    Interesting concept of Josh Bolting to California after 2026.  Maybe explain how he's getting out of the 2027 and 2028 portion of his current contract.......waiting with popcorn.....

    Thats easy.

     

    After 3 more years of McD's utter incompetence blowing playoff game after playoff game, Josh gets fed up and demands a trade after the 2026 season.

    Might be wife by then.  

    I know there's alot of old farts on this board that haven't had an erection in 10+ years.

     

    But think back when you were young.

     

    Don't you all remember the power and passion of young love ?

     

    Well do you ?

    Jax is very talented but Lawrence was bad last year. Watched him alot cause had Ridley in fantasy

    I thought Lawrence was good at the beginning of the season and at the end had alot of injuries which affected his play.

    Thanks for the correction. Scratch everything I just said because the public money is only $850M not a billion. 

     

    In every stadium that has recently been built there are always cost over runs.

     

    In fact Atlanta wrote into the agreement that falcons would pay all cost over runs.

     

    In case of cost over runs for Bills who will pick up the cost ?

     

    Pegula? Surely you can't be serious. 

     

    It could easily be 1B by opening day

    The screens behind the LOS drove me crazy!  They weren't taking advantage of Stef's biggest asset, which is his route running ability.  Perhaps his struggles the second half of the season make teams focus on him less, at least at the beginning of the season, and it allows him to get into a groove.  I do think he was more beat up than he let on and it had an impact

    Me too.

     

    And as soon as he caught the ball he got hammered contributing to his injury issues

    Simmons will be 31 this year. Signing him would fly in the face of the "we need to get younger" mantra that was clearly directed towards the Safety position. We'd just be trading one expensive aging cast off for another.

    Too old. Another old often injured player.

     

    Let's stay the course and get younger

    My honest opinion? This is one of the weakest highlight videos I've ever seen for a supposedly 1st round talent.

     

    First of all nearly half the video is punt returns. Not a good sign when you have to fill time in a highlight video with plays that will be irrelevant when he hits the NFL (unless you are drafting a punt returner in the 1st round).

     

    More importantly every single pass catching highlight is the same. He catches the ball in open space and then zips by the defense at lightning speed. Where are the routes? Where is the shiftiness with the ball in his hands? Where are the catches outside of his frame? Can he find holes in zone? A couple times in these highlights he catches a vertical pass that is a tiny bit out in front of him and he falls to the ground while securing the catch, like a simple soft catch knocked him over.

     

    This looks like a mid-round pick to me. For him to be successful the play has to be set up specifically for him to receive the ball in space because he isn't going to set plays up on his own. The pass will have to be perfect and he'll have to hope the defense takes a bunch of bad angles. I don't see any shiftiness on his tape at all. He actually gets caught from behind more than a couple of times because he doesn't understand how to force bad angles. He's the definition of a straight line player.

     

    If any team takes Worthy in the 1st round it will end as badly as John Ross IMO.

    Very true.

     

    Worthy is no Ladd McConkey who is a master of getting open and finding holes in the zone

    Nah I doubt they change that. They are big on character and culture. They are going to draft guys they meet. Take that to the bank.

    Who is bigger on character and culture than a player who comes from Kirby Smarts system ?

     

    Mitchell is included in that culture

    You might need someone better at describing play design and tactics to explain this properly. The Bills faced a lot more man coverage last year because they did not have a big X that could push past the initial permitted "interference" at the line of scrimmage, win with speed on outside routes, and bulldoze coverage on intermediate routes. If the Bills had that player, Diggs would face single coverage more often, and the middle of the field would open up for the slot receiver because the opposing team would have to devote more resources to the WR at the X.

     

    Again, I am uncomfortable having to explain all this, because I love McConkey, and I would be thrilled to get him. If there were a way to get the big X and McConkey, who I personally believe is more capable as an outside receiver than many here give him credit, I would be as happy as a pig in . . . mud. I certainly do not agree with those folks who see McConkey as just another slot and a redundancy for Shakir. He is a much more talented receiver, and has wider usage than Shakir.

    The big X that you speak of may already be on the roster in Justin Shorter.

     

    6'4 235 and runs a 4.45.

     

    True Bills fans have already forgotten about him because he had a hard time getting on the field with Gabe and Sherfield ahead of him. There was just too much depth last season.

     

    That won't be the case this season as Shorter will have a good chance of getting playing time.

     

    Also you could move Shakir to the big X position and have Shorter back up both him and Diggs.

     

    Then go grab McConkey at 28, play him at slot and have Harty back him up.

     

    The big X that folks are looking for won't be on the board at the end of the first round or later.

     

    So go grab a really good slot that knows how to get open and can help Josh out

    Of course, that is inevitable. I am especially fond of McConkey since I believe he is going to be an excellent player and I am an UGA fan. 

    I'm sure you saw this game. UGA vs Florida. 

     

    I like McConkeys start/stop juking ability displayed at the :10 second and 1:36 second mark of the video.

     

    Commentator Gary Danielson remarks that McConkey runs "crisp routes with sharp cuts, nothing rounded off with incredible YAC ability" at the 2:02 mark of the video.

    I’m not pounding the table for the Bills to take McConkey, but Worthy measured in at 5’11 1/4” and 165 - same height as McConkey, but McConkey weighs 21 lbs more.

     

    Really, neither of them fill the role that Davis played, but both of them are likely better than Davis.  I know Worthy is super fast, but he is SO slight…

     

    Mitchell proved he is plenty fast and so did Legette - both considerably bigger and stronger, they would each fit the outside role.  Worthy, Mitchell and Legette on the board, who would you take if you were BB?

    McConkey has this uncanny juking ability where he can start and stop on a dime juking out defenders making them miss
