I’m kind of with Tipster here. I HATE when people try to reinvent themselves. Kraft, inevitably got stuffed in lockers throughout his high school years. He ended up with some money and then tried to become the coolest guy in the room. However, you see how awkward it looks and realize he’s the same guy that was stuffed in lockers some 55 years earlier. The only difference is Bon Jovi is now 7 feet away from this nerd.

Eh, we started Nathan Peterman twice last year. These guys, aren’t good, but we have started way worse (with worse surrounding talent). If Allen goes down, I would guess that the Bills bring in someone like Landry Jones to be the backup. While he isn’t good he has a winning record, 63% completion and a positive TD:INT. You hope that he can lead you to 3 scoring drives and you win the turnover battle. You’ll be in every game if that’s the case.

No love for Kurt Coleman?!! He has 83 NFL starts under his belt.

I don’t get why anyone is mad that the Bills aren’t on here? 27 teams aren’t yet some feel like it’s a shot at them? This is a weird case of that Buffalo insecurity complex. Who cares if they are there? Barnwell has his opinion and it’s based on his formula. He didn’t even say that the Bills would be good or bad. He simply didn’t include them and some are taking offense. There isn’t some “anti-Bills” conspiracy out there. Michael Robinson thinks that the Bills will be good and we sent him a t-shirt!! The bottom line is that EVERYthing regarding the 2019 season at this point is a guess. Let’s not get mad at the guy that predicts 4-12 and send t-shirts to the guy that picks 12-4. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If their opinion isn’t “your team is great” it doesn’t mean that they hate your team/city/family/etc...

He’s acceptable as well. The point is, there are guys out on the street that you can add every year that won’t kill you. The Bills added 2 last year. There are a handful of those types out there now.

I’m not saying that he is good. I’m saying if week 9 rolls around and a guy needs to play a week you can add Jones. He’s 3-2 as a starter, completed 64% of his passes and has 8 TDs to 7 INTs. He’s not Peterman.

I think that the Bucs take a step forward. They are a fringe playoff team IMO (keep in mind I said that last year and was way off). The Jets are about a .500 team I think. That’s a pretty big step forward as well. They are a lot like us. Carolina looks no different to me. The Giants stink but have for a couple of years. They might be the worst team in football. I don’t see enough of SF to have too strong of an opinion. I guess that their DL could be good. I think that it’s reasonable to think that these 5 teams could combine to be 10 games ahead but of last year (mostly led by Jets and Bucs).

I agree on Jones. You could do worse than a couple of weeks of him. My guess is that’s why they only carry 2 as well. There are enough functioning guys out there that you can survive.

My guesses (in no particular order): - Try to convince McCown to comeback out of retirement. - Brock - Weeden - Landry Jones - Matt Cassel

Eh, the Bills rotate DL all of the time. They are starting (according to this depth chart) 2 1sts and 2 2nds, it’s not like these guys are undrafted free agents. Shaq & Oliver will play plenty.

A couple things jump out at me: - LB depth chart, the backup jobs there have always been up for grabs IMO. - Sills ahead of Duke, not sure either makes it but interesting nonetheless - Ford at RT and Nsekhe as the backup, thought that they may kick Ford inside - Love over Yarborough, we’ve heard it all offseason but that’s a change - Long as the #2 C - Oliver still listed with the 2nd team, gtfo Behind John Brown

I used Eli instead. Tried to use one guy from each team.

During mini-camp

I like the trajectory of the young AFC QBs. Baker is going to be Matt Ryan(ish) imo. Darnold will be really good and Allen has a higher ceiling (and lower floor) than all of them. The young NFC QBs are tricky because they haven’t played. Murray and Haskins could be really good pros. Who knows on Jones. It’s tough to project the NFC guy’s at this point.

I think that this may be the best OL as well.

I’m not a Luck guy but he’s been elite when he’s out there. Rivers is a guy that I’ve always liked a lot but at this point he’s just very good. He’s a HOFer though. Jimmy G and Baker could easily fall into unproven. For me Baker looked so comfortable and is like 25 so I don’t see a lot of growth or regression. He was the same player in college. Jimmy G is more of a ? to me. He may be the guy on this list (besides maybe Josh) that could end up in the most different tiers. I could see Jimmy G as anywhere from elite to bad.

Mahomes had arguably the best year a QB has ever had. He’s elite. Wentz is more skilled than Dak but has health issue. Dak is a good game manager and wins. He’s the modern Alex Smith IMO. Trubisky may still be considered an unknown but Goff and Mahomes have pretty defined resumes (regardless of how long they’ve played). Mahomes was deemed the MVP of the league. I don’t think that you can consider that unknown.

He already did it.

I just don’t agree with the list. The Legends: AFC - Brady NFC - Brees, Rodgers Elite: AFC - Mahomes, Luck NFC - Wilson Very Good: AFC - Ben, Rivers, Baker, Watson NFC - Ryan, Cousins, Cam, Stafford Good: AFC - Dalton, Carr, Foles NFC - Wentz, Goff, Trubisky, Dak, Jimmy G Bad: AFC - Mariota, Flacco NFC - Eli, Jameis Unproven: AFC - Allen, Darnold, Rosen, Jackson NFC - Haskins, Murray

Ha ha ha, this is what I was looking for. How many years do you have to be out of the league?!? You’ve been retired Willis

As far as I’m concerned this is the perfect time to turn over the keys of leadership (outside of Zo). It’s time for Josh, Edmunds, one of those safeties and Morse to take the reigns.

The Bills have a deep team this year. I see no value in keeping DiMarco over an extra OL or WR or DB. It may come down to Ray-Ray or DiMarco or Siran Neal or Teller. I would just rather have someone that may contribute more than what DiMarco gives. The running game has gotten worse each year since he’s been here and he can’t catch. Lee Smith is a superior blocker and can fill a lot of what DiMarco does. He’s an absolute waste of a roster spot imo.

11 rookies to start in 2018: - Allen - Edmunds - Harrison Phillips - Wallace - Foster - Taron Johnson - Ryan Lewis - Wyatt Teller - Keith Ford - Jason Croom - Bojorquez - Corey Thompson I’m at 12 but think that Siran Neal and/or Ray-Ray may have started a game or 2. I guess some on my list may be wrong? I think Croom was considered a rookie because he was PS before (at least I think). Not sure about Bojorquez either. He was in NE or something on a PS.
