I'm torn on Kizer. There's a couple of throws in the Michigan State game where I fell for him big time. He's got something about him that draws me in. I think he's far from a perfect prospect but some of the anticipation and pocket movement makes me consider pulling the trigger on him, potentially even in the 1st.

When someone runs like that on you, look at the linebackers. It's slowly started to happen over the past few weeks but it hit crisis point yesterday; the Browns have fallen off a cliff. We have the 5th worst rush D in YPG for a reason.

January 5th 2021.

Or: Does he want a large contract? Blame him.

Easier to blame the unpopular guy.

On one hand, I always want to win. On the other, I'd love to ruin that 0-16 parade.

My my, how the tables turn. He wanted AB, Rex let him have at it. Besides that one catch, did he let Brown have anything?

Must be really bad if Kyle can't tough it out. Hope this isn't a sign of long-term issues for him.

None. He's a free agent. Just a hole to fill.

I forgot to add punter, RB2 and primary swing IOL taking up somewhere around $5.5m in RFA tenders. Might need 3-4 UDFA guys to make the squad or guys like Albright, Valles stepping up to make Alexander surplus to requirements.

Missing a starting RT, CB, WR2, WILB, potentially FS, FB - might see money eaten up pretty quickly.

Historically, the Bills have shown the ability to lose to the Browns a lot more than they have winning a Super Bowl.

Even with picking up Tyrod's option, Spotrac has us with $28,336,203 in cap space (working on a $164m cap figure). So that's looking pretty accurate.

This gave me a chuckle. That third picture is adorable. https://twitter.com/fzosh85/status/807642099357204484

No shock that with Jerry being less effective, Lorenzo has all but disappeared as a rusher. It's not like Jerry's been awful this year, his 37 hurries lead the team by some distance.

Swoon! How much do we factor in handsomeness?

We would find ourselves in another Tyrodesque situation. One year left of his contract, is that long enough for a frank evaluation? Kinda what happened with Kirk Cousins, I guess we could franchise him for 2018. Wouldn't send a 1st for him. I could live with a 2nd, I think he showed enough ability in the games he played to be worth a gamble. If he falls flat, no long term ties to him. Why not?

It's certainly easier to make this thread off the back of Colton's worst game of the season, if not his career. He is what he is, a middle of the pack punter with momentary glimpses of poor and brilliant play. He's only given up 162 return yards this season, I think that's probably been by design. Kicking slightly shorter, to the sideline quite a bit. Best execution of which was Week 1 against Devin Hester. He's not got a booming leg but he's a pretty decent directional punter. That helps him kill the ball instead of giving up touchbacks (only 2 this year on 57 punts). There's an interview with Danny Crossman in the archives for the John Murphy Show, it's worth listening to. They talk about asking him to execute a lot of different techniques and that they've put a lot on his plate this year. He seems pretty happy with the job Colton's been doing. Long-term, I think he's replaceable. His RFA tender will be somewhere around the $1.9m mark so they could grab a UDFA and let them battle for it in camp. He's not bad - could be both better and worse.

I kinda like the idea of Coleman playing NT in base, Dareus/Worthy at the DE spots.

It's all fun and games, man. No such thing as right or wrong when it comes to opinion. I was there with you on Dak last year (not with Kessler though, how I hated him). I anticipate the Bills taking Chad because they always seem to end up with QBs I dislike and pass on guys I love.

Probably from carrying the team so much.

Talk that Willie Taggart is trying to get Charlie to be his DC at Oregon.

Got the ball rolling against the Packers in 2014. Couple of nice blocks from Manny Lawson and LARRY DEAN!!!! I forgot all about Larry. http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Wk-15-Cant-Miss-Play-Thigpen-goes-the-distance/152b074c-3a29-4dc4-b565-773a66a89c10

If you're signing him to be your starter, it would be pretty insulting to offer less than what Brock Osweiler got for a player of Romo's calibre. So, you're looking at $18m/year minimum. You're assuming that he's healthy and durable if you're signing him so there's no "but...." about his value. If you trade for him, his salary is $14m for 2017 and $19.5m for 2018. Even that figure is tough to justify, given the injury history.

Given the 78th version of Chad Kelly talk in this thread, I might as well throw myself into the hornets nest (yet again). I was watching a fair bit of Ole Miss last night, looking at their TE Evan Engram. Personally, I find it quite interesting to focus in on one player. I know Ole Miss don't run the most sophisticated offense known to man but, in isolating Engram, it might be the most dumbed down offense in the Power 5. Going back through games since Kelly first started, there's a pair of trends that happen quite frequently. Firstly, very little actually happens within the structure of the original play call. Secondly, receivers are having to reach back for their catches quite a bit, especially in the short/intermediate range. You notice this with Engram especially as half of the routes he runs are quick outs. Seldom do you see him led towards the sideline. If someone wants to draft Chad Kelly in the 2nd-3rd round, they're quite welcome to. If that man works for the Buffalo Bills, he needs to be fired into the sun.
