New system, stepping into a league where everyone is the best of the best, and new people to throw the ball to. It will take him some time to get used to the difference in the speed of the game, the tighter windows, and getting to know his teammates. He'll be fine.
move always said if a guy throws zero picks in practice that’s kind of a concern itself. You can’t be an idiot out there all the time but sometimes you have to actually take the learning reps and that’s by far the best place to see what you can and can’t get away with, right?obviously you want to see lots of success but having zero fails means you probably aren’t pushing yourself much either. There’s a balance there.

Remember when Chase couldn’t catch a football a few years ago?
This is nothing to even worry about the kid will be fine
yea you have to be a real jerk to change your opinion of a guy off an OTA practice having a couple errant balls.if you thought he was a bum with major accuracy issues I get feeling some confirmation if he’s sailing passes but…. Pretty complete prospect having a mediocre practice l? Pfffffft.

Time to do away with college football. Carter is one of the lucky 1.6% percent of college football players who were drafted to the NFL. For the other 98.6% of college football players who will not go on to play in the NFL, having their tuition and degree paid for should be more than enough. I am fine with the stars of college football being able to use their name and likeness to make money, but to actually pay these guys a paycheck to play football, give me a break.
Stop the nonsense. Make a minor league system for football and stop giving away spots in classes for people who actually earn and need the degree long term.
yea it feels like the solution was a true minor league and not leaning into universities being premium sports entertainment meccasi get the toothpaste is out of the tube and has been for decades but…. It’s not a particularly reasonable approach to shove these two pieces together under one umbrella

I was looking at concert tickets the other day on TM for a local show, and it seems the artists/bands can make TM not allow markups for reselling. This concert had some tickets marked "Face Value Exchange".
How Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange Works – Ticketmaster Help
my least favorite recent was banning resale below face for an event that wasn’t sold out. Like couldn’t use any other vendor and had to be at or above cost for a GA show… fun eating the cost of those tickets when plans changed-

I would offer that Buffalo is even LESS optimal to host the draft then they are a Super Bowl. Based on the number of attendees just in Detroit this year - that's way more people than would be in town for the Super Bowl, so where are they all going to stay?
I do not believe those attendee numbers to be true but…im assuming it’s counting the same fan about 8 times over the weekend going into different events and most of those are locals

If you put Vanderbilt next to his name
Nobody would be that high on the pic... He has some good traits... I have him as a solidly one to two year developmental guy
I think he could be the starting center after 2 years of development on a good team
he plays with below average technique against top guys... Has par core strength is undersized with short arms... Nothing screams day one NFL starter
McGovern is 6'5 .. played college center... Is stronger and athletic with years of NFL strength and conditioning... Signs point to him being very good
Vpg has some traits you want to develop... He would get bulldozed in the AFC East if we asked him to be our linchpin this year
I should have been clear I was agreeing on McGovern -

As of pure football guy through and through I love Gilliam
Like you can't have 51 all pros on your roster... You can't have 51 pro bowlers
You need meat and potato guys... Gritty guys who will do anything for the team... Punt unit , kick off unit, kick return unit
You're not putting Dawson knox out there lol
Yeah he's playing a dying position... But he's a good enough athlete to be an emergency tight end
Catches solidly, and runs hard when given the chance
Core special team guy... I hope Josh throws to him once a game... To keep people slightly honest
He has the athleticism to be a weapon as a fullback... Sam gash light
I do love how this board is lukewarm on our top two picks
Yet think an undersized, short-armed center who plays with bad technique will win the job
When McGovern played center very well at Penn State.. is now one of the bigger more athletic and stronger centers in the NFL... While having starting experience on the line
He is not going to get beat out... In fact he's more likely to get a massive contract in 2 years from a team looking for a center for 5 years
Center is physically the easiest... And McGovern is very strong and huge for a center... He's going to dominate
I haven’t been super excited about the center situation but of the question marks I do think he is one that could actually end up emphatically filling the hole he is slotted up for. It’s no guarantee but he’d be the least shocking of the safety, center, wr1, etc… to actually hit it out of the park -

Best year- Samuels 851 Claypool 873 Shakir 691 Hollins 690 Knox- 587 Kincaid 673
That is more than 4000 yards And that is without Keon Coleman. I stated a while ago that I expect this offense to be a pick your poison deal, not mainly force feeding Diggs and I think that is great.
well shoot- if we are getting all of their best years-

I disagree with havn't been particularly close, I think they have been closer than you realize. But I agree with your point, at some point it has to be a problem. They were 13 seconds from hosting the Bengals in the AFCCG. They were a couple plays last year from beating the Chiefs. Both times the defense is what failed and that is what McDermott is supposed to bring to the table. I get it, they have not won the SB and we all want that. What is your idea for who to replace him with? Unfortunately the Bills are playing when you have a true dynasty standing in their way. The 49ers have the same exact problem, they just can't play the Chiefs until the SB. Here is the list of coaches who have beat Mahomes in KC more than once: McDermott, same goes for Allen and they have done it three times. Yes they need to do it when it matters but who are we going to change to? The odds are with any change, it will get worse not better but there is a chance it could get better.
we were 13 seconds away from playing in the game to get to the game….while I agree they had a shot…. They couldn’t hold on for 13 seconds so 120 more minutes is quite the journey left to reach the goal

