Davis seems like a solid addition. Get 4 years out of him then draft the next guy. Such is the worth of the RB in the NFL

Mitch wasn’t the holder

Good discussion with you and Shaw. I wanted to comment on the value of expertise. One of the truly dangerous things going on in the country today is the lack of respect for expertise. We saw this most vividly during Covid on social media. I am a scientist with reasonable knowledge of virology and had hairdressers among others tell me on social media they knew more about Covid than me or other trained professionals. Front offices in the NFL have way more data than folks on TBD, thus a better chance of picking correctly. More data always is better than less. There are a few folks on TBD who really dig into as much film and that as they can, and I fund their assessments more worth a read. But the vast majority base in on maybe one YouTube video, if that.

Thanks for the detailed reply. My position is pretty simple: let’s see what happens.

There’s only one cut this year I think. If he acts up, cut him. No big deal.

So?

Every one of these guys is a low risk move. If they turn up well in camp, then they provide an asset to the team. If not they get cut.

I’’m glad you’re proud to be a troll. Everyone aspires to that, i know.

It’s amusing at some point. Yes they invested more high round picks on WRs. And yes most of them have not delivered.

I think we all love Josh, but his improvement will come when he uses the entire set of weapons at his disposal and does do all over the field as you suggest. And if Coleman can make big plays out of bubble screens, fine by me. Bring the D up closer to the line then let Samuel or Shakir get behind them. I think we have more weapons than many are giving credit for. Diggs to me fell victim to two things: 1. Brady wanting to diversify the offense more and 2. while I have no proof, I suspect Josh was sick of dealing with him and let McD and Beane know.

Different philosophies. The Bills have no reason to apologize for the trade no matter what happens. KC wanted a speed guy, we didn’t. We wanted a bigger guy for Josh. It may work out for KC because they have Mahomes.and Reed. The Fish have gone for speed but it hasn’t gotten them far because they have Tua.

I believe you win up front. I would have spent more capital in the O line. Give Josh more time then WRs get open regardless where they’re drafted.

And trading for Diggs. And Shakir is shaping up. I might have gone after one more somewhere along the way. You act like they can play 8 WR at a time.

Well yes, hindsight is great, isn’t it? Because we can go back years and talk about WRs drafted in later rounds that were great and guys drafted in round 1 that didn’t pan out. Over the last several years the Bills drafted a RB that is a good pass catcher in round 2 (Cook is working out), a TE (Kincaid is working out), and a WR (we’ll see with Coleman). And traded a # 1 for Diggs. Facts are stubborn things.

Would you have drafted Reed or Diggs?
