Imo the larger issue is the way the team is built conceptually and how that hasn't translated into post season success
Fair game to question cap allocation in that sense for me
Fwiw I do think it's a different conversation if we don't have the unlucky injuries from 2022 but I still don't think we win the SB even at full health so there are still questions to be asked
I mean JJSS is a legit talent, Crowder is the guy you bring in to fill a spot.
As to the bolded I still say it's the same thing.
He threw .87 interceptions per game in 2022 and .88 interceptions per game in 2021
I think it's hard to differentiate there.
And Crowder being solid...meh. Chiefs got Smith-Schuster for 3.7M cap space while Bills got Crowder for 1.975M. Obviously Crowder got injured but one is the clearly superior player and they got the value there on offense that the Bills just didn't.
Mahomes has like a $40M cap hit this coming year and they are still going to roll out a better offensive line and similar quality skill players
I don't know whether it's a drafting thing or finding value in FA or what but I think his point stands
I think that's the point tho
For those interested here's the breakdown: https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/buffalo-bills
imo it is totally fair to question whether this is a responsible use of the cap re: investing in your offense
Yes and more importantly throwing against simple defenses w worse players than he's already dominated
I have no idea how Bills fans in particular can argue against Brady. The guy is just a killer. Perfect combination of arm/brain/work ethic plus the uncontrollable desire to absolutely rip your heart out. Absolute psychopath clearly the best NFL player of all time and second place isn't close imo
I mean Jack Lambert was 6'4" at 220 and ran a 4.7 40
Tremaine Edmunds is 6'5" 250 and runs a 4.5 40
You drop the average modern NFL player into the 70-80s game and they're a borderline hall of famer. Put Brady in there and he's probably winning the Super Bowl every single year
re the NBA
Very few of those guys from the 80s could have played today. They weren't athletic enough, didn't train enough, and the physical defense everyone likes to reminisce about were just fouls if we're being honest.
prediction
having a legit wideout for the first time in his career Lamar puts up MVP numbers playing on the tag and Ravens eventually cave and end up giving him everything he wants plus 25% on top in 2024
