    ...HARD pass.....as much as I can't stand him, Neon Deon called him a wuss on NFLN right before the start of the 2017 playoffs...said he became timid and tentative about hitting the hole, etc.....said he was nothing like when he first hit the NFL ranks.....sure looks like he was right.......

    I challenge you to make a post without excessive dots. :D

    He was the 5th WR in his draft class, hasn’t had 1000 yards since his rookie year and baaaarely did that. In his last 3 years he had 1000 yards total combined and 3 teams.

     

    when was he a star of near household name recognition? He’s always been on the outside looking in when it comes to the top talent and a country mile from elite even at his peak.

    Just from personal experience, after he started so well in Carolina, he had very good name recognition among casual fans and I think most people saw him as a young star, rising above others in his class (including Watkins). I know a lot of fans were saying we should've traded down and gotten Benjamin instead of trading up for Sammy.

  3. It appears we may have seen the last of the Kelvinator. He remains unsigned, and it's hard to envision a team finding a role for a slow, lazy ex-star with suddenly brick-like hands.

     

    At one point, he was referred to as the top WR in this free agency class.

     

    It's one of the more sudden non-injury-related falls from grace I've seen for a first-round pick in recent years, especially one who was a borderline household name at one point.

    Yeah, I wonder how far out Wilson committed to play the Lions.

    The annual Lions game is a thing of the past, I think. There wasn't one last year and it was announced at that time that the agreement was over. Maybe it was reinstated or maybe the fact that we play them this year is just coincidence.

    Do we know the Bills opponents?  Yes, yes we do.

    Do we know if they play those opponents at home or away? Double yes! Double Yes to the Max!

      

     So we just have to add in some dates between Sept and Dec released on a single day and BOOM! It’s party time?

     

     

    Yessir. Believe it or not, the dates and times do affect travel plans, and it's fun to think about which games you might want to go to and who you might like to take along. Time of year as well as time of game (Sunday afternoon, Monday night, Thursday night, etc.) actually do affect this, believe it or not. And, everyone most everyone gets a kick out of finding out whether or not the Bills have primetime games and who the opponent(s) is/are. You're in the minority, bro. Most people find this exciting.

    Sure it’s fun, if you’re not quite sure what fun is.

     

    And I’m not too sure who you’re talking to in the 2nd paragraph. Just writing thoughts in general? 

    So I guess your daily is full of all kinds of riveting, emotionally fulfilling experiences and you mingle with socialites over cocktails every evening? No time for peasants' activities like planning trips to your favorite team's games.

    Yea I am at the point that I'd rather do some new teams we don't see as often. The Giants would be fun because they are close.

    I do believe the annual Lions game is actually a thing of the past. I remember that being discussed last year. But it seems like we just got them again this year by happenstance, not because it's an annual thing anymore.

    Says the guy who’s planning a party on schedule release day.

    Yeah, making some food on schedule release day and watching the shows on ESPN and NFL Network is actually pretty fun, dude.

     

    I feel like this guy's favorite show got bumped for the schedule release show one year (since it's always announced like the day of) and he's never gotten over it.

    Should any mock draft be taken seriously?

     

    Aren’t they all nothing but exercises in fun and guesswork, especially the ones that anticipate all sorts of trades based on nothing, and not even knowing which players will be on or off the board?

    .

    The reason it's frustrating is because hers claims to be all scientific and blah blah blah, but at the end of the day it's just nonsense like all the other mock drafts.

    Why would her mock draft be taken any less seriouly than the 12 dozen (and growing daily) other mock drafts that continue to appear on this board?

     

    Just curious.

    .

     

    Because she claims to have extremely complicated models, but then she gets to change whatever she wants to make it as interesting as possible and then throw in a subjectivity disclaimer. ?

     

    It's very convenient.
