Let me clarify myself a little more. As my “friend” Jauronimo kindly pointed out the title of this thread was misrepresented, kudos to him. I’m all for Josh having a great exciting life, charity softball, Kentucky Derby’s, prestigious golf tournaments, etc etc. I’m all FOR it! Josh has earned every bit of it and I’m EXTREMELY happy for him, he deserves and earned every bit of it. What I’m referring to is the stark change to his perceived image, right, wrong or indifferent. All of a sudden he’s in a break up with his childhood beau, rumored that he plowed a Buffalo barmaid and got her pregnant and the sudden modeling in popsicle suits. Sorry, I don’t like the direction that he appears to be heading, it just seems out of character for him. Furthermore I don’t doubt that when the football flies he’ll still be physical but I want his image to stay intact. Call me whatever you want because I think that I more than proven that I don’t care what any of you think and your opinion of me. I’ve been on this message board a long time and what I have witnessed is that they’re far too many of you that think that they can say and do anything they want towards others. I guarantee that you won’t find too many times where I have totally came out and insulted others. In the few times that I have acted negative towards others was in response, I NEVER initiated it. Do you know why? It’s because I’m a staunch believer in that if I’m not man enough to say it to your face then I’m not going to be a weasel enough to hide behind a keyboard. My only wish is that I would like to see more people follow this philosophy but then again I’ve always been accused of being a dreamer…

I’m just hoping that Josh doesn’t go this far! https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2020/9/15/21437221/cam-newtons-outfits-nfl-patriots-2020 https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2019/09/13/cam-newton-postgame-outfit-scarf-twitter-reaction-carolina-panthers

Omg, I’m crying over here! 🤣🤣🤣 Blah, blah, blah. Shoo fly.

Hit that edit button gobills 1212! Lol!

Uh-oh you’re starting to stutter!

No, I was just responding to your ramble without calling you names.

This is one time I have to agree with you sir.

No. Josh is the toughest QB I have ever seen in my life. I just think he looks ridiculous posing like the way he does.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to post this! The amazing thing is you didn’t even have to edit your response, it looks like you did it all in one breath. Nice job! Speaking of Diggs I LOVE his play but personally I don’t like him. Respond with something about that, I’d love to hear your take unless of course you’re too busy.

It’s not really the endorsements, it’s the posing/modeling. He looks ridiculous. At least flame me for the accurate accusation.

I’m big on Josh Allen, love his competitive nature, amazed by his abilities but it seems like since the Britney split he’s going pretty deep on posing and modeling. I’ll admit that he looked great at the Kentucky Derby but his poses are a little too much for my liking and now I just a post on IG for caps and it was like this guy thinks he’s a model now. Sorry, don’t like it, flame me all you want but I just want him to concrete on being a rough and tough QB who plows through defenders, not a guy sitting in a armchair posing waiting on GQ to give him a call. The clothes and such are nice but truth be told the only thing that I want to see him modeling is a Super Bowl ring. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr_5dFcgWod/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

This is so freaking hysterical…..and intelligent! Thanks for this great response, it’s worth putting up with all the muck to discover a gem like you. Now in response to your response. I didn’t pick Oliver nor am I going to be the one to decide who his successor is going to be. All I did was suggest that a return on the investment should be considered more intently than what I perceived with what the past has shown. To be specific it looks like Poona would be the replacement to me. Once again that was decided by the higher ups. Btw, I believe that I could achieve profit if given the opportunity but I’m not. I can’t do it being a casual fan, I would need the same resources as the powers to be have. It’s no secret that this franchise has found themselves cashed strapped by the league’s regulations. Removing Oliver off the books now but more importantly in the near future is a form of compensation in it’s own rite. The reference that the gnomes are using slightly better logic than me strikes me as a contradiction. There is no logic in fear, which I believe is the case of the majority of opinions in not moving Oliver. Last but not lease, in your analytical way you stated that if you were to work for me you’d quit, correct? To accuse me of being emotional, which btw you would be correct, there are 2 things that I would like to say in response to that accusation. The first thing is that that is not intelligent but more so logical to come to that conclusion because like I said before I’m just a fan which is short for fanatical and fanatical is a good description of emotional imo. Secondly, you stated that you would quit if you were to work for me. That’s an emotional reaction without knowing or stating what I would be paying you. Decisions can and are influenced by compensation. To take it further you would have to be hired before you could quit and that is called an assumption and we all know where that word came from. In closing I must say that you gave one of the best responses that I have ever seen on this board. Thanks!

