Of course.

Brandon Beane "might be the most sensitive GM in the entire NFL"?
Doc Brown replied to BADOLBILZ's topic in The Stadium Wall
Beane is obviously sensitive. He swung down at local radio hosts and then made it the foundation of the Bills Embedded video. Ironically, he was pretty good at drafting every position but WR. -
Who is on the Mt. Rushmore of Bills Special Teams
Doc Brown replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
You're going to have the old timers show their chops and pick Keith Moody. I'd go Tasker, Moorman, Christie, and McGee. Runner up - Pike and Parrish. -
He has a few elite traits (vision, elusiveness, long speed). Best back we've had since Shady as far as cutting on a dime. Lack of contact balance, power, and pass blocking will never put him in the elite category. He's also surprisingly never lived up as the receiving back they thought they were getting from him coming out of Georgia.

What do you think Ralph Wilson would think of these Bills?
Doc Brown replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
He reached a point pry after seeing the impact of Art Modell leaving that he wanted his sole legacy to be keeping the Bills from leaving. He just played it close to the vest while still threatening to move the team every time he wanted public money. The $400m relocation fee was his "final act" in trying to convince Buffalo that all he cared about was the city and the Bills staying in Buffalo imo. Even with that lease the Bills could've paid the $28.4m loophole in 2020 to get out of the lease and some owner like Bon Jovi could've easily moved the team to Toronto. -
How many wins do the Bills get without Josh?
Doc Brown replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
They kept saying that about Favre too and he lasted 321 games before missing one. Josh is at 117. I'd be fine if he tied Phillips Rivers streak at 252. Different game. QB's were very important but not to the same degree they are now due mostly to rule changes. -
What do you think Ralph Wilson would think of these Bills?
Doc Brown replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ralph for the record was absolutely cheap. I think he gave his daughter on his death bed his favorite watch for a 15% discount. The cash to cap nonsense was ridiculous. We wouldn’t have Allen, Beane, McDermott, or a new stadium. We’d have Frank Reich as coach trying to tudor Kenny Pickett and we’d have a 7,000 sign Aaron Rodgers thread going. -
I think you overrate really good but not elite running backs. If we had to go into a game minus one offensive starter I’d choose the starting running back. I want Allen kept clean, our line to continue open up running lanes, and our pass catchers to use their full talents down the field. That’s why you can’t allocate your financial resources to give Cook top of the market money while paying an elite qb.

Who is the worst franchise QB in the NFL?
Doc Brown replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don’t even care about this small off-season debates anymore. Someone send this graphic to Nick Wright. -
Who is the worst franchise QB in the NFL?
Doc Brown replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Herbert is the one I keep waiting for him to become that guy. Everything about him tells me it’s true but he need to grow some dog in him when the rubber meats the road. -
Who is the worst franchise QB in the NFL?
Doc Brown replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Only for sure guys. Mahomes, Allen. Jackson, Baker, Prescott, Stafford, and Goff as long as he’s in Detroit. Probably - Stroud, Daniels, Love, Purdy (I like him more than most. Ufgghhh I guess. - Hurts The most applicable to this question: Murray and Lawrence.. I never see Geno or Darnold holding a Lombardi so they’re out. Tua thinks the current president is George Bush. They aren’t franchise qb’s. Caleb Williams, Bo Nox, and Drake Maye. Way too early. -
Tyreek Hill chirping about the Bills again
Doc Brown replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Did he even get the iron of what he said? -
His vision and long speed is elite. Nobody on here shed a tear when we lost Singletary to free agency. Stupid to pay him though with the massive risk factors of a 2nd running back horrible deals of the past but I’m not going to tear him down by comparing him to Singletary. Lol. We get one more year out of him most likely so make it count.
-
We could start like an Amazon boycott saying report only total qb epa per play.

Are Fan Expectations Too High for Keon Coleman?
Doc Brown replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
The stats and analytics support that at least on the offensive side of the ball. -
Minnesota lawmaker assassinated another shot.
Doc Brown replied to 4th&long's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I don't mean to judge too harshly on a guy I don't even know but to me he sounds like a real jerk. -
Are Fan Expectations Too High for Keon Coleman?
Doc Brown replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
His PFF grade was 92nd out of 98 WR's last year. His catch percentage has never been above 60% when targeted. The highest rated season a QB had when passing him the ball was 77.7 in his rookie season. That's not decent. -
Are Fan Expectations Too High for Keon Coleman?
Doc Brown replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
In what world has Elijah Moore had a decent career in his four years in the NFL? He wouldn't have been available for $2.5m in his 5th year in the league if he wasn't disappointing so far. He's had bad QB's but Garrett Wilson's posted three 1,000 yard seasons to start his career with Wilson, Boyle, Sineman, Flacco, White, and Rodgers throwing him the ball. It's just wishful thinking to think he'll make any kind of jump this year. -
I'd add that most RB's start declining after age 27 regardless of usage and investing in McGovern and/or O'Torrence is more important to keep the line strong no matter what RB is in the backfield. The main argument folks can make about extending him now is they think he can buck most of those trends and extending him now is smart because he'll be more costly next year when he hits free agency. Plus, you get the added bonus of showing the locker room that if you work hard and do all the right things we'll reward you with a 2nd contract and it'll avoid any drama this summer. Beane's weighing all of these factors for sure and that's why having a hard number of what he thinks of his value is smart. I think the bigger sample size the better even if it means paying more next year. Both sides have compelling cases though. I just like to play the odds and I'd move on from him after this year.

O-line pass blocking was above average last year for the Jets. His numbers last year in almost every advanced metric weren't that different than his last year in Green Bay. He'll have a similar year to last year at best.
-
He was 25th in QBR last year. He was 20th in EPA per play in minimum 250 snaps. This was despite Garrett Wilson and DeVante Adams at his disposal. The offensive line was slightly above average according to most of the advanced metrics yet he still took 40 sacks last year. Rodgers in his prime was the best QB I've seen in my lifetime but father time caught up to him even before he tore his Achilles. Plus, Rodgers likes to play in the spread from the shotgun. Arthur Smith has never heard of that formation. Who's their best WR besides DK Metcalf? It's not good depth there. Other than that, I think he'll be great.

James Cook is obviously a way better running back than Ray Davis at this point in career. In defense of Davis though he was often brought on in short yardage situation and when we were just trying to run out the clock late in games. That's why he was third in the league into running into stacked boxes (8 men in the box). He was also 4th in the NFL in missed tackles created per attempt so I do expect him to get better as Cook and Singletary made quite the jump in their 2nd season. Rookie wall and everything. The one game where Cook missed Davis went 20 carries for 97 yards so he's capable at least.
