Bleeding Bills Blue

They're going to sign someone. Beane has basically always said - i like to use FA to fill gaps, and then have flexibility in the draft.

I mean - he was in management so i assume they would? It just makes sense to send an email "hey - if u still want it etc." rather than interview people and spend tons of time.

My bro just got laid off by the padres... He got his vacation pay at least. No guarantee they hold his job or anything either.

Not being able to do a physical is going to be tough for him right now. His shoulder issue in 2018 was still showing up in 2019 before the ankle ended last season prematurely. If he's sapped of arm strength, and isn't able to run the ball as much - he really isn't the same QB that he was.

It's a business - they all operate differently. The team president or owner may give total control, or they may not - there may be more of a collaborative effort in some teams than others.

Feel free to go figure it out ?

GM reports to someone. I also feel like you would need approval of like.. at least one of these guys below or the owner. They probably went through with the hopkins move for a few reasons - cap space for one, and hopkins may have been more of a problem than they are letting on. Who knows. But there's a 0% chance they trade him. Why create future cap space for watson only to trade him. It doesn't make sense. President – Jamey Rootes Executive vice president of football operations – Jack Easterby Director of football operations – Clay Hampton Director of college scouting – James Lipfert Director of pro personnel – Rob Kisiel

One would think they would be made aware if the franchise QB was being moved.

They're not going to trade him. Obrien gets fired before ownership lets him trade watson. Also - he posted song lyrics as an immediate response to a friend getting traded. Its an emotional response but i don't think he like pissed anyone off by stating it.

I remember he had that big catch in the bengals game that changed the entire tone of the game. It went from "same ol bills" choking a lead against an inferior opponent, to the new bills who can take care of business.

Big fast dude - Career catch rate of about 50% which doesn't really scream nuanced route runner.

This guy became a professional athlete...

He seemed like a guy who was primed to break out and just never did.

I mean... The most popular twitch channels are bringing in a couple hundred thousand viewers. Espots have also become more and more of a thing in the past few years. I don't think it works as a direct sports simulation though, Id rather see the best gamers play games against each other. Watching 2 pro madden guys go at it is pretty entertaining honestly.

I mean... you do need some time to substitute, call plays, etc.

The NYJ one was the one that was really like - how did they win this? Cincy and NYG to me showed how much they could stand to improve the offense, and that go for the kill mentality that they need to develop. I felt the defense really exposed mariota as Tyrod 2.0 in the week 5 game, but they missed 4 FGs. 2 from inside 40... The 4th one made no sense - guys 0 for 3 and you're down 7 with 6 minutes left in the game... why would you kick a 53 yard field goal? As for the browns game... yuck. Bad 4th down calls, missed FGs, and the rare stinker from the defense.

It's something you work on outside of the season imo. You can't break habits like that midseason - practices are for installing gameplans etc. He just needs to learn to hold the ball against his chest.

It depends where the evaluation puts haskins in relation to Tua, Herbert, Love etc. If you think Tua is better, you should probably take him. You won't get value for haskins - but if you fix the most important position on the field you will be forgiven.

You aren't wrong - but theres no guarantee lawrence is yours next year. It's just suuuch an important position. You can figure some of the other stuff out as you go along.

I mean - he's probably done. Thats unfortunate.

He's a day one starter and its not even close imo. Had more passing yards than Wash st. qb on 180 fewer attempts. Isn't a 1 trick pony who relies on his guys for YAC, if anything his ball placement and ability to buy time created more YAC for them. Athletic enough to be a threat with his legs. I was always impressed with those touch passes on crossers, and to running backs.. set his guys up for big gains. His deep ball always seemed really solid too, great touch. Oh and there's the big game feel - I know stats aren't like... everything related to QB and draft grades... But in the 3 biggest games of the year he averaged... 70% comp, 435 yards (on 42 attempts), and 6 TDs (16 through the air and 2 on the ground). Really impressive. I don't think I'd trade the pick. I think you can build something with him - assuming he's going to show up and play for you.

Well.. he's probably the greatest every to suit up at the most important position on the field so... you make exceptions.

Woof. If those are your starters... im running the ball.

His injury last year was a big problem... they used 4 different kickers last year. He also wasn't great when kicking. 4 missed xp's on 15 tries. He had a rough year in 2018 too. He's 35 and wasn't consistent anymore... unfortunately it was time to move on.

Who knows how they do it now... considering its probably going to be on a basically closed set.
