And you just keep misinterpreting what you read, ready to burst a blood vessel.

@BurpleBull Listen to what this dude says... "I don't know if this is fair" "He can run man" "Passing Nightmare" "Un guardable by My Mich. Wolv." "Special"
These are the things we have been trying to tell you.
I don't care about Rich Eisen.
Guess who else can run, man?
Me!
What does that even mean?
I won't be swayed because some media figure said something good about a player on the team I root for. Folks dogged Taron Johnson without cause until they heard TV figures praising him for his play against the Steelers, I'm not with it.
I hold to what I hold to until I see James Cook break a few ankles, more than a few tackles, and take his share of carries to the house or almost.
I'll believe that he's dynamic then, till then, I think we just got added speed and elite receiving ability at the RB position.

Cook is now a Buffalo Bill. I defiantly understand where people coming from in wanting Hill over Cook.
Cook is now a Buffalo Bill, and you show 0 respects for that fact... I have spent the time trying to get to know all of our top 4 draft picks and although I may not agree with say the LB pick for example... They are now a Buffalo Bill and because they are a Buffalo Bill, I love them.
You on the other hand you have shown nothing but pure 100% Hatred for the dude. You have gone on this crusade to will your way through this topic with bad narratives, comparing to the best ever and even worse not responding to 1 valid point made on these forums about Cook. I have seen valid points on both sides. You a minority think cook is trash. You're in the minority for a reason.
Then you write this piece of trash here... Chiefs have slight odds to only the bills in winning the whole darn thing... and you type this? We should of been in the big game last year and we would of won it.. We are a way better team this year even without cook. We will be more diverse on both sides of the field.
your horrible narratives are making 0 sense... None!
100% hatred is expressing that I believe he will pay off as a receiver, but not so much as a rusher?
I hate where he was selected due a lack of certain attributes associated with effective running backs relied on to keep offenses moving through ground attack.
I wasn't saying that Cook would get in the way of the Bills winning a Super Bowl, I was expressing that his selection in the 2nd rd. makes it unlikely that the Bills would select an RB in the 1st rd. next year. 😉

That’s because he plays RB…..and luckily, we preferred to spend out 1st round pick on a premium position and drafted the best cornerback we could’ve committed to. Cornerback >>> RB. If you don’t know, know you knoooooow.
Or maybe they just didn't use the 1st pick on Cook because he didn't have a 1st rd. grade on him.

I hear ya, there is a lot of butt hurt fans when it comes to this sort of thing, kinda funny to read their laments…, oh well, life is indeed good,👍
Not likely getting either at pick 32…,
SB winner or not, the Cook pick will likely be what stands in the way of it happening. That's why I hate where he was taken so much.

Yet speed is the only thing on your mind that I can read from your posts
Okay, speed "is the only thing" on my mind concerning my dislike of where Cook was picked, that still doesn't explain where you came away with me wanting Breece Hall to be drafted.
I wanted the org. to hold off on drafting an RB high until next year's draft where at least two legit, 1st rd. talents might declare.

I see.....so what this really is about you have your head up Breece Hall's ass
Sorry....he is a jet now....you will def get to see your boy twice a year. Hopefully him and his 800 carries will hold up so he can make you happy
Check the draft day thread. I said many on this board thought Hall was a 1st rd. talent, myself not included.
What the hell did you even read? Lol

Do you watch college football regularly?
Would that help in tricking my eyes into seeing Cook as the game-breaker that much of the board sees him as?
Cook will be useful, but I still anticipate people jumping ship once they realize that Singletary is still our biggest threat to break a game open from the ground.

Chris Johnson was drafted 24th overall. What's your point here
You like many in here thought Breece Hall was going 1st rd, probably thought one pick higher than where C. Johnson was selected too. So what's your point?
I could see top-notch speed in any C. Johnson highlight reel, college or professional; I have to force myself to see James Cook's game-changing speed.
James Cook can be good for the Bills, he's just not the best we could have committed to at the position.

I never understood this comment when addressing RB's. When you have Allen defenses shouldn't care whos back there and are gonna fear Allen and will welcome a Derrick Henry rushing it if the bills had him back there, while the opposing team tries to beat them through the air
I dreaded when the Bills had to face the Titans with Chris Johnson on the roster.
I also did not like playing Patrick Machines knowing Tyreek Hill was in the lineup.
Certain players are legitimate concerns.

