I dont fully disagree, but nowadays it seems like its en vogue to hire the coach before the GM.

If people had a realistic view of the NFL draft they'd realize more picks are missed than hit. The real litmus test for an organization is win/loss and the Bills are doing more than fine in that category.

There is one HR a GM can hit..one. And thats drafting a franchise QB. He hit the HR already.

Giants guys also think Daniel Jones is leading them to a Super Bowl so theres that.

Player who averages 2 sacks a year gets traded and OBD goes nuts. Please God can the real season start already.

Because they are the Cowboys.

My Lord! Can the real football please start soon. Speaks to how sickly obsessed we are with the NFL when a guy looking at schedule and making guesses on win totals based on a roster is news. That said, split with Dolphins and Jets, beat the Pats twice, 11-6/12-5.

Dolphins and Pats have QBs on rookie contracts. A lot easier to pay other guys when you dont have a QB taking up so much salary cap space. Jets brought in Rodgers and Cook, fine, but every other potential star they have was drafted. They were able to draft those guys because they stink every year. Welcome to having a Franchise QB. Hard to spend in free agency because QBs cost a lot. Hard to draft blue chip players because you are in the playoffs every year. What he is worth, given how many games he's missed and how much tread is already off his tires between college and the NFL, is top 10 runningback money. Think 7 million. What he wants is to reset the market think between 17-18 million. If a contract renewal wasnt involved, I'd give up a 1st round pick for him all day. What I would not be up for is overpaying for the guy by 10-11 million dollars.

When he was first coming back I followed the White Rabbit stuff. I am not a WWE viewer but when he came back to Smackdown I'd change the channel over from whatever I was watching just to see if I could catch a Bray Wyatt segment. Sadly, we will never get to see where he was taking this. Such a great mind, gone way too soon.

Holy crap...just absolutely unbelievable. So sad for his family and kids. My Dad passed away at 38 from a heart attack, something I'll never get over. So amazingly gutted for his family.

No, leadership probably gets the talent on this team further than it should. McDermott is a Mark Batterson disciple, his whole shtick centers around being a great leader of men. Say what you want about McDermott, but he is a great leader. I think he gives more thought about that aspect in one day than most of us do in a lifetime. Josh Allen, Stef Diggs, Mitch Morse, Micah Hyde, Tre White, Jordan Poyer, Dawson Knox, Dion Dawkins- I think there is plenty of leadership in the Bills locker room. Its pretty simple. The Bills dont lack leadership. The Bills lack Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. I honestly believe the Bills would have a Lombardi by now if it wasnt for those two.

Absolute horse crap. I've never been so broke. Between my student loans, gas prices, food prices and the unfortunate status of being upper middle class, this country has nothing for me.

What an incredible disaster.

Rest well Shawn. Sorry for your loss brother.

Loved the Funeral. Sad to see another legend go. Had his 1982 Legends of Wrestling Rookie card and just sold it last month. Regretted it the second it was gone. RIP.

Wont know until they play actual games. Everything else is just nonsense and conjecture.

Maybe its simplistic but its far from a "hot take." Only 5 of the 16 returners who qualified to have their stats tracked (number of qualifying returns) averaged more than 25 yards per return last year. Given that average, you have a 31% chance of making it to the 25 when returning a kick out of the front of the end zone, that percentage decreases every 3 feet you go into the end zone. As such, there is really no reason to ever bring the ball out. 6 of those 16 players failed to have a return average over 20 yards. As such, on average, applicable returners are only 62% likely to progress the ball over the 25 yard line if they catch the ball at the 5. How many kickoffs do you see caught at the 5 yard line or beyond? The new rule coupled with the kickoff being moved up doesn't totally remove the kickoff return from the game, but I think its fair to say a heavy focus on a return man isnt necessary.

Also making a brief appearance in this video is future Bills owner Matthew Pegula. Is it just me or does Thad Brown come across exactly like someone named Thad would?

He's been honest when the Bills have been bad. Despite what many on this board may think, they havent been bad in 3 seasons or so.

Thats one beautiful resonator he is playing. Good tune. Exactly the thing people need to here.

The emphasis on having an amazing return guy when the NFL is setting rules to eliminate returns from the game baffles me. I am confident Isabella can catch a football and kneel it down.

So we are replacing the guy with 8 career kick returns with the guy who has 14? If its such an issue just go sign Andre Roberts as a one year fail safe.

If I am Arizona I am thinking very hard about whether Kyler Murray is going to be the guy going forward. If he isnt, then yes, as you say keep the picks. If they are going to roll with him, I would ask myself if anyone in the top ten of this years draft is going to be more impactful than having Jonathan Taylor in the prime of his career. If you can walk away with both Jonathan Taylor and Marvin Harrison Jr. for Kyler Murray its worth thinking about.

Not sure why the Colts wont pay him, he is only 23, they have a QB on a rookie deal, and they have the money. That said, Arizona should be all over this. They have the money, the draft picks and the needs. If the Colts are smart they will go ahead and trade him, outside of the AFC.

Yes, I care about the kids. I feel awful that this guys was so lost on life that he did something so selfish.
