But picking up the option allows them to use the franchise tag on someone else next year...Perhaps.
But it's really not necessary.
Difference between the option and franchising him is just a few million bucks against a massive amount of available cap space next year..............and that buys them a whole year to either extend Sammy long term while he is a year younger........or maybe just to decide if Sammy is going to heal or turn into a Bill Walton-like foot injury career disaster.
-
Absolutely, which is one reason I laugh when people say WR is a "dependent" position, and not worth a high draft pick unless you a so-called "franchise QB."I noticed that Tyrod had a lot more time later in the season once Watkins came back...that extra safety that defenses can't walk down into the box makes an enormous difference.
-
So says you. This entirely subjective opinion is certainly not supported by the players' comparative statistics, is it?Winston is a real QB you can build a team around. TT is just a guy that we are paying money to because McDermott coaches scared.
-
If you can't see how much more fun it would be to follow a team with a Winston or Mariotta as the QB of the team vs a Bills fan who has to spend months watching as his team "watches film" on his QB and asks him to take a paycut I don't know what to tell you.
You do realize that Tyrod Taylor's numbers as an NFL starter are at least as good as Jameis Winston's, right? (Taylor actually had a significantly higher QB rating than Winston in both 2015 and 2016 and that's not even taking into consideration Taylor's contribution in the running game.) People are in love with Winston because of his potential (and rightly so), but both he and Taylor have approximately the same number of NFL starts. So why can't you "have fun" following a team with Tyrod Taylor at QB?

So EJ would now be a franchise QB if only he had sat behind Kevin Kolb his rookie year? You'll never convince anyone of that.Ej Manuel.
-
Name one.There are a ton of young qbs who are ruined because they play too early, struggle, & then get tossed aside. .
Yeah, the NFL is really struggling, isn't it? No one watches any more...4) the NFL badly needs a minor league.

Even during the Bills' Super Bowl years, when the Pats were lousy, they were a tough out for the Bills. I was at Foxborough to watch Kelly and Co. lose to a crummy Pats team in 1992 (IIRC).Bledsoe years were good for the Pats, they had a few other pockets of very good seasons as well.

Interesting...no Hooker, Adams or Peppersok, our Top 5 on our board: In order
1. Solomon Thomas- DE Stanford
2. Corey Davis- WR W. Mich
3. Marshon Lattimore- CB OS
4. OJ Howard - TE Bama
5. John Ross- WR Wash

