The fans deserve some clarity. Statements like, we are going to do everything we can to make this right. I want to hear it, it’s only the right thing to do.
It’s not enough to say I hope this kid gets a chance. The only way this becomes right is by allowing the Bills to get Araiza back.
I have to assume that Araiza was told by management that they believed him, but due to huge amounts of public pressure they had no choice. If Araiza doesn’t want to return, thats fine, but the league needs to give the Bills the 1st option if Araiza wants to return.
The whole league and national fan base put loads of pressure that forced this. The NFL has to do the right thing here and let Araiza return to Buffalo if Araiza wants that.
Frankly no, if I was Araiza and knew management couldn’t be with me during the worst of times, they don’t deserve me during the best of times.
I blame crappy bills fans and McD/Beane for caving to a crazy world.
Now we lost a great talent for all you idiots that couldn’t let the legal process carry on. Guilty until proven innocent isn’t the proper method.
To make the universe right, the NFL should give the Bills the 1st option to have him return.
This is true, but I’m kind of ok with just leaving Latavius back there for good measure. I want Allen sitting comfortably and slinging it all year long. Not many NFL teams have to personnel to handle Diggs, Knox, Kincaid, and Davis all out there running routes.
Having Latavius and Damien on our team is an underrated upgrade. Both are highly capable backs.
Latavius is an excellent blocker, which will come in handy when we are in our 2 TE sets . If all 4 or Diggs, Knox, Kincaid, and Davis are out on routes, having Latavius back to pick up somebody isn’t a bad thing. Same thing for Harris as well.
Davis was a massive disappointment last year, so if he’s seeing 2nd in targets, we aren’t winning a super bowl. None of this rookie bs, we’ve seen rookies get thrown into the mix right away. If Kincaid isn’t seeing more targets than Davis, then Kincaid was a reach in the 1st.
They were in the back half of passing because their WRs are trash. When you are back half of passing and yet your QB goes round 1, that’s a major redflag against the quality of receivers.
I’ve stated my reasons logically. How do we expect Shorter to contribute on this team when he couldn’t even do much on a team that had a 1st round QB?
In a way, I think that’s precisely why some 30% of the league is made up of udfas, because a lot of talented players do things with subpar talent around them but teams are afraid of the competition talent divide. Meanwhile most of your busts are from players with marginal production with great surrounding talent. Which is why I’m concerned about Shorter.
I never said that. I said I was extremely disappointed that Shorter played with a 1st round QB, and still couldn’t separate enough against SEC talent for his QB to find him. I said Iosivas never had that chance as he didn’t play with Richardson or against SEC teams in the season. What we do know is he was at the senior bowl practices and did well against players like Rush in practice. I just find it really disappointing that Shorter couldn’t do anything of value with Richardson as his QB.
