About the same. He’ll probably have lesser passing stats and less rushing yards, but overall, will be the same player we’ve seen for the last 3 seasons.

He’s never had a drop in any nfl postseason, not just 8 this postssason. He’s a 2-4MWR…..what do you expect? No one is saying he’s the second coming. No o e is saying he’s the answer at the X. He’s a piece that can play a role and make some plays. That’s just the truth of the matter. Those looking for a star, well, he definitely ain’t it. Those looking for the future X, he ain’t that either. He’s solid depth that can do some things that we need at a position of need.

Meaning he’s literally NEVER had a drop in the playoffs and has made several big catches to help win games. He’s a player that adds a different dimension downfield while also being a tremendous blocker (in the run and pass game). He helps short passes go for bigger gains. He’s not our answer at the X. He’ll play a role and the coaches will try and put him in position to do what he does best. Get downfield, scramble drill and block

The guy that led the nfl in catch% while averaging 15.7 ypc

Dude said we had ZERO PASS RUSH. doesn’t matter if the numbers were inflated by a game. We didn’t have zero pass rush.

👍🏻 I think Micah is a backup plan midseason. If Edwards can’t handle FS the way McD wants him to and Micah has an itch, I could see it. I don’t think he’ll start the season with the club. let’s hope we can add another pass rusher, but I don’t see it happening.

Disagree- Our pass rush was poor in the last month or so, but we were 4th in the nfl in sacks, 6 off the lead. We had one of the better pass rushes the majority of the season…but Floyd fell off a cliff in the last 3rd of the season and we suffered because of it. Not to mention Von being useless. I think von will give us similar to what Floyd gave us last year. Still would’ve liked to add a better pass rusher than Smoot. One injury to Rousseau or AJ and we could be in big trouble eager to see what Soloman can do.

I’m worried about our pass rush. It’ll be up to Babich/McD to manufacture pressure if the line can’t win their one on ones Stay healthy Agree, but I think it’ll be 86 as his safety blanket

Against league rules. Big time

I hope so, but I don’t see it with the signing of Smoot. 1.75m gtd. that’s one of my least favorite offseason moves, although I get it. He’s the power backup end. I just don’t like the player and would rather we held out and gotten someone with more pass rush upside. Groot, AJ, Von, smoot are pretty much locks looking at contracts. Solomon, Jonathan and toohill battle for 5th. I like soloman and I expect him to battle Jonathan. Hopefully we can get the remaining on the ps.

No, Beane was the doormen who took KCs money to bypass the line. He knew who he wanted and he rolled the dice that the best gms in the business weren’t in the market for Keon Coleman. So he got free upgrades. You can twist words and pretend like you have a clue, but you don’t. Looking at our team Worthy and Pearsall weren’t in contention. We knew Carolina wanted Legette. We drafted a WR version of Josh, Tremaine, Rousseau and elam. A big and athletic human being. You’re taking Beane for a fool. He’s not that. Yet again, it’s expected. That’s why you’re here.

🙄 this is such a short sighted view. You’re saying any team picking in the mid 20’s is making a mistake, because they’ll inevitably be picking by after the best GMs and you won’t get the guy you want. We got a player that we wanted and we upgraded picks. The fact that there’s risk involved doesn’t make this a bad move. Every offseason move is a risk. Nothing is guaranteed.

It’s of no consequence if we got the guy we would’ve picked at 28. It’s a risk if the guy we wanted was picked. If we wanted a sub 4.4 guy, there were some available. Coleman is the only WR that fits his particular profile. He knew Carolina was taking Legette. I doubt he was taking Pearsall and if worthy was his guy, he wouldn’t have traded down. I never thought Worthy was a viable option for our offense. He’s not the prototype Beane drafts in rd 1. Coleman is. it’s my opinion that Coleman was their guy all along. So the only consequence was upgrading a handful of picks.