Do you believe Tasker? This draft is far more loaded than last year and Cardale went at the end of the 4th. What has he done other than spend a year in Buffalo with David Lee?
EJ got WORSE after 4 years of Bills coaching!
I don't necessarily agree with Tasker, but I don't agree with you that this draft is far more loaded at QB than last year. To me, they look about the same, with maybe a bit more depth this year. I don't see that Cardale has done much to help his stock since he was drafted a year ago, but I don't think he's hurt it either. I'm not sure what the Bills' coaching staff or FO think of Cardale, or what the buzz is about him around the league. The point is, he's not going get cut unless he really looks awful. I think folks who want the Bills to use a high pick on a QB this year are going to be disappointed. In fact, I won't be surprised if they don't draft any QB this year.
-
But many here say Cardale is a bust and will be a training camp cut.On the John Murphy show 1/2 hour ago, Tasker said that Cardale would likely go in the second round in this draft if he were in it this year. They mentioned he would be right behind Trubisky in terms of Qb rankings. They didn't mention where Trubisky was in those rankings compared to Watson, Mahommes and Kizer though.
-
Around here we call them busts after playing the 4th quarter of game 17, with an interim HC in his 1st game
True. One "fan" has already labeled Cardale a failure because has not progressed as rapidly as his "contemporaries" (i.e., Russell Wilson, Kurt Cousins, etc) and someone else said he obviously sucks because he didn't start his rookie year. Until a guy gets a meaningful opportunity to play, you don't know what he can do. We are now going into year three of Tyrod Taylor and the team is still not sure what they've got. (I know many will argue that point.) That's why "drafting a QB every year" is a bad idea.
-
Oh.Shaq, Ragland, Seymour, possibly washington will be starters this year.
-
That's funny, I count zero starters from last year's draft. At least so far.and if they can come away with 3/4 starters like they did last year fan should be extremely happy
-
I wasn't picking on him--I actually agree with his CJ ranking. And obviously, he wasn't the only one not sold on Dak.As I said, I like Waldman not because I want his ratings, but I do like the way he presents what he is doing. It's a more transparent process and makes any of his draft prospect breakdowns worthwhile.
-
Last year Waldman had Cardale Jones as his second rated QB, behind Goff and ahead of Wentz. Had Dak as 19th-rated QB.If you actually want a guy that is honest and shows his work, Matt Waldman. He actually describes in exact detail what he is judging. He spends time learning what the QB is supposed to do on a play so he can evaluate what he is seeing. For example, I have seen other writers do things like post a clip of a college QB throwing an INT with no context. No mention that the QB is down more than 2 scores in the 4th quarter and has less than 30 seconds on the clock. Common sense and context matter. I like people who use those things and not guys talking about CFL scrubs like Vernon Adams "lingering" on reads or ballet dancing and Kizer.
The best part about Waldman is there is nuance. You can go through his notes or watch a one hour video of plays he is showing and feel like you are in control. It's the difference between reading a record review and listening to the thing yourself with notes from someone else.

Was just looking at a "fifth year option ticker" for the 2014 draft class. It really was a very strong first round draft class--except for Cleveland.@adamschefter
Cowboys officially have picked up 5th-year option for star guard Zack Martin, per @FieldYates.
-
Maybe, but in that case, why not trade up to nine, with Cinci?If Trubisky is there at 10 , someone will make a very good trade down offer , I'm thinking the Browns
-
That's silly. Cardale was drafted in the 4th round by a team with an established starter and a former no 1 pick as a back up. He was never expected to play, much less start, last year and he was never given a chance to do so. We really don't know what the new coaching staff thinks of him. We'll find out more this year.My problem with this is: If Cardale was able to transition to the NFL, he would have already got his shot. Right now he hasn't progressed fast enough to give the Bills a confidence that he will be their future QB. The Bills can't wait and watch but pick another QB and continue the competition.
And BTW, I'm fine with the Bills drafting another QB this year, but not with their no 1 pick.
-
And I will join you, but it would not surprise me. Whaley appears incapable of being patient and simply letting the draft come to him.If we move into the top 5 to take one of these QBs I'm going to be physically ill.
-
Amari Cooper couldn't carry Watkins equipment.
Look, I think picking up the fifth year option on Sammy is a no-brainer, but I really don't think this is a statement many people in the NFL would agree with; it's certainly not supported by the respective numbers they've put up. And DeAndre Hopkins has put up better numbers than Sammy has, with some truly abysmal QBs throwing him the ball.
-
What information is that? Enlighten me. That he was benched by Urban Meyer (aka, the Quarterback Wisperer), when he was in college?It's more like your ignoring all the information out that he isn't going to be any better then he is. He is a huge long shot to even become a backup QB in this league.
-
While ignoring all the information that suggests he's worth trying to develop.I'm not swearing Cardale is headed for the HOF, but some people have made their minds up based on zero information.
-
Amari Cooper, possibly Dez Bryant, possibly Hopkins.Julio, Brown, AJ Green, maybe OBJ, maybe Nelson, maybe Evans? Am I missing someone?
-
What is the basis for this statement? The one quarter of football he played in the game that Buffalo was trying to lose? Are you serious? And who are these "recent contemporaries" who have progressed faster than Cardale has?Cardale progressed so slowly as opposed to his recent contemporaries that it almost pulls up a red flag about his status as a future QB in the NFL.
