Brady wasn't all that great in college and neither was Montana.
Looking back Leaf was great in college and flamed out in the NFL. Jeff George was a good college QB but never really a super star in the NFL, nice career but that was all.
Mahomes his rookie season didn't start, he couldn't beat out Alex Smith. Are you saying Smith should be considered an all time great? I'm guessing not. Mahomes had a good season throwing to probably the best TE in the NFL, the fastest WR in the NFL and for had arguably the best RB in the NFL for part of the season. Prescott had a great first year playing behind the best OL in football but the minute that line lost talent and the RB was hurt he looked less than stellar.
I'm not a fan of Mahomes, I've lived in KC and I've watched him play. Sure he put up some swell numbers and KC somehow won their division while being the second best team in that division. When the games mattered, Rams, Patriots, Chargers (at home with the division on the line) and Seattle, they lost. Take a look at that NE game and pay close attention to the last TD pass to Hill. Notice the ball was under thrown to a wide open Hill who just outran everyone on the field? Take some time and watch the kid throw and stop just looking at box scores. He's not all that accurate. Had Allen been throwing to competent pass catchers all season his numbers would have been better. Buffalo was one of the worst teams in dropped balls this season. Buffalo also had a horrible OL especially when you compare their line to KC.
Now add in that the Bills have a 20 year old MLB that might end up being one of the best LBs in the NFL and a CB that looks to be just as good if not better than Patrick Peterson (currently the best CB in the NFL). I can't see how this article could have been published. What team in the NFL would give up 3 players for 1 based on 1 season? Sorry but seems stupid.
I will not appoint Mahomes anything until he shows he can actually sustain success in the NFL for more than a year or two, and I would do the same with Allen. I'm not a fan of Mahomes and I was happy when Buffalo traded the pick, I just don't think the kids going to be able to maintain success in the NFL. KC is eventually going to have to pay people and when they can't afford all those play makers then what?
You just keep moving the goal posts further and further back....NOTHING you've had to say about Mahomes has been remotely close to accurate. Mahomes threw for 25 TD and 2700 yards to guys not named Hill, Kelce and Watkins this year. His numbers to just the other scrubs on the team would have ranked him in the top half of QB's for the year. He has done this with the Worst D in the NFL, and lost the support of a pro bowl RB who they had to "kick" off the team....KC's 4 losses were by a combined 21 points. Alex Smith had the same weapons, coaches and BETTER D than this and could barely must HALF Mahomes production. By the way...KC ran and threw at the same ratio they did last year...so this isn't about volume of attmepts etc....Mahomes is simply that much better and way more efficient....I don't often say this about anyone as all kinds of people have all kinds of opinions...but you sir...you do not know what you are talking about.

Wow.....alot to talk about here.
15 hours ago, Mark80 said:Mahomes had a fantastic year, no doubt. The question is whether he will be able to maintain it when teams have a whole year of tape on him and their offense and then further down the road when he's making $30+M / year against the cap and they cannot surround him such a high level of talent that they have now. Time will tell.
The day will come when it's time to pay Mahomes....he is going to get a ton of money...and he'll be one of those guys that takes up a bunch of cap room....and he'll be worth it because he does make everyone around him better. I'd even speculate that QB salaries are about to flatten a little bit because teams are seeing that overpaying for mediocre QB's has been a mistake...so there is a little bit of dial back coming on these future contracts...plus...Mahomes isn't due for an extension before the 2020 labor agreement happens...who knows what that will look like.
15 hours ago, dollars 2 donuts said:Isn't it funny how the writer tries to make the word "undoubtedly" sound like a quote, instead of him just...writing.
I hope the best for Allen. Of course Mahommes is awesome, and he was one of the guys I wanted.
Additionally, though, looking at the last game of either young man's first season...I'll take Allen's 3 TD passes, and two rushing TDs over 284 yards and an interception.
Um....that 284 and 1 pick was in Mahomes very first start, wich was week 17 AT Denver...it was the only game he played in....and for some context..Mahomes played the first half, and a little of the 3rd quarter. got KC out to a 2 TD lead, then sat on the bench while Tyler Bray came in and threw a pick 6 to Denver, then fumbled and Denver tied the game with 3 minutes left. Mahomes came back in and led KC on the winning drive...part of that drive was a 3rd and 14 where Von Miller is all over him and he is running to his right full speed, and uncorks a strike accross his body as he is being tackled, for a 20 yard completion with 3 defenders all around....he put up 284, and the one pick in 3 quarters, in his first ever game, and led a 4th quarter game winning drive....context is important.

