    It could have been Phillips and Harry

     

    Star should have went

     

    I'm not here to defend Star, but he isn't a FA and cutting him would undoubtedly have cap ramifications. 

     

    Clearly,  coach values him more than most folks here do. Without a deep understanding of Star's cap hit, I'll just have to say I trust the Process.

     

    Go Bills!

    No, nor should he but I'm glad for Jordan. He gets paid and is not in our conference. Happy for him.

     

    He was always going to be a rotational player here with a Harry. There's no way we can pay 10mil per for a part-time player.

     

    That said, I find it hard to dislike him and wish him the best. He's getting paid and will get the playing time he's hoping for.

     

    I'll be curious what kind of numbers and impact he has this year. I think some guys actually perform better when they get to rotate out and get some rest. I suspect he may be one of those types of guys. Time will tell.

    Important thing to note is that BUFFALO signed a player away from a team like NEW ORLEANS who wanted him back.

     

    Do we know this for certain? Obviously they didn't want him back THAT badly. These were also the same guys that wanted Byrd in a bad way. I mean Brees and Payton have been great but I don't recall NO having some standout track record with FA's.

  4. After 21 pages of reflection I'm feeling pretty stoked.  I think the deep draft, my desire for Ruggs, the skewed Hopkins deal, and late hour was clouding my judgement.

    I guess I was also initially concerned with the cost, and his rumored attitude. Glad you guys have cleared that up for me. His contract, especially in comparison to Coopers deal really sets this straight. Gotta love a guy with his skill set and ability to make contested catches . Go Bills!

    We got no playoffs they won a Superbowl. They obviously didn't need him and neither did the Bills since ewe did nothing with him on the team. Was a bad move

     

     Wait... What? are you making the case that the trade for Shady was a bad deal?

     

    Also, Im pretty sure he helped break a 17 year playoff drought. Color me confused. ?

    Throw out all of the regular season individual records (rushing, receiving, passing yards, etc.), they will broken soon.

     

    This has kinda been the case with passing in general over the last decade or so. They've made it soo hard for defenders during this time that passing stats aren't what they used to be. Look at guys like Stafford, Rivers, Winston, Ryan, Goff etc etc etc... this list goes on and on. Look at the numbers these guys put up, none of which I would consider elite yet seasonal numbers dwarf some of the true greats. Let's not even look at the receiving numbers guys have put up either. We'll get over it in time and we'll all have all these things to argue about for years to come. ?

    Watch some file of Rice's rookie year, then come back....

     

    Here's to hoping Dawson Knox can mirror the greatest WR of all-time.

     

    Also while JR had a tough rookie season, he didn't learn to catch in the pro's. He was one of the most prolific college receivers of the time.

     

    66 balls as a sophmore, 102 as a Jr, and 112 his senior year.

     

    " He became a standout receiver and acquired the nickname "World" due to "his ability to catch anything near him."

     

    Again, Im not bashing Knox but it's not exactly apples to apples. JR had more catches as a college sophmore than Knox has had in sum total of his Career at this point.

    Looks like we're rolling with what we've got at TE. You could definitely do worse than: Knox, Kroft, Croom, Smith, Sweeney... although one of these guys might get cut. Solid "B" imo

     

    I'd grade that position group a "C" at best. I unlike most of this board am not terribly high on Knox. I just don't think pro's learn to catch @ 23yrs of age. I see him as a liability in the passing game and  he was 2nd fiddle to Lee Smith in the running game. I'm certain he'll make a couple of splashy plays again this year and this board will go crazy over his potential.

    I don't want bash him, and I hope he proves me wrong, but until then this group is a "C".

     

    I still think the real gem here may be Sweeney. I'm disappointed we didn't see more of him last year and I hope he gets more opportunities this year. Go Bills!

    Translating "going for it":      Trade up for Ruggs...

     

    I'm no scout for certain,  but I worry that he hasn't had to make alot (or any) contested catches. In his highlights he's always wide open. I don't expect this to be the norm for him in the NFL. He'll probably see more press coverage and over the top help, especially if he's moves into the #1 WR spot here. I certainly wouldn't complain if we landed him, but I'll be watching this closely if we do. Thankfully we have Beane and I trust him more than any GM we've had to date. Go Bills!

    It seemed like about 2 months ago that Espn said that a punishment was “imminent “ for spygate II. Anyone hear anything?

     

     

    Yes, They were punished with 2x 3rd round and 2x 6th round comp picks for their role in Spygate. lol

     

    They'll probably get docked one of those 6th round picks for cheating, ha.

    My Prediction is he excels in his role is this zone scheme. He's still elite athletically and McDermott won't deal with any clown garbage from him.

    While I don't hate the signing, I would not want him to line up as CB2. I do believe he's a liability on the back end and is clearly on the backside of his career. I also hope it doesn't preclude us from bringing KJ back for additional depth.

     

    As for being athletically elite, @ 32 I think that's a pretty big up-sell.
