.  

    Definitely not disagreeing with the rationale behind this thinking, but I think it is still possible to agree with this conceptually and still be pissed if they come out of another first round without a WR when they've needed one for 2 years now and when it clearly would have made a huge difference last season. I think they need to do everything they can within reason and without being stupid to come out of round 1 with, at the very least, the WR they had the last first round grade on if not someone higher on their board.

  10. I think he can still be an effective #1 if he has a true #2... or a #1 in waiting... opposite him on the roster. I don't think he's the same player he was when we traded for him, though, and I don't think he has the ability to dominate without an adequate cast of WRs around him, something he hasn't had since Beasely and Sanders were on the team and still had something to give.

     

    I said I'd be really upset if we didn't draft a WR in the first round because we need a WR of that caliber to get the most out of the time Diggs does have left with the Bills, in my opinion, AND drafting a first round WR gives us more flexibility on a high dollar position because of the 5th year.

     

    Assuming the player pans out, it should make the combination of Diggs, Shakir, Kinkaid, and Cook more effective and it should help from a cap perspective in the short term. I can't imagine it's not the position they're targeting given the report that it was their goal last season and they shifted to Kinkaid once the last WR they had with a 1st round grade came off the board.

     

    Fill out the rest of the WR room either with a later round pick or with a JAG with some speed... hell, throw Isabella out there for that matter. It's not a position I'd expect that we'd need much production from if we add a true #2/#1b and Shakir and Kinkaid continue to develop.

    You'd be surprised. I've seen 15 year olds called "godd*amn Millennials". It's a term that gets overused when it shouldn't. They are too ignorant to realize how old most Millennials are now

    I promise you that 10 years from now a zoomer will be mad at you for blaming something the Alpha's did on their generation. You little punks are all the same. :lol:

    It just annoys me. I'm almost 40 as a Millennial, the oldest Millennials are now 43 years old but they still get blamed for stupid things and have stuff said about them like "it's hard to interpret a Millennials tweets" like we are still 25 years old lol.

    At 38 years old you'll soon learn the secret to aging... after a certain point, everyone turns into this...
