    the next person that says "SOURCES?!?!!?#!#!# OMGGG PLEASE GIMME SOURRRRRRRRRCES" needs to have their toilet upper-decked.

     

    what you need to do is just google it if you don't believe it instead of sounding like a huge douche asking for sources

    Ok. Thank you for letting me know. Have a good day sir

    He plays nothing like Manziel.  That is just the go to for ignorant posters who want to discredit the ability of x QB.

    Where did I say he played like him? Please don’t switch around my words.

     

    I said his path is very similar to Manziels in terms of ripping up college, having off the field issues, having no success in the NFL, and then getting cut for off the field issues.

     

    If you don’t see those similarities, I don’t know what to tell you

    Kelly’s injury senior year is why he fell on draft day. Manziel had to start on day 1 because, Cleveland. Kelly was a legit heisman candidate in college before off-field issues and injuries. Kelly has not even had a chance to prove himself on an NFL field yet. 

    Ok so even more similar to Manziel then lol.

     

    Broncos inked Keenum to a big contract this off season. Obviously the Broncos did not have much faith in Kelly or they would have gone for a shorter/cheaper bridge contract like a Bridgewater or Bradford for a year

    Denver had the luxury of sitting him while he recovered from serious injury...Cleveland, where QB’s go to die, never had that luxury and are almost always forced into starting their unlucky draft picks day 1. In the meantime CK worked his way back up to being a play away from starting. And we have yet to see him play on Sunday so how does this compare to Manziel? 

    Rips up college

    Huge problems off the field

    No NFL success

    Gets cut from NFL

     

    Difference is Manziel was considered a much higher prospect and won a heisman trophy.

    Do whatever you gotta do.

     

    I watched every snap of him at Ole Miss. He may be an idiot off the field but he’s an absolute STUD on the field.

     

    Screw the choir boys. I was football players on the Buffalo Bills. Chad Kelly is a football player. He absolutely SHREDDED SEC defenses every Saturday.

     

    Cannon, accurate, pocket presence, can read a defense...

     

    He was a top pick before his injury his Senior season.

    College success do not equal NFL success.

     

    The kid sounds like a piss poor version of Johnny manziel.

     

    Rips up college, complete headcase off the field. Except the difference is he can't even start for an NFL team like Manziel did for a few games.

    Goliath must stumble sometime. Why not Monday? No one on that team is taking the Bills seriously so I like this as a trap game. At the very least will be a lot closer than people think, maybe down to the last few min of the 4th. 

    Don't do this to yourself haha.

     

    How many times have we been excited to play the Pats at home, only to see the Bills get the living s*** knocked out of them time after time lol.

  7. 1 in 5, so 20 percent for myself.

    I was hopeful at first. Then I was skeptical after this offseason's moves coupled with gameday decisions that McD made throughout his first season, but continued to think they need to get the offseason to bring their process full circle.

     

    After this statement, I think I'm pretty much out.

     

     

    He still thinks it’s 1975. The way he speaks, it sounds like he thinks good defence and a good running game are the primary factors to being successful.

     

    While those are factors, he’s missing kind of a small factor... Like maybe being able to throw for lots of yards and throw for lots of touchdowns in 2018?...

    But that's from the optic of 2018. If in 2022 we have a superbowl winning team stacked with all this young talent that turned into studs (not saying, or even dreaming that it could happen) then we'd be just like the example- or at least how the OP explained it. Now, I do admit that since I don't know the backstory of the Astro team, that it is possible his explanation was off, I don't know. I was only responding to his initial comparison. 

    Do you really see a lot of young talent on this team though? I don’t yet.

     

    White, Edmunds. Those are 2 guys I think will be good for a long time. Especially white.

     

    Allen? Probably not to maybe.

    Milano? Probably will always be a descent player but not great

    Dawkins? Same as Milano.

    Phillips? Hard to judge now. Looks serviceable .

     

    Thats basically it though.

    I'm not saying that. (I also don't know who they are, as I don't follow much Baseball) I am saying that in 2013 they had a lot of unproven potential, and in 2018 we do as well. That's the point of the OP. Nobody thought the Seahawks would have a great football team with their mid to late round picks who were nobodies. 

    Haha fair enough. If you don’t follow baseball though, I would highly recommend you don’t agree with the OPs comparison with the Astros then because it really isn’t close lol.

     

    But I see what you’re saying and I understand your point.

     

     

  10. 3 minutes ago, whatdrought said:

     

    Not really. There is no such thing as cant miss players and draft status does not indicate success in rebuild. The OP is making that point that we are stockpiling young players who fit our mold and will then be the core of the team. All of the players that I mentioned seem to fit that billing so far to some level or another. 

    If you think the Bills have the young talent of players such as Altuve, Springer, Correa, Bregman etc. I don’t know what to tell you. Not even in the same ball park as the Astros. Literally and figuratively

  11. 5 minutes ago, whatdrought said:

     

    Round of selection means nothing, what they show on the field means everything. So far they have shown to be decent players with bright futures. They could become the core of this team going forward, they could not. 

    In this comparison it does mean something though.

     

    The Astros had elite level young talent. They were Can’t miss players that were drafted top 3 in consecutive drafts.

     

    A mid 3rd round pick that looks “descent “ does not compare to the elite young talent the astros had.

     

    Most teams have 2nd and 3rd round picks that are descent players who could have promising futures.

    White. Edmunds. Phillips. Johnson. Milano. Dawkins. Allen. 

     

    Allen is still a great young prospect. Note the word prospect. It’s too early to say which way it will go. That’s kind of the point of the OP. 

     

    The four our most important pieces to building a team are LT, Pass Rusher, CB, and QB. We have young prospects who have shown some promise in 3 out of 4. 

    I personally wouldn’t say Phillips, Johnson, Milano and Dawkins are “high end” talent.

     

    They are mostly mid round picks. They are playing well for the most part I will give them that. But they aren’t high first round talent/potential like the Astros had, as that was the comparison in this thread.

    Nice LAMP bump btw

     

    Luck has a good game and all of a sudden he's Tom Brady and or Drew Brees.    :rolleyes:

     

    They are still 2-5.  

     

    FTR    I never said he "was done", I've said the team around him is lacking and he's not great enough to overcome that.  

     

     

     

    His team his awful. I don’t think any QB can overcome that. 

     

    Even Drew Brees (one of the best QBs of all time) has missed the playoffs with more talented rosters than the colts have now.

    What I've learned from the Bills this year is that when they play elite qbs with experience who know how to read the field and exploit mismatches, they get destroyed. Rivers, Flacco (I actually think he's pretty good, although not great), Rodgers, and Luck all chewed this D up and spit it out. Mariota and Watson? Not so much. The one outlier is Minnesota/Cousins, but that was just a weird game -- punctuated by the fact that one of their best players was (metaphorically, but only sorta) shipped off to the insane asylum right before the game.

     

    I think they ended up getting annihilated by the Pats (twice), the Lions, and the Bears (because they're not going to be able to score). The D will be able to put up a fight against the Jets (twice), Miami (twice), and Jax. But the offense is so bad that the only way they win is by 16-13 scores. 

     

    I can't see any better than 5-11. 4-12 sounds about right - splits with Miami/Jets and losing to Jax. They lose the rest big.

    Can`t really disagree with you. If I had to bet, I would also say the Bills finish 4-12 this year
