More than one person has alluded to Crowder being injury prone.
Here's his career games per season:

15
9

Really, the broken ankle this past year was his worst season and I don't think it's the same like a chronic soft-tissue injury some players keep getting. So take out that one season and was very reliable for three seasons, then just played 9 games, then followed that up with a full season, and then two 75% seasons.
Not horrible. And if I was making the decisions, he would back up Shakir, not start, so availability wouldn't be quite as essential and he'd get fewer reps and chance for injury. I think his veteran presence with Shakir — if he's that kind of player to mentor a younger player — would be beneficial. Beasley would be great in this respect but at 34 in a couple months I think his legs are gone.
I don't think McKenzie could mentor a 10-year-old, let alone another pro player.I'd rather have Beasley and at his age I don't want him tbh. Crowder has played a full season once in the last 5 years, missing nearly 2 full seasons worth of games in that span.
Or I'd rather keep McKenzie even and I don't want him either. But he caught 2/3 of the balls thrown his way and 74% of his catches went for 1st downs or tds(31/42). A percentage Crowder has never came close to.

Going to be honest, I've never been a big believer in developing players. I suppose to a certain extent a few years in the league and NFL coaching helps players get to their ceiling but I think for the most part, beyond being put in the wrong system or being put in the wrong position, guys who end up being superstars were on the verge of being those guys when they stepped into the league. For instance when I look at the list of the top ten sack totals I see a bunch of guys who have been at the top of the league since they stepped onto an NFL field. Outside of Haason Reddick who was playing ILB his 1st 3 years in the league, Alex Highsmith and Josh Sweat who werent immediate full time starters, its a list of guys who have were good from word go.
Do I think some of the issue with our Defensive Ends is our system, yes I do, but I am not expecting anything more from Epenesa, Basham or even Rosseau than we have already seen. Rosseau is the best of the bunch, but he is still very far from elite.
Haason Reddick-19.5
Nick Bosa-18.5
Chris Jones-17.5
Myles Garrett-16.0
Matthew Judon-15.5
Micah Parsons-14.5
Alex Highsmith-14.5
Brian Burns-12.5
Maxx Crosby-12.5
Josh Sweat-12.5
J.J. Watt-12.5
Ok, using your list let's do a bit more fair of a comparison. Total sacks 1st 2 years in the league:
Micah Parsons-26.5
J.J. Watt-26.0
Myles Garrett-20.5
Maxx Crosby-17.0
Brian Burns-16.5
Groot-12.0
Matthew Judon-12.0
Nick Bosa-9.0(Hurt only played in 2 games his 2nd year)
Chris Jones-8.5
Alex Highsmith-8.0
Haason Reddick-6.5
Josh Sweat-4.0

With any kind of look nasty, Josh Allen, being a shell of himself, isn’t going to happen for many years
That's why you do it only with players you think you'll extend at some point in the future. Gives you more years of kicking that can down the road.

As a slot backup, I would be fine with cutting McKenzie and bringing back Crowder who got $2 million this year and might come cheaper a year later and after injury. Crowder is slightly older but has far more than three times the career yards that McKenzie has.
I wouldn't cut a guy who scored 5 tds for us this year, for a guy who's missed 21 games in the last 3 years. Crowder has missed at least 4 games 3 straight years.

Why is no one saying 2020…that was arguably his best season. He had time to pass and was absolutely dealing from the pocket. I hope to see that again in 2023
I think because many of us knew we couldn't hang with KC yet and we couldn't. The 38-24 score didn't tell the whole story, we were losing 38-15 with 7:30 left in the game. Last year we could. For the first time since the early 90s I saw a Bills offense really click in the playoffs. Boy I've really missed that.

if that was the year when we played the Niners in Arizona, then I agree. I absolutely loved that win. Josh was so insanely dialed in.It was.

When I'm talking to a drought era born fan, it's like when they talk about what life was like before the outbreak on walking dead. I feel for you. It's so bizarre to have experienced this version as the only successful version.
To be honest there are not many successful versions in Buffalo's history.😂
But if they want to know what, let's say 90-92 was like, imagine similar regular season success(1990-92 - 37-11, 2020-22 - 37-12) except going to(And losing) the Super Bowl every year. Including the infamous "wide right" game, easily the most heart breaking loss in my 45 years of being a fan.

