What about Mahomes? Russell Wilson? Cam Newton? Deshaun Watson? They seem pretty athletic.

I just see "buffalo is 32nd, and this guys ST unit was only 18th so he's a scrub". What makes them 18th? How much better is... 5th from 18th, and how much worse is 32nd from 18th. What are things that Carolina did well, and didn't do well?

What makes Buffalo the 32nd ranked special teams unit in the league?

I think 60 is a more fair number. We aren't really running 10 screens a game, and we haven't really started using an offense that gets the ball to our backs a ton. If we do those things i think he'll be in the 60 range. Cam completed 67% of his passes this year with McCaffrey as their leading receiver, when he traditionally hovered around 59.

I'm good with the occasional scrambles for first downs, but i agree. Most of his big plays this year were with his legs not his arm. Need to see him buy time and find that receiver on the sideline etc.

What are these ranks based off of? Kicking? Punting? Kickoffs? If the kickers aren't good it doesn't really matter

QB guru who was never a formal QB coach...

For sure - but he was so bad down the stretch that he was a bottom what 5 kicker in the league at the end of the day? I'd like to bring in some competitions. As for the Punters - Schmidt and Darr were the worst 2 punters in the NFL and Bojorquez made quite a few mistakes - he shouldn't be guaranteed a job either.

Reich hired this guy, he did not hire DeGuglielmo.

Decent out after 2020 and we have no cap issues so i don't really see this as an issue.

None of this matters if we don't upgrade Kicker and Punter. 6 misses from beyond 40 isn't exactly hausch money imo. And we had the worst group of punters in the NFL.

Stork started the year on IR. Solder missed more than half the year. Cannon missed time. They had 3 rookies starting by the end of the year. And others playing out of position.

He has a 2 mil buyout on that option which would force them to franchise... at closer to 30 mil. Considering he gets more than 20mil guaranteed wherever he signs - Alex Smith got 4 years 94 million with 55 mil guaranteed and 71 mil guaranteed for injury. I'd think Foles would probably get something similar 1 year later. Maybe slightly less as Smith is a few years older, but i would think the 50 guaranteed would be a starting point for his agent.

Those are always tricky with teams. A good kicker totally boosts the number, as would a good punter. Hauschka fell off a cliff after his injury, and our punting was league worst. Coverage unit's didn't have a good year either. I don't think anyone's job should be safe between Hauschka, or Bojorguqez?. I personally like the hire. I know nothing about him or special teams coaches, but I'm glad its not some re-tread that got fired from someone else. There's a bunch of new HC's around the league and they'll be looking to fill out their staffs so hopefully this is us getting a jump on that.

Wasn't he only with Carolina after Beane/McD left?
