If Oliver was at that level they would t have needed to sign Miller and it’s pretty likely there would already be a ring on his finger from 2021.

That sounds more accurate, or maybe we take the draft an MLB back to back years in the third round only to find out both are mediocre after two years of trying and then move to drafting one in the second round that’s admittedly not a starter, but could work in certain packages. We have a good start with the undersized/slow one on board already, now we just need a slow and steady thumper with no thump and we are on our way.

He’s already lost more than he’ll ever recover. I’ll go with idiot, instead of clown, how’s that?

You guy are insane. He’s a former league MVP and at very least can keep you remotely competitive in a game if he has to come in. To think he’s not a MASSIVE upgrade over Kyle Allen is a joke. He’s a big personality, not saying he wouldn’t be a problem at some point, but pure talent, HELL Yes to him. I like Kyle Allen, he’s flashed enough to have a job in the NFL, but I’d rather never see him on the field for the Bills. Hopefully JA stays healthy all year, but I’d feel way better about Newton, than KA and it’s not close.

I can’t see Cincy or the Vikes letting Chase or Jefferson go, too good, young, near impossible to replicate what they do for the team. Cincy could pull off a trade for Higgins rather than deal w the contract, which would ultimately be great for them, cost controlled, good player, 2nd round investment, trade for a 1.

I don’t mind that, but I wouldn’t give up a first next year for him in the deal, upto, but no more than a second.

Priorities are winning a CHAMPIONSHIP, rigors season is just entertainment. This regime is not going to get it done.

Now THAT is a way to shut down all the non-sense about Lamar being a top 10 QB. The other crazy part, he has one season with over 4K yards COMBINED, rushing/passing. He’s a threat, but is he really that impactful? I don’t know. Believe it or not, I have had internet clowns argue with me that he’s averaged 4K yards because they want to project his stats over 17 games and determine that’s what he “would have” had if he was healthy…. Wow.. just wow.. never mind that he’s had one season in 5 where he’s actually gotten (barely) 4K yards, but he “averages” it. I’m guessing that might be his “agent” lol. To your point, the top QBs pass for more yards than he gains combined. If you look at the numbers, Allen actually destroys him, but then there’s ball the security argument too.

Tough place to be in, I want them to win it all, I’m also quite sure this regime will not get it done. So it may require losing to finally win.

I know, which is why I wouldn’t actually mind a complete collapse. This system isn’t good enough to win it all.

Guess you weren’t around for the 20 years before Allen huh? This team is a dumpster fire without him. The two are not that different at all.

Rapp is good insurance for Hyde. Hamlin was not great before, I wouldn’t count on him for anything to be honest. I don’t see them adding anybody else though.

We still need a TE1 so there’s that. WR2 would be nice too. So long as Davis isn’t the second option, I don’t care.

He’d be a nice back-up.

If Allen had busted, this whole regime would be gone. Without Allen this is a 6-7 win team AT BEST. Homer much?

If there were not a lot of other concerns on the roster and you didn’t have 3 guys who could all start, then sure. I’d love to have somebody better as a back-up at #4, but let’s be real, that’s not the priority.

He did, but he was not quite as dynamic as Kelce and no where NEAR as durable.

All you need is one of the best ever to play the game at TE, a guy who is literally impossible to stop and boom, WRs don’t really matter. Kelce makes that team work on O, he can block, and he’s an absolute nightmare as a receiver. He’s better than Gronk and arguably could be the very best ever at TE. When you have that, WRs are a bonus. KC is smart in going after speed to stretch D’s out and dump to Kelce under it all, nobody else has that. Would be nice if we did, or if our OC would recognize a horrible line and call for a quick throw game, but we have none of that.

I was thinking it was the number of times he would make any meaningful play this season.

I think it’s obvious, McDermott was/is a swinger and got tangled up with Bernard’s Aunt, who threatened to put him if they didn’t take her nephew at least 3 rounds earlier than anybody else would.

Lamb fell from his original projection, the package of picks given up for Diggs was relatively close to the value of 17 and would have saved a TON of cap space. If the same opportunity presents itself this year, Beane should be going up. WR is a NEED, what on earth would they do if Diggs was out for any period of time? There’s nobody on this roster that’s even a starter outside of Diggs.

I did not mention a single word about drafting a running back in the first round. I think you need a decent run game, which can be accomplished with a good running back, there’s no need to be taking one in the first round.

If you follow the logic of taking pressure off JA, then a RB is the answer. Even with more weapons to throw to JA still has to make the throws, handing it off means nothing on JA. IF and it’s a BIG IF, you could give him a decent running game and some time to pass, I think the current weapons are probably good enough for him to get it done. That said, he can’t be under fire EVERY time he drops back. Elite WRs get open and do it quickly, ok ones can usually break free, but need more time. No time to wait and a scheme that depends on a read of being open means you have to protect longer. Fixing the line will help the run game and the pass game, but even our best pieces on the OL are basically average and we pay them as if they are better.

I’ll take him as the coach right now, as a GM, no thanks. Not saying Beane is the answer, but Billy needs some checks and balances.

All depends on who falls, but if the right value is there, trade back. I could honestly see the Bills going the other way and going up to land a guy. It SHOULD be a cheap year to move based on the reports of lack of talent at premium positions, so if we see a situation like we saw when Lamb and Jefferson fell, I’d be fine going up 10 spots to land a difference maker.
