    What are you trying to say about him being the anti- McD?  You think McVay hasn't established a culture for his team?  I highly doubt that.  As for fans worrying about their cap situation and lack of picks, the've gone all in on winning this year or next year.  Then their team will get broken up, when they have to pay Goff and others.  And we'll see what happens to them then. 

     

    I liked Sammy, wish he were still here.  But not at 15 million a year.  He's done nothing to support that.  And with the Chiefs in 4 games so far he has 14 catches for 176 yards and 1 TD.  That's just not enough production to merit the huge contract.

     

    No, I think McVay understands how to build a winning team.  While McDermott's plan is essentially replace the previous regime's guys with my own guys.  You can keep preaching culture, but forgive me if I call bull **** when guys like Kelvin Benjamin are on the roster.  That's fine if you don't think Sammy is worth his contract, I'm gonna go with Andy Reid.    

     

    We'll see what happens in two years, I personally believe McDermott will be gone after the 2020 season.  That said, I'm interested in what McVay/Snead do when Goff's contract is up.

    McVay built such a great bridge with Sammy they kept him for one year and weren't interested in resigning him.  Dareus has like 9 tackles in 4 games this year.  Gordon has played one game in NE and that means Belichick has built a bridge?  Watch that"bridge" crumble if and when Gordon screws up again.

     

    Oh, and Milano?  Defensive player of the week two weeks ago.  I think a lot of teams would be happy to have him.

     

    Finally, cap space.  They made a commitment to get out from under contracts that were weighing down the team.  Dareus being the prime example.  You don't give a huge contract to a guy half assing it through games.

     

    The Rams did try to sign Sammy, they valued what he brought to the offense.  McVay immediately replaced Sammy with Cooks, because McVay understands how to build an effective offense.  By the way McVay proves everything McDermott believes is wrong.  Probably shouldn't bring his name up, seeing as he's the best argument against McDermott.  

     

    I'm sure LA fans are sitting in worry about their cap space and lack of draft picks though.

    NO ONE IS DISPUTING SAMMY WATKINS IS A BETTER PLAYER THAN KB. What I am saying is Sammy is vastly overpaid and we got a 2nd round pick plus a good corner for him. Do you think the missing piece to a Bills championship are Sammy Watkins at 16 million per-season and Cordy Glenn and Dareus around 13 million per?

     

    I think they could have gotten a similar player like Lotulelei for much cheaper. Dude is going to be a huge cap hit next year and I honestly think there were players out on the market that could have done what he does for 5-6 million less annual average. Murphy is at least an easy contract to get out of. The Bills are likely unable to get out of Star's deal until 2020 and more realistically 2021. 

     

    Sammy, Cordy, and Dareus do add to a winning effort.  Interestingly enough, all three teams are they play for are winning. 

    Lotulelei is a significantly less impactful player than Dareus and it shows, same can be said for the replacements for Sammy and Cordy.  

     

    I love the money argument people go with while we have one of the weakest rosters in the NFL.  Especially considering guys like Robert Woods, "we can't pay for a number 2 receiver!"

    Not that he is much better. KB size probably helps him. Kerley wasn't very good WR, he was average at best. I don't think this really hurts us, but after last weeks performance everything is doomed.

     

    I will wait a few more weeks to see if that is the case. 1 game in, 15 to go. Hard to judge on 1 week, with a lot of new pieces. Maybe they aren't as bad or maybe they're worse.. We should know in a couple months.

     

    It's not like we thought we were really winning anything this year. 

     

    Kelvin Benjamin's size doesn't mean anything because he doesn't utilize it, he might as well be 5'10 190 pounds.
