I don’t know if it’s CTE or mental illness, but AB’s head is not right.
His story is sad, more than anything else, to me.
Ryan Clark said he's always been this guy. He talked about AB blowing up on him and others in practice telling them they better not put a hand on him because he was the franchise. Clark said he warned them not to give AB a big contract because of the monster it would create. Pittsburgh did just that. Tomlin managed him and his behavior behind the scenes for quite a while, then they finally shipped him out. After that, he went into a complete free-fall. He kept it together long enough to poach a ring on Brady's coattails, but was soon last seen walking off the field with his shirt off when he quit mid-game. Thankfully, that trade fell through for us. It would have been the worst trade of all time and we'd still be going on about how stupid it was to this day.

Chase Claypool taking the early lead in the 25th annual "Buffalo Bills offseason darling wide receiver" series.
Like with Drew Hadaad, Da'Rick Rodgers, Naaman Roosevelt, and Andy Isabella before him, I'm predicting 75 catches for 1,100 yards and 10 TDs.It is a flier. But Claypool accomplished more in his first two seasons than all of them did/have in their entire careers COMBINED, and that's including both Duke Williams and Robert Foster in this mix with those you mentioned. His chances of amounting to something are more so than the rest. Just saying.

Can't say this comes as a shock. Sadly, I feel he will soon be a statistic. Better case scenario is he just fades into anonymity.

For what it's worth, Ray Davis had 12 receiving TDs in college to Cook's 6 (granted, Davis played an extra year).
Davis had 7 receiving TDs just last season, which was the most receiving touchdowns by an SEC running back in 25 years. Pretty impressive.
That's another reason I think Davis can eat into Cook's playing time and maybe seize the starting job from him: He's just as capable -- and arguably more so -- as a receiver.I think he could very well eat into Cook's playing time a little, but not much. Cook did have some terrible drops last year, three of which were walk-in TD's. I still think Cook is first man up given he had almost 1,600 total yards last year, with 1,122 of that coming on the ground.
Coleman - 50-70 catches for 700-900 yards.
Bishop - Depends on how quickly he picks up the defense, but the athletic traits and instincts are there.
Carter - Will immediately be in the rotation, but I don't expect much in year one.
Davis - Will immediately be a rotational guy, taking over the Murray snaps, and be a solid contributor.
Van-Ran Granger - I think he has a chance to push McGovern back to LG before the C experiment even starts.
Ulofoshio - Will make the team, but mainly be a ST guy or likely inactive on Sunday's
Solomon - Has a chance if he can show some juice in TC and the preseason, but most likely PS
Grable - Has the chance to be one of the backup OL'men this year, but is most likely PS bound
Hardy - I think Hardy makes the 53 as our primary returner and a backup NCB
The rest are cut outright, with maybe three or four being stashed on the PS.

I think that the Diggs move is addition by subtraction. His diva mentality and sideshow antics being gone will breathe new life into everyone else on the offense. That being said, it remains to be seen whether our WR group can get it done in his stead. I'm not going into the overall WR discussion again because I've already made my thoughts known. Hopefully Knox can get back on track and clean up the drops. Hopefully Kincaid takes a big step forward. Hopefully this forces Josh to rely on his checkdown options at RB more in Cook, Davis, and Johnson. Brady LIVED off of taking what the defense gave him for 20 years. Can Shakir turn into our "Amon-Ra Lite" with a heavier workload? Josh could have his best season ever if he takes what the defense gives him at all times. If he insists on forcing the ball downfield then he could run into turnover problems and give all of the bobbleheads more reason to say it was Diggs who made him. Hopefully we see the full maturation of JA17 this season and consistently takes what the defense gives him. If he does, then he will be pretty much unstoppable and it will be his best ever.

Mahomes has played 8 more games than Josh. Josh is accounting for more TD's per game by a small margin.

Let me ask you this IF Miami would entertain trade offers what do you think Miami could get for him ?
I don't know if anyone would trade for him. He's a brittle QB who has had multiple concussions. Two of those being quite scary imo. The next could be his last. Then he has meh arm strength. Which team is going to trade for that and then give him $175M gtd with an annual average of $50M? I don't think there's a market for him. If he would have been a FA, I think he gets a Baker Mayfield type of deal.

