I fear i'll never get to experience pee-steam again.

That's because our #1 CB exited the game after the first series. Injuries can derail any position. With our full stable of average CB's we held KC to 20 points in the reg season. Don't get me wrong - i understand where you're coming from. And its not that I think having capable CB's is a bad thing. I just don't think they are SB changers. I dont think adding a top 10 CB to last years roster would have made one iota of difference in winning the SB. Jmo. Adding a top 10 pass rusher/d-linemen (for example) and I think we are representing the AFC last year.

Apologies if I was not clear enough. I would be deeply disappointed in the *position*. Not the player. Unless the next Revis is there for us to pick, I simply do not see value in CB's in the first round. Ever. Not only do we have a CB savant as head coach, who has turned crap into lemonade, but CB's simply do not move the Super Bowl needle in my opinion. I want positions that move the SB needle. Positions that have the potential to get us over the top. D-linemen - by nature of their ability to completely take over a game if you get the right one - is an example. Even if you draft a top 10 CB, they are not going to take over a game and get you over the hump. They'll solidify your backfield - but im looking for more than that.

I will be so deeply disappointed if we take a CB. I get that its a need... but come on. I cant think of a single team ever that won SB's because they had that one amazing CB.| Give me a game wrecking d-linemen. Any of those available in this draft (I haven't been paying attention)?

We could tag him for another year. 1 year, 11-13 mill.

I get what youre saying, but I dont think so. This is the last season ever at the stadium. Every game played will be one game closer to its demise. I'm actually fairly emotional about the whole thing - and I dont become emotional over much. This is a stadium I 'grew up' in (so to speak). Every home Bills memory I have, took place in that stadium. AFC Championship games, Jimbo and Bruuuuuuce, and Reed, and the comeback, and Marv, and Van Miller (damn I miss him). So many core memories in that crumbling concrete for so many people.

Also something to be said about coming back to a system that Tre knows, is comfortable with, and has succeeded in. Meaning, if he is going to succeed anywhere at this stage in his career, Buffalo is his most likely chance.

Nope. It stays. We owe his dead cap + his new cap.

I did not watch him last season, so I have no idea how he did. But I just went to the Rams forum to read comments about how he did last season and they are not good. These are comments made DURING the season:

I remember during the drought someone did an analysis that showed we would have had far more success picking quality players if we just followed kiper/mcshays draft board from TV, rather than the GMs of those eras.

If you can’t count on your GM to make the right pick, it doesn’t matter if you’re picking 5th or 50th. Wherever you pick, you need to have a guy that can evaluate talent. And the fact that Beane was never a true scout is telling (imo).

Trading with KC again would make me contemplate my fanhood.

I do agree with you that he probably worked very hard

I’m sure he did work hard. I’m sure he ran as fast as he could, and lifted a lot of weights, and participated to the best of his ability. I mean, his stupid head coach says that he wasn’t very good and his d coordinator said they didn’t want him and all the players say he was a players-coach, but… they’re stupid anyway, right? We of course know that your opinion matters more!

You’re right, but honestly…. dont bother. He’s not listening. The D coordinator of the team said they didn’t want him but he wouldn’t go away and B716 still thinks the guy made it because he is just a good player 😂. Not worth it. PS, to add to your point… Most D1 programs have hundreds of walk-ons trying to make it. Yale has… checks notes.. 7 (according to the head coach).

Because I read up on it. To quote his head coach: “He was small and he couldn’t run fast. I thought ‘he’s not going to be around here really long”. They then go into how he was used as a coach and not a player. Not sure why you’re so determined to spin history into something it wasn’t. His head coach, players on the team, etc all said he was a coach. Not a player. He did not “make the team as a walk-on” in the sense that they accepted him because he was a gifted dude who worked hard. They accepted him to coach other players! Actually the head coach said 7-10 guys showed up for walk-on. Actually they did. The defensive coordinator said in an article that they didn’t really want him but he “just wouldn’t go away” so they finally let him on the team to help them prepare. You can keep trying to spin this if you want but you’re just flat out wrong.

Im aware. And he “made it”, because of his acumen. Not because he was a player. They did not see him as a player, use him as a player, and the articles about him on the team state that he had “no chance” to play. In fact, for the majority of his time there, he was on the JV team (and still didn’t see the field). He was a coach.

Eh… He was a player-coach in D1. Not a’ actual player. He was a walk-on that only suited up for practice, but that was the totality of his “playing”. He is in no stat book because he never was on the field. He was labeled a “player-coach” and a “film room guru”.

…most of Miami’s leadership from last year either signed elsewhere as free agents (Calais Campbell and Jevon Holland), retired (Terron Armstead), are seeking a contract extension that feature raises (Zach Sieler and Jonnu Smith), or have gone silent (Tua Tagovailoa). Nobody is saying it out loud, but it seems the players McDaniel empowered — giving full control of the locker room and the team last season — have turned on him. https://amp.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/omar-kelly/article304254006.html Another beat reporter states that McDaniels was so upset with this report that he hiked up his capri pants even higher.

Not how comp picks work unfortunately. It really depends on who we sign that year too. We may end up getting nothing for Cook. For example, the Giants lost Saquan Barkley - who went on to have ann MVP quality season - and they got 0 comp pick for him because it was cancelled out by them signing Drew freaking Lock.

- If you think we PUNTED from New Englands 35 yard line instead of kicking a field goal because McDermott thought it gave us a better chance to win… - If you think McDermott took Trubisky out and put Mike White in because he wanted to save Trubisky for the playoffs… - If you think we went to the most vanilla offense of all time (loved the decision to run shallow crossers on 3rd and long 😂) in the 4th quarter because we wanted to grab that victory… Then I have oceanfront property in arkansas to sell you… cheap. Who mentioned players? Of course the players played hard.

Wow it keeps getting worse.

Yes, thats true. However, unlike a normal drug test, medical examiners can differentiate between Adderal and Street Meth by the isomer of the compound found. The tox report also stated that Vontae was a known illicit drug user and there was "suspected drug paraphernalia" in his room including "clear capsules containing white and tan powder." I don’t think we (the public) will ever know.

Can you really blame the poster you’re responding to? If someone else posted what you have in this thread, it would be whatever. But you? You have spent years calling everyone under the sun “scum”. Jerry Lewis death thread - you call him scum. OJ’s death thread - you call him scum. Ferguson - scum. JJ Watt - scum. Ty Cobb - scum. Tony Romo - scum. Von Miller - scum. Clemens - scum. Cornelius Bennet - scum. You’ve made a habit of calling countless people “scum” over the years without hesitation, but now you suddenly want to play moral authority and tell everyone not to talk about the fact that some college player — who you probably didn’t even know existed until two weeks ago — literally caused a man’s death and ran from the scene? Save the outrage. That being said, feel awful for his family and the fact that he felt that this was his only way out. Extremely sad. Clearly the outcome of his actions affected him negatively. Says something positive about his character.

Funny but lets not derail this one thread.
