I don't agree with this at all. Dawkins is inarguably our most important OL. I think center is the least important position on the OL. As long as they are capable and can snap the ball reliably, and you have a vet QB that can set his own protections, I just don't see it as a difficult position to fill. I'd much rather have two stalwart guards than a stalwart center.
I'm not sure this applies in 2024 that LT is most important OL position, it used to be for sure when QB's where far less mobile and stayed in pocket.
The game has evolved quite a bit, evading a quick beat off the edge is far easier than one up the middle
With how much shotgun Allen prefers to be in, his blind side isn't as open as a straight drop back.
Elite offenses/QB's seem to have a high level center was more often than not as well over the past 20 years

"We need to get younger"
Beane trades a 27yr old career back-up for a 5th round pick
"No, Not that way"

T.O.?
Does he still have the key?

Oliver, Rousseau - snap counts need to go up
I know this is a Mcdermott thing, but you have to let our best players play
Absolutely, no reason these guys can't be getting 75-80% of the snap count

I think it's a safe bet when looking at other teams "breakout" players little limited historical data to support this at any level is to remember our own guys like this.
Just always remember Robert Foster
All teams have these guys in flashes

Wouldn't yards allowed after contact add a lot of context to this number?

Quick, name the receivers on the Giants besides Waller. The Giants probably have the worst receivers in the league
Iasaih Hodgins, I've been told on this board many times that he's amazing and we shouldn't have let him go

Lamar the passer is clearly in my eyes, why he's not getting a big deal done.
For comparison sake, take a look at these two 3 yr stretches
QB1 - 39 GP, 691-1084 (att/cmp), 7881 yds, 59TD(5%) , 29 INT (3%), 7.3 Y/A, 7.2 AY/A, 202.1 Yards per game
QB2 - 43 GP, 774-1236 (att/cmp), 8857 yds, 51TD(4%) , 16 INT (1%), 7.2 Y/A, 7.4 AY/A, 206.0 Yards per game
QB1 is last Lamar - post MVP seasons
QB2 is Tyrod - Bills years
That's eye opening to me!

Morse isn't being cut, zero chance
We've seen the offense without him under center, it's ugly
He's probably in that top-10 center area, not far out of it if he isn't top-10 in your eyes
I can see him being extended to reduce the cap hit
Hynes, the cap hit it fairly high for the role he's played, he won't get that on open market, not with this class of FA RB's...extending and reducing cap hits is probably going to be on the table, kick/punt returner are priorities for this staff, paid Andre Roberts $3m per just to do it...Hynes is more dynamic at it and more likely to add to the offense
Oliver trade is possible, but not likely, he's more apt to be extended and cap hit reduced - he may not be playing to his draft status, but he's still a starting caliber DT in this league, he's not going to be given away for pennies on the dollar when you would just need to replace him with equal or higher priced player
McKenzie should get cut based on usage and performance this past year
Siran Neal - he's not getting cut, team values special teams players, with Kumerow and Matkevich already most likely gone and possibly Jones, not removing another key piece from this units

I can't see NFL declaring the game a tie or no contest and potentially giving the Bills game zero meaning on Sunday
I can see following scenario's
Bengals-Ravens - Your game is for the division (destiny in both hands this Sunday)
Bills-Patriots - Bills win and you get #1 Seed
Chiefs-Raiders - Chiefs win and Bills lose, you get #1 seed
Bengals get #1 seed if both Chiefs and Bills lose
Bengals get #2 seed if Chiefs lose and they win
(Chiefs may argue, we are getting short end of the stick, easily can be answered with you went 0-2 against them)
It's creates a bunch of must win type scenarios for these teams and extra scenarios to be discussed as TV fodder
WIN-WIN for NFL Brand

I can't imagine Beane would risk 2 year money on this guy.
I can't see anything but a 3-year deal
Deal for next season would be very incentive based, with contract rules for incentives and how and when the cap hits take place with "likely" and "unlikely" incentives, the cap hits wouldn't strike until 3-4 years down the line
This is the type of deal/player you hope for in a Super Bowl window-

