The Hate is Real.
Still, anticipation and expectations are at an all time post ‘99 high. What happens if our record is worse than last year?
How far has ESPN fallen?
"Is Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott on the hot seat entering 2019?
In a word-No."
So...? -

They're smoking something. Allen has just as good legs and throws a much better ball. Lamar can not see the field. He's a glorified RB. I personally think Josh will be better than Darnold and in a year or two be at or better than Mayfield. Physically he is more gifted, it's just a matter of getting to read defenses pre-snap and make quicker decisions. By next year Josh will have that down. I love his attitude and approach to the game.
I agree with you on Jackson. As of right now I don't think Jackson looks like a long term starter, but outside of Buffalo, I think a lot of folks think the same about Allen due to his accuracy issues and I've got a foot half in that camp.

You'd seriously pick Rosen or Lamar over Josh. Gad we have the Beaner.
I wouldn't, but Jackson is now looked at on par or above Allen nationally.

Also please explain to me why this guy, who admits he knows next to nothing, he can't pass block, can't play special teams, and doesn't have the field vision to see his blocking down field and follow it should make an NFL Roster ahead of Murphy or Perry who both add value to the roster and know how to do all of those things.
Yeldon, Murphy, and Perry might know how to do things that he can't - they just happen to be bad at them. None of those players have an ounce of untapped potential. They've hit their ceiling as fringe NFL talent. This kid hasn't even begun to scrape the surface. That's the difference. He was one of the best in the world in Rugby, and is showing how some of those skills translate to the NFL I'll take potential over proven mediocrity any day for a 4th string player. None of them are likely to play anyway, so why do you care so much?

It's been reported to be minor. probably just a scope.

People need to pump the freaking breaks on this kid... he's making these big plays against guys who flat out WILL NOT be on 53 man rosters... and neither will he.
He's been fun to watch with 2 big plays, and I get it, he's a great story, but this guy is flat out not ready for the NFL. He doesn't play special teams, he doesn't know the ins and outs of playing the RB position, he can't block, he doesn't follow blocks when running, honestly how is this even a discussion????
I hope this kid does put it all together to make a name for himself in the NFL in 2020... but he's as raw as they come, and he WILL get through waivers because no team is going to want to put the amount of time and effort into getting this guy up to NFL Speed while carrying him on their 53 man roster. You need guys who can contribute NOW if you're going to be on the 53, and Wade doesn't have the value to be kept on an active roster. Not by the Bills and not by any of the other 31 teams.
Wade is a a great story and a project who COULD become something worth while on a 53 man roster once he learns how to do all the things RBs need to know... but he's a developmental project. Time on our PS would be INVALUABLE, as we don't need to use up a PS spot for him, and then he gets time to learn with the rest of the guys and get reps in practice. If there was a farm system I'd say send him down, but since there isn't, the only thing for him is the PS.
People need to stop being so carried away... let's not forget Nathan Peterman statistically is one of the best QBs int he NFL right now during pre-season, but we all saw what a tire fire of a player he is against real NFL talent.
Wade isn't ready, and wasting a roster spot on him is flat out stupid.
Who else is making plays against guys that won't be on 53 man rosters? He can only take advantage of the opportunities he's given. If he did it against the #1's would you say it's only pre-season?
Speed and quickness don't care who the opposition is.-

I feel like Bryan Scott would be a better pick than clay.

Wade was given an opportunity to play football for the Buffalo Bills. So far, he is earning his own way, so if he makes the 53 he deserves it. If he continues to play like this there should be no doubts.
Unfortunately, sports isn't always a meritocracy. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see them keep a guy like Perry or Yeldon over him even if he runs wild the final two games. Not one bit.

sorry mac, orton was a scrub back up, 9 seasons of accomplishing nothing. manuel, well, everyone knows his history. I'm not going back and forth with you on this because JA and MB are going to make their own history, a history that has not been written yet. I'm pretty confident though that they will fare much better then manuel/orton.
This is the dumbest thing I've read today. Thanks.

it's because there hasn't been enough games played by the present to even consider comparing to the past.
has nothing to do with the fact that both examples you use are mere scrubs.
This is literally the point of the thread...
Orton was never a scrub, he was just asked to be better than he was while he was here. He played 9 seasons in the league.
Manuel was definitely not a scrub entering his second season, either. -
No one else on this roster is capable of the two runs he's had at this point in their careers. For that reason alone, they should try to find a way to keep him and mix him in when they can hide his lack of football experience.

