People on both sides look for anything to prove theei point. Look how fast we got out of cap hell - amazing job Beane. Nevermind Beane did help create the cap hell by wanting his guys only.
Who is right? The team was better record wise before many of the cuts. Cant ignore this was a bad team last year that got worse. This year will be telling to see if they are better. Guess what, if not and the team sucks again...we could easily be in cap hell again. Cutting guys like Hughes, Star, Morse, and more could easily add up to $40M+ in dead cap.
Right, and just to be clear, it's not that I think they can't turn this ship around. I just don't go handing out attaboys for solving problems that didn't exist before they created them. All of the progress so far has been towards getting the team back tot he level it was before they wrecked it. We'll see if this strategy actually allows them to surpass the previous ceiling, or if it's just a different flavor of 7-9 to 9-7.

Funny how the McBean haters have disappeared from this board?
Two years ago people where apoplectic on here regarding “ The process”, looks like they might be onto something both business- wise and talent evaluation- wise.
Did we? The dead cap ridiculousness was a manufactured crisis created by McBeane just so they could wipe every shred of existence of the previous regime while putting in their own initiatives that they claim are vastly superior, but have yet to show any results. Seems strikingly familiar...
I think we have to go a long way to go before anyone can start claiming this squad is objectively more talented than the 2016 squad they replaced. -

I kind of feel sorry for Rosen - a bit. Must be tough to go from being a touted 1st round "QB of the Future" to the guy who's "just not as good" as a 14 year veteran who has failed to make good on starting opportunities with 4 different teams.
Someone here pointed out that a camp competition between a young QB you expect to develop and a veteran, is almost always a bad idea because the veteran will win every time. He knows more about the offensive system, he knows how to learn the plays faster, how to diagnose the defense - and the things that make it hard to do on Sunday in the Fall, the contact, the pressure, the wear and tear on the body, just aren't there.So either Rosen is not in the Phins long term plans, or they're following a Bad Plan.
It's better this way. If they started Rosen he'd get hurt and Fitzmagic would steal his job away at least for a minute. It's happened 7 times, which should be HoF worthy. It's maybe the most insane story in pro football history. Ryan Fitzpatrick - A Football Life.

I glimpsed the tv preview of who might be next and they showed darnold and allen. Not sure what day it wad. Couple days ago. Thanks!
Most national media have him in the bottom tier of the league right now. I've seen him ranked 25-29, which is probably where he belongs until he proves himself. As of right now this looks like one of strongest overall QB groups in NFL history. Pretty much every team has a guy that can win games and with the exception of the Dolphins, Skins, Ravens, and Titans just about everybody else has a guy that's been very good in the past, is very good now, or has legitimate expectations that they will be very good. -

Perhaps not released, but do you think they’ll succumb to his demands? Particularly given Rivers’ comments to the media this week? Sounds like he does not have the support of the locker room, and RB’s just don’t get paid the same way anymore (with Bell being an outlier). The play seems to be to let your RB play out their rookie deal and then move on.
It's their choice whether they want to pay him or lose him for little to no value. I don't blame these RBs at all. I'd hold out immediately after a good season for more guaranteed $. The writing is on the wall that these teams abuse them time and time again, so you have to do the same as a player. Gotta get yours.

He wasn’t signed to be a “#1 WR” in terms of expecting 1000+ yards and 10+ TDS, obviously, he would be making a lot more $. The reports are suggesting that he’s emerging as the #1 target for Allen, which makes sense given they are a great match. His production last year was much higher with big armed Flacco than after they switched everything with Lamar. All of this has been discussed since March.
He was never the #1 target in Arizona or Baltimore ... but put up 1000 as a #2 target a few years ago and probably hits that last year too without the move to Lamar. I don’t see why his good showing so far should he looked at as a negative. He’s not Allen’s only option but they have a nice connection so far.
I don't think that's the case anyone is making. It's certainly not mine. It's great news that he and Allen are on the same page and doing well together. It's the thought of that being the best thing we have going on Offense when he had $100M to burn that's troublesome.