Let's list the coaches that have a better record than him in the last 7 years: Andy Reid end of list
Who does he lose in the playoffs to: Andy Reid mostly.
Who else struggle vs Reid in the playoffs: Shanahan
Let's list the coaches with playoff wins the last 4 years: Andy Reid and Sean McDermott
A 5-6 playoff record is not what you want but the 6 tells you he made the playoffs 6 times, the 5 shows you he has won a playoff game 5 times, playoff wins are hard to come by.
You can spin things many ways. Have the Bills not gotten over the hump in the playoffs? Yes. Same issue Reid had for years. I am open to hearing who we want to replace him with but it will be someone who is coaching another team or has not had the level of performance McDermott has had. Too often stumbles against lesser teams? Compare with the rest of the league first. They win more than any team except 1. When you really break down McDermott vs Reid it is close excpet McD has the edge in regular season and Reid in the playoffs. Playoffs are what matters but its not like he is getting blown out of the water, the games, all of them come down to a play here or a play there, at least the last 4 have.
We are halfway through this ride and haven’t come particularly close. At some point that’s got to be a problem.-

Most of my friends hate McD. I gently remind them of 17 years of futility that has been replaced by expectations of winning every year 🤷
sounds like you are a huge fan of Josh -
Can I say the oddest part was a 2 year design process to pick which era pants and which era jersey to wear?

100% agree, social media has contorted reality for many… most people, I’d say 70% pretty much believe in the same principles and understand the world around them in the same manner.
It’s social media that has everyone believing we’re all so different.
plus this idea that everyone has to take a stance on everything instead of accepting we don’t know much about most of it-

He seemed really nervous to me. Probably had cotton mouth. I thought he did great, though. Best of the athletes anyway. Gronk was unwatchable.
yea seemed pretty nervous but totally out of his element and going right out of the gate so not a lot to index against. I thought he did well for a non comedian-

Jeebus. You’re right. And that’s a rough realization to come to terms with. Shakir, Samuel, Coleman and the likes of MVS, Hollins, etc. Ouch. MVS could legit be WR3 if Coleman isn’t ready.
or I keep saying - heaven forbid Samuel rolls an ankle in a preseason game and misses September? Week 1 could get real thin real fast if Coleman is even slightly a project and either Shakir or Samuel miss any early reps23 minutes ago, PBF81 said:50.3% career catch%. LOL 50.0% this past season.
Funny, we boot Davis and some want an even worse WR re: drops and catch% and with no particularly consistent skillset.
for 10% of the cost and as wr4 instead of wr2-

Knox IS a good player. He does a lot of things while on the field which help the running game and has to be watched as a receiver. WHY the sudden hate on Knox??
there’s a section of the board that likes to be razor thin -
There’s a reality that pass catchers will miss games and having some depth isn’t the worst.
if prefer another viable wr but Knox is a good player

Imma go with Tupac. Given the lack of a true #1 WR, we're gonna need him to step up big. I'm calling my shot. 70 receptions, 900 yards, 8-10 TDs.
ironically I think those excited for him and those worried about him are both in that range-

None of the above. I think the Bills are investing in Youth at the WR position with Kincaid, Coleman, Shakir, Samuel and Claypool. I doubt they are going after a veteran WR...may be they will look for one with speed..but other than that this WR group is set for the next 2 years.
I have to stress that no one is chalking up claypool as in the groupalso claypool turns 26 this summer, so same as several of those

I was in New Orleans a few years ago for the Thanksgiving game. Near the top. Probably 20-30 rows from the last seat in the house. Boy were they steep. I was worried walking up the steps. Walking down them. And god forbid if I stood up with any sort of quickness I would have tumbled for 8 minutes until my lifeless body hit the turf on the Bills sideline.
not to mention we were so far away you could barely make out numbers on the jerseys. Not a pleasurable experience imo.
I would take any one of these seats as reasonable options. It’s the last one you listed that makes me curious. Because as some have said that have been to the experience. They are currently in the 200-300s now and the club seats that are covered and heated are going for way more than this. Triple these prices. So I’m wondering if there is some other options coming? Or if they have vastly increased the prices (triple) from the survey.
I hate the upper deck seats in the dome.I have to be pretty desperate to pick a seat that I have to go up from the tunnel up there. Amazes me more drunks don’t just tumble to their demise.

I don't see VP As a development project.
If he wins the job in the first week of camp he won’t spend any time at guard.
I think that’s unlikely but possible

I would like you to consider the TEs and RBs as pass catcher of skill and ability
The sum of these parts might well be enough if used thoughtfully.
To fair to badoll,
Some of these WRS will need to step up and into next level. Shakir will get some love from D-Coord so i am " Wishful ?! " Curtis S steps up , and wishful Coleman can find his feet , and hands before midseason
specifically my original post was in response to someone saying the wr room was solid. While I’ll say cook and Kincaid are solid- they unfortunately run a lot of the some routes into the same zones that our existing WRs do. There’s definitely some initial gaps in the WR room that a back just doesn’t fill (stretching the D vertically)-

Stefan Diggs Skips OTA Texans
in The Stadium Wall

And for what amounts to nearly zero effort on his part -
rehab his image a bit by showing up in his most charismatic form for a couple days instead of forcing his team to answer questions (and him act shocked that he will also be asked them later)
