That can't be right. Everyone is saying he's worse than Worthy, one of the worst route runners and question whether he is a good fit for JA. I don't know who to believe anymore.

Yeah?!?......and how do you know this? Do you sit in on the scouting department assessments of player production and potential? Does Beane have you on speed dial not making a move until he talks to you first? Does the FO come to you looking for advice on players and draft picks? My god, my head hurts.....i gotta get off these boards.

Oh, that sly son of a ***** has his hands in everything.

You would trust Bills fans over 2 guys who have actually played the sport? Come on, man........i'm actually getting a migraine headache here.

Some people have actually watched a little more than a YouTube video to assess this guy, myself included and to judge a guy's talents only from social media outlets and YouTube is grossly negligent and irresponsible. Go back and watch full Michigan State and FSU games (you can find them on YouTube.......apparently, you are a YouTube master, so you'll figure it out) and watch the complete package on this guy. It's not always the plays that you see on highlight reels that highlight his skills, but it's the plays he makes that you won't see on social media outlets.......the blocking, slant routes, etc. That is all i have to say to you, sir.

So, are there people who don't like the pick because it's bad for the team or they don't like the pick because he wasn't the guy that they would have chosen?.......if it's the latter, i can assure you that Beane and the FO really don't give a rat's ass who the fans would have picked and actually, neither do i. I have spoken.

Well, Cole Bishop is supposed to be good at covering TE's, so we got that going for us, i suppose.....

Jesus man, i almost puked my lunch.....

****, this ruins every god**** thing for us......i don't like this one ****ing bit.

And who at this point is "better talent"?

Terry talks like he got hit in the head one too many times, talking about absolutely nothing besides making only himself laugh with his absolute nonsense jibberish.......and Johnson talks like he's still on the sidelines, not knowing where exactly he is, clueless in every aspect, droning on and on and on and on about a game that has passed him by. Its unwatchable and yet, they're still going strong.

Yeah, i never understood that......they are beyond terrible.

good......pay the man.

Do yourselves a favor and watch some Michigan and FSU games, not just YouTube highlights, but some actual full game footage and then tell me you don't like this kid. It's not just about the highlight reels, it's about the game aspects that you won't find on YouTube or social media. .......i'll wait.

The funny thing is that everyone loves this pick for this franchise. I haven't heard or read even one person say it was a bad pick for the Bills (i agree), however, Bills fans in all of their infinite wisdom and YouTube knowledge are the first ones to berate it and then, say our FO is wrong.......you know, when they were wrong about drafting JA, so i take this all with a grain of salt cause i've witnessed what this kid can do and he is electric. Could it be that Bills fans are wrong?..........never, just ask them.

I can tell by most of the threads and posts berating the pick, that they've never watched him play at Michigan or FSU and only watched a YouTube video, so they must be accurate talent evaluators......UGH. I'm telling you, this kid has talent, he's got grit, he's hungry, he's a big bodied WR who will punish guys at the LOS to create space, he strives for YAC and never gives up on a play.........this kid is going to be electric.

I don't think we're looking to play the outside very much anymore unless the play is there. I don't think we're going to force the outside. I think our philosophy lately is to dominate the middle and rely on YAC, something this team has never really had under this regime. My opinion only, but i see our roster being built for the middle and vastly limiting our outside play........and don't say it can't be done. NE dominated every team for 20 years with the exact same philosophy. They were ahead of the curve and most teams are just starting to figure it out. I'm happy that at least this regime recognizes that what we were doing wasn't working, so rebuild the roster with younger hungry talent and change tactics. I'm all for it.

Well, Beane and our FO seem to think we've done enough and if it's alright with them, then it's alright with me........i'm no GM and whatever they've done up to this point, seems to be working, albeit haphazardly, but i can only hope they know what they are doing to get us over the hump.

When i was watching this kid at FSU, people were crowding the stands just to see what he would do next. People were waiting with bated breath to see more and in total awe at some of the unrealistic plays he made every week........sound familiar, sound like anyone on our roster already, sound like a guy that most fans were disappointed with the pick at the time and that our FO chose the wrong guy? You all know who i'm talking about.......give the kid a chance. I'm telling you, having these 2 guys together is going to be electric.

Here's the thing......as much as team don't want to admit it, NE was ahead of the curve for like 20 years against the rest of the league. How many times did Brady throw long bombs?.....maybe a handful when they had Moss, but the rest of his throws for 20 years was over the middle, dink and dunk, carve and slice up the middle with decent WR's and a dominant TE and rely on them to make whatever YAC the D would allow. This philosophy dominated the entire league for 20 years. KC has been using it for the past 3 years, so it was only a matter of time before we started using it. We have decent WR's, a good, maybe great TE and finally have somewhat of a running game........fans like to moan that we're in worse shape this year than last and i disagree. Our philosophy is changing and so too must our roster and play calling. We'll be fine.

Here's the team's philosophy in a nutshell..... Dominate the middle of the field. Instead of relying on the long bombs, make plays in the middle of the field with RPO's, slants, crossing routes, etc. and let your WR's make a play and earn some YAC......kind of like a hybrid West Coast Offense. The game has changed, and the long plays are just not as prevalent as they used to be. Teams are changing their philosophies in terms of plays, coverage, priorities, etc. I didn't see it at first, but i am starting to figure it out and lean towards what we're trying to do here......and i like it. McD wants a more balanced team?......this is it.

The only Debbie i know is the one who does Dallas......

I do blame Diggs in a small way; however, he isn't the one putting the roster together.

Looks like another slot guy. Jesus man, i think Beane is just getting too desperate at this point........i just puked a bit in my mouth.

It's a sad, sad day when i am the voice of reason around here.
