He’s hilarious because he clearly got bullied out of doing it. He’s much more conservative now, and that’s clearly the wrong way to go

I think Justin Herbert is a great QB being held back by putrid coaching moreso than just about anyone else in the league, but I also think he’s overrated. It’s kind of a conundrum.

This is why everything should be called “rumor.”

Okay so maybe 53 is only supposed to cover Jones on the outside, and if he goes inside, Edmunds is supposed to take him. I mean, if we are allowed to just make up whatever we want about the play, let’s do it.

The rumor is super bad. FBI raided his house and Halas hall.

Lmao

Quentin Nelson probably WAS a bad draft pick, strategically. Great player. HoF player. but what has that resulted in? Luke Kuechly same thing. Great player. HoF. But he’s been sitting on the couch for a few years. You know who isn’t? Fletcher Cox, interior rusher. He’s played in two Super Bowls. Hell, even Gilmore is still playing. ILB guys don’t play at a high level for 12 years. They are the defensive equivalent of running backs. And just because some are great and some have success and some win Super Bowls, doesn’t make it good strategy. The Chiefs took CEH over Tee Higgins. Terrible pick, terrible strategy. They won the Super Bowl again anyway. doesn’t mean the pick wasn’t still bad.

It was still a bad pick. I didn’t call it a grand failure, but when, as you said, it’s ultimately a lotto ticket, maximizing your hits and minimizing your misses is the only way to go. Which is why it was a bad pick. Because it didn’t do that. Even if Edmunds was a better player for 4 years and still got priced out, it would’ve been bad. The only way it would’ve been a good pick is if Edmunds was the best LB in the NFL for a decade. And even then, it would be about the result, not the strategy.

You just can’t grasp the difference between strategy vs results and that’s the disconnect. Honestly, lots of GM’s and TBDers can’t either. Again, DJ Moore and Jaire Alexander would still be Bills today.

When Edmunds was drafted, the Bills didn’t have Von Miller, or Greg Rousseau or Stefon Diggs lol. That’s the point. We could have built the team differently. Not to mention, no team has ever complained about having two great edge rushers or two great receivers. It was predictable that Edmunds would get priced out 5 years down the road because OF HIS POSITION. Because he doesn’t play a big money position so we will have to pay big money at those positions and then not want to pay him. You are acting like there was no way to know they wouldn’t throw money at a devalued position. You can try to draft with a vision for the future. In fact, it’s what good GM’s do. And that’s why the trade up for him was a bad pick. A predictable loss, and a ten to twelve year investment was cut in half. Bad. Would Jaire Alexander still be on this team? Would DJ Moore still be on this team? The answer is yes to both and you know it.

Another “he’s different” OSU QB who can’t hack it. CJ Stroud, our lonely nation turns its eyes to you.

He got his fifth year option picked up because the Bills didn’t want to sign him to a long-term deal lol. Again, if MLB isn’t a position you’d pay, then it’s not worth a first round pick. Neither is guard. Bad picks in the first. Man you’re right. I hate that people that want nothing more than to be proven right. It just beats a dead horse for no reason at all. Inexplicable.

Because nothing drives a fan base crazier than unreached potential.

Yeah that makes total sense lol. If you drafted the best QB in the NFL, you would pay him market value no matter what. Good pick. If you drafted the best pass rusher in the NFL, you would pay him market value no matter what. Good pick. If you draft a “solid” ILB, they will get overpaid by some garbage franchise and aren’t enough of a difference maker to be worth paying. Bad pick. See above.

Bears thought, like many Bills fans, he made multiple ProBowls so he must be good lol. Tyrod Taylor effect

53 was covering Jones. Edmunds has the middle zone. He goes left instead of right, bang TD Packers. Did you notice there was already a defender on the guy Tremaine went to go help? Lmao. This is the story of Edmunds career. Large completion in his zone? Oh, well it wasn’t technically his man so it’s all good. Misses the ball in the air, resulting in a completion? Oh, it was a tough play for any ILB to make. It must be nice to be playing the middle in and no matter what happens, it wasn’t your fault. Perks of being a zone coverage scarecrow that can’t cover. I watched the whole game. What’s it called when you presume something then are biased in confirming that opinion. Hmm, it will come to me. Thanks for playing!

Here’s the thing. No one or very few folks were out here claiming that Motor was really this special talent that mere mortals couldn’t help to recognize. He was a solid running back and those aren’t worth paying ever. No ill will. Meanwhile, the Big Scarecrow (tm) is currently manning the 31st defense in the NFL and allowing a 100% completion percentage while being targeted. How was it not on Edmunds? He has standard middle zone coverage. He picks right, ball goes left and BANG, touchdown Jordan Love. The Scarecrow was supposed to not let angle routes go for 75 yards.

Do his receiving. Spoilers, he took a 75 yarder to the house because middle zone Tremaine picked the wrong guy. Watch the games lmao. Nah it does. A first round pick is an extremely valuable asset. Even more so when it’s a trade up and not in the late stages of the round. You should spend first round picks on guys/positions where if they are a pretty good player, you don’t let them leave the building. Like QB, WR, EDGE or pressure, CB, LT.

If the player isn't worth a second contract, they aren't worth trading up in the first round for.

Watch the games. Aaron Jones took his lunch money

Spencer Brown was aided a lot schematically, and also lucky the Raiders don’t have any other quality defenders.

Allen didn’t just have a bad day. the Chiefs defense only gets the credit you’re giving them because Mahomes still mustered 300 yards and 2 TDs to one pick. If Allen had that vs the Jets, it would’ve been a blowout. Meanwhile, if Mahomes melted down and had 4 TO’s, they would’ve lost to the Jags.

Lmao yes the Steelers are bursting at the seams with OL talent, didn’t you watch last night?

I know the adage is you can’t teach size, but these physical specimens with terrible technique almost never pan out at the NFL level at the level they are projected at. The best OL players are usually much more technique than physical gifts, especially in pass pro.

Correct. easily predictable from a divisional rival that wants to power run anyway. here’s hoping it’s easy for McD and the boys to predict and be proactive, rather than get outcoached and saved by Josh.
