I think if they weren't so deep at CB Hardy would have made the 53...but they were clearly panicking about not having a trustworthy return man when Hardy kept catching punts inside his 10 and Hamler was fumbling and bumbling. Definitely think Hardy has a future in this league, and perhaps with the Bills.

Everybody knows that drafting is an exact science and every draft pick should pan out. Shorter was a 5th round developmental prospect, not a Day.1 or Day 2 projected starter. Give me a freaking break. The draft gurus around here who think they could do better...smh.

Huh? If Maye tries to play like Allen he'll be decapitated. I watched Maye at UNC. I think his ceiling in the NFL is around a top 10-15 guy...which is very good, but he's not elite.

I think the bottom line is that they needed a reliable returner and Hardy showed poor decision making in the preseason. There is no doubt he is a promising player to develop as a CB and hopefully nobody claims him so they can get him on the PS.

There's your kick returner, ladies and germs...

He played that much because they weren't playing Cook, Davis, or Johnson, and Evans got hurt. He was literally their last RB. It's why Hamler ran in the TD late.

I love that it appears Solomon has made this team. An exciting young EDGE with speed, bend, and powerful hands.

I don't like players whose names are in the wrong order.

I just love stuff that Josh can use to further motivate himself.

Like we expect any of the fans on this board to say anything negative about their shining example of Beane’s “incompetence”…

Cool story bro

His first and last names don’t really go together, so it’s a pass for me, dog.

Have you seen Hollins’ instagram?

I can’t believe ScottLaw calls into that show… Damn straight. The Cowboys and Fish keep winning playoff games and Super Bowls while the Bills…

Weird response. I don’t care whether you “like” McDermott as a coach or not. I think it’s indisputable that he is a good human being and has completely changed the way both players and fans view the Buffalo Bills. He’s not a perfect coach and I’ve never said he is. Rather, it’s your ridiculous and baseless assertions that McD controls Beane and makes all personnel decisions that leave me rolling my eyes. You’ve dug your heels in with this insane conspiracy theory and it boggles my mind. I’m a logical person and when people don’t act logically I’m flummoxed. But in the end, I don’t really care one little bit about what fans think about the Bills and their management; it’s more important to me how people treat each other. I come here as a diversion and because I love the Bills. I also see no point in ruminating over things I can’t control. Have a great weekend.

Maybe he did and maybe he didn't. Maybe he had several guys ranked similarly and was happy to get one of those guys in order to get a 3rd round pick. It's not all black and white. The bottom line is that saying he was somehow incompetent because he "allowed" KC to draft Worthy is just foolish.

Where is that knucklehead, anyway? I miss his preseason gloom and doom content.

Sounds like a you problem.

Only from people who don't understand how the draft works. It's not Brandon Beane's job to prevent other teams from selecting players they want; it's to put himself in the best position to acquire the talent he wants..

This board has never been that. In fact, those who take an optimistic perspective are frequently the ones beaten down and told they don't know s-h-i-t about football. There are also far too many self-proclaimed know-it-alls who are patronizing and condescending to anyone who doesn't agree with them. If there was only one frequent contributor to this board we could all hope to emulate it is @GunnerBill. He studies and knows his stuff but doesn't condescend to others. He listens to all viewpoints and if he disagrees, he does so in a respectful manner and provides insight into why he believes the way he does. His only flaw is that he's just not very funny It's fun to be optimistic and root for your team. Crusades like the one you have against McDermott are completely futile and I don't see how doing this brings you any joy. Cheers and Go Bills

I like the Bills going into this season with a chip on their shoulder.

Do you think the additions of Hill, Waddle, Achane had anything to do with the offense? Nobody is saying McDaniel isn’t a good OC. My only point is that this is not a good look for Tua. You obviously have an axe to grind against Flores. What is strange about mentioning a QB’s ability in crunch time? That’s how the great ones are measured. And pretty much everyone claimed Tua would light the league on fire, so comparing what he has done to what Allen has done is certainly applicable. Anyway, I don’t really care…I just found the conversation in here pretty amazing.

What “problem” do I have? Tua developed just like any QB should. Josh Allen got better in his 3rd year too. In my opinion it‘s poor form for Tua to blame his head coach…and I don’t dislike Tua at all. My point still stands that he hasn’t really done anything great in this league when it matters.

This thread is pretty amazing. There’s no real “story” here other than a new age player responding poorly to an old school coach. Tua still hasn’t done crap in this league (i.e., win a big game or playoff game); he puts up gaudy numbers in a video game offense that works well until December. Flores got railroaded and Tua got a nerdy rah-rah coach to make him feel special. If McDaniel ever yelled at a player they’d probably look at him like he had a third eye.

“Keep in mind” what — your baseless assumptions? I don’t know where to start, but how about that it is just as likely that when the Bills acquired McGovern the plan all along was to have him replace Morse? I understand that folks are entitled to their opinions, but when those opinions are presented as known facts it skews the conversation.
