Monson? The guy that stuck to his narrative that Josh sucked until he could no longer handle the laughter directed at him?
And we’ll see who was right or not by the results of the WRs Beane brought in. But if he’s proven right, no doubt Monson will insist he wasn’t.
Yep, Monson who voted Lamar for MVP, but is now saying that Josh has become “the guy” as NFL’s best QB…-

Do you think Josh means more to the Bills though than Mahomes the Chiefs?
I would say yes.
I mean, Josh was voted MVP last season. If you were GM, what steps would you take to improve the roster around Josh at this moment?-

100% agree it's not even a thought
I don't think I do it for $20,000
How about $200k? -

It's their award.
And it’s the one considered to be the official MVP, yet they can’t even count 50 votes properly. -
And some trust the judgment of the AP to pick the MVP?

Kid seems to be overlooked and I get it but I absolutely think there's upside there. Thoughts?
Def agree there’s some upside there, also thinking there’s some downside too. -
Really great interview by Bobby, think he’s got a really solid perspective:

Lee Evans. This guy was stuck w crappy QB play his entire time here in Buffalo, felt like he frequently made plays in spite of that and was a smart player too.

Jesus, get the man on a diet of Jim’s Steakout. No reason he should be skinny after spending the offseason here.

Lots of people had Lamar as mvp. His numbers and play were phenomenal. It was the best season of his career. A career which includes 2 prior mvps
And they were all wrong. Lamar also had HOF RB Derrick Henry. -
PFF, the same organization that voted Lamar as their MVP in 2024. What a joke, they play to the big markets.

So what’s the skinny here?

I feel a need to be reassured by the board. I get a creeping fear - which can only be based on some weird, deep-seated prejudice -- that Cole Bishop may well lack the toughness to be an NFL strong safety. Maybe he looks a little bit too much like a choirboy. Maybe he is too handsome and I am secretly jealous. I am 100% rooting for him. I know he has the height, weight and speed. But I look at him and think "likely to be scheme sound." No, please! I want to look at him and say "geez, I would sure hate to be a running back and see that animal flying downhill at me. Snot flying, drool dripping, that dude is going to wreck someone." I want to think - wide receiver over the middle? Not worried about it, Bishop will get there and lay the MoFo out. They may complete one, but it will be VERY expensive for them.
Tell me I am stupid, a hater or just off base. I really liked the pick when they made it, I am hoping he grows into a silent assassin on the back-end. Even if he is scheme sound too (and I know he wasn't always that last year either). Let's go Cole - cheering for you, and want to feel stupid for doubting you. I may have to buy a Bishop jersey just to exorcise my doubts. Thoughts?
You’re stupid-

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm going to need more than a blip in an article mainly about Kaden Prather saying he was "catching passes everywhere" from Will Rogers and Paxton DeLaurent, in a Rookie Mini Camp filled with UDFA's and unsigned tryout players (like the guys he was catching passes from) before I start thinking he might become a "TD catching machine" during live action.
With the role he has combined with what he was in College and where he was Drafted, it's a pretty unrealistic expectation. I'd be here for it, but I see it as a pretty hot take.
He's probably not going to get many reps and when he does, his role 9.5 times out of 10 will be that of a blocker and probably won't get much of a look unless a play breaks down (like Morris before him)
Sweet, been looking to stake claim to a hot take-

Not to be a jerk - but what leads you to believe he has "actual receiving upside"? More than Lee Smith, sure. But that's not saying much of anything. There were probably Offensive Lineman that had more Receiving upside than Lee Smith. And considering Butch Rolle's highest career totals were 13 catches (1992), 67 yards (1993), and 3 TD's (1990) - that's also not saying much. And I don't think anyone called Lee Smith or Butch Rolle "a force".
Through 4 years in College at Yale and Georgia Tech, Hawes averaged 12 catches for 141 yards and 1.5 TD's a year. His career highs in College were 16 catches (2024), 195 yards (2024), and 4 TD's (2022).
Quintin Morris' stats coming out of College at Bowling Green were an average of 10 catches, 382 yards, and 3.25 TD's a year. His career highs in College were 12 catches (2018 and 2019), 649 yards (2019), and 7 TD's (2018).
Hawes will be replacing Quintin Morris' role on the team. Coming out of College, Morris had shown more ability as a Receiver than Hawes did. And we saw what he brought to the table as a Receiving option for the Bills.
I think if you're saying Hawes be a force as a Blocker and a better Blocker than Morris was - that's fair. And i'd love for him to exceed expectations, just like any Bills player. But I'm just not seeing the Receiving upside that you and others have said he has or much more of a Receiving role than Morris had with us. Even his biggest supporters in the Draft said he's a great "Blocking TE". If teams thought he had real upside as a Receiver while being as good as he is as a Blocker from the TE position, he wouldn't have lasted to the bottom of the 5th Round.
This leads me to believe he has receiving upside. He reportedly was passing catches everywhere during minicamp. As for the Butch Rolle reference, I don’t remember him being a receiving stud, but he does have I believe the NFL record of 14 catches in a row that were for TDs. If Hawes ends up being a TD catching machine and a steady blocker, he will be very popular. And based on his Wings eating interview, I can already see him being a fan favorite as well.

He's the replacement for Quintin Morris. A Blocking TE like Morris before him and like Lee Smith before that. If you're saying "a force" as in like they were, sure. But I wouldn't be expecting much on the stats sheet.
Think he’s going to be Lee Smith but with some actual receiving upside. Our Butch Rolle.

You understand it's going to be wholesome...
Because of his unconditionally positive outlook, I'll be alright with this.
He's almost so wholesome as to be creepy...
So like... buckskin and rawhide?
Also, B sound techs and B cinematographers and B costume suppliers... but kudos still!
What are you saying dude?
I'm pretty sure there won't be any yellow snow or road salt in sight... pure as the driven snow...
I'm not easily manipulated and in fact I look for reasons not to watch stuff... but in this case I'll go willingly.
This is one of the most hysterically funny things I've ever read... why are you posting on a message board???
Almost perfect... but you forgot to insert Zubaz into the "narrative."
I think there's a topic about that...
So then you went looking for an endodontist?
Just out of curiosity, what are you holding out for?
This is one of the wittiest and most entertaining topics I can remember. I'm not feeling snark.
Wow. If true that's amazing.
I also have doubts that he'll be able to play himself.
Think you missed replying to a couple posts in here 😆

This is the guy I’m looking out for as well. Super-smart, great guy, and plays with an edge of nastiness.
Maybe he could teach Kincaid how to be unskinny too-

Funny, I was thinking this week I can’t believe how long PTI has been on the air. ATH crossed my mind as well, although didn’t realize it’d been 22 years for that show too.
