    I will cut Beane a lot of slack if there is more to this plan. Kincaid makes a million times more sense if we end up landing Hopkins.

    Hopkins

    That grouping would make so much more sense rather than a

    I'm sure Beane will be very relieved to know that one of the most annoying instigators on TBD is willing to cut him some slack under your conditions!  Now he can sleep again.

    Trent Williams is a better athlete than Dawkins.   And their body types certainly aren't exact despite your attempt to flatter Dawkins.   Williams has the extra weight because he needs the extra weight to play the position.    Dawkins is just a really fat dude who happens to be a good athlete.    He has come into camp in horrible shape in recent seasons.   He's been a good enough athlete to hold it down to this point but I'll eat my hat if he's still a LT seven years from now like the 34 year old Williams. 

    No where did I claim that they had the "exact" same body.  (Similar does not mean the same thing as exact).  I am simply showing an example of an elite LT that is also a fat dude.  

     

    *Trent Williams : Height 6'5", Weight 320       Dion Dawkins : Height 6'5" , Weight 320

    This board is getting pretty sour about anything Bills related, not just Josh.  I got to admit it's getting harder to come on here and

    unfortunately, I think it's only going to get worse.

    If the team and player names were blacked out, and you came to this forum, you would think it was the Texans or Bears forum. It is getting truly ridiculous. We all want to see the team win a SB, but the doom and gloom BS is out of hand.

    Also worth noting.....NEVER has a coach / QB combo that had been together more than 5 years, ever won the Super Bowl.  

     

    If McDermott and Allen were to win one at this point, it would be the first time a QB/Coach pairing that had been together 6 years or more, won it all.

    I took another listen to the Brandon Beane interviews after the season and at the combine.  What stuck out to me was his defense of players than were much maligned by the fan base.  
     

    In my opinion, the three of his former draft picks who didn’t “take the next step” in 2022, are being counted on to “take the next step” in 2023.  
     

    This season will prove to see if The Bills faith in these players will be rewarded. 
     

    Spencer Brown

    Brown was the Bills worst lineman at times in 2022 which is notable considering how poorly Roger Saffold played.  
     

    Still, Beane was effusive in his praise and defense of Brown.  He point blank said he had confidence in him and listed some reason for his poor performance in 2022.
     


    These comments make me think that the Bills won’t invest a high draft pick at tackle and will again roll the dice that Brown greatly improves.  


    Gabe Davis

    Like Brown, Beane was quick to defend Gabe citing “unrealistic expectations” from his amazing playoff performance and a numbers of injuries. 

     

    Losing faith in Davis as a true WR2, many fans wanted the Bills to make a big move.  Some foolish fans convinced themselves to believe the lying huckster on Twitter “ErieCountyBills” who said they were trading for DeAndre Hopkins.  All false hope.

     

    It’s doubtful the Bills make a huge move at WR like OBJ or Hopkins given the context,    Because Davis is a FA in 2024 I can see a scenario where they draft a WR in the first 3 rounds.  But again, when it comes to WR2 in 2023, the Bills are putting their faith in Davis to improve yet again.  
     

    Ed Oliver

    Same story with Ed Oliver.   Nice player.  Not a difference maker unless he plays against a BAD offensive line…or on Thanksgiving.  

     

    Beane again defended Oliver mentioning how the things he does go unnoticed and that he fought through injuries.  He did mention that he left “more meat on the bone.”  But Beane could have said this during any of Oliver’s seasons in Buffalo.  
     

    Because of his guaranteed 5th year option, The Bills likely didn’t have a choice but to have faith in Oliver.  But I can definitely see the Bills use a higher draft selection on a DT given the contract situation.  
     

    The concern for me, is that we’ve seen the Bills make similar excuses for players in the past and it hasn’t worked out (Star, Cody Ford, Zach Moss, AJ Epinesa, Boogie Basham).  IMO a big part of next season will be whether the faith the Bills placed in these former draft picks will pay off…

    I wish we had a GM that trashed our current starting players and called them out to the media!  I mean, who wants to work for a guy that defends his employees and talks about their potential for improvement.  If only he knew as much about being a good GM as the doom and gloom fans and TBD posters

    Seems stupid to bet on an oft-injured player to stay healthy.  However, this is what this regime does.  They struggle to find hidden gems, so they just go back to the same wells over and over again.  

    Hopefully we will someday have a regime that consistently wins the division, gets double digit wins, makes the playoffs every year, and assembles rosters that place them as superbowl favorites...

     

    *Of course the ultimate goal is to win the superbowl and until that happens, there is room for improvement on the roster.  But the level of criticism and disdain this regime gets from some posters is laughable.

    Damn, who is going to be his "stop moving your legs before contact, 1 yard loss" replacement?

     

    Happy with this, but watch him turn into Barry Sanders now

    He averaged 4.6 yards per carry over the last 2 seasons.

    I agree with you, thats just absolutely not true.  He wasn't even the worst running back on the team last year!!! That would probably fall to Zack Moss.

     

    Mike tolbert... 

    Frank Gore....

    Reggie Bush...

    Tashard Choice....

    Chris Ivory....

    Bryce Brown...

     

    We can do this all day. 

     

    Comparing his numbers to CJ spiller... Spiller gained more yards 3321 to 3151, but had fewer TDs 12 to 16.  Also spiller fumbled 17 times to singletarys 13.  

     

     

    Reggie Bush had -.3 YPA for the Bills in 2016.  I'm pretty sure that broke a record.
