  1. I think Vernon is just on the backside of his career and he is declining the closer he gets to 30. I'd prefer to sign him at this point because I think Clowney is grossly overrated at the level of pay he looking for. You have to make sure the money you put into a player matches the output you get from him. In that sense Addison really is the best value out of the four players being discussed here.
  2. The hate had more to do with him dodging tackles near the end of his time here.
  3. One very good NFL player. Watkins is an average NFL player. If either played up to their potential or acted like they cared about being Bills the hate wouldnt be so heavy.
  4. Had the sad feeling tonight this is never going to be over and we are all going to eventually die. Thats after a few beers.
  5. I wouldnt have paid Amari that money either, but I'd also be interested to see what Rex made from the Jets and Bills to not coach their teams.
  6. You nailed it. In the immortal words of Dennis Green, He is who we thought he was.
  7. Why does Murph keep calling him Brendan?
  8. I agree. To make any moves they need to move Thuney for draft picks prior to the draft. I think a lot of people are going to see the .460 win percentage before Brady genius come to light soon.
  9. Start with reading The Art of Smart Football by Chris B. Brown. Good insight on coverages, and the history of how those things came about on both the offense and defensive side of the ball. Warren Moon also has some decent Youtube videos that detail how a Quarterback goes through his progressions. Understanding the way a QB reads defenses is a big help when watching the game. You can even decide pre-snap if you agree with where the QB goes with the ball.
  10. Beane and McDermott want guys who are excited to be here. Asking for a night to think about it is essentially saying let me see what other options I have.
  11. He should have been fired for the racist stuff he said on air awhile back
  12. What "triggered" me was you acting like you were somehow not just a message board poster yourself. I am sorry but if these GMs dont have a solid idea of who they are locked in on 4 weeks before a draft they spend years preparing for, it is my opinion, even if you think it stinks, that they are being a bit disingenuous. You ignored the point I made about why they are waiting for the final weeks before the draft to get medicals and measurements. Do you legitimately believe, four weeks from the draft that they still dont have the height and weight of hundreds of players? As far as drafting a football player being a decision that livelihoods depend on, I'd say thats a bit of hyperbole on your part. People in different fields make real life altering decisions with a lot more at stake than a football game everyday, and they do it in a split second.
  13. People just disagree with you, take it easy. Did you think for a second you may be wrong? Did you think for a second these guys who want the extension may be using the media to their advantage? Guess what, a lot of these experts were still going to screw it up regardless of having the extra few weeks. As for not having medicals, the Bills drafted two players just a few years ago who missed significant playing time on shoulder and knee injuries their medical teams cleared. On the 30-40% not having verified measurements, where were those measurements going to come from in the last month before the draft? They had 2-3 years worth of scouting, the shrine game, the senior bowl, and the combine and still didnt have measurements and medicals on players? Are you telling me the teams spend the last month leading up to the draft sending their medical teams and scouts out to measure up to 500 players? Give me a break man. Stop believing everything you read on twitter. Cool story calling people Arm Chair GMs, very mature way to solve a disagreement. Do you think you're somehow above being an arm chair GM by posting your opinion? As for me I wasn't planning on watching the draft. But keep arguing with people on a sports message board, there may be something deeper going on.
  14. I would if my boss told me it was due and I didnt have an extension. I am sorry but if you dont have enough information after 2-3 years of scouting, and your choice really rested on watching an athlete go through a pro day then maybe you need to be doing something else. They voted unanimously because they had a built in excuse for more time to do their work. Agree to disagree. If this was strictly about health concerns due to the virus I'd get it, but given the adjustments the NFL has already made, this isnt what it's about.
  15. Gave it a couple episodes but there is just too much sickness and sadness in it for me. Kept thinking of 1 Peter 5:8 as Satan is all over these people. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
  16. If you could get an extension at work to finish a project that may decide the fate of your job 2-3 years for now, would you take it? I know why they are asking. I just dont think it needs to be done.
  17. They got him for what amounts to the number 19 overall pick in the draft. People saying we gave up too much are prone to hyperbole and hot takes and need to take a pill.
  18. RIP Buddy. Go Bills!
  19. Most of these guys have had three to four years to get an idea of who these players are. In addition, they've had the Senior Bowl and the Combine. No reason to postpone the draft.
  20. RIP 58. Love to hear the old stories about the AFL teams.
  21. The Patriots dont have enough cap space to take on his modest salary.
  22. That was sarcasm. I'll forward it to Beane when his way of doing things stops working.
  23. By pointing fingers at the other person for not doing more.
  24. You can't just say we will need to get the people who have survived corona back to work first. Saying that assumes those people all work in the same profession. Who are we talking about? What professions?