Just look at Milano and then look at Bernard. Milano looks much more muscular.
Yeah, he does look bigger, I don't know. Checked a few different places, all say the same thing. And Bernard only has an inch on him(6'0" vs 6'1"), so it's not like he's alot taller.

I think Bernard may be just too small, but so was Milano and he is pretty jacked now.
Bernard is actually listed 1 pound heavier than Milano. Milano is listed at only 223 pounds. I was pretty surprised by this, I knew he was a bit undersized, but damn. Surprised he doesn't get injured more often with the way he hits people.

Let's get him. He can play 2 snaps the opening game, tear a hammy and a be out 12 weeks. Let's Goooo
I didn't realize he had 66 catches and he missed like 8 weeks
Out 12 games? Lol, that's more missed games than he's had in the last 6 seasons combined. That being said, a hard pass on Keenan, we don't need more old players. We need to get players who are younger and cheaper.

Found this while looking for an Allen Hurdle Gif. What is going on here. Allen looks almost submissive like he is being cuddled by Tua?
https://twitter.com/houtz/status/1574133542270951427/mediaviewer
This is immediately after the offense failed to kill the clock on the last drive in the week 3 at Miami sauna game. Real temperature of 120 on the field, he was spent. Passed for 400 yards with a gimpy Davis, no Kumerow(hurt 1st half), No Diggs for almost the whole 4th quarter plus part of the 3rd and early in the 4th with Diggs already on the bench Knox & McKenzie went to get IVs. He was throwing Gilliam, Morris, Singletary and I think they were lining Cook up at WR they were so desperate for players. He was also the leading rusher, the usual 1 man show.

Best RB we’ve had since Shady. He would take a ton of pressure off Josh. If Josh has a bad game we can just pound the ball.
At what Spotrac estimates his value($12.3 million per year) at they would have to shed $33 million just to get under the cap and sign Barkley. That number only has our 1st round draft pick factored in too, so it would be closer to $35-$36 million.

That’s an overreaction-definitely not worth trading him for a 5th or 6th
Absolutely. I've been down on Gabe before, but then I have to remember it's high risk, high reward when it comes to his play.
He was 33rd in yards and tied for 15th in tds, both good rankings for a #2 WR. It gets better when you see he's T-48th in targets.

If they just plan on running it back
(again), especially when they’ll prob be weaker on defense than previous years, I have no confidence in any extended playoff runs by this team.
Why do you expected the defense to be worse? Are you expecting 4 All-Pro caliber players to be injured again like this year? We get Hyde back, Tre should be much closer to his former self being almost 2 full years since his surgery. And Von surgery went really well, the only work done was replacing the actual ligament. All the "rough parts"(Drilling holes through bone ect) of the surgery they were able to reuse from his 1st ACL surgery. Supposed to cut a couple months off the rehab and last update was he was going to be ready week 1. That came from his own mouth. That's alot of elite talent to get back on the field at once.
-
None. We get at least 17 weeks of Bills football a year, in the Josh Allen era even more, I'm not wasting it over a coaching decision I have zero control over.

The "some" are wrong.
Oh, I agree. My guess is they have 2-3 more cracks at it. If there's no Super Bowl win after that then you could see the Pegulas move on, but who knows.
I don't think they're in any hurry to move on from McBeane, especially after this past season. If there's no title and Josh is or is approaching 30 you may see some urgency out of the Pegulas then. But I think they're safe for the next few years.

People haven’t looked at our cap situation. I know you can do some restructures but we already did a few. It’s not happening this year They need to create over 21 million in space just to get to 0 and operate. More restructures and we’ll be the Saints in a couple years at 100 million over
Some believe McBeane are on the hot seat in this coming up season. One indicator could be how much cap space they create. I was told they could create about $40 - $45 million pretty easily through restructuring. Concentrating on the younger players(Allen, Milano, White, maybe Dawkins). Restructuring only with players you think you may extend again, then you can spread it out over even more years.
If they were inclined to keep Oliver they could extend him to free up some more space. Cutting a few players could also free up space, cutting Hines would save his whole salary, so $4.8 million just with him.
Either way I think we're going to see alot of this while Josh Allen is still Josh Allen or we win a Super Bowl.