While you debate this Allen/Mahomes thing...I can tell you with the utmost certainty....Buffalo won this trade for sure. Ragland is SLOW.
12 hours ago, NoHuddleKelly12 said:So why did 9 other FO’s pass on this once in a generational talent? If college TD’s is the sole measuring stick, then NFL draft order picks should be easy!
Great question.....I can explain it. Cleveland decided Myles Garrett was a can't miss no brainer safe pick at 1. San Francisco, probably thought they'd be in on Kirk Cousins the following offseason...and apparently Lynch wasn't into any of the QB available on top that..so traded to the Bears...who took Trubisky.....who they clearly thought was better, otherwise they would have taken Mahomes. The Jags, took Leonard Fournette at 4...they had Bortles, who they still believed in and had OLD SCHOOL Tom Coughlin calling the shots....at 5, the Titans already had Mariotta...and they took Corey Davis WR...trying to get him more weapons. At 6, the Jets took Jamaal Adams...you could argue that they needed a QB...but they had just spent a high 2 on Christian Hackenburg in the 2016 Draft...and wanted to see that through (clearly a mistake) At 7 The Chargers, who already had Rivers...took WR Mike Williams...at 8 Carolina who already had Newton, took McCaffrey. at 9, the Bengals...who already had Dalton...took WR John Ross (I am sure they'd like a doever as well) ...so in many of these cases...you can say that they all "Passed" on a QB..but most of them were set at QB and were trying to add parts....KC had some good fortune that the top 9 were many teams not looking at QB. And then Buffalo at 10...you've all covered it...lame duck GM....new defensive coach...wasn't going to tie his career to a QB picked by an outgoing GM...and wasn't taking one he hadn't evaluated with his new GM. So, hence the trade.
8 hours ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said:...of course if he "slips" from 50 TD passes to 40 in 2019, we'll be hearing the "slump" clickbait, right?......
.....
LOL....50 TD in season has been done THREE TIMES...Brady, Manning and Mahomes.....he is bound to slump....just like Manning and Brady "Slumped" after 50.
Last item I will leave you with.....KC rushed for 115.8 Yards per game with Hunt. KC has rushed for 116.4 without him.....really good back...but its CLEAR that the QB matters...not the RB....also....if you take away all the TD and Yards Mahomes threw to Hill, Kelce, and Watkins...Mahomes still had 25 TD and 2700 yards. To everyone else on the roster....think about that.....25 TD's would tie for 11th just on their own.
I like watching Allen, I hope he gets better with a year of seasoning and some upgrades and I think he will ...but wow....

.....Save this post.....because it will need to be displayed right next to my Mahomes predictions here.....
The Cardinals made this hire because they are going to draft Haskins.
The way to look at this for Arizona isn't that they have a QB and can trade the 1/1 in the draft....(of course they COULD) but instead....look at like a chance to choose between Rosen or Haskins. Arizona absolutely has that choice right now.
If you hire Kingsbury, who is going to install a spread, air it out type offense...you want HASKINS running that, not Rosen.
The Arizona front office, by firing Wilks after only one season, has already shown they aren't afraid to move on from a mistake after 1 year and get someone they think is better.
Haskins is better than Rosen.
Arizona will keep that pick, draft Haskins, and trade Rosen to the highest bidder. I predict that bidder will be the Saints, who will probably be able to pick up Rosen for a 4th round pick...get a first round talent into their system to be the heir to Brees and fix their succession problem with a player who is still talented, on a rookie deal, that only costs a 3 or a 4 to kick the tires on?
As for as Kingsbury as a HC...he has HC experience tyring to win in Lubbock, TX. He's proven he knows how to look at QB's and got them out to that ****hole to play college football. He knows offense..the leauge is clearly trending offense....this is about offense...Kliff will hire an experienced D coordinator...again, the man understand how to lead, delegate etc.....
I came to this conclusion before anyone else was considering it. I stand by it, including the Haskins part instead of Murray.

they arent moving on from Rosen after one year. Remember how bad Goff was , they are hoping Cliff can do the same with Rosen.

With a handful of notable QBs likely to, or expected to, leave their team, I'm curious in opinions or thoughts on where they may end up. Considering the lack of expected potential via draft at the position, I could see teams more willing to look to free agency for a signal caller. Here are my guesses:
Flacco: Jacksonville
Tannehill: Jets (as McCown retires...becomes the veteran backup)
Tyrod: Houston (backs up Watson)
Manning: (stays in NY)
Bridgewater: Miami

Rosen: New Orleans....traded after Arizona drafts Haskins.

