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 have zero tattoos. But if I got one, it would not be of a male celebrity.

It is extremely weird to get a tattoo of another man on your body.

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.

Why would he leap Bishop?

People go to jail for that all the time.

I guess they better stay friends.

Founding of what?

If he brings a Lombardi or two, I agree.

That graphic looks like it was made in 1999.

The Saints and Carr haven't really been on my radar since they are in the NFC, even though I live in Louisiana.

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.

And everyone would be making fun of you as well.

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.

I do believe in the Superbowl. In fact, I KNOW it exists. I watch it every year. As for all your other weird comments, thanks for letting us know.

I disagree there. Players say it has an impact and I believe it does. Is the impact huge? Sometimes. In very rare situations. For instance, Jordan Phillips playing really well against the Dolphins for the first couple times we faced them after he came here. Clearly, he had extra motivation and that manifested in his play on the field. Usually, though, the impact is small. But I do think it has an impact. Players are human, and they play a very physical game that causes a lot of mental and physical stress. They use stuff the media or other players/coaches say to get fired up and motivated. They say it has an impact and I believe them. I think this particular case is nothing, though. It is not like the Ramsey situation at all. Nor do I really think Allen was targeting Ramsey in those games. I think there is too much on a QB's plate to be focused on that, but I could be wrong.

Sure, he was a much better player for the Bills. I just thought you were surprised they gave out those numbers, though. With 32, they weren't giving it out till recently. But 40 I don't think they ever stopped giving it out.

Not sure I agree about them not getting a fair shot. They all played a lot, outside of Manuel. Tyrod also had some pretty good olines. Those olines right before Allen took over were pretty good.

Flutie caused trouble because he could see he was better than Johnson. So, I don't hold that against him. He would know that Allen is better and understand that.

Fitzpatrick is a perfect backup. Doug Flutie is nice too. He is accurate and has the running ability as well. Tyrod is another good option. Drew Bledsoe I think is one you want as a starter or not at all. He was old and at the end of his career having been a starter for most of it. I don't think he would take well to the backup role. Ultimately, I'd choose Fitzpatrick. He would be great buds with Josh Allen, too.

Someone has to make it cool again, that's all. I mean, there have been 8 others to wear 40 since JD Hill, including Von Miller most recently. 32 is much more interesting, though. Only a couple of worn that since OJ (Senorise Perry and Nicholas Morrow). They only started giving out that number in recent years.

Maybe Eastern Orthodox might make more sense.

Then don't sign Clowney, because he won't give you that. Baltimore got the most out of him like a rented mule. Kudos to them.

Can't we all agree that he is not a difference maker? After years of him underachieving in the league and switching teams so often, we should know this by now.

With the addition of Moore, I think the Bills are middle of the pack in the NFL. Low ceiling but a high floor. Add a legit #1 and it would be perhaps the best in the league or close to it. That's the goal for next year, in my opinion. But we'll see how the season goes.
