Says the coach who would rather trade him that out right release him.

I think you nailed it. Taylor, Glenn, and Hughes are gone.

I think it ends up being Bradford, unless Alex Smith is released. I dont see McBeane giving up draft picks and I also dont see them paying 25 Million dollar a years for Cousins. The best option for now and later is to pick up Bradford at 9-10Million a year and draft someone in the first round.

Everyone keeps saying Kyle wasnt the same player he has been in the past, but from what I saw this season was on par from what we usually get from him. The difference this year is he pretty much had a bologna sandwich next to him all season. I mean the guy had Ricky Hately next to him against the Jaguars and Fournette got nothing.

Gotcha. Someone on twitter is complaining the players ignored the fans.

So did the players really ignore the fans like people are posting? Or is that just a random person who is predisposed to being bitter?

They need a legitimate pass rusher and faster linebackers. However qb is first and foremost and they need 2.

Agree. He made big time steps this year. Dont think he will ever be a pocket passer, but one more year cant hurt.

I'll agree that he does struggle with blitz recognition. However, he does go through progressions. Unless its a designed pass to the running back or a bubble screen he does read the field.

What about his play speaks to the assumption he cant see the field? He throws the ball all over the field, including down the seam which was a big issue for Taylor.

The over analysis has started and no better example here. Guy plays four years and doesn't have fumble issues, but his hands are too small. Watched him throw passes all year where only his wide outs can catch it, but now he doesn't fit the ball into tight windows. He goes for 287 and 2 touchdowns against Georgia's defense and will slide down draft boards, where Josh Allen goes for 179 against Central Michigan and is suddenly shooting up draft boards again. He gets a cold and suddenly has immune issues, Josh Rosen doesnt play in his game because of a 4 week old concussion but no worries there. Bottom line on Mayfield is every NFL Executive is scared to draft him because of his height but wants to point issues that dont exist because they are scared to admit its only about his height.

He was just ok this year and at times he was tough to watch. I think he is an every down guy jusy not an impactful every down guy, which is why I wouldnt pay him.

Not sure about riddled but I feel like he is alot more about Josh Rosen than people like to admit. Not a team guy and not a winner

When did Rosen put a team on his back? The guy won less than 60% of his games at the college level, with legitimate scholarship level football players on his team. He wasn't playing with the teams Josh Allen had. I know we have been back and forth on this, but I feel like your argument that he put his team on his back is baseless. He threw a lot of passes, and lost a lot of games doing so. And just for good measure, he was playing Pac 12 defenses which don't get enough credit for being bad.

He is a weird guy. I also couldnt read any futther than " I had to find my baseline balance" because I am also pretty sure he is dumb as rocks and thinks very much the opposite.

Yeah someone is going to have to give me the background on this one. Holy hell.

I will never ever pick the Bills over the Patriots. However, Brady has played McDermott's defense twice in his career once in 2013 against the Panthers and this years game with the Bills. In those two games Brady has 554 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. It would be an amazing Christmas present if that trend kept going.

I agree. It looked intentional and given his track record very likely was. Should have been a flag, and honestly he should have been removed from the game.

7 and some change wouldnt put him in the top twenty of CB contracts. Injuries may limit his ability to get paid top ten money, but I would be incredibly surprised if he doesn't go after top 15 money which puts him in the 9.5 Million dollar range.

A broken back, even if its just a small crack or whatever cant be really fun. They have failed as an entire team though. Defense had one take away for much of the season. Tackles stink, wideouts drop balls like crazy. Honestly, I dont think Del Rio will be long for that job.

Yes please

So would they save $11 Million or $2 Million based on the dead cap hit?

Even if the Bills cut Tyrod, Glenn, Hughes, and Alexander, signing Cousins to $25 Million plus would virtually ensure they would handcuff themselves free agent wise. The cap is high next year and contracts will be inflated. If you want E.J. Gaines back you better have 9-10 Million. They need to draft a quarterback.

I think Rosen's stature is strikingly similar to Goff, and from that standpoint I agree the size is different. On the off the field issues, Rosen hasnt been arrested thats true, but if you're speaking about attention seeking and me first I think its fair his name come up in that category. And just for argument sake, I am sure Rosen would have had even more attention grabbing headlines if he had performed or won in the fashion Mayfield has this year.

This is where I have always had a problem. Mayfield is off the board for being "high maintenance" and "attention seeking" but we leave Rosen on? If Mayfield is off, then Rosen is off for the same reasons.