What are the numbers you're referring to? I'm not saying he's bad, but what are the numbers that show him as a top 5 CB?
Think of all the resources the Bills gave up to get into position to draft Allen one year after they could have had Mahomes or Watson without giving up anything except their regular pick. Hopefully it wall works out in the end but it's certainly a missed opportunity, at least.
That's the crazy part. They thought Allen was worth way more than Watson, who was as close to a lock to be a good NFl QB as there is, and Mahomes, who while viewed as a similar project to Allen had The same or better measurables with a far more prolific college career. I'm just not sure how you make that decision a year out when a great QB just falls in your lap when you obviously need one.
It's over an done with now, but on paper it's an all-time mishandling of draft value.-

Well I'm actually there with you on that one. I think he will have a couple great games, and then disappear sometimes. He's always been more gimmicky than dominant.
I would completely believe he has a couple of sick 3 digits multi-touchdown games. In my eyes, our hopes for this year have to rest on a guy like Foster, who has all the tools and has shown flashes, with guys like Beasley and Brown playing complimentary roles as they've typically done throughout their careers.1 minute ago, GoBills808 said:I'm pretty sure the 'games started' stat per PFR just means who was on the field for the first offensive snap...it's pretty meaningless overall.
It lines up with very low production numbers, so take from it what you will.

Milano is the only good pick. We traded the pick that was Mahomes, but at least we got a QB in the 5th!
Or Watson. As good as White is, with either of those picks we'd already be a lock for a wildcard.

He had 715 Yards and 5 Touchdowns last year with half the year his QB was a RB...
Cool. I'm rooting for the guy, because I need to. I'm just not under any sort of illusion that he's going to have elite or even better than top 30-ish WR season

1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said:What is his Long injury history? His 5 seasons:
16 games
15 games
15 games
10 games
16 games
He has dealt with hamstring issues every year except last year that has affected his productivity in each season. He may suit up for games an average amount, but expect him to be banged up and not produce. In addition he had a pretty bad concussion a few years back and he has sickle-cell anemia.But yea, #Roasted
Evidence for his ailments for those that didn't follow it when it was happening:
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrowJo02.htm
After breaking out his sophomore year starting 11 games and breaking 1000 yards with 7 TDs, his next two seasons with the cardinals:
6 GS 517 yrds 2 TDs
5 GS 299 yrds 3 TDs
That's a big reason he only got a 1 year deal from BAL. If you're expecting much more than 650 yards and 5 TDs from him, you're expecting him to be something he's not, in my opinion. -
A 29 year old WR with one 1000 yard, 7TD season and a long injury history is our top wideout. Sweet.

Weird...
I don't know that it makes a ton of sense really...
I think it does. He's turned into a pretty damn good receiver late in his career playing on some really bad teams. I think he gives us a bona-fide red zone threat where we've really struggled for a lot of years, and probably could be had very cheaply.

Apparently Ngakoue balked at a $17.5M/year deal. That's a lot of cap % to pay for ~10 sacks a year.

I fail to understand why people still hold to the fallacy that Sammy Watkins was a”stud” receiver. His stats never upheld the hype.
I mean his first 2 years were better than Reed's first two years and he played half of his first season hurt. He's also averaged more YPG than reed over his career. Different era's yada, yada but Watkins is far from the bum many on this board would like to believe.
His career has been largely derailed by injuries, but the talent and production has always been there when healthy. I think he'll play a massive role for the chiefs this year. -

We still have a bottom 5 unit in the NFL. Maybe bottom 3.
If John Brown is better than your #2 WR, you have a weak group.-

We have zero LB depth ,and one of them are bound to get nicked up. I'd love to have foster, and he'd be cheap.

But in reality, especially for reporters, looks, voice, body language, play an important role. Also plays a role in almost every service industry. It's part of the marketing.
Male reporters, especially successful ones often look like river trolls.

The only difference is you're older and have adopted a "kid's these days" perception. The world doesn't change as much as you think it does.

People have preferences and that’s ok. In certain situations, taking action based on those preferences may be discriminatory. In my case, in this situation, I think I’m justified. As a media viewer, i’d prefer the Bills media journalist be an attractive woman as opposed to an unattractive woman. If she’s unattractive, I’ll still view the content just the same.
This world is just too sensitive if people have a problem with this line of thinking

Unless one of McCoy or Gore implodes, I could see buffalo trainers hiding mats all around Devin Singletary's house with the hopes of saving him for next year. Unless it becomes clear he's going to become a league leader, I don't see him being a necessary piece this year. If the Bills are serious about keeping all of these guys, they've really put themselves in a bind somewhere on this roster.
Maybe DiMarco is finally done?

Except every coach we've had in the last 30 years has averaged 8-8 or worse. There's little reason to believe these guys are any different, especially considering their 15-18 record through two years.