KC not going down. I hope New England beats the Chargers.....New England, for all their history of greatness...never play well at Arrowhead...some of Bradys worst games have been in KC....and that's is the most favorable matchup for the Chiefs...chargers present more problems for us than NE does. Besides...it would make a great story for KC to rip the mantle from Brady and the Pats...kind of a passing of the torch moment.

So has your opinion changed on Josh Allen from the draft to now?
A little bit.
I thought Allen would struggle with completion PCT....and he still has. I, like many here, underestimated his athletic ability. I have been impressed with his ability to run...didn't see anwhere near the production on the ground that he produced.
I thought he would be a bust...(and I still generally think that his passing efficiency needs to be much better. ..I didn't say comp %....passing efficiency.) BUT....Allen impressed me enough to believe he COULD take a step or two if given some better talent around him. He's certainly exciting, and I am looking forward to seeing if this offseason and and what should be an improved roster, produces results that show more improvement.
So, yes...Allen has impressed me. I'm rooting for him. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

......I've seen enough of Allen to believe that he offers HOPE still. You are going to upgrade the roster. He is going to get an offseason to work on issues. He DOES have intangibles, can run, leadership etc.... The Broncos Giants drafted Saquon Barkely and the Broncos took Bradley Chubb in the top 5 of the past draft. BOTH of those guys are very very good football players. And both the Broncos and the Giants SUCK. They didn't have a QB, they didn't draft a QB, and now they are facing a 2019 Draft that MIGHT have ONE QB (Haskins) worth going after....if they can even get him. 2020 is a LONG LONG way away. I would much rather be the Bills heading into 2019 with Allen, the hope that he provides...the idea you are going to load up and try and be great as opposed to the certain dread of facing another season of Case Keenum or Eli Manning...KNOWING there is NO HOPE. Brady is about done. You know Tannehill isn't a difference maker....it's the bills and Jets for AFC supremecy for the next 5 years at least.
There is A LOT to look forward to in 2019. If you hadn't taken Allen in 2018, you'd be sitting here knowing 19 was going to be a waste of time...no QB to get, etc etc....What the Bills have that so many teams do not heading into 2019 is a chance to be something good and special...the Broncos, Giants, Bucs, Dolphins, Lions, Bengals, Jags....they don't have that. Dread. Misery. Despiar.....no hope. Allen = hope.

Josh just needs a better Oline, better weaponry, more experience...etc....This could apply to BOTH josh's. I would say that the Josh who is athletic and can run is better than the Josh that can't.....but if both josh's get a line and some weapons and one Josh is completing 65% or better of his passes an the other Josh is only completing 55% or so....then that Josh will liekly pass the other Josh in the race to see who got the best Josh. Still hard to say. I predicted both would be busts...won't really be able to call it until sometime next year at the earliest.

Rosen’s personnel is better and he has less wins.
I am not a Rosen guy and have predicted that he will underwhelm. However, the Cardinals literally have been without ALL five starters on their oline most of the year. They have a couple guys starting who had been bagging groceries before getting the call. I’m not sure they have better personnel.
19 hours ago, thurst44 said:He's also 4-5 as a rookie with a team that has been favored in 2 out of 14 games, is 4-4 in games he completed, and with a team that is 1-5 when any other QB has played a significant time.
There's nothing definitive yet, but it's a pretty promising start to a career.
I find it hard not to be excited about the upcoming prospects of a team who overachieved its (admittedly negligible) expectations with an exciting, dynamic young QB, a top defense with most if not all likely returning next year, an abundance of salary cap room and draft picks.
I continue to believe Allen’s completion pct is a concern, but I am very open to the idea that more time, and an upgraded roster will help. The debate won’t be decided until next year when the Bills have invested in the roster like the Bears did for Trubisky this past offseason
19 hours ago, eball said:Actually 4-4 in games he started and finished. He left in the 3rd Q of the Houston game with the Bills trailing 10-3. The Bills scored a FG on the drive on which he was injured to make it 10-6, then we know what happened afterwards. QB wins and losses are solely based upon who started the game so it is what it is, but Allen had the Bills "in position" when he was hurt.
All of that nonsense aside, when you look at the talent around him on offense for Allen to be essentially a .500 QB in his rookie season is impressive (to me). The "problem" with Josh Allen is that so many people are completely invested in him being a bust because they didn't like his "advanced stats" predictors that they will continue to look for the negatives until he wins an MVP or throws for 40 TDs with an 80% completion percentage. It's sad.
The “problem” is that the stat predictors all said his completion pct would be low. His completion pct is low. It’s THE entire issue around Allen then and it still is. It’s not as if people are nitpicking this issue. This is what the concern was coming in.
19 hours ago, Buffalo03 said:Throwing it 40 yards downfield plus another 30 yards across the field from across his body? Kind of hard to put that on him. Could it have been better? Sure I guess but how many NFL QBs actually get that ball anywhere close?
Mahomes. ?
If if anyone cares to refute these points, your argument carries more weight when it includes graphic depictions of big. Glasses.......and voluminous........hair.

