It will be both encouraging and funny if after all the bellyaching about the draft pick he turns out well.

All I take from that is your mirror is blind.

I bet you walk under ladders and own a black cat.

Maybe to you. Fella said he couldn't think of a reason to prefer Buffalo, I gave one. If you don't think it's plausible, that's your perogative.

If he wins the SB with Buffalo he gets a share in the credit. If he wins one with the Chiefs it is business as usual.

Frazier's passive approach works well against poor and middling qbs. It manifestly failed most of the time in the playoffs, though he does know how to stop Lamar.

Klein sounds like he would make a great coach down the line if he decides he wants to do that.

Dahlin did develop into a Norris candidate level defenseman. Tage Thompson surprised everyone and became a legit 1C. They have a lot of great young forwards, Cozens, Quinn, Peterka just to name a few, with three top picks from last year and one from the year before (Savoie, Ostlund, Kulich, and Rosen that all appear to be progressing well) along with Owen Power, Mattias Samuelsson and Dahlin that form the young core of a top 4D. Devon Levi is very young, but looks promising as a potential NHL goalie. They need blueline depth and a vet goalie to pair with Levi, but the team is set to be good for a decade if they play it right.

Let's hope Dorsey remembers about the superior pass catching rb during the game.

It's been a long twelve years, but the Sabres are about to be good. They are stacked with young talent. Kevyn Adams needs to make a few astute trades and FA signings to improve blueline depth and a veteran goalie to pair with Levi would be best, but I expect playoffs next year. I've got your interlocutor on ignore. He's only here to stir the pot.

I'm not convinced that Davis can do well on the short and intermediate routes, so his best usage is rather exclusively the long ball. It's true that inadequacies on the oline affected him perhaps more than other receivers. He doesn't have to be WR2 to run the deep routes, however.

And Andy Reid calling plays.

He does well once he gets going. He's not that good with short and intermediate routes -- but he also has drops when he is wide open.

I think he's a low end 2. I know you and Shaw and various others judge differently. At best, he is adequate and I don't think he's consistent enough to merit that ascription. He would thrive as a third option who catches the long ball.

Get over yourself. You are posting in a Buffalo forum as an enthusiast for a team many Sabres' fans dislike. The Knights never trailed in the series, so your persistent effort to make the Vegas hockey team a center of discussion was always in the context of a less than favored franchise that was in an advantageous position. If you think to call that out is dishonest, I suggest you are not thinking well enough.

I believe Kincaid is going to be very good. If this was his second year, I think one could anticipate he might emerge as a second threat the opposing D has to account for. But that's a lot to ask from a rookie, so Hopkins, while a risk, more than likely fulfills that role. On paper, it would be a very potent offensive roster that should open up the entire field and create uncertainty on the other side of the ball. Even without Hopkins, if Dorsey takes advantage of all the weapons, it should be a much more versatile offense. Hopkins just adds that degree of stress associated with a special talent with a habit of clutch plays. I am guessing veteran edge is plan B if Hopkins goes elsewhere.

Nonetheless, he's disappeared in quite a few playoff games. Adding Hopkins might help alter that because the defense won't be able to concentrate solely on Diggs.

You're sort of like a Chiefs fan who comes over here after his team wins the SB.

Man, you pulled out the paper boy card. Not sure I would deploy such a heavy credential just to silence critics.

The only thing more futile than arguing back-and-forth about possible futures with indeterminate variables is arguing over hypotheticals regarding a past that cannot be altered. You absolutely cannot prove a counterfactual. It's just your opinion.

Folks can point to cases of rapid decline and players that remained effective late into their careers. It's a risk. You don't like his character and think he is breaking down. Others think he is still a strong player and are willing to take a risk. Nothing anyone says is going to alter the nature of the situation which inherently has uncertainty involved.

I sure hope you're talking about his wallet.

If he ends up a Chief, I blame Brandon Beane . . . and the mods. We're already legitimately over 320 pages. Hopkins would already have signed with us, I mean, really.

If he is like most athletes who express a desire to pursue a ring, but choose the highest bidder when it comes right down to it, we are out. Either his enthusiasm for playing with Josh Allen was empty rhetoric or it isn't. Have to hope he is eccentric enough to prioritize winning and being part of something special over banking the most cash possible.

Yeah, but we're talking about teams with a shot at the SB
