    Also...the "5280" on the helmet is NOT great :sick:

    They're really big on the 5280 thing across all the sports teams here in Denver. 

    I mean, I get it, the city is at relatively high altitude and it's cool that it happens to be 1 mile above sea level.  But it's not like it's something great anyone accomplished. It's just plate tectonics.

    Wilson treated the Bills as his personal ATM.  

    It's almost like he owned the team

    1. Left $1.2 billion in his foundation to assist Detroit and BUF

    Thanks Ralph!  RIP. 

    You're the first to bring this up. I think it's his biggest legacy. Thank you

     Sure, it's complex with a lot of moving parts, but no one is expected to get everything right. There are 31 other guys with the same complex job and you're trying to be better than them. 

    Spending too much draft and cap capital on the dline with limited success; and taking too long to get a decent offensive line, while needing another top wr, have been his biggest shortcomings imo. Whether that's on him, McD or both?

    No one is "expected to get everything right" then you list deficiencies without also listing positives or pointing out the 4 division titles in a row, 5 playoff wins, etc. 

    Unclear what your point is here.

    I agree.  I think we often tend to under-appreciate the difficulty of other people's jobs.  

     

    What's interesting to me is not simply the complexity.  As some have said, he has a staff that's evaluating the draft talent, evaluating the free-agent talent, running the cap numbers, evaluating the consequences of one move or another.   What's interesting is that he has to make big decisions with such incomplete information.  He knows, for example, that if he signs a big-ticket receiver it will affect what's he's able to do at several other positions.   If he decides he can't afford it, well, a big-ticket D-tackle is waiting to be signed, too.  Can he afford the impact in the receiving room if he splurges?  Exactly how much linebacker help does he need?  How much cornerback help?    No matter how much information his staff may generate, he still has to make consequential decisions without all the information he'd like to have.   

    It's the literal reason "he gets paid the big bucks" (as opposed to the sarcastic or ironic way that term is often used)

    I don't see a scenario where trading diggs makes sense and doesn't just open up a massive hole.  No compensation offered will do anything to move the needle.  The offers will be things like 4th and 5th round picks.  I don't want that.  

     

    Improving WR2 should help a lot.  Need more speed, and ideally someone with more route running chops.  Brady never really got it working with Diggs oddly enough, but I'm willing to bet he has a plan since they hired him.  

     

    WR1 - Diggs

    WR2 - ??? - Ideally a rookie with some wheels and hands

    WR3 - Shakir

    WR4 - ??? - Vet who can play inside and out

    WR5 - Harty i guess - totally open to moving him but maybe they just lower the cap hit and keep him as a returner

    WR6 - Shorter or a rookie who outplays him

    Agree with this, except we don't know if the vet or the rookie is WR2 or WR4 yet. Could go either way.

    He doesn't have stone hands which is the really frustrating part.  I think it is a concentration issue.  The corner route he ran from the backfield for a TD against Dallas is a catch stone hands receivers don't make.  Way too many drops for his skillset.

    "Butter fingers" then?

    Point is that the empirical evidence thus far is he is bad at catching a football.