I’m speaking of the 24 year old RB pick. You mentioned his age. Which has no bearing. He’s a backup, which has no bearing. He’s a 4th rd pick that is pretty much guaranteed to have a solid size role in our offense for the next 4 seasons. There’s nothing wrong with the pick. I was hoping for another WR at some point and I’m disappointed that we didn’t select one but I’m happy with the Davis pick. He’s a baller lol. And now you know why his draft board looks like 🤣 Clueless

A backup RB for 2 years and a starter for 2 years. Not sure what the problem is. Any 4th rd pick that get solid snaps for 2 years then starts for 2 years is of fine value. Regardless of position. It’s a day 3 pick

Age has nothing to do with this pick. Mentioning it is absurd. He’s a RB that will be here for 4 years and then gone. He’ll play his last play as a bill when he’s 28. Perfect timing

Incoming 10 game suspension for Rice

Looks like a brutal schedule. I’m thinking 9-11 wins- it’ll be a battle to make the playoffs but I think we’ll get in I’m excited to see how the new blood performs. Could be some rough spots. Brady calling his playbook. I love the RB and TE units. More run. More 2TE sets. Not what everyone is hoping for, but it could be what we need (if we can be efficient running) I’d hope to see Morris involved some too (but not counting on it). I think he’s an underrated player. Will be eagerly following the progression of this rookie class. I really like the players we drafted this season (although Keon wasn’t initially on my wish list), I really like the kid and think he can be a player with 17. I like our defense all around minus DE. I hope Bishop starts. Lacking a pass rusher unless von is old von or Soloman emerges as a beast

Same as every age RB. 4 years and 👋🏻 good bye. Age means nothing in his regard imo. He isn’t getting a 2nd contract. Maybe he starts slowing down at 29. Who cares, he’ll be gone.

Good- maybe he’ll stay another year. By that time, I think there’s a chance McD is replaced. I’d guess that he’s got this year and next minimum.

copy that!! Bet.

I would!! I’d bet $100- whatcha say @Brennan Huff? 😉 I don’t think he’s a lock, but I do think he’s top 6 and a 1.1M dead cap if cut helps his case

That’s fair- you don’t like his decisions on who he decided to start. I didn’t either. I was also hoping for elam and Dorian. From my vantage point sitting at the bar with a beer and not in the clubhouse, I can pretend to know what’s best too. Problem being, we can’t see much from the bar. We don’t know if dorian was able to play Mike efficiently and call the plays. and like I’ve said forever- I agree, our coaching isn’t on par with KC. I also don’t think there’s a team in the league that is on par with them. Hence back to back SBs with below average WR units

I agree 💯 I wasn’t saying McD isn’t without fault. I’d just like to see how he does in a game without @GoBills808regarding how many defensive starters we were missing- milano, Bernard, Tre, Benford, von miller (he played but nowhere near 💯), floyd played 38% of the snaps and was useless, jones was coming back from major injury and wasn’t heard from all game, Dodson managed to play 78% of the snaps on one leg, Douglas almost didn’t play due to his knee injury suffered the previous week, 2nd string MIKE Spector would have been a starter over AJ. Poyer and Hyde were shells of themselves. But yeah, we were missing 3 players. 4 of 11 starters were out- a would be starter in Spector was out- 5. That’s almost 50% as I had stated plus several others that had ability changing injuries.

i agree that sometimes it is a big issue. I agree that, under Frazier, the scheme wasn’t challenging enough. It was a huge issue. And I agree that he’s making changes on that side of the ball to try and diversify the defense. I’m sure we both agree that we’re happy about that. Every coaching staff needs to evolve. He’s doing that. But the bottom bolded, I think you’re exaggerating. How did we hold KC to 20 and 17 points in two of the last 3 games we played if they’ve become fish in a barrel? Maybe Reid and Mahomes weren’t trying that game? 🤷🏻‍♂️ your narrative that Reid/Mahomes always have their way with McD’s D is wrong. Funny how that always happens when we are healthier and have better players on the field. Beat them in 21 with Tre- lost to them in 13 seconds without Tre. Beat then in 22 with Von. Beat them in 23 with Benford, TB, healthy Douglas. Lost without them. Burrow, well that’s been a different story. He’s stomped on McDs D. Ain’t no doubt Moving the goalposts. But I that’s what you’ve done this entire debate. It’s all based on your dislike for McD. And that’s all. You’re entitled. But it doesn’t mean that you’re right
