    Aren't we really discussing generational "wealth"?  

     

    I don't think there's such a thing as generational money.  Money is an input into wealth but it's not the only input.  It's just the income.  

     

    You can make $10 million dollars a year.  The person who blows it all on conspicuous consumption is a different wealthy from the one that hides it all in the walls of his house as cash or the one who takes that same money and invests it into real estate, the stock market, etc.  

     

    The wealthy in this country, even historically, weren't Scrooge McDuck swimming in a room full of greenbacks.  Their wealth was in lots of things. 

     

    Any NFL player can be generationally wealthy - it depends on what he does with that income.   

    Yes.  Any NFL player that invests heavily for a few years in their 20's should be set even if they work a common job the balance of their working years.  The time value on say $100k invested before you're 26 would be tremendous.

    I wonder if we did sign Connor Williams, we could move Daryl Williams to LG?  
    I really liked what I saw from Bates but that was only a 5-6 stretch?  We were fooled with Ryan Groy….remember him?

    I'd be far more excited to see the interior OL bolstered than to acquire a receiver. I'd like to see 7 starting caliber OL on the roster- to include Bates.

  3. I continue to lose interest in the NFL, but not necessarily in the actual game of football.  The NFL and the media that covers it has become more and more about everything but the game.  Hot takes, concussions, politics, who said what on twitter, activism, etc.  I watch sports to get away from these things but that's increasingly difficult.  The WGR/Bills radio does do a pretty good job of sticking to football compared to the national feed IMO.

    Oh yea cause

    The Who

    Maroon 5

    Coldplay

    That's the music everyone likes.

     

     

    Also this thread is a prime example of "Tell me you are an old white due without telling me you are an old white dude."

    The real crime is lumping in Coldplay and Maroon 5 in with The Who.  That's like putting Will Smith in with Chuck D and Ice-T.

  5. Another poster made me aware of him.  As much as people don't want yet another high draft pick spent on the DL, we really haven't spent one on the 1-Tech which is (to me) a different position than that of DE and Oliver's position.  The Bills committed to the smaller 3-tech and MLB that struggles to disengage the opponent's OL, so they really have to firm this position up.  I know the modern trend is to have your DTs be near the same pass rush threat as your DE's, but somebody has to own their real estate.  Davis may not be a pass rusher, but I think he helps the pass rush indirectly. 

     

    Were the Bills to shore up corner and/or interior OL with free agents, I'd be happy with this pick.

  6. Signing just one stable free agent to improve either corner, C/G, WR, or 1-Tech DT will greatly simplify the draft picture.  Not talking about reclamation projects, but known commodities.   Would like a quality guard in free agency since the interior OL needs starting level talent from Game 1.  Josh is lethal with a good O-line (protection) and all moves need to support this.  Other positions can be drafted and worked in when ready.

    With 9 picks in the upcoming draft, use one of the day-3 choices and get the best punter available if there's one that is seen as an upgrade over Haack or other available FA's. 

    Would love to have a punter who can hang it high to give the Bills' defenders an opportunity to down it inside the 20 consistently.  Getting sick of net gains of 30 yards with touchbacks following punts.

    Agree.  The old cliche points about kickers and punters not being real football players and not worth drafting have no merit.  A good punter is a weapon and more is made and lost with a good punter than the backup scrub you usually get in Rds 6-7.

  7. His short passing has gotten much better which considering he's usually ready to rifle it, a shorter touch pass is impressive in its way. 

     

    If I had to nitpick on items to work on:

    1) The arcing deep pass a la Jim Kelly. Jim threw a rainbow which had its advantages.  Allen looks less confident floating those deeps passes. Still tends to overthrow.

    2) Throwing in rhythm with fewer plays having to be extended ad libs and unplanned roll-outs. These are gold to watch, but I see plays take a while to develop. Maybe due to wanting the deep man too much or mostly reading far to near? Would love to see 3 step drops and quick slants with some RAC (pending the receiver to do it.)

    3) Screen plays. Certainly far from being something Allen can fix himself, but we struggle here and it's a part of handling an aggressive D line. Bills haven't consistently run effective screens since.......?