I’m not clamoring to trade Oliver because I have a personal vendetta and/or to trade him just to trade him without a plan. I’ve been pounding the table now about getting a return on a high price asset. I found myself realizing this in the hindsight of Tremaine Edmunds walking out the door and getting nothing in return. If getting a compensatory pick as compensation for a high 1st rd draft pick works for you then fine but it doesn’t work for me. One other note. I watched Sal Capaccio the other night and he stated something that I found interesting. At no time under McDermott’s watch have we kept more than 4 DTs on the roster. We currently have 5.

I would love to see the Bills make a trade for him. I checked what the Ravens are still in need of and DT was one of the positions of need. Now that the Bills signed Poona Ford could Ed Oliver be expendable in some kind trade for Queen? I don’t know what would be fair compensation in a trade scenario involving these 2 but I’m not against the concept if it were to materialize.

Prayers for this family to find the strength during this time. Totally a heartbreaker.

I read these responses and it only strengthens my point. Edmunds wasn’t good enough to extend and wasn’t good enough to trade but people are apparently satisfied that “we got 5 years” out of a 1st rd pick that we actually moved up in the draft to take?? Do I got that right?? What am I missing here?! I can understand that every draft pick, even 1st rders, don’t always work out but I do expect for the GM to recognize that long before the player’s contract runs out. Letting a 3rd, 4th or a 5th rder go is much more palatable than just losing out on a mid 1st rder altogether. Now here we are in potentially the same type of situation with Oliver. I’m curious, what is the resolution with him? Do the Bills let him walk as well and hope for a compensatory pick or do we extend him? I would like to think that a 9th overall pick should be worth more than just 5 at best average years of service or a possible compensatory pick. If we don’t want to keep him, and that should have been decided long before the end of his contract, then I would like to get something for him in a trade, that’s all I’m saying.

I didn’t agree or liked that the Bills traded up in the 1st rd for Edmunds and then just let him walk without receiving some kind of compensation for him. Now there’s Oliver and as far as I can tell there’s been no movement with him on a new contract. I think it’s crazy that a team would invest a 1st rd pick and then they don’t extend him or get anything back for him. A player and/or a first rd pick, these are assets. There’s times that I think that Beane isn’t too shrewd with the Pegulas’ money. I don’t believe that the Bills are going to extend Oliver and I’m ok with that but man get some kind of return for him, don’t just let him walk, the guy was the 9th overall pick for Pete’s sakes! If they already know that they’re not going to keep him then please trade him for something! If they do then hopefully they trade him during the draft so they can improve their 1st rd pick for a good player.

The Bills will trade off Oliver to move up in the draft.

well thought out post, thanks for sharing. Go Bills!

Wow, that is exactly what will make this offense elite!

I think that people are taking for granted that all the RBs, which imo all the RBs that the Bills currently have on the roster (except for Cook) have their limitations, are going to stay healthy. This is the position where the player gets hit all the time. I would really like to see another RB back there with some size. I like UCLA RB Zach Charbonnet as well, either him or Abanikanda works for me and if using a 3rd or a 4th rder to fortify this offensive position then I think that the draft pick used would be well spent. The best part of Charbonnet is that he worked hard to get himself into position to be a top RB.

Oops, maybe I misspoke, I pulled up the roster on the Bills’ app and there he was listed. Either way it doesn’t matter with him because he’s just a STer which shows the need all the more. Btw, thanks for your alertness! I must say if anyone ever wants to find out information on the Bills, past or present, all one needs to do is to pull up this message board because it is VERY astute.

Here’s my thinking, at one point, beginning of last season, we had a ton of secondary guys and it seemed that in a blink of an eye we were down to a7th rder, FAs and just back up type players. If James Cook goes down then what do we really have, a Patriot cast off (Harris)? A 3rd down RB (Hines) or a STer (Jones)? No, the Bills need another RB, a valid one at that and imo Abanikanda could be that guy, he’s heavier than Cook and he can also catch out of the backfield, so why not him? There’s usually some quality RBs in the 3rd and 4th rds and I think Abanikanda fits the Bills’ criteria.

As much as I would love for the Bills to draft Texas RB Bijan Robinson, maybe Abanikanda could be a steal in the 3rd rd, might take a move up though for that to happen.

I’m glad that your post has been revived, I wanted to do it the other day but I didn’t know how. Anyways I believe that at pick #27 Washington is a very worthy candidate for the Bills. He would bring immediate help to the OL, provide a valid 2 TE set that would be very potent and it also allows some more flexibility for the following couple of rounds after the 1st round. I’d be very happy with the pick, I lived in Augusta, Ga for 3 years and still have a lot of connections up there and they are absolutely crazy about the guy, they have a rabid fan base for the Bulldogs up there.