Breece Hall's 10 yd split was 1.54 seconds
James Cook's 10 yd split was 1.55 seconds
So 0.01 second difference in acceleration.
Chris Johnson's was 1.4...percentile is night and day difference.
Neither of those guys are the standard for top-level, acceleration.

tell me then What is the difference between
Breece Hall 4:39
and
James Cook 4:42
You actually think .03 is the difference between Elite speed and not Elite speed? That what you're saying?
Or should we of gotten Tariq Woolen ran a 4:26 .16 faster then Cook? Should we of gotten Tariq Woolen in round 5?
Nothing, if the 40 time doesn't translate to ripping off big yardage in-game.
I just don't see a back that will strike fear in defenses when I watch Cook's highlights.

I read this three times to give the benefit of the doubt just to make sure it would make sense....it still doesnt
If you cannot see that Cook doesnt have these traits I dont know what to tell you.....he kills it in in every measurable trait.....
No, I agree he doesn't have elite breakaway speed. That and break tacklability...not very elusive either.

I think Bernard may have been drafted to be the Micah Hyde of the LB crew.

We didn't lose to KC because of a lack of pop in the backfield...
How do we determine that McDermott's had a breakout season?

McDermott is the only correct answer....
We have the best QB and roster in the league. Don't need anyone to break out. Coaches need to just not blow it.
Coaching has been terrible the past three playoffs (Hou, Kc, Kc). Hopefully he's learned from his mistakes.
Sounds like the old-school thing to say, but it's wrong.
How would McDermott even be measured as having a big year or breakout season after the Bills went 13-3 a few seasons ago?
This team has been on the cusp but never completely, complete. We've needed pop in the backfield, I'm not sure James Cook is that dude, but if he is and has a crazy season where he's contributing majorly on the ground, then I think he'll be the difference maker.
We of course couldn't take a backward step on defense for everything to work.

Looks like one of those reads that scouts will want to forget they wrote in a couple of years. Often times players going into the league is all about the fit and how they are used in the league. Word is he has blitz pickup chops.....he has pedigree.....and his strengths are obvious on tape. Why in the world would we take a bellcow back that takes the ball OUT of Josh Allen's hands? We are a passing team. And I also dont buy that he cant carry the ball. He fit into a nitch with his college team and they had someone else run the ball between the tackles. As an outside zone runner? I think he fits it perfectly.
You are making things up. He is not a 4.8 guy.....Where in the F do you get that from.
James Cook runs a 4.42. I eluded to him being fast, just not an elite burner that defenses will lose sleep over.
The 4.8 mention was me using an RB to beg the question regarding "blazing acceleration", a term that another poster used to describe a Cook attribute that I don't see him as having.; would a 4.8 speed RB be tagged as having "blazing acceleration" regardless of how much more quickly he hit top speed than a 4.40 speed RB?
Probably not.
Speed and acceleration are two separate attributes, but I'm guessing elite-level acceleration paired with 4.42 speed would allow Cook to beat defenders to angles and pull away from them regularly with ease, I don't see that happening in the clips I watch of him (this and his inability to break tackles is why I don't care for where he was selected) and believe he was assigned an attribute solely based off his 40 time, and perhaps because we've been in need of a faster RB and the poster wants to believe we have that home-run hitter in Cook.
I don't believe we do.

Well. You are wrong. He will end up getting 50 percent of snaps by end of year. His acceleration is like Kamara...smooth but you don't catch him
You are making things up. He gets caught from behind plenty in the highlights I've watched on him.
It's rare that he even gets the opportunity to turn a carry into a foot race because he's taken to the turf so often on first contact.
He'll be a nice receiving target out of the backfield, but there's no reason to begin imagining qualities that didn't show up regularly.

It’s blazing acceleration, suddenness and route running.
I'll give you route-running, but what the heck is blazing acceleration?
Do we notice "blazing acceleration" in a RB that has 4.8 speed?
And then how do you define "suddenness"? (And please be honest)
When I hear 'suddenness', I'm thinking quick change of direction; I don't see that in Cook any more than I do blazing acceleration.
This is the only Beane pick since he's started making our picks that I absolutely do not like off top.

Rd 2, Pick 63 (31): RB James Cook, Georgia
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
You'd have to go through my many other posts in this thread to find out what my criticisms are.
Cook has a better 40 time than both Singletary and Moss; he has faster straight-line speed, he does. I don't necessarily see that speed translating to long runs in the NFL with regularity as a rusher the way his 4.42 speed would suggest.
My criticisms are related to him as a rusher.