Ouch. Eagles have 5 FAs in the top 28 on this list.

What would it cost the Bills to trade up and nab Quinton Johnson?
To leapfrog the Chargers and trade with Seattle at 19 it would be something like our 27th, 91st & 129th picks, maybe a bit more if they want a little extra value for trading back.

KC and the Bengals had roughly 90 to 100 catches by rbs. We had 60 between Singletary and Cook. I've already harped on running the ball more. I've never thought we had an OL problem or RB problem as far as running. We just don't hand the ball off and therefore no rushing production. The more I look the more I feel the same way about the short passing game. I'm not saying abandon a vertical passing attack but (for the sake of not being predictable) mix it up.
I agree with running the ball more, it's been this way ever since Josh broke out in 2020. I agree we need more in the short game. But as far as RB's number of catches, if you include Singletary, Cook, Hines, Moss(While he was here) & Gilliam the number increases to 79 receptions from the backfield. Gilliam is technically a FB, but he's lined up in same backfield.

Jeez, just get rid of the cap, but the owners, would go into convulsions.
Oh yeah. Late 80s -1993 Bills teams all over again! We take a HOFer here and a HOFer there, oh you have 3 All-Pros come on over. Uncharacteristically Ralph was spending money like crazy in those years trying to win a title.

However, Dorsey can't only be the one to blame. Plenty goes to head coach McD for his hands off approach especially with the offense.
I wouldn't say McDermott is totally hands off with the offense, at least this past year. I can't say with 100% it was Allen, but I'm like 99% sure it was, in an interview he said McDermott would come into the QBs meeting every week and give a full run down on the opposing defense they were about to face. What they liked to run, what they're strengths & weaknesses were and how he thought they would defend them that week. I don't know if he's always done this or if he was doing it cause Dorsey was a new OC. Either way, for Dorsey and Allen(Especially Dorsey) that's like getting the answers to the test ahead of time. I'm wondering with the change of OCs last offseason if maybe Allen started getting too big of a say in the offense. Also maybe Dorsey doesn't put Allen in his place when he needs to, maybe too buddy buddy with him. Not saying that's what happened, but just a thought.
Another thing is I think the offense, especially Allen, missed this year was Daboll's experience and feel for the game & his QB. I had some issues with Daboll's playcalling from time to time, but overall he had a much better feel for the game & where Allen was in said game than Dorsey seems to.

More I consider it I think the more accurate color to date is Aaron Rodgers.
With the exception of one season out of about 15 the Packers always underachieved in the postseason. But it was not always Aaron Rodgers fault.
So far that has largely been Allen and the Bills.
I said this also. They even are 5th(Rodgers 100.1) & 6th(Allen 99.6) in career postseason QB Rating. They have each have played at a very high level in the postseason yet their combined postseason record is barely above .500(16-14). Neither gets the support they need to be successful in the playoffs.

Rodgers won a SB and earned MVP throwing for 300 yds, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs
You're saying he couldn't perform when it mattered?
Agreed. He also has the 5th highest career postseason QB Rating, right ahead of Josh(100.1 vs 99.6). The 45 tds vs only 13 ints is an impressive 3.5/1 ratio. For reference some of the greats: Brady's ratio is 2.25/1, Peyton's is 1.5/1, Montana's 2.2/1(But 11/0 in Super Bowls). Josh's is 4.25/1.
I hope we win multiple Super Bowls with Josh, but I could totally see a Rodgers like career. Where he gets 1 ring, but so many other years squandered because of lack of help and coaching. They have the 5th and 6th highest career postseason QB Ratings and yet combined they're barely above .500 in the playoffs(16-14). That's ******* nuts!

Crowder better do alot in those 6 games he plays before getting injured again next year. Too late, he just got injured while reading this post. 😂
I was referring to the 74% of McKenzie catches going for 1st downs or tds. He does more when he touches the ball than Crowder does. He has more tds and the same 1st downs as Crowder over the last 3 years even though he was a part timer/gadget player for 2 of those seasons. That doesn't even count the additional benefit of running the ball. Like I said I don't want any of them, but Crowder is a distant 3rd between those 3. Why would anyone want to re-sign a guy who's shown he can't stay healthy?