I mentioned this in a different thread, but I'll say it again.
When Josh Allen sets his feet and steps into his throws, his passes are usually right on the money. His misses (and no doubt there are more than what is ideal) are usually due to him rushing, failing to re-set his feet, relying on just his arm to wing it, etc., etc. The key with making Allen more accurate is not overhauling his throwing motion or footwork. It's just getting him to be more consistent in doing it right.
This is MUCH DIFFERENT than someone like EJ Manuel, who never displayed good QB mechanics and always seemed to just be throwing the ball in the receiver's "general direction." My guess is that Manuel never really learned how to be a Quarterback, and just needed too much work by the time he reached the NFL.
...umm....interesting take on Manual needing "too much work".....when you are in a thread talking about Josh Allen....a guy who by all accounts was ready to go day 1.

The only reason you post here is to brag about Mahomes
I've certainly done that here from time to time. I post on other issues that aren't even QB related as well. ....I've not hidden the fact I showed up here after the "trade" because I've wanted to keep my finger on the pulse of the Bills fan base AND see how things developed, including the trades and drafting of your QB, Allen, and how that's been going. I've also put it out there I think Allen isn't going to develop...not that he couldn't, not that he isn't an incredible athelete...I continue to think it's every bit worth while to get him some better weapons this offseason...see if you can upgrade your line...he has talent...I am skeptical about his ability to ever consistantly be an accurate thrower....and that I think it's a very important attribute....but you get this guy the right mix around him and the right kind of offense...he's totally viable....my last several posts here have been about many fans unwillingness to even acknowledge that the kid has an accuracy issue...and it isn't "just" getting better. .....and you don't need to hear that or anything else from a Chiefs fan...I get it... But I'm here and I enjoy the conjecture....and unelss someone kicks me out, I'll keep posting my thought on this and other stuff here.
5 minutes ago, Doc Brown said:I'm not writing off those issues. I think he'll be similar to Cam Newton in terms of accuracy (between 57 and 61%) throughout his career once we get some better weapons in here with WR's who can get separation and make tough catches. The scrambling ability and making throws few can make will make us learn to live with his errant throws.
This is a good take.

Zay Jones had his best game as a Bill with Matt Barkley throwing At him 11 targets, 8 catches. 93 yards and a TD. On the road at the Jets. Foster had 103 in that game. Barkley has SEVEN career starts and had just signed the week before. It’s one game but Barkley completed 15 of 25, right on his career completion pct of 60%. His passes were not short. He averaged over 10 YPA. That isn’t dink and dunk.
I continue to be amazed that so many people keep writing off Allen’s accuracy issues to everything but Allen himself.
By by the way, according to PFF, Allen has more time to throw in the pocket than any QB in the NFL.
Barkley played behind the same line.
Allen is a serious threat to run and make things happen. He is fast. He is a gamer. He is tough. He has a strong arm. He can demonstrate all of this on a field and you can measure all of those with stats or the eye test.
He has a well documented, well scouted, well known accuracy issue that you can measure with stats or see with your eyes.
some people don’t like math that doesn’t fit what their blurry vision tells them can’t be true.