time will tell but I still wouldn't compare them to manuel/orton.
In the context of today? You have a high draft pick sophomore that won some games and made some splashy plays, but had enough negatives to not be considered a sure thing and a journeyman backup who's played very well on occasions. I mean, how much closer can you get?
Are you sure it's not just because the other guys didn't work out? -

this is hilarious and I'd bet 10 to 1 it was the full intent of getting the obvious reaction to such a ridiculous take. good job
Not really. No one really knows yet whether Allen is going to stick in this league or flame out in 3 years. He's in a long line of players who had ups and downs their first year and needs to take big strides in his sophomore season. Nationally, we're considered to have a bottom 5 QB situation. If you spend too much time around here you though, you'd think we already had Mahomes wearing #17.
Preseason has been encouraging so far, but last was pretty balanced good and bad, not unlike Manuel's rookie year. -
If Duke makes one more big catch I could see it going:
Brown
Beasley
Zay
Foster
Roberts
Williams
I just don't see what McCloud and McKenzie offer that you can't find anywhere. -

No, he's not an NFL caliber QB on any level.
We picked up Barkley off the scrap heap and he's 10X the QB Jackson is. That alone should tell you something. If at any time we need our 3rd string QB to bail us out during the season then the season is in essence over.
The difference is Barkley was talked about as a potential #1 overall pick prior to his final season. They were worlds apart in development and expectations coming out of college. Jackson was pretty heavily talked about as a day 2 pick. The fact that he went undrafted was kind of a shock, even if it doesn't look like it now.
-
I might draft Poyer. He's done really well for me over the last couple years. Solid 4-4.5 points a week. I could see taking a flyer on Oliver too if he's classed as a DT.
-
There's few players in the league with the talent he has, so I definitely think the Bills should stick him on the PS. However, I don't expect it to do much good, as the main job of the PS is to be a scout team - not personal development.

Given what we’ve seen of him, he’d be an unquestioned Lock -if he even understood the game like an 8 year old in America. Not trying to be facetious. He’s learning the most basic concepts of the game just in the last few months. Running away from the wall of blockers he had for a free trip to the end zone and not knowing what to do after scoring shows this. It’s kinda unbelievable, but I’m sure I’m the same way with the intricacies of Rugby. I mean, we played ‘Kill the Guy with the Ball’ when we were young. Rugby looks like the same thing to me. This is a very strange situation, but handing him a spot on the 53 without a basic understanding of the game is even crazier -incredible exploits notwithstanding.
It's an uphill climb for sure. I've always been a little curious why NFL teams don't employ personal trainers to turn guys with freak skills into legitimate players. Not sure if it's a CBA thing or they just don't view it as a worthy thing to do, but I'd like to believe if this guy had a personal coach that just taught him football day and night that he could be electric. -

I'd like to believe that Josh McCown and Ryan Fitzpatrick are best friends. They probably could start a tour guide company after they hang up their cleats.-

I apologize. I did misread your post.
It's all good. I've been a pretty heavy skeptic of this squad, so I guess it's easy to take what I said the wrong way.
I really hope they can find a way to keep Wade on this team while he learns the position. I don't think we have another back that can run like him right now.-

Poyer, Hyde, Edmunds, Milano, Hughes, Oliver, Star L, T. Johnson, Tre White, Morse, McCoy, Ford, Roberts & Dawkins are replacement level players? That’s a far cry from chanting Super Bowl, let alone ridiculously biased and uniformed.
I’m letting you know.
First of all, you misread my post - what i said was "Outside of Zay Jones I don't think there's a cut they would make that would qualify as surprising".
There are a ton of players that don't fit into a bucket of guys they would cut - in other terms, they're virtual locks to make the team. Guys like Allen, Morse, Edmunds, Star, White, Oliver, Hughes, Milano, Borwn, Beasley, Kroft, Knox, Ford, Alexander, Murphy. etc.
Among the guys that aren't complete locks to make the team, I think any of them could be cut and it wouldn't be a shock. That is unless you'd consider McCoy getting cut a shock, but I wouldn't.
We don't have any cap-casualty type players left, or young kids that are going to force a long time vet off the team in my opinion.And yes, outside of handful of proven players we have or guys with 1-2 years of experience most of them are replacement level guys including our entire 2nd string and lower defense, every WR below #2, our entire offensive line besides Dawkins and Morse (who is at serious risk of never playing again), our TE group (except the rookies) and our entire RB committee. It doesn't mean by default that they won't play well or be good down the road.

Why are you even here? Seriously, why?
Am I less of a fan because I'm not chanting Super Bowl in August like the majority of this board? If that's what I need to do, let me know.

Completely different era. We are in an era where Matt “Freakin” Stafford passes for 5,000 yards and Blake Bortels!!! Beat Kelly’s season high in yards twice!!!
Are you implying that Matt Stafford is not a very good QB?

Why do you think the Jets are really bad? What makes them any worse than our guys at this point?
The have a QB that most (outside of Buffalo) looks better than ours right now, they signed CJ Mosely (who is an absolute beast) and they have Leveon Bell?
They have every reason to think their D should be int he same tier as ours
Their WR group is probably close to equal or a little under
Their O-line has a little more proven talent, but call it a wash
Their QB probably is probably a small step ahead of ours
Their RB situation is way better than ours
I think the betting line of having this game be an even spread (including home field) is exactly where it should be right now.
