Fair question but yes. It’ll be so hard for the Bills to get someone of that caliber you overlook that.

He’s at 396 while playing basically 6 games (missed most of week 6). He’s on pace for 962 using a 7 game sample size. This is true despite them publicly saying that they need to throw him the ball more. I expect them, coming out of the bye, to throw him the ball more. He’s pretty much on pace right now. 🤣🤣 To be clear, BTJ looks disinterested THIS year not last year when he had almost 1300 yards. Harrison has looked disinterested the whole time and is going to have 1k yards. In terms of drop rate, that’s the most overblown thing in sports. BTJ currently leads NFL WRs in drops. I can’t seem to link it from Fox Sports. Lots of good WRs have drops. Chase is way up on the list since he entered the league. Below are the team stats as well. If MHJ accounted for EVERY CARDINALS DROP it’s roughly 1 per game. 🤣🤣 That’s not something to worry about. https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/nfl/nfl-teams-with-most-dropped-passes-this-season-bm10/ Don’t get me wrong, I’d take BTJ in a second. If you’re asking who I think has the better career it’s MHJ.

Obviously it’s a LONG shot. I’m still betting on MHJ having a better career than BTJ. He may need to go elsewhere to do that though. They have absolutely no idea how to get him the ball. They’ve said as much. He’s also been bad and disinterested. He was horrible last year and had 885 and 8. He’s looked suspect this year too. He’s probably going to have 1k+ yards. If the lightbulb goes off, he’s a superstar. I think it will. If it doesn’t, just being in a functional system where they get you the ball, he’s 1200 yards. With all that being said, there’s probably about a 2% chance of Arizona trading him.

Don’t know how reliable this is but:

Lol, not pivoting. I’m calling it as I see it. He looks LOST. At the same time, we’ve seen him perform at a Pro Bowl level and have a DESPERATE need at WR. I’d be willing to gamble at this point that the Bills can get the Pro Bowl guy back not the guy playing right now. The juice is worth the squeeze IMO. With that being said, I’d rather call Arizona and see what it would take to get MHJ and Budda Baker. It’s an EXTREME long shot but they need to start over. They need to move on from Kyler and tear it down. They have no idea what to do with MHJ and it’s been bad since he got there (like BTJ now). Baker’s name is always in the rumor mill. Would you (hypothetically) trade 2 1sts for them? I would.

Honestly, this isn’t surprising. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player’s “status” plummet so much in 6 months. As a rookie, he went 87/1282/10. 7 games into year 2, he’s on the block.🤣🤣 He’s looked disinterested, lazy and unfocused. It’s WILD how quickly this fall has been. With that being said, it’s an easy yes from me and hope to rehabilitate him. Keon and a 2?

11 personnel is about 61-62% of the time in the nfl (the most common personnel grouping).

Yeah, Sammy was the toughest placement for me. In terms of talent, he belongs at the top (or near it). He was hurt and lazy when he was here. He had flashes of brilliance but nowhere near what his talent showed. Go back and watch the Clemson/OSU Orange Bowl from his last year. He was unstoppable 16/227/2!!

I’d probably have Stevie Johnson ahead of Evans as well. Evans, at his best, was a better WR but feel like Stevie had a better career here. Can you even imagine how good he would be with Josh? That dude just got open and often it was unconventional. Josh would be running around and Johnson would shake free for 25. Wrs of the last 30 years: 1. Diggs 2. Moulds 3. Stevie 4. Evans 5. Beasley 6. Price 7. Brown 8. Gabe 9. Sammy 10. Shakir It would look something like this with Robert Woods and Josh Reed as the next 2.

This was from their last year of college. Obviously you have to factor in level of competition, physical traits, total number of targets, etc… That’s why I said “don’t overreact.” At the same time, this chart says, “here’s how impactful these players were when they were targeted.” We shouldn’t just dismiss it because the guy we drafted had horrible metrics. It’s not the ONLY thing that should be looked at but it certainly should be looked at…

I think that, paired with the Bills driving the narrative. They desperately needed him to be good so they went all-in on telling everyone that he would be.

We shouldn’t overreact to this because there are a lot of good players all over the map. At the same time, there are some extremes in here:

He’s just not any good. He was the EXACT same guy in college. He plays to contact instead of trying to find space. His routes are sloppy and his feet are slow. Keon had a low floor and a moderate ceiling. What he’s good at is low percentage and he’s still just okay at it. What he’s bad at, he’s horrible at. It’s not like he does some things amazing and some things poorly. He does some things okay and some terribly.

Lol, Orlovsky went back and watched the film. His takeaway was we can’t expect him to beat any corner. That’s like a golfer that we shouldn’t expect to use his putter. It’s the most important part of your job bro.

Well, the news of the day is obviously the gambling scandal rocking the NBA. I’m sure that we will see more and more of this as we move forward but this one is obviously HUGE. I just saw that Billups arrest is tied to a poker operation run by the mob. It’s bad when “poker operation run by the mafia” is a better outcome than “HOF player, now coach, arrested for gambling scandal tied to NBA games.” Imagine how much he could impact props?!? Lol, that just feels too convienent. I may have been born in the morning but it’s not this morning.

Bills 24 Panthers 20

It’s WR and maybe WR x2. The defense is getting healthier and you have to play Hairston if he is healthy. You could add a depth corner but not someone that you’ll play ahead of him.

I don’t disagree there. I’m more saying, “if your specialty is incredibly low percentage then I don’t have much use for you.”

That’s like saying “his bread and butter is fadeaway 3’s. He is much better at turn around fadeaway 3’s with a hand in his face than the average player.” The play is a very low percentage play to begin with so I don’t care if he gets 25% while most others get 18%. It’s stupid to be running plays that are a coin flip at best.

Add in the draft resources over the last few years and it’s a much higher percentage in terms of your most valuable assets.

I’ll bet that the Bills use this $ (or a significant portion of it) as well as the sale of junk from the current stadium to fund their foundation. That just makes sense.

Lol, I’ve been monitoring. He was definitely the 2nd most worn at the start of the season. With the release of the new ones we have seen a spike in Cook jerseys. Keon is probably 2nd and maybe 3rd.

I just don’t think that they can admit that failure. This offseason they were feeding the narrative of how improved he was. They were telling us that he was in line for a big year. The Bills are driving, and have been driving, the Keon narrative since he was drafted. If you go through this board for the last year and a half, you will see Keon truthers EVERYWHERE defending him and pumping him up. He is almost certainly the 2nd most worn jersey on Sunday’s in th stadium. It doesn’t feel like they will walk away.

Really well said!! That’s perfectly articulated. The irony is that if they stacked points and limited a team’s ability to run, the defense would be better (not good but better). Instead they try to limit the number of possesssions in a game and the defense’s time on the field. Every game is close for that reason.
