There seems to be some kind of misconception about Hamlin that he is a poor athlete and really slow. That's just not true. He is an average to above average athlete at safety. He has an RAS of a 7, which means he is above average. His composite speed grade is good. He is 100% an NFL caliber athlete. People need to stop saying he isn't, because it is false. Does that mean he should be the starter? Not at all. He is a good depth safety with starting experience, though. Not a bad guy to have on the roster.
Bishop is an elite athlete though.
I stated he is better than Hamlin. That was with the assumption that he would be the 3rd safety behind Rapp and Bishop as starters.
And if he does outplay Hamlin and slot ahead of him in the depth chart, that means he is good enough to at least fill in as a starter, just like Hamlin did. But I think we are all hoping that Bishop is the starter. It would be disappointing if he isn't. He should start even if he needs to pass through some growing pains.
Darrick Forrest, a UDFA (Wande Owens), and a draft pick in Hancock. Seems like they have brought in safeties to me.
Yeah, he is better than Hamlin. More upside, too. So, even if Bishop isn't ready to start, Forrest is still a good option.
It's never higher than about a 25% chance even for the greatest teams, so I'd give the Bills about a 20% chance.
This is why it is foolish to ever expect a superbowl. The odds are far too low to ever expect it. It's something you hope for, not expect.
