Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract

You think those stats look good? -
Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
Xerx replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
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

Playoff Solutions Assuming they don’t replay the Bengals game.
Xerx replied to Locomark's topic in The Stadium Wall
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 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

Going to be a lot of people on these boards losing their minds when Edmonds is re-signed with the money created by trading/releasing Milano

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

Is there a precedent for developing a low-percentage QB?
Xerx replied to finn's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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 -
Ten Reasons to Not Get QB Drunk in the Draft

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 -
THAT'S A HARD NO

Buffalo to jump on cap casualty players?
Xerx replied to The Now Moment's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. This x100 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 -
Bills offense ranks 29th, Defense 7th
Xerx replied to Teddy KGB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Easy, it's sorted by MOST yards allowed. -

They rank 7th alright... 7th MOST yards allowed. -
I'm with the OP I don't give a damn about next season yet. A CHANCE...WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GET IN I WANT TO GET EXCITED ABOUT WILD-CARD WEEKEND. I'm tired of the not good enough, blah blah blah. Get in, end the drought, have some excitement around a playoff game. Anyone hoping we don't make it or depressed into thinking it's a loss before it happens shouldn't be watching sports. ANYTHING can happen. Period.

Those guys aren't who I'd want on the field, but with a clipboard and a presence in the QB meeting rooms. I'd take them every single day of the week over Tyrod in mentoring a rookie QB, just based on Tyrod doesn't do the things we want to be taught. When to throw it away, reading a defense pre-snap etc. Tyrod isn't good at these things at all.
-
IF and I think it's more of a WHEN we draft a QB this year. I believe it's best for the Franchise to just move completely away from TT. I don't think he's the guy I want the rookie learning from, bring in a savvy veteran type, the backup guy whose hung around for 15years because he understand concepts, reads etc, just can't execute or is weak armed or something. Seriously, I'd rather the rookie learning from a far less physically gifted QB if that guy is far superior in the X and O's. Bring in Josh McCown, Alex Smith, Matt Cassel, Matt Schaub, are all better options than Tyrod for a guy to learn from. Tyrod is so unique of a talent, he can't teach guys things.

This stat has nothing to do with short of the chains etc. It's literally "Aggressiveness tracks the amount of passing attempts a quarterback makes that are into tight coverage, where there is a defender within 1 yard or less of the receiver at the time of completion or incompletion. AGG is shown as a % of attempts into tight windows over all passing attempt" I'm picking this one stat, because you singled it out as he's 32nd!!! Like that's a bad thing with this stat and it's really not. Top of the list guys tend to be crap quarterbacks with tons of interceptions and known for poopy play. I agree with you, it's time to move one. We don't need to falsify and claim bad stats to prove it either. It's not his AGG% that's the problem, we can see that watching the games or any game not involving Tyrod. It's is inability to hit guys in the "pockets" between defenders when they are open. This has nothing to do with the AGG% stat.
-
I've supported and cheered for Tyrod and still will until he's no longer a Bill, but I'm ready for a new quarterback. But let's not spew riduculousness -To further highlight this point, there is a metric called "Aggressiveness/AGG%" where Tyrod is ranked 32nd. Aggressiveness rating is defined as "the amount of passing attempts a QB makes that are into tight coverage, where there is a defender within 1 yard or less of the receiver at the time of completion or incompletion. AGG is shown as a % of attempts into tight windows over all passing attempts." He's in the same area range in that stat as the top QB's...If you are near the top of the AGG% board, you are a most likely a TERRIBLE QB. This tight window BS is ridiculous, you want QB hitting OPEN receivers. You shoudn't need to force throws into tight windows anymore than 15-18% of the time. Anything above that is terrible decisions, poor receiver seperation and bad schemes. 2016 https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing/2016/all He's in the same area of the chart as the Brees, Roesthlesberger, Rodgers, Brady's of the world... 2017 https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing/2017/all Again same are of the chart as the top QB's Tyrod doesn't throw to guys who are open in the seams or on the outside is the issue. This stat does not show that It's not tight windows per se, it's the into space windows. He can't hit a TE with passes over a LB head and before the Safety in the seams, anticipation throw into the window. The window is large, it's just there for a limited amount of time. It's all being ON TIME with the BALL Last thing I want is a QB forcing throw after throws into coverage. Unless it's to Benjamin (who we've not had very long) no receiver on this team has shown ANY ability to catch a contested ball ever.

The “Billsiest” way for the season to end
Xerx replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm going completely opposite; Here is THE DREAM scenario Ravens win out - Finish 10-6 Chiefs win out - Finish 10-6 Titans win out - Finish 11-5 Steelers win out - Finish 14-2 Jaguars go 2-1 - Finish 11-5 Patriots Lose out - Finish 10-6 Bills win out - Finish 10-6 Bills win AFC East with Tie Breakers over the Pats Titans win AFC South with Tie Breakers over The Jags Ravens claim 6th seed with tie breakers over the Pats Patriots MISS playoffs ENTIRELY Steelers and Titans get Byes Wild-Card Games Ravens @ Bills (Bills win) Jaguars @ Chiefs(Jags win) Divisional Round Bills @ Titans (Bills win - reverse the Music City Miracle) Jags @ Steelers ( Jags win) AFC Championship Jags @ Bills (Marrone and Dareus Return) Like I said - DREAM SCENARIO -
Apparently the offense is holding Tyrod back
Xerx replied to Gavin in Va Beach's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That right there is nail on the head. Dennison has shown ZERO ability to create mismatches, get players in positions that best suit the talents they do have. As an OC, you can't run the same "plays" with Tolbert in the game as you do with Shady, but Dennison does. You CAN run the same alignment, movement, etc, but the actual playcall needs to be suited to the player in the game. -
Is anyone here really a Tyrod fan?
Xerx replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
LMAO, definitely not whomever the heck jm2009 is.. I couldn't tell you any of that, didn't watch EJ play this season. EJ used to do it fairly frequently, if you remember it or not is of no concern of mine
