    The Bills were more willing to pony up the adjustable rate mortgage for Von who had finished the previous season healthy and was Dominant in a Super Bowl run. Whereas Dhop is coming off injuries back to back seasons
     

    I think the Bills are also looking at not having too many bad contracts on the roster to have to avoid dead money. Von’s deal is possibly going to cost the Bills eight figures in dead money by 2025 or 2026. I think you can stomach one of those deals to try to “win now” but you can’t stomach two or more. 
     

    I think in the end the Bills will try to get Dhop on a suped up Floyd type deal. Get the man a good chunk of money by adding some void years. But I doubt they want a huge multi year commitment like Von. 
     

    To make such a deal happen probably would need 10 million in space

    Please tell me what injury he had last season.

    If it was funny, I'd agree with you.

    It's not a joke it's a fact.

    I said it the way I meant it.....  East Rutherford is the ARM PIT of NYC... When you go there you can look across and you can see the NYC skyline, but East Rutherford is pretty much a ***** hole 

     

     

     

     

    I still love it every single time I hear someone say it, I have no issues with it, its not old for me, and I can't wait to hear it again , and again

    Agreed but as a NYer I don't want East Rutherford associated with NY

    It's easier than that.  They are NY teams because they were founded in and spent a combined total of 75 years in the city.  Then, seeking a new stadium to play in, they both ended up in the Jersey swamps 5 miles west at the Meadowlands because it was cheap to build there.   The boundary between the city and Jersey is by far the most blurred sate line in the country. 

     

    If the Giants hadn't moved to NJ 47 years ago (and the Jets 39 years ago), then yeah, bringing this up in 2023 might still be funny or a real burn to those 2 teams and their fans.  They really don't get how this makes fun of them at this point.  If you live in the city, you already knew that.

    I live in the city and most people will argue that they play in NY because it's closer than Buffalo. When I ask if the Dodgers and SF Giants are still NY teams the discussion ends. NYers get very angry when you tell them their teams play in NJ. My main argument use to be when coming from the city I would drive by the Nets arena before I got to Giants stadium.  How is that arena in NJ and then when I pass it deeper into NJ it became NY again. Does it really matter not at all. But it bothers their fans so I like it 🤣

    Orchard Park is a pleasant suburb of Buffalo

    I still love the diss.... Bills are the only pro football team that plays its home games in NYS, it will never get old !

    Fixed it for you

    I never understood the whole "Jets and Giants don't play in NY" thing.

     

    OK, so what?

     

    So the Bills are the only team actually headquartered in NYS.

     

    Who gives  F?

     

     

    When you say "we" are you speaking for all 9 million people in the 5 boroughs?

     

    Or are you speaking for yourself?

     

     

     

     

     

    When I say we I'm speaking for everyone I've met,  but that was cute. I hope you are from here otherwise move along cause you don't know what you are talking about. NJ is viewed as the little brother not as part of NYC by New Yorkers.

    That's hardly important. 

     

    Anyway....They aren't NJ's teams, they are NY's.

     

    Then you don't consider the Jets and Giants as NJ teams either.

     

    I didn't day NJ is part of NY.  It's a suburb of the city.

    The reason I do is a bit different than others. Living in NY and knowing that driving over the GW bridge means I'm going into NJ is my reasoning.

    NJ is a suburb of NYC.  It exists because of this.  This is only a thing for upstaters to discuss.

     

    It's not a point worth making...over and over

    What if I told you I am in NYC since birth. We don't like Jersey and we don't consider it part of us.

    Yes, it's more likely than not Hopkins would have better stats. It's not a guarantee though. No one knows how either would work with Josh.

     

    But that doesn't change the fact that he already signed Harty to a contract worth 5 this season that would cost more to cut him than keep him. He also spent a 1st and a 4th on a Big Slot WR. He's not looking at those guys and thinking "unproven, better go get Hopkins" like you and others are. He went out and got them because he has a role for them here.

     

    Beane isn't going to pay big money for Hopkins. There's a reason he's visiting Tennessee and New England and he hasn't signed with us already. Beane has a price he's willing to pay (if he's made an offer at all) and he's not sweating whether or not Hopkins comes around to it or not. Because he's a luxury at this point.

    This is a joke right? Last year Hopkins missed 8 games. And he was 81 yards short of Harry's career yardage in a single season where he only played half the games. 

     

    Harty Career 798 yards

    Hopkins 2022 season 717 yards

     

    Please stop.