It sounds like 5 of the 6 WR's are pretty much decided. Coleman, Samuel, Shakir, Hollins, and MVS pretty much sound like locks from listening to Beane talk. To me, when talking about the draft, I think Beane and Co. were going to take one of either Legette or Coleman. They traded back with Carolina because they knew at least one of the two would be there. Our pick, obviously, was Coleman. They were good with that from all of their interactions and evaluations.
Beane sounds like he's still holding out hope that Von returns to the form we saw prior to the ACL. I'm not as optimistic. It also sounds like Epenesa may get his number called a bit more this year. I like Rousseau. The kid is a monster against the run and has positional flexibility. Still, idk if he's ever going to be that 12-15 sack type of DE. After that, a couple of JAGs in Toohill and Smoot. He mentioned Solomon, but then said they're not really sure if he'll contribute this year. As a whole, our DE group is a bit underwhelming.
When talking about Brady, you could pick up on what caused them to pull the plug on the Dorsey experiment. You could see it as well with Dorsey. He just didn't seem like that leader of men you look for in a coordinator. He also seemed to want to do things his way, and their was no adaptation. Brady seems to be more on Josh's level and can actually lead the offensive group. He also seems to be able to make adjustments on the fly. That's what I took from Beane's comments.
Beane is always a pretty good interview.

Maybe. I hope so. Some folks appear to be paralyzed in pain and anger because of a few ill advised comments by a football player.
Such is the world these days. Everyone is offended by everything. And if you offend someone, or a certain group of people, then the rest of the "mob" comes for you in one way or another. And there are "mobs" on all side.
I'm sure a lot of the things I say or believe offend a ton of people as well. I lived a crazy life as a teen and young adult. A lot of drinking, a lot of drugs, a lot of women, a lot of crazy situations where I very well could not have been here right now. Car wrecks, set up to be murdered (yes, I'm serious), being involved in witchcraft, and situations I avoided by what I thought was "gut instinct". By the grace of God alone I am here. Life is different now. My relationship with Jesus Christ changed everything. I understand what Butker is getting at with what he is saying. I know what the Bible teaches about all of these things being debated around here. I also know the grace that has been bestowed upon my own life. I know the wickedness I walked in and how much was washed away. Because of that, because I have been forgiven much, I love much. It doesn't mean the things I say or believe will not offend others, but it does mean that those same things are not meant as malicious in any way.

You mean like any good business ever? Cmon man, this is an entertainment business. Netflix has the reach of hundreds of millions of subscribers. It's not a random platform. This is good business. Just like the international exposure to generate more interest worldwide. Long term, it's good for the NFL and indirectly benefits the Bills. People have to get over this stuff. I don't understand the pouting on this board over these kinds of things.
And if you would have read through the rest of the way, you would have seen my last response two above yours.

Oh good lord, does someone always need to whine about the realities of the entertainment industry? They're ALL in it to make money. This is like complaining about the sun rising and setting.
YOU HAVE A CHOICE. STOP WATCHING.
Oh good Lord, is there always going to be someone whining about something that someone else says about any and every topic?
We, me and my family, are blessed to be comfortable enough in this day and time to not have to worry about a $15-$17 subscription to a streaming channel. We have Netfilx, Prime, Hulu, and I'm thinking about ditching Xfinity for YouTube. That's not the case for everyone. Some of those people, who are not in the same place we are, do like and watch football. Corporate greed is cutting out some of that fanbase, whether you want to admit it or not.
You, too, have a choice. Whatever you choose is up to you.

Well, we know three of our WR's off top. Those are Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Curtis Samuel. Looking at the roster as a whole, and what we have done previously, I think we keep AT MOST 6 WR's on the active roster. That means all of these guys are battling for 3 spots.
Unless some unexpected guys REALLY impress, then I think one of those spots is almost a lock, with that lock being Hollins. I think he will be here come week one. Hollins fills that ST's role they look for and he has been productive at WR previously, albeit two years ago with the Raiders.
MVS is that tall, fast WR who they can run on those Fly and Deep Post patterns to stretch the field. Claypool fits that same mold and this is also where he was at his best with Pittsburgh. I think if we get the first and second year Claypool, then he beats out MVS for that spot. Claypool has also played some ST's as well, where MVS really has not. One of those guys makes the #5 WR on the roster. If they both show well in TC and the preseason? Then they could be WR #5 AND #6.
That leaves Cephus, Isabella, Shorter, Shavers, Hamler, Johnson, Thompson, and Keys all battling for one spot. This is assuming that we don't keep both Claypool and MVS. This is a pull a name from a hat situation. Isabella and Shorter have a leg up on the rest imo, and Shorter over Isabella if I had to guess.

Austin Rivers is auditioning for the role of Stephen A. with an intact hairline. Complete 🤡. Tony Gonzalez did play football at Cal. Antonio Gates is the exception. Mo Allie Cox is meh. Julius Peppers probably could have played either sport, but chose football. Randy Moss could have possibly played basketball as well. I'm sure there are numerous guys who could have played either sport.