Well, yeah, but even Buffalo doesn't manage personnel decisions with a motivation "keep NE from getting him" for a low risk, low money investment guy.
That's crazy talk! Especially when Denver is 6-6 this year and you think their QB is not good (I think it's more than the QB, but that's me).
Denver has lost a few games they should have won....lost at home to Houston 19-17 HORRIBLE clock managment and play calling in the two minute drill meant they had to try a 63 yard field goal to win....and they had already missed one earlier in that game.....they lost to the Rams by 3. 23-20. They beat the Chargers. They beat the Steelers They run very well, and their defense is fast and physical. They present matchup problems for teams like the Rams and Chiefs....and Chargers and Steelers...holding all of them to under their scoring averages...you catch them on a day when Keenum actually has a good game and you are done. Now...having lost Sanders, that may be more than they can overcome...they need everyone healthy and playing at a high level...but when they do...they are a tough out. The 6-6 is a bit of a mirage.....and also...somehow, the Broncos are one of those odd teams that plays to the competition...the Jets blew them out somehow earlier this year in New York. ....regardless... If signing KB for chump change, and plopping his fat ass on our bench means he isn't in Denver possibly playing hard and helping them in a time where they need a WR...then GOOD. worth the pocket change it cost.

Um no, a simple glance at any statistics don't tell the story. Sutton has a catch percentage under 50%...47.5%. Thomas is a good WR, but as you note, they traded him away. Sanders is also good, but when a team has 1 good WR the best corner is usually assigned to cover him like a blanket. Sanders and Thomas are also both 31, an age at which most WR sometimes fade. And now Sanders tore his ACL. Keenum can't throw to himself.
I'm not saying Minn. wasn't right to move on, but when you have a QB who has proven he can play capably to well given the right conditions and he moves to a new home and struggles, it's absolutely fair to ask whether some of the conditions he previously had are missing.
I repeat though: why on earth would you hypothesize KC would factor in "keeping him from Denver" in a player personnel move?
Denver is to KC what New England is to Buffalo. Believe me...the ONLY team in the AFC that the Chiefs don't want to see again this year is the Broncos.

Just now, JerseyBills said:
Respect. i didnt see that post , just reacted to the one and took it out if context.
Whats your thoughts on Watkins?
And what is wrong with your defense!? I'd actually enjoy seeing KC represent the AFC in the SB but that D has to step up. Interested in your take on the problem and potential solution, cause i don't see them getting there unless the D steps up.
Man your offense is spectacular though
Let me try and seaparte Watkins from his contract and talk about the two separately.
The contract is HORRIBLE. KC paid out WR 1 money for the guy KNOWING he would be the 4th option, 3rd option at best on this team. That's just not smart use of resources.
The player has been...OK. He's hurt too much for the money...but when he's played he's been allright...had a few big games. IF ....IF he were the no.1 option he'd put up some strong numbers...probably not worth the contract even in that scenario...but he's been ok. If Hill were to miss time Watkins would probably look more valuable to us than he has thus far.
I haven't seen enough to justify the contract..and frankly, we could have saved that money and spent it elsewhere and signed someone else much cheaper this past off season...in hindsight...I would have liked for us to have kept Albert Wilson (he blew out his ACL so maybe it's better we didn't) ....Anyhow...not worth the money on Watkins....he has been, more or less what people said he is....an intriquing prospect that is hurt often and needs volume to have maximum impact. He hasn't broken any big plays.
Our Defense .....is interesting in that we are at or very near the top of the NFL in sacks. Two very good edge rushers in Ford and Houston and a very good D Tackle in Chris Jones. You'd think that having this kind of talent up front would mask some problems elsewhere..but it hasn't.
Having watched every KC game...we may well have the worst ILB pairing in the NFL. Reggie Ragland looked decent his first year here..he SUCKS. ....and maybe he needs to be in a different scheme where he just goes downhill all the time, but in our scheme the ILB are asked to read and react. Ragland needs to have no responsibilities in coverage at all and just go....even when he gets moving off the snap...he is easily blocked and can't shed. A bust. We signed Anthony Hitchens from the Cowboys for big Money in the offseason....unlike Ragland..Hitchens looked pretty good in Dallas last year....but playing in this read and react system...he also SUCKS. He is asked to read and then cover RB and TE...and he isn't good at it...he was a good sideline to sideline defender in Dallas and the reports were he wasn't good at coverage there either....just a really good pursuit player. .....because he has to read the play and often cover someone, on run plays..he is slow to identify and thus slow to move...and gets swallowed up by O lineman. His Contract is AWFUL and the way it's structured, we are stuck with him for 2 more seasons. They did draft Dorian O'Daniel from Clemson, and when he has played ILB..he HAS looked pretty good...good in coverage...quicker to react and has shown some ability to shed blockers...but they are reluctant to play him...he should be starting. Ragland should be benched.
The secondary ins't very good. Orlando Scandrick is old, but has been ok....dropped what would have been the game clinching INT vs the Rams...just flat out dropped it...right in his hands. Steven Nelson is ok. Our safties are OLD and SLOW. Been waiting on Eric Berry to come back all year...he MIGHT finaly play this week...they need him.
Because of the sacks and turnovers...and the D is OK to live with even if the numbers in yards and points don't always look good..they do produce big plays.