     

    Can't guarantee he says 😂😂😂😂

    In targets? No, probably not. But if he proves to be a consistent speed deep threat for Josh, it's not completely insane to think he'd surpass Davis in yardage. And if that role comes to fruition in conjunction with Knox and Kincaid and Diggs as WR1 - Davis could become more of an afterthought anyways. Harty may or may not be a guy to step over Davis if he begins to faulter. But the way he's a complete and total nothing and an afterthought to you and other posters isn't fair. He's a player that Beane targeted in the 1st Wave of Free Agency and one of the few players he actually paid some money for outside of the minimum. He didn't do that to be completely buried on the Depth Chart and with fears of what he brings to the table.

     

    Between him and Dalton and then Trent and Shorter on the bottom of the depth chart with what we already have, he's done a lot and built his pass catching core the way he liked. That's why we're not going balls to the wall for Hopkins. He isn't the need here that he is on most other teams.

     

     

    That's fine that's what you want. But, again, the fact is that Beane targeted him very early in Free Agency is one of the select few he actually paid some money for. He didn't do that thinking "not a known commodity".

     

     

    It means that Beane thinks he is a player worth acquiring and paying that for. Whether or not you think he was worth it or is a good player is a mute point. 

    You didn't answer who would have better stats on the Bills Harty or Dhop. I'm pretty sure that was done on purpose.

    He is the most realistic chance. But Harty's contract raised a lot of fans eyebrows. And looking into him and the contract he was given, it's pretty clear that us and other teams looked at his 2021 campaign and saw a player that in his first and only opportunity to get any sort of reps as a WR instead of just a KR - proved to be a fairly consistent deep threat on an average offense with an average QB. 

     

    Is it likely that Harty will become a Superstar? I wouldn't say for sure he will. But with Josh Allen throwing him the ball instead of Jameis Winston on an offense with the other playmakers we have? I don't think you can say there is no chance. And I think fans that are completely writing him off as a nothing signing are misinformed or wanting to discount him because they'd rather have a shinier toy.

    If both Harty and Hopkins were on the Bills this upcoming season. Who would have better stats? 

     

    I know for a fact 1 guy will perform. The other is an unknown. I don't want shiny. I want a known commodity.

    I dont see an upgraded roster. The swap from Singletary to the plodding NE back is a downgrade. The defensive leader going to Chicago and replacing him with a rookie or expanding the role of AJ Klein is a big downgrade. 

     

    oh they got a new TE2? Usually takes those guys a year or two to develop

     

     

     

    You said this same nonsense yesterday and I posted stats to prove this to be incorrect. Yet here we are with you repeating it

    I've gotten beyond optimism and pessimism.   Winning a Super Bowl is difficult.  The Bills have enough on offense and defense to do it.  They either will do it, and people's optimism will be justified, or they won't, and people's pessimism will be justified.

     

    I watched the Celtics lose last night, and kept thinking that they are a team that just doesn't have the toughness, including the winner's attitude, to win the championship.  As I watched, I worried that that could describe the Bills, too.    It would break McDermott's heart to admit that his team isn't tough enough to win, and it's up to him to prove that they are. 

    Tatum got hurt on the 1st play and was invisible for the rest of the game. I don't know how hurt he was but he didn't attempt to play threw it and packed it in... That essentially ended the game

    No way. Murray is washed up, a depth piece, he may not make the 53 man roster

     

    Harris is a plodding back, very different than Singletary and not nearly as good

    Wow this is bad

     

    177 819 4.6 5 vs.160 703 4.4 5

     

    Ploddings best vs Devin's best 

    202 929 4.6 15 vs. 188 870 4.6 7

    If KC gets him the seasons a wrap is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. DHOP is a damn good receiver but he’s also in his 30s and coming off an injury. 
     

    Yes 

    Do you mind sharing what injury he's coming off of? And when exactly did he get injured. I'd like to let him know he's hurt cause I'm sure he's also not aware of this injury, with the rest of us

  13. 18 minutes ago, Shaw66 said:

    That's excellent.   I didn't need the list of drops, because the fundamental point is obvious.  The Bills don't have a lot of guys to catch a Hail Murray.  Diggs maybe.   Davis occasionally.   DHop is definitely one of those guys.  

     

    So, that makes the question a little bit different.   I agree, I guess, that adding him would be about adding a playmaker just so that you have him when you need him to make a play, at the end of the season and in the playoffs.   It's similar to, but not exactly the same as, signing Miller last year.  Regular season production is nice, but the Bills were clear that they brought him to make crucial fourth quarter plays, particularly in January.   He's nice to have on the field at other times, and he contributes, but that's not what he's here for.  

     

    Miller's different because everything indicated that he had more miles left, that he could be that guy for three years or more.   So, he filled both a longer-term need and a win-now need.  Clearly, I don't know, but Hopkins feels more like a one-and-done guy, which is not McBeane's style.   If he projects as a three-year contributor, and if the chemistry works, then he would be a more important acquisition.

    He stops the double teaming of our best player. That alone is huge.
