  1. For those down playing this and thinking having a quality punter doesn't matter. We were one win against the backup Steelers away from making the playoffs the 12 seasons Brian Moorman was here.
  2. It is interesting if there was ever a major disagreement between Beane and McDermott over a draft pick we'd never know it publicly. As far as the draft it seems Beane has the final say. The last embedded video is a good example. McDermott wanted Van Prann in the 4th round but Beane decided to take Ray Davis in that spot. They took the chance that Van Prann would be there 13 picks later in the 5th.
  3. Yeah and to make matters worse Araiza's lawyer claimed when the allegations became public all the teams knew about it prior to the draft (which they didn't). It happened right before the last pre-season game so the Bills had to move fast to sign a competent punter before the season. I remember the outrage that he even took the flight with the team to Carolina. Scumbag lawyers, lack of NFL guidance, and just bad timing led to his release.
  4. You know the Chiefs are in our heads when we're talking about a team signing a punter.
  5. I'll just go by recent guys (post 2000) that I never cared for. McGahee, Maybin, Dareus, Benjamin
  6. Just do away with the designed runs. You do that by surrounding him with weapons and building up the trenches.
  7. How would it look compared to the rest of the league if the Bills took a WR in the 1st and 4th round of the 2020 draft?
  8. Do you include a 1st and a 4th for Diggs in this equation?
  9. My main criticism is him as far as helping Josh is not signing D. Hop last off-season when he could've made it work salary cap wise. He sure would've been an upgrade from Davis, Sherfield, and Hardy.
  10. He also threw four picks in that game. It's more of a case of Lawrence's stats were so bad his rookie year because Urban Meyer may have been the worst coaching hire in the last ten years at least. I guess you could make a case for Adam Gase or Nathaniel Hackett but still. It was bad.
  11. That's all their regular season games they've played in their career up to this point. Both played 50 if you include the playoffs.
  12. Trevor Lawrence is obviously better but I found this interesting....
  13. Because most GM’s are new because the old one’s got a d or worse.
  14. He's somewhere between an A and B. Definitely a top five GM in the league. To answer your questions. His best move besides drafting Allen was trading for Diggs. His best draft pick so far in terms of value was Taron Johnson. Knox, S. Brown, Shakir, Benford, Bernard, and Davis are also in the running. His biggest miss was Cody Ford despite us all loving the trade up at the time. I would say Elam but the book hasn't been written on him yet. The Basham pick is still infuriating. His best free agent signings were Morse, Brown, D. Williams, and Beasley. His worst contract given out was unfortunately Von Miller.
  15. His mom tweeted to breathe and there's nothing to worry about. My mom for the record is dead.
  16. He lost Adams in free agency which is my biggest Diggs fear with Allen.
  17. That was the game I realized Rex shouldn't be allowed to be the head coach a pee wee football team. He blamed not challening a clear incompletion because they didn't show it on the big screen in the stadium. There were a few more wtf challeng and non challenges in that game if I recall. The lack of detail with him in almost every facet of being an NFL head coach was astounding.
  18. The poster is so slow he doesn't realize 2nd round picks only get four year contracts 😉. I kid but I think Gary Coleman may still be able to beat him in a race.
  19. Probably not. I would pull out all the stops to try and trade for Aiyuk or Metcalf (and give them the bag) so Allen can have a true #1 WR in his prime for the next five years. It would give Coleman time to develop as WR2 and would open up the middle of the field for guys like Shakir, Kincaid, and Samuel. Maybe Beane tried already and they weren't for sale. Who knows.
  20. Could the range of potential outcomes be part of a trade package for Aiyuk or Metcalf? I kid. Kind of.
  21. That's pry the reason but the only reason I bring it up is Beane did the same thing with Howard's contract with an added void year. I just caution people not to read too much into the guarantees in Hollins's and MVS's contracts although like I said it's pry at least above 90% they both make the team.
  22. True but it just shows me they're willing to eat a little bit of dead cap if a player is as bad as Howard was in training camp/preseason. If Hollins is horrible in preseason then they'd pry swallow his $1.1m in dead cap. What's interesting about MVS's contract is if they were to cut him they added some void years so they wouldn't eat all that dead cap right away.
  23. When they cut OJ Howard and ate $2.6m in dead camp my thinking about the importance of contract/guarantees when it came to roster spots. I agree with your list but am not ruling out a surprise cut of Hollins or MVS.
  24. It's possible but they also have Ty Johnson and maybe will have Curtis Samuel return kickoffs with the new rules in place.