Hey man , the majority of us on here calk it how we see it and aren't going to trash a guy because he's on a different team.
KB was disgusting to watch , i couldn't stand seeing little to no effort on a consistent basis. Hes dead last in the league and currently has the lowest catch % for WR with 50+ targets in the last decade , at 37%.
Carolina fans said the same to us and we didn't listen. All i can say is , you'll see. Don't get tour hopes up man. if you got time , watch literally any game he played this year and get back to us after that... We wanted him gone weeks ago , he's a disgrace
I said it already..but yeah....I don't have high hopes about this....the Chiefs made a low risk, low money investment in a guy who at one time, a long time ago, showed a little....fine...we paid out some pennies to kick the tires...I read this board all the time and have read ALL the stuff you find folks have posted about Benjamin..and I have watch a few of the games....(ever since the Trade and the drafting of Allen, I can't get enough of watching the Bills....love the passion of the fan base here...and am glad to be on this board..great place to talk football) ......I think KC sees this as SUPER cheap depth....and anything else would be gravy....contract just for the rest of this year....I'm not hoping for or expecting much.

But for your fans that think you just landed a gem, I will tell you no more than to watch some of his tape in Buffalo, one of the laziest and effortless players I have saw in a while, not to mention he only catches like 30% of his targets, he consistently drops passes
i agree with you....this isn't exciting news to me....due in large part to me following this board...I might be the best informed KC fan about this guy. SO MANY KC fans see a name they know and instantly "LETS SIGN HIM, HES A BEAST! (on a side note, the tendancy of the lower IQ among my Chiefs fan base, LOVE the term Beast. ugh.) ....KC fan base has a hard time separating Madden from real life (this goes for salary cap issues as well...SIGN EVERYONE! TRADE FOR EVERYONE!)

Yav....not sure you have any sort of credibility with your incredibly horrible Pat Mahomes predictions and takes.

Below average QB that contended for NFC Championship last year. Who’s he throwing to? Ain’t Diggs and Thielen.
But I repeat: you beat Denver twice this year. Not likely to play them again. Benjamin just signed for rest of season, so it’s said. So what’s up with the Denver fixation?
I think you’ll find Benjamin hasn’t ever played TE because he can’t, but Good Luck!
A simple glance at Case Keenums numbers this year tell enough of the story....or go watch some of their games...Minnesota was right to let him walk. He's not been good at all this year. .....He has targets and a good run game....Emmanual Sanders is pro bowl caliber WR...The traded Demarryous Thomas, but the Rookie Sutton has impressed...and they have a very strong running game....that offense isn't void of talent. Sanders just tore his ACL in practice yestarday, so he's done....and they did claim Holmes, the other WR you released.
Again..as far as Benjamin playing TE....and you telling me he can't (and I believe you) ....well, again, great...our second string TE also can't play TE...so if Benjamin has step into that role, he'll fit right in.

Why would a team leading the division at 10-2 burn a roster spot on signing a guy to “keep him from” the divisions 3rd place team, currently 6-6?
What is up with this Denver fixation?
IF KC thinks they signed a TE, Good Luck Mates! KB can’t really block and he’s been playing very small for his size. You’ll see.
Even though we have beaten Denver twice this year already...they have really played us tight...they are a touch matchup for us...they also did have held the Rams to low totals on offense and nearly beat them...they beat the Chargers....Denver has a below average QB holding back the rest of that team.
As far as Benjamin being a TE, our current back up TE, Demetrious Harris...already can't block and never plays as big has his size either...he's been here 4 years already and hasn't progressed....If Benjamin sucks...that's fine..he sucks and will have cost us next to nothing....if Harris were to get hurt...well...we appear to have his crappy identical twin on the roster now.
Should Bills go after FA TE Demetrius Harris

This isn't a guy you want. Bad hands. Doesn't help in the run game either. Has a knack for a spectacular catch 2 or 3 times a season..and its a big surprise every time it happens because he drops A LOT of routine stuff. Already been suspended for substance abuse once......this isn't a case of a talented guy being buried on the depth chart behind the leauges best TE....even though that is true....he'd be buried on a lot of other teams depth charts as well. He won't be missed in KC.
