    I’m guessing you haven’t had the “pleasure” of meeting in him or trying to help with his “charities”

    I actually met him several times, once at a pre-game party outside the stadium, and he "graciously" took time to take a picture.  He probably would've punched me out though if I asked for an autograph?

     

    Besides, I'm not sure how the sad autograph story relates or ties in to the point that he quoted in his response to the assertion that there is no bigger self promoter "begging" to be relevant.

    Has there ever been a bigger self-promoter than Andre Reed?  Jesus Christ.  This guy BEGS to be relevant.

    Is this serious?  I don’t get that impression from him at all.  Certainly not to the extent to elicit this type of reaction for one of our HOFers.

    If the Bills draft a WR in first 5 rounds or make a trade for one, I don’t see how Zay stays. Brown, Beasley and Foster are starters. Roberts is a lock. Duke offers far more the different kind of WR than Zay. And Zay doesn’t play ST. Roberts can play the gadget plays that McKittrick ran last year. 

     

    They are only going to have 3-4 WR active on game day plus Roberts who will always be active barring injury. 

     

    Right now I think it’s Brown, Beasley, Foster, Duke, Roberts, Zay. In that order. With Zay not active. Although it’s possible that Duke just doesn’t perform. I think he will. 

     

    There is also always a surprise WR that makes it. Maybe it’s Cam. Or McKittrick and Zay is traded for a 6 or 7. 

     

     

     

    Duke ahead of Zay?!  And Roberts?!  Wow.

    I think people underrate Zay Jones. He was Buffalo's leading receiver last year. Despite catching passes from Derek Anderson, Matt Barkley, Nathan Peterman, and rookie Josh Allen in 2018, he put up 652 yards and 7 TDs in his second year. As the season was coming to an end, he really began to come on. His last two games featured 5 catches for 67 yards and a TD against the Pats and 6 catches for 93 yards and 2 TDs against the Dolphins.

    I'm not saying he's a world beater, but he's young, talented, cheap labor. And if you tell me "he'll never get better", I say B.S.! Eric Moulds had less than 300 yards in seasons 1 and 2 of his career. How did Robert Woods do in Buffalo, yardage wise ? I'm sick of sticking talented WRs in bad passing offenses, watching them struggle to produce, and then letting them walk away to another team who knows how to use them. Let me see Zay Jones get one full season with Josh Allen and the improved o-line, and then we can make a determination on shipping him off.

    Nice post - fits with your user name!

    I'm not a Bills fan, but you guys dodged a bullet here. AB quit on his teammates the week before their most crucial game of the season. He only cares about his stats. Not winning. Stats = $$ so who's to say... We've all seen him pout and make scenes while winning huge games if he doesn't get his touches. We've also seen him laughing and high 5-ing after crushing losses as long as HIS stats are good.

    Totally, totally agree!  Very happy this didn’t happen!

    Yet... How does a team like Buffalo compete in environments like this?

    Isn't it the same as always - money?  My understanding is in AB's case he wanted his contract redone, and probably would've been open to OBJ money but the FO didn't offer that.  Gotta sometimes pay above market rate if you really want a difference maker.  In this case, I'm glad they didn't.
