    He was CB1 in that draft before the injury...and I still think Douglas would be a good fit for McDermott’s D, but he’s not the tackler they want, nor does he have the ball awareness.


    Meh, forget the narrative, let the tape do the talking:

    That didn't show me anything.  I can find plays for other TEs that are doing the same thing.  He has like 9 penalties last year, while only playing like 50% of snaps.  Second most of team.  They just nitpicked certain plays.

    People don’t like hearing it, but Lee Smith is actually very good at what the team asks him to do. 
     

    However, I have no problem letting him go and putting a 6th OLman on the field instead, especially considering the mandatory 8th active OLman on game day rule.

     

    That has been the narrative but I just don't see it.  Last year I seen a lot of penalties and a lot of whiffs.

     

    I feel like guys get a reputation and it just follows them for years without really looking at their play.

  3. I don't get the narrative out there that he wasn't given a fair opportunity to succeed.

     

    He was put onto two teams that had very little QB competition and couldn't hold the job with either team. 

     

    Last year, Miami got instantly better with Fitz as QB and became respectable.  He was really bad with them.

     

    He stinks, why is that so hard for people to say?

    And if he gets 1200 yards and is a total locker room cancer and stunts the growth of the two young backs you signed up to be part of your team for more than 1 year are you still good with that?

     

    And if he gets 1700 all purpose yards, pounds the ball into the endzone so Allen doesn't,  and teaches Moss a thing or two about punishing grown men, are you good with that?

    Another stat btw - 

     

    Singletary only faced an 8 man box on 5% of his rushes. 

     

    https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/rushing#percent-eight-defenders

     

    The lowest of any back in the NFL. His averages, his efficiency numbers, they are going to take a HUGE hit this upcoming season.  For comparison sake, Fournette faced an 8 man box 30% of the time. Around 10th highest in the league. Consider that Singletary averaged 5 yards per carry, while Fournette averaged 4.3.  

     

    Frank Gore faced an 8 man box 37% of the time, and averaged 3.6 YPC. 

     

    If Fournette does become a Bill, you're looking at a 1500 yard back. He's not going to face nearly as many 8 man boxes with Diggs here, and Allen improving his deep ball, and our TEs getting better. 

     

    Exactly.  People already have Singletary pegged for the HOF.  I really wanted this team to trade for Fournette before the draft.  I just don't trust Singletary to be an every down RB.

  6. Beane played the Kroft contract incredibly bad.

     

    The contract when it was signed was horrible.

     

    He had a chance to get out after last season with like a million and half dead cap, and instead restructured to bring the dead cap up to 5 million this year in order to have no dead cap next year.  Everyone knew this guy has no business being on this roster this year and now he has to be.

  7. It's crazy to think, that Bills fans have been a huge reason for the growth of the Bills, more than any marketing department out there.

     

    Individual fans branding the "Billsmafia" and spreading it on social media has done more for expanding the fanbase than any marketing department has done.

     

    The best part about it, is the official Bills have done everything possible to try and limit the expose of the fans.
