  1. But wasn't Hardy paid for all of the games he missed last year?

    Yes he was paid, but he still did not play. Time in the NFL is a precious commodity. Unlike the rest of us the NFL career is very short, so the time missed is important. I think that time off has to be a factor in the punishment. I would be OK with the NFL if they fine the player the appropriate games after they missed most or all of the season like AP and Hardy. To me 10 games on top of the 15 games last year (with pay) was just excessive.

  2.  

    Which QB do you think we should have been obtained, and are they a guarantee to be successful?

    This is a real important point because we can use hindsight to get a clear picture. There have been zero Free Agent QB's that would have been the franchise QB. So in the last 3 years of all the QB's that the Bills could have drafted who would be that franchise QB?

  3. A HC's job is to win now. A GM's job is to win now and plan to win later.

     

    It's important to get value as often as possible, particularly for GM's who need to look down the road a few years. And sometimes what's good today won't be good tomorrow.

     

    I get why they've signed guys like Mario, Clay to an offer sheet, and traded for Watkins. From a value perspective they weren't/aren't the best moves for the long term. It's also easier to correct mistakes in the NFL by cutting players, which happens frequently. That is, if the contracts aren't too burdensome in the future.

    I read something a while back after Seattle traded for Jimmy Graham that included 2015 first round pick. Seattle basically said that there are only 16 players graded as round 1 talent. Go back to the 2014 draft when we make the Watkins trade Whaley could have had an early indication that the 2015 draft would not have a good amount of round 1 talent and if we made the playoffs we would not give up that much. Now that we are closer and Seattle thinks only 16 first round talent and we would have drafted 19, this seems like a good risk reward trade. That is your point here, the GM has to look at that.
