    I'm curious what Cleveland and Baker do this off season, I don't think he gets a long extension but do they let him play out his franchise tag and then franchise him or extend him after next year? As to me he's reminscent of Kirk Cousins as he's good but not great.

     

    I wonder to what extent it being Cleveland will have an effect too. I can't remember the last time they had a good QB and one that offered stability.

    And I continue to have no idea if Daniel Jones is good or not.  
     

    Next to impossible to evaluate him with what he keeps getting stuck playing with. 
     

     

     

    Yeah, I feel like he could be a Geno Smith in the league as a backup or a Ryan Tannehill that does better with a more competent team.

    Week 9: Bills at Jags

    No one ever said to take the Jags likely.

     

    Point is, the Bills are light years better than Jacksonville and shouldn’t struggle with them.

     

     

    It comes down to interpretation though, right? Did the Bills struggle this past weekend?

    I feel more comfortable with this lineup than with the one that would plug Cody Ford back in.

    Thought Boettger looked solid against Houston, and in the past, Feliciano has moved around the IOL pretty seamlessly

     

    Which leads to an interesting question. Based on his versatility, is the contract for him still a good one? If not, I wonder what would be the right price for him.

    Do players know immediately if a rookie is good or bad?

    I think to a certain degree it's probably true. They can probably tell if a guy doesn't have it, but I'd think there's some flexibility on whether a guy is average, good, or great.

     

    Yeah, I think the Lorax's of the NFL could be misjudged.


    That being said, I think I read that some players told Marrone that EJ wasn't good enough after their first year. (Which probably led to Marrone telling Whaley to fire him at training camp since I imagine the argument was about needing a better QB)

    Trade deadline buzz

    I could definitely get behind Singletary plus a mid-round pick for Miles Sanders, but are you willing to give him a second contract?  If not, we're doing that for a 2 year player. 

     

     

     

    The counter point, not that I'm advocating it, is any veteran that will draw interest plays a role in the comp pick formula. It's a reason why teams will trade 3rd or 4th rounders knowing they will get them back.

    Gug - You make a good point - some people just can’t be pleased no matter what is done.  This thread makes a similar point(s). 

     

    That basically is the crux of this that and a "did we win our last game?" mentality. Some people view this as baseball or hockey (get a good enough % and be happy) and some people view this as a basketball free-throw, if you didn't make the shot something is wrong and some people view this as Ricky Bobby "If you ain't first you're last."

     

    The latter group tends to be very vocal and quick to call players busts.

    We need to ease off on other fans' misery.

    Eh, you're not wrong OP, but anyone who would consider your view is probably being kinder in the first place.

     

    It's probably cyclical. Those who need to consider your words most are the ones least likely to, the ones who will get most upset if other fanbases start hating us (due to obnoxious fans) and most likely to raise their blood pressure when Nick Wright, PFF or some other source doesn't adorn a Bill's player with the praise they think they deserve.
