Buffalo Junction

My point is that his value is higher than Elliott because he can play every receiving position. McCaffery, Kamara, and maybe L Bell are the only other RBs that can reliably play WR. Jones is likely the best of the bunch when lined up outside in the x or z.

Williams is a UFA after this season as well. GB will pick one to resign. I’d bet on Jones unless they can’t afford him.

Leads the league in TDs the past few years, can run post routes like a WR and plays in the slot, etc. I didn’t base his contract value on Elliot as Zeke can’t play WR. The closest comps are Kamara and McCaffery, who earn $15MM and $16MM respectively. He’s not a one trick pony. Jones is a multidimensional weapon, and the only way he doesn’t get paid for that is Covid cap suppression. RBs that average 5 y/c, lead the league in TDs, and can line up outside and beat probowl corners with double moves are unicorns. JMO.

Jones is going to get PAID. No way Beane gives a RB a $15MM/yr contract which is what Jones will be looking for. The guy knows that his receiving ability, speed and TD totals make his a unique talent.

Edmunds is fine. He’s not a thumper, but he’s usually a sure tackler, and that wingspan not only changes zone depth but changes rushing lanes. If the kid could catch we’re talking about sports center highlights instead of his defaults. If we’re honest..... Bills fans have complained about every MLB since Chris Spielman. Only reason they didn’t complain about him is that bitching about a three time all-pro makes you look like a moron.

No arguing that McGlinchey and whomever they have at RG have been awful. I don’t see their pass blocking improving much individually. I do think SF will have more success running the ball with Kittle back though. Dude doesn’t get enough credit for how good he is at hooking edge rushers. I don’t think he’s good. Just that he’s substantially better than Mullens at setting protections. 🤷‍♂️

It’s been bad. There’s no debating that. I’m not exactly sure how much the injuries to other positions have played a part in their Oline doing so poorly. However, I’d imagine that Mullens is substantially worse than JG at setting protections, and the skill position injuries/Covid (mainly Kittle) have allowed defenses to load the box. Not the Bills problem, but if they squeak into the playoffs and get both Kittle and JG back they could make a little noise.

I’m not sure all the stats and metrics apply to the 49ers due to all of the injuries and Covid stuff. Their roster has fluctuated substantially over the season. They’ve gotten healthier over the past few weeks, and may very well outperform those figures down the stretch.

They will if it’s a one score win when most of the points come from field goals. Definitely not gonna get defensive player of the week when your team loses by two scores unless the defensive player out scores his offense.

Would not “should”. McD and Beane like nepotism.... All of those guys in my post know each other, and most worked together for years. With that in mind, I’m sure they’ll go through all of any prospective OC’s calls and look at all the finite details. I’m sure McD will have a better idea after going through that tape about why Wentz has regressed than any of us. I mean, he knows that offensive system almost as well as he knows his own defense. Who knows though. McD has been around a long time, and could easily just promote Dorsey and bring in a guy like a Norv Turner to some specialist role as a go to for Dorsey to bounce ideas off of. I’m not gonna stress about it until it happens. Particularly with Pederson as Wentz’s regression will have more light shes on it after the season. For all we know he ignored practicing fundamentals all offseason and just spent time with his newborn. 🤷‍♂️

Other possibilities are guys that McD knows well like Mike Shula, Pederson (if fired), Matt Nagy (if fired), Mike Kafka, Chudzinski, etc. It’ll be someone with an Andy Reid or Carolina connection. Dorsey is the obvious choice, but if Pederson is available and willing to take that position I’m not sure McD passes up on that opportunity. Wishful thinking for sure. That said, it might mean that he’d pass on HC jobs with dysfunctional franchises like the Jets. No way he passes up a gig like the Eagles or Falcons though who have stable owners.

Fulgham looked substantially better that Jeffrey has since his return. Not getting him on the field more is perplexing to me.

He’s 6’4” 215 and surprisingly agile for that size. Doesn’t have a big vertical or great speed to go with that size, which is part of why he could never beat out other more physically talented WRs. Rodgers liked him because he’s a solid route runner that seems to work towards the QB or soft spots between zones when the QB is out of the pocket. Whether all that is innate or due to his relationship with Rodgers IDK.

I enjoyed how the Oline basically iced Bosa and ignored his explanations.

McD mic’d up was cool..... Then they spent the whole time talking about Brady. As usual, not worth watching. Status quo since they left HBO and and stopped talking about football. 🤷‍♂️

There’s a Tasha joke in there somewhere.

That goes for front office execs as well as coaches?

Nope. Kellen Winslow aside, TE was a very different position before the late 90’s though. If those stats get a TE to the probowl that says something about how the position has evolved.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Tremaine Edmunds father go to the probowl twice in the late 80’s early 90’s as a dolphin?

And.... my cousin just sent me this

I took Tua getting benched as confirmation that teams cannot break the Fitz cycle without incurring the wrath of Papa Legba.

Which they might not have done if The Majik Man hadn’t been injured. Let’s not forget that they drafted the kid from Depew who would lead the league in passing yards in 1989. Damn shame, but rotator cup injuries back then were career tragedies for QBs.

He isn’t, and that’s what has every Bills fan excited. One thing I’ve been wondering is.... What if he takes another step this year like he has during off time the previous two seasons?

Unfortunately that doesn’t take into account how effective he is in other aspects which now define QB play along with passing. Most notably it leaves 6 touchdowns out of his statistical ranking. He bumps up to 6th if you use QBR instead. Also, if you use total touchdowns he’s #5 instead of #8. He has room to grow for sure, but I’m inclined to put him closer to 5 than 10 right now. The reason for that is he’s Top 10 in every passing statistic, #6 in QB rushing yardage and #3 in QB rushing TDs. We’re also 3rd in the league in (offense) 3rd down conversion percentage. The last stat is a large part how this team is winning games with close statistical margins.
