  1. I think Metchie would be more of a Cole Beasley, security blanket to keep the sticks moving type wr. And he can play inside and out.
  2. I take back my offer to buy McDuffie a pair of gloves with 1/4 inch finger tips, and plan to write a note to the NFL rules committee demanding that type of glove is outlawed!
  3. Yeah, but how did his little cousin sitting to his right at the draft party get the Bills winter hat???
  4. Gordon was my "what I expect the Bills do to" pick. And Elam was my "what I'll live with" pick... But in interviews that I caught yesterday, Kyler Gordon gave off stoner vibes. His demeanor made my question his fit. With Booth, there was also the uncertainty of not knowing how fast he really is. But the injury concern may be the entire reason why Beane had Elam over him.
  5. Somehow Richard Sherman is a fan of the Buffalo Bills.
  6. Big Baller Beane!
  7. Josh tweeted that we should draft Matt, the star Nintendo Wii sports character. And then the Bills tweeted out:
  8. So the announcers know who the pick is, and have to pretend like they don't for a solid minute or two.
  9. And 25 million in cap space.
  10. Penning would make a lot of sense.
  11. Titans going to replace AJ Brown with Treylon Burks?
  12. Hingle McCringleberry?
  13. Love keeping Jordan Davis out of Baltimore.
  14. Hoping it's for a qb. Have a feeling it's wr.
  15. Last thing, you're on the record claiming that Trent McDuffie can't play outside cb in the league bc his arms are .25 inches under 30"? What if we chip in and get him gloves that have quarter inch finger tips?
  16. Apology accepted. You haven't provided a metric to measure success that can be applied to the data set other than a few screen shots of blurry pics I can't read on my phone. And just bc you can't pick names off the list and intuitively know if they had a good career or not doesn't mean your analysis is accurate. It may be, but it's incomplete. I also offered additional statistical analysis tools to determine co-occuring conditions to rule out application of your short armed rule. But you ignored that too. In any event, I'm taking about one specifc player. And you're claiming that the metric that is going to allow, for instance, Dane Jackson to play outside corner successfully and prevent Trent McDuffie is 5/8ths of an inch. Ignoring that McDuffie's 4.44 speed makes up over 9 inches per second over Dane Jackson' 4.57 40... Let's check back on this around this time next year and see if Trent McDuffie was unable to play in the league, or had to be switched to slot.
  17. Mental midget? Cool story.
  18. It's another way of saying you're missing the forrest for the trees. Here's what you need to do. You need to determine a valid metric of NFL success and apply it to each 10th percentile of arm length in order to see if there's a statistically significant correlation between arm length and success. But then there's always outliers, i.e. the individual tree in the forrest. How many 11th percentile arm length CB's are over 5' 11"? What percentile height is Trent McDuffie among the 11th percentile arm length? What percentile speed? What percentile RAS? You're fixated on one specific metric to the exclusion of all other variables. Kind of like those who only focused on Josh Allen's completion percentage at WY to the exclusion of his actual play on the field.
  19. Were you a Rosen is the right Josh guy too?
  20. Your claim is that being in the 11th percentile for arm length is predicative of future success of a specifc player? Stop bringing reality to the table! I have a hypothesis to test: there's a strong correlation between posters who care that Trent McDuffie's arms are .25" under 30" and posters who thought Rosen was the right Josh.
  21. I'm just saying I can't find a database that aggregates arm length and player performance. Going by how many names guys on a message board can name isn't how math works... And even if only 2 players with arms less than 30" at outside cb have been good, it has nothing to do with McDuffie's career prospects. Correlation does not imply causation.
