I dont see how trading a guy off knee surgery who was third team is tanking. Come sat he wasnt making the team. Get the most for him and move on.

Your being dramatic. The games havent started yet. Gaines and Matthews are not as gifted athletes as there counterparts but one could argue they are just as good football players. Ragland was 3rd team. He could not beat out a special teams specialist a fifth rd rookie, a 6th rd rookie and a june free agent linebaker. McDermott is making the point, be doesnt care when or where you were drafted, how gifted you think you are. If you are not part of the team or fit your replaceable.

Darby is not Mccoy or Mcclain.

Watkins was oft injured and they were not going to pay big bucks for... I think they felt Gaines would be a suitable replacememt for Darby and a better scheme fit. Getting Matthews gaines and a 2nd amd 3rd wouldnt hurt too bad now but set them up to reshape the franchise next year. Ragland for whatever reason drop down the depth chart and was not making the team for any other reason he was a 2nd rd pick.

He didnt build his team around those guys. He built a foundation and than those personalities can fit in on team friendly deals or get cut. For every Gronk they have a Chad Johnson.

Maybe they should have kept Jones. Yates looks useless. The 4th preseason game buffalo has looked like a dumpster fire for years.

That is why everyone in the front office is gone. Ragland was in trouble of not making the 53 so they took back all they could when he was going to be gone come saturday anyway.

I tend to agree you. Every position on the team needs to be earned. Its not only a business but also a competition. The Best guy plays. Some walk in the building the best some take a year or longer. Giving a young qb the job because he cant be anyworse than the starter is never good. Bortles Henne, any Cleveland qb the last 10 years.

The second half preseason young qb across the league is very similar. The qb is the best player on the feild. One of the few guys who is making the team. Preseason game 3 tells you the only thing you need to know in preseason. If Taylor plays poor Saturday night I would give peterman the 2nd half and 1 or 2 series with the ones. You can send a message but also avoid a full qb controversey.

Your are right Boldin did not say word for word the same thing. Watch the video after boldins first or second practice. He is talking about building trust and knowing where everyone is suspose to be at on the feild. To me that is saying the same thing a differant way.

2 or 3 weeks ago Anquan Boldin said the same thing. Matthews next week will say something similar, will you than concede Taylor is better than Wentz from that comments?

They have the 2016 Buffalo Bills recieving corp without the run game and with a lesser qb. I am safe to assume that 2nd round pick is in the 30's.

Your stretching there. Seems like standard new wr talk to me. Nothing more or nothing less.

They had an MVP qb. Defensive player of the year linebaker and playmaking corner. I get he model you are looking for but they were vastly more talented.

If the offense looks really bad in the first half does Peterman get first team reps in the 3rd quarter. Odds. 70/30 no?

Same speculative tweet from a week and a half ago. Mccoy wont be trade because Buffalo would swallow dead cap. If a team wants to be the 89 Minnesota Vikings or Mike Dita for Ricky Williams and give up everything for him sure, outside of that i do not see it happening.

That was sour grapes from Kelly and has put him on the hotseat in Southbend. The overall talent on that team was pretty poor. If Kizer plays decent. Nothing spectacular from the qb position and they are 7-9.

Remove shoulder pads and helmets. Without a helmet technique changes. Concussions will come way down.

The browns have played the draft roulette for years and are still nowhere.

Pressure dictated the underneath throw. He winds up to hit Thomas that is a strip sack or possbile int due to the hit. In most cases leave the all 22 to scouts and coaches.

I used Ej Manual because Watkins is playing with Geoff his second year in the league too. Im not a big believer in Geoff and dont think he will have much success. Im not blaming his failures or Ejs as a starting qb on Watkins. Im simply illustrating the effect a dynamic Wr effects the overall success of an offense.

For OBJ and everyones head explodes. If Buffalo gets a Hershel Walker type offer for Mccoy you have to do it. Outside of that type of nonsesnse I dont see it happening.

Watkins will do for Geoff what Watkins did for Manuel. He is a very good player. But he is totaly relied upon the qb to get him the ball.

See if he can return kicks. Outside of Tate who would do that if he gets hurt? White? Idk if I would risk our top corner.

The NFL is filled with top talent. The most talented Wrs rarely win it all. You also get to use the picks the following offseason instead of waiting a year.
