  1. Good for him! Glad he landed somewhere. One of the two best 1st round DBs drafted by the Bills in the last 30 years (Antonio Winfield Sr).
  2. Wilson is not starter material and I agree that with Taylor on the team, Wilson is useless for the Jets. But it also makes me wonder what the Jets' long term plan for a starting QB is. Rodgers will play for what another 2 seasons max? What then? I post this not with any genuine concern but with a sense of glee.
  3. That's already happened. Torrence and Kincaid started and Benford, a 6th round rookie, did too Yea, speed by itself isn't the determining factor for safety, or any position for that matter. But speed in our D backfield is needed to cover the likes of Tyreek Hill.
  4. I suppose you won't tell us who this "someone" is either. I hate you. That and a lot of virtual nasty looks at @Kirby Jackson
  5. I am pretty sure you are wrong but this season will show us more. I think he did very well in his rookie season and appears to be a good kid. So I expect him to work on his craft and improve. Let us temper expectations about his stats though. Presuming we add a blue chip WR in the first round, there will be a lot of good hands for Allen to throw to. On the Chiefs, Kelce is their #1 receiving threat. Kincaid doesn't and should not need to be that for the Bills. WR should be primary and TE for blocking, making lot of first downs and scoring TDs.
  6. Waitaminnutt You are saying @Beck Water sometimes does lie? 🤔
  7. This is my take as well. The way he was used was different with Brady and made me believe it was Dorsey's asks of him which limited his effectiveness as well as his development. Perhaps Dorsey did not trust him enough to run the deeper and more complex routes? Now it is up to Kincaid to put in the work in the off season on his body, his mechanics and understanding of route concepts. If he does that, I truly believe he will be one of the top 3 TEs next season. There is no reason to believe he won't put in the work - kid looks to be a good dude.
  8. Fair points but the way I look at it, which position group which is currently weak can positively impact the outcome of games if filled? Imo, it's an outside WR who will complement the current group of receivers and then allow a broader set of plays almost impossible for an opposing team to defend. If we hit on such a WR in the draft, even if he has 50-60 catches, those will change the nature of our passing game. As I said a few days ago, we have gone down the road of beating the chiefs by loading up on defense. Yet we failed every time it mattered. Time to take a different strategy and complement our best asset JA17
  9. That cannot be labelled "worst mistake" in a vacuum. Generally on stacked rosters or in a weak draft class, this is true. But, this is a rare year where our weakness is matched with a good draft class for that position. Besides that, our main rival also needs WRs and will undoubtedly pick the best available at their #32 spot. So, if the BPA is a DT and the next best WR is let's say ranked #29-#31 on the Bills' board, you take the WR to strengthen your own team to help outscore the Chiefs and also to keep that guy away from that rival. Doing anything but a WR would be a great example of being a slave to the BPA strategy without thinking of these other angles. I don't think Beane will get too cute. He will draft a WR at #28 or move up a bit
  10. And thereby risking the Chiefs take the next best WR? I seriously doubt it. The last thing we need is for Beane to be such a slave to the value charts that he passes on a WR he has pegged as a #30 pick (as an example) because "the value wasn't there". I would rather be move up a bit or down before the Chiefs to get a WR.
  11. 6th rounder which can become a 4th rounder ? I didn't think we was perceived around the league so poorly
  12. Cook needs to work on his catches. Towards the end of the season he was dropping too many balls for my liking
  13. Without a doubt. I am not disagreeing with what you are saying. My point is that it's not Peterman's fault that he keeps getting jobs. He sucks on the field but has done a good job marketing himself.
  14. He is a terrible football player, agreed. But to your words of "he is still taking a job", it's the front offices who are willingly paying him. I really don't blame him or his agent to continue getting employed as a player.
  15. Not on center necessarily, but I really want one of the 4th round picks to go to OL. We have to keep the pipeline full on that line. Of our top 4 picks, 2 each on O and D makes sense to me. WR, S, DT/DE and OL.
  16. If picking up the option costs $13mm, I am in favor of doing it. He had a down year but he has potential, plays steadily and is still young. His best may be in front of him
  17. Well, Eagles did pony up big bucks to sign Barkley.
  18. He generally does, but I don't understand this move due to the $$
  19. Figures. Get another underperformer from the Bills
  20. The issue is that if the rumours about him being a locker room cancer are true, then he wouldn't have a lot of suitors. If there were many teams vying for him he would have gotten more money. If not for anything else, to not have a year on his resume with such a dip in salary. Much like Belichick, the market may not have been as crazy about him being available
