New Buscaglia mock has Bills trading up to 7 for Malik Nabers
oldmanfan replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
Where are these holes? I’ll go position by position: QB: Josh. Duh RB: Cook and Williams. Pick up a road grader late in the draft OL: all set there, only lost Morse and picked up Collins for depth DL: all set at DT, might look at DE in the draft but have 3 guys there already LB: no holes there CB: have your starters, probably add a guy late S: have your starters in Rapp and Edward’s, backup with Lewis, probably draft another. So spend some capital to get a WR. -
We got a lot of sacks, just what we wanted, until the ACL.
-
Saying Allen is rotting on the vine is perhaps the most ridiculously hyperbolic statement made on this board in recent memory.
-
Beane has a plan. He wouldn’t make a move like this without one. And we’ll see it play out this month.

So You Need to Move Diggs..Why the Texans??
oldmanfan replied to Rich Stadium Original's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not much of a market for Diggs according to Greg Cosell. -
Do you think Allen feels relief after the Diggs trade?
oldmanfan replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
You have to assume both Allen and Brady gave their OKs. -
Then maybe he needs to adjust his style somewhat
-
Should have an incomplete listed, but give it a C right now. Grade will change after the draft.
-
Was a great run, but he’s 31 now and production fell off last year.
-
It is a good decision if the dissection he was rumored to be causing was true. I cannot imagine this deal was made without Josh being OK with it.
-
I think they’ll use this year’s 1 and next year’s one plus the #2 from the trade and move into the top 5-10. They walk away with one of the top 3 WRs in the draft.
-
Hill at the peak of his career, Diggs on the downside of hi.
-
True. As would Jerry Butler.
-
Agreed. And while I’m surprised I think back to Bill Walsh who said it’s better to get rid of a guy a year too early than a year too late.
-
Again, Andre Reed would like to say hi.

Andre Reed would like to say hi.

I’ll believe it when I see it. But if true I assume they talked to Josh and he didn’t want to deal with the distractions anymore. Has to be a prelude to a move way up in round 1 for one of the top WRs in the draft.
-
So when you say criticism of Josh has to stop you’re not serious. Looking back through this thread it strikes me there is actually agreement on many things: 1. Josh is a great QB. 2. People can accept that Josh can continue to improve on the mental or processing aspects of his game. 3. Deficiencies in other team aspects particularly on the defensive side and on coaching need to be improved going forward.
-
I’m still confused. What can we say on the message board and what can’t we say?
-
I think Favre is the floor for Allen. Allen has better physical talent and if he can add to that some of the mental aspect of a Montana he can be the best ever.
-
Well stated.
-
Designed scramble would be an oxymoron one would think.
-
So as Shaw and I have said, he is a great QB that can continue to improve on the mental side of his game. Is that kind of commentary allowed or do we have to stop because you say we must?
-
Calling specific runs is different than going through progressions on a called pass play.
-
I agree with you Shaw. Love Josh, delighted he’s our QB, and look forward to his continually making himself better. I think the difference between you and I and some other folks here is in the comparisons to other QBs. Some say Favre and are happy for that. But I think one can argue Favre cost his team championships with his gunslinger approach. Great QB to be sure but could have been even more accomplished. You and I admire a guy like Brady or Montana who were much more surgical in approach. Maybe not the same physical skills as a Favre, but ultimately more successful. I think if Josh could take his insanely great physical skills and approach the management skills of say a Montana he would be unstoppable. And I think he can do so.
