Not much downside here (please stay off twitter dude).
He is NOT banged up, VERY rested, JA familiar.
What's the worst that can happen? He catches a few balls?
Some lake affected expected. It’s still just Tuesday. 6” is business as usual. fish brought heat to LA—but will they bring Squirrels ?https://twitter.com/aaronch7weather/status/1602257050289033221/photo/1
There are 2 of 8 games per year that weather confound another team. 25% of games. Bills at least are ready for it, not sure it helps bills much at all but they are mentally ready.
Each NFL dome I’ve been to is more tame vs OP. a very different vibe. Even Bills Ford Field…Strollers vs no tables seen.
I sometimes worry that our team’s “live fire” game repetition gets limited due to weather. Example. WR timing routes “live fire” hard to do at OP this month’s rain, winds, snow (cough).
The idea of a “no look” pass in OP? Bahhahahaha.
We can’t compare today with pre free agent Kelly years. There are too many fundamentally different conditions (free agency, offense rules, safety). We locked up the top 3 QB for 6 yrs. JA is our competitive advantage, a shame to waste in punt-fest weather. Henry would be a better fit for our stadium but a bad fit for today’s NFL.
Why the hell does anyone think sh#t weather is an advantage when Bills pass first, top QB, deep passes, below avg RB play.
Bad weather was an advantage with Tyrod, I guess. Being used to the sh#t vs. being an advantage are not the same.
Yes. “What’s my team’s unique differentiated competitive advantage?” A=JA17.
So, over leverage, exaggerate that unique advantage!! Draft a downfield speed threat, for example.
Tuafish + Hill = HUGE
17 + 14 = HUGE
17 + 14 + OJB = HUGER, maybe.
I trust Beane to make the right choice OBJ--health, skill, cost, timeframe.
Can anyone imagine JA17 without 14 now?
That's what swinging for top quality WR's can do.
Everyone gets he is:
an older dude (ageism)
a former HC (re-tread),
defense side (not in vogue)
Nothing new or flashy about him, period. Season tickets will not be sold on his HC hiring!!
:13 is just icing on the cake "sorry you missed your chance"
He can change the story with 2022 SB win.
5-8 NFL HC openings at $10M. Yup, he's an older guy with a :13 screw up.
But, seriously, is Frazier a top 8 BEST football coach on the planet Earth? I think not. (neither is Hackett but, hey, go Broncos!).
It's not worth it for Bills.
We've all been in a place where we had to make a decision at 21 yrs old. He and his buddies made wrong choices. And, HOWEVER it all exactly went down, he had choices and picked poorly. Beane has a choice and I'm quite certain he won't pick a dumb punter.
Almost any condition can be adjusted for in a contract (study hrs., knee). There was no reason to blast the dude in public like Jerry did unless it is for negotiation (OBJ wants Dallas bigtime) or pure Dallas ego (Jerry saving face). Odell made it clear to these teams he wasn't "working out on visit". They all know what that means and they all have deep experience with injuries and contracts.
