  1. We are going to end up with the fast combine WR who isn’t as fast on an actual football field, aren’t we.
  2. It upsets me so very much that the Eagles constantly have great players falling to them.
  3. Eagles are 100% taking the CB right
  4. How does Philly constantly find themselves in these incredible positions.
  5. I’m fearful that the Chiefs jump in front of us and take a WR.
  6. McD must be licking his chops seeing all the defensive players fall.
  7. Could be. Depends how many 2nd round grades there are. If there are 30+ second round grades, then it would still be a 2nd round pick.
  8. I have to agree with Alpha here. If you watch Worthy's highlights, he isn't really separating from the CB very much. It's not like Tyreek Hill where he just blazes past guys.
  9. Chris Trappaso (CBS) made a good point on WGR last night. When you're picking 28th and lower every year, a 1st round pick is really a 2nd round pick. In most draft years, there are only about 20-25 first round graded players. So if you're a team like the Bills, who is consistently picking late 20's in the first round, trading a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick is similar to trading 2 second round picks.
  10. You will receive an email too. Looks like this:
  11. The demolition idea is a bit ridiculous. Say a new owner wanted to move the team in 15 years - The State/County would NOT demolish a 15 year old stadium. They would move UB there before that happened. It’s one of those “this sounds good but isn’t of any real benefit” type clauses.
  12. I’ve read the entire lease agreement top to bottom. I recommend that everyone does. It IS just a question of paying back the money. The Buffalo News is funded by PSE and puts out puff pieces like you listed all the time. The goal is to convince the public of what they want - in this case, that the lease is ironclad. It’s not. The theory that the Bills (and NYS) attempted to float is that NYS could sue the Bills to stay. Except, no court in recent history has ever stopped a team from moving. And multiple cities have tried. “If the goal here is to keep the Bills in Buffalo long term, then [the lease] absolutely should have an extremely stringent requirement [to stay]… It’s weak to me.” - J.C. Bradbury, an economics professor at Kenneshaw State University who has studied stadium deals. The demolition talk is ridiculous. The State/County has no desire to demolish a stadium less than 30 years old. They would move UB there before that happened.
  13. If someone purchased the team RIGHT NOW, for the fair market value, it would only cost about ~20% more to leave. Twenty percent more, to leave us with a hole in the ground and an bunch of metal and concrete. After 15 years, the penalty to relocate reduces annually.
  14. If this is correct, then PSL’s are following a formula of two and a half times the season ticket rate in the non-club seats. Question becomes: Is this a multiple of the current season-ticket rate, or the new stadium-season ticket rate?
  15. And it took the Jets 3 years. This isn’t some massive difference - it’s literally 10 months. Your attempts to frame it as drastically different is not going to fly.
  16. Trubisky was a 1st round pick on his rookie contract too. There were no takers. But forget that for a moment - even when they released him, and it cost NOTHING in trade value to sign him, teams still had little interest. He signed a 1 year $2M deal. No turnips here. Even with the Jets picking up half his salary, they are STILL paying him more than we are for Trubisky (2.75 vs 2.5).
  17. And Trubisky has zero trade value. He was released by the Bears just 1 year after the Jets released Wilson and the Bills got him on a 1 year, $2M deal. He had no market then and he has no market now. Steelers record with Trubisky: 2-6 Steelers record without Trubisky: 17-9 I'm not sure how it gets much clearer than that. Zach Wilsons record sucks too, but the Jets suck with or without Wilson. He did not drag them down like Trubisky dragged the Steelers down. As mentioned prior, Zach Wilson beat 3 playoff teams last year. Took the Super Bowl champs to the final minute too.
  18. It's not. And the NFL agrees with me. Trubisky was released by the Steelers as he had no trade value. He has lost 5 of his last 6 games, all of which were games against NON-playoff teams. This, while playing on a Steelers roster that had a winning record when he was NOT the quarterback. Wilson on the other hand was worthy enough to trade some draft value (albeit small) for. Last year, Zach Wilson beat THREE (3) playoff teams. The Bills, Eagles, and Texans. He also took the Chiefs down to the final minute. He beat more playoffs team last year than Trubisky has beaten in the last five (5) years COMBINED. I don't want either as a starter, but as for a backup, give me Zach all day, every day over Trubisky. I watched Trubisky hold the Steelers back repeatedly over the last two years. It is my opinion that he is barely deserving of an NFL roster spot.
