Well… to be fair, I dont really post as often as I’d like and I didn’t know it was an often posted thing. So that is my bad, I guess. But it does seem to be bringing in a decent amount of convo, so there’s seems to be some meat left on the bone.

They’re trying their hardest to derail this puppy, it’s not happening Jay! If this puppy goes down, I’m going with it! FRIDAY!!! I hope that’s true, like I said earlier. I was reading up on him and watching highlights after the draft and kind’ve got excited. Then I heard the quote and got bummed, so hopefully it is a case of them not trying to pile too much on a rook.

No, I’m responding in kind. If you’re being rude, I’m responding rudely. If you bring in a good attitude and want to discuss, I discuss. Multiple posters have brought good insight to the table. You don’t like the thread, that’s totally fine. My life will still continue on as always. My question is, if this happens will you admit you’re not good at being a fan?

We’ve had three pages of conversation. You really think I care at all if you want to hear me out? I’ll answer that for you… nope.

Still on the hear me out thing, huh? You’re right, it must take a huge brain to come up with the same exact thing as 10 other people in this thread alone. You’re a real trailblazer. I’ll start threads like yours, oh wait, do you start threads or just comment snappy retorts and react to everything like an emoji crazed 5th grader?

That’s fair, but also, and I don’t mean this as a shot at you, kinda boring. What kind of threads would we have here if all we posted on were exactly what the coach and GM have said? Just seems like it would be a board of Chris Brown fluff. Personally, I can’t wait for your thread titled 2+2 = 4 ; here are the things we know for sure. Josh Allen is QB, we have a Justin Shorter, etc. Where’s the intrigue? If we just posted the team quotes provided by every news outlet, without a little creativity, would we even need the message board?

You’ve already made that abundantly clear in your well thought out “nope” post. Now move along, adults are talking. Isn’t there a cool new Comedy Central cartoon for you to watch?

Beane tells us loads of things. I’m still allowed to look at the team, and form opinions. Im not really choosing to ignore him per se. Just looking at things for myself and seeing if I completely agree. Not that it’ll matter if I don’t, but I think it’s fair to pose the question. Especially as Shaw so eloquently put it, when the team leaves an obvious hole, I’m going to imagine what could fit there. Whether or not you want to join me is completely up to you. I know that this is like a cool thing to do, since so many people have already done it. But all it really tells me is I’m glad you’re not joining the conversation. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but it just feels to me that you wouldn’t add much if any substance if you did. Please, by all means, stop reading there and move along.

Thanks for adding to the discussion. Your opinion comes with the thought that Milano would be a downgrade to the mlb position. My opinion, mind you this is just an opinion, Is that Milano could play really well in that spot. He’s already the mouthpiece for the D, he’s excellent in coverage, and has nasty instincts. Obviously, if it didn’t work out, fine. He can go back to being an all-pro olb. But if it did, that could only help this team. It’s a Friday discussion, you can choose to contribute, or just point out the usage of “hear me out” as countless others have already done. You can see that they really contributed to the convo as well.

I mean, there is a thing called the salary cap. I feel like even if they did trade or sign a guy the board would disapprove of the selection because he’s not the biggest name in the NFL.

Good points, idk, I guess I’m alone in thinking Milano could do really well in that spot.

I think I’m more in the acceptance or hope. Accepted we have what we have, and hope there’s a plan I don’t quite see yet.

When I started looking into him after we drafted him, it felt like a good fit to me. Then the comment was made and I was kinda bummed. I hope you’re right. But who’s to say he wouldn’t flourish in the mlb spot? If I’m Milano, I’d like to give it a shot. He’s got the goods, and who wouldn’t want to be an all-pro in both spots?

Thank you? Hear me out, why is everyone so angry about this topic?

Does it make more sense to try and win a Super Bowl with AJ Klein at the position?

Maybe they’re unleashing a brand new hybrid mlb/olb roving backer scheme?! You don’t know who the mlb is until it’s too late!

Alright, so hear me out. When we drafted Dorian Williams, i was like “cool, we got our guy!” But was surprised to hear that they think of him more like an olb. Does anyone else think they may try to shift Milano to the middle and have Dorian take his spot? I know Milano doesn’t have the prototypical size, but McDermott loves him and is always in his ear on the sidelines. The communication aspect would be taken care of (as I kind of see him taking the qb of the defense role already this season), and he’s definitely got the goods in the coverage aspects of the job. He’s got great instincts. Idk, maybe there’s a piece I haven’t considered but I just don’t know what they plan to do at the position. Maybe someone already on the roster for obvious running downs, and a change-up for passing downs?

I dont get how this is still a thing people are saying. What exactly do you think you’re getting for him? What do you do about the gaping hole it leaves in a season where a Super Bowl is still a very real possibility and you already don’t have a mlb? The guy is not terrible, and he’s going to be performing for a big time contract. It’s very possible this is the hardest he ever plays. He’s on the last year of his deal, who’s trading away anything close the value he will bring to the team this season? Mind=boggled You know when all is said and done in the offseason the team has to play actual football games, right?

Bills: Hardy NFL: Clowney, not sure if he’s really a bust but thought he’d be a total game wrecker on the other side, I thought Allen was going to be a total bust.

Man, you’re such a jersey nazi. Let the guy have his zero!

I understand what you’re saying, but I wouldn’t say he is worth 18mil, I’d agree that someone paid him that much. I think it’s a bit of a reach to say because someone was paid x amount of dollars, they’re worth x amount of dollars. Unless you just mean in his bank account, because yes, then he is worth that. But I don’t think you see your 18mils worth on the field, if you’re the Bears. The Bills certainly knew him better than the Bears do and it didn’t seem (at least to me) that they tried very hard to get close to that number.

But what does signing Shaq have to do with Melvin?

I’d take him too, what does that have to do with my post?

I mean, we weren’t going to sign a big money guy, and the team is better than it was before the signing. So I’d say it’s mildly inspirational.

This doesn’t seem realistic. All reports are that they won’t be paying a significant portion. I get why you’d want to do this for fun, but I could see this being vetoed.