I have a feeling, his contract is going to be very complex with all kids of incentive bonus being abused from the likely and unlikely categories shifting cap hits and holds all over the place and possibly 3-years down the road before you are actually using it as written
I don't see a 1-year deal being signed anywhere, 3-years, lots of incentives (not just because of his knee, but the CBA language and rules for the "likely" and "unlikely" incentives. A sizable chunk of the cap hit could be thrown 3 years down the road during a Super Bowl window

17 years ago, I attended a friends wedding 5 hour drive from home
After leaving the day after, I got back into the town I lived in, about two lights from my exit, my girlfriends was with me in my car (now my wife), we had been travelling with a few of my other friends in another car, we had lost them on the highway at some point through some traffic. As I was sitting at the red light, I looked up in the mirror and saw a car weaving in traffic, I thought it was them trying to catch up before we got home. This was my last memory of that evening, everything else from that night is from what others have told me happened.
My car was struck in the left rear by that weaving car, it was a drunk driving in the middle of a street race, the impact sent me forward, crushed my right shoulder on the steering wheel, my head ricochet off the windshield and through the driver side window, my car spun through the intersection. My friends who had been following behind, came onto the scene, saw the car that struck mine on fire in the center median, they pulled the driver from his burning car, after getting him out. They noticed a man stumbling in the street, face covered in blood. They immediately realized it was me. Tried to get me taken care of, I was unaware of whom they where and was very agitated and tried to fight them off me.
Fire/Ambulance/Police arrived on the scene, paramedics concerned about my well being. could not get me into the ambulance as I tried to fight anyone who came near me. They asked my girlfriend if she could try, this worked and I hoped onto the gurney and was sent to the hospital (Thankfully my wife did not suffer any injuries)
At the hospital, I remained an unruly fellow, trying to fight Doctors and Nurses all the same, I was restrained and cuffed to the gurney at the hospital. Doctor recounted telling my wife, that he had never wanted to punch anyone before but was an inch from doing it to me (holding his fingers apart in the air)
I awoke from this monster I had become around 3 in the morning, lucid, calm and back to my normal self. I was immediately released from the hospital. This became an issue later on as I probably should not have released at this time, but they also didn't want me around anymore.
This person I was during this is someone I don't recognize or proud of. Thankful I don't have actual memories of being like this in any way.
I remember little of the next few days, I remember going to my car to get personal belongings and not much else.
I spent the next 3-4 months in a constant battle of being tired, dizzy, nauseous. Was unable to work, play the sports I had always loved (hockey/baseball)
Living on the 6th floor of my building, I would try and go down and get the mail during the day, was unable to walk the 6 flights of stairs down or up without a break halfway, I slowly got better, stayed with symptoms for years. Even to this day, 17 years later, things that never used to bother me cause me to get dizzy and nauseous (strobe lights, anything that spins quickly)
I've had other setbacks through the years, bump my head a little too firmly and I can easily be dizzy and it'll take me a day or two to feel better

He was not given as many easy throws as most QBs in college football. Mayfield for example probably had 7 completions on bubble screens per game.
These takes are legitimate!
He only threw the ball 25ish times a game, a lot of vertical stuff, intermediate stuff.
They didn't run a lot of the stuff that leads to high completion rates, he wasn't throwing screens etc
Not what he was asked to do in that offense.
Let's see how he does in the Bills system.He's the opposite of Tyrod, he'll chuck it into those tighter windows and give his guys a change to make plays

I assume by this logic we should draft any QB from Purdue or Tennessee, because of Drew Breese and Peyton Manning
ALSO TOM BRADY WAS a 6TH RD PICK, NO NEED TO DRAFT A QB HIGH!!!!!!!
Tom Brady is the outlier, not the norm
Saying that is akin to saying...I don't need to save for retirement, I'll just get lottery money

And cutting starters and role players during a playoff run is a well run organization ?
Absolutely- if you have a player on the roster that could slide right that spot already
SEE: New England trading LB Jamie Collins and then still winning a SB. He's a hell of a lot better player than the scrubs we kept.

But I'd be happy just knowing I won't need to ever see Mike Tolbert split out wide on a 3rd and 4 again...EVER

I think for them to get up into the top-10. they would need to make two trades
First into the teens and then up to the top-10
If that was going to be the case, I don't think it's happening at the draft table
We'll know of the first move before then and they'd still need to be okay drafting someone in the teens at the cost they gave up, if the other deal fell through which is most likely draft day dependent on the board
