He’s not Henry but he’s a big part of our offense. He’s also 25 and plays every game. If Brady uses him in the last two drives against KC, we might have gone to the SB. You think nothing of paying Benford $20 million and he’s a concussion away from being in danger of losing his career. Since Thurman, how many game changing backs have we wasted high draft choices on who were either injury riddled and mediocre or head cases like Lynch. We can have Cook for 3 or four more years at reasonable rates compared to the increased price structure greatl RBs will be demanding after Barkley and Henry’s deal. It’s because of the threat of Cook that Josh has been so prolific.

Inflated ego? He’s 25 and Henry will be 33 during the season. Cook had 1000 yards n 200 carries and 16 TDs. He’s getting better and more valuable to a team that played in AFC Championship,every year. The position has a 4 to 6 year window if you stay injury free. He’s got to get his money within the next year. You want him to say he doesn’t deserve to get paid? He plays 16 or 17 games every year and is a matchup nightmare out of the backfield in the passing game. If he goes for 1200 yds and they get to another championship game, would he be worth Henry money then?

Historical output with bad QBs and offensive attacks doesn’t compare to Josh and our O-line. I agree we’re not expecting our two wideouts to be the Bengals receivers but expect Moore, Palmer and our 2nd year receiver (Coleman) and our 1st round drafted TE (Kincaid) to be markedly improved.

Pretty good analysis, but the cap situation clearly prevented additional acquisitions. My hope is that we can find a way to retain Cook before he becomes even more expensive. He’s really good.

You can’t compare stats from one season to the next because the roster will be different. Maybe Palmer and Moore improve the receiver production and Kincaid and Coleman do what they’re supposed to do. we’re talking about a different animal. I’m confident Cook will be highly motivated in his walk year. Offense will not be a problem with Josh making everyone better. If you believe in the defensive additions, we’ll be right there.

Great take, Josh doesn’t need #1s because we’re going to run the ball down team’s throats and make underrated receivers have the best yeats of their careers. With our defense improved, I’ve never been more optimistic.

Kincaid was unstoppable in college but he has been a disappointment. He gets knocked around and doesn’t make the tough catches you want a blocking challenged TE to make, When you compare him to the top TEs in football, he seems timid.

We have a run heavy offense with Cook, Johnson and Davis and good O-line. Our slot is arguably the best in football (Shakir) and with an underachieving Coleman and Kincaid we were bad officiating on a 4th down QB sneak away from getting to the SB. Amari was either hurt or shot,Mack was a nice 5th receiver but Moore and Palmer will be much more productive. What you are ignoring is Josh makes everyone better because of his arm talent and escape ability. We also have 2 good receivers coming out of the backfield in Cook and Johnson. You can be a doomsayer or you can accept reality.

I agree, maybe with Josh we can deploy him differently. I thought he was a primary target for Winston and Deshaun. My prediction is he plays his best football for us.&

Make the team? Do you just rattle off frivolous , silly comments like that?. On a one year hometown deal with an opportunity to ride the greatness of Josh to a multi year deal somewhere, he’s the vertical threat on the team with experience and great motivation. He’s making the team. To me, he’s a better option than Coleman with more speed and separation. Josh spreads it around( everyone eats mentality) so Shakir will get his but I easily see Moore getting 41/2 to 5 receptions average.

This signing will be as important as any addition the Bills make this year. Moore is a victim of truly crappy QBs and offensive systems. Look at what has become of the QBs and OCs on Cleveland and NY. Josh will enable Moore to blossom in Buffalo. He is a speedy receiver with good hands and gets separation. He had over 60 receptions with 3 different QBs last season. I’m predicting upwards of 80 this coming year.

Finally, a nice pick for the good guys. We needed that in the worst way.

Is Beane trying to reinvent the wheel with theses picks. Why the hell would he trade up for Sanders. Guaranteed he would have been there at 56, or 62. Beane sucked the enjoyment out of our draft. There were 2 guys on South Carolina better than Sanders.

I may be a bit harsh with the kid, but that’s what this stuff is all about. It’s sad that every reaction is disagreement. No one knows how this player will translate to the NFL. It’s already proven that good players can be drafted in later rounds(Benford, Johnson, Brady), my point was he wasn’t the best defensive back on the board or the best prospect. If he was available at 52 maybe.

And you know that how? Brady was better than Mahomes and got rid of the ball faster with better receivers and O-line.
