2020 Our Year For Sure

The Saints are cap masters.

I don't think he showed heart, he was perennially afraid to throw the ball. Some QBs are gunslingers. Tyrod played the game scared. Avoiding turnovers was his #1 priority which is a lame way for a quarterback to approach the game. He had more than a jersey number in common with Trent Edwards. Ryan Fitzpatrick for example was gutsy and a vastly better quarterback. I remember Tyrod running out of bounds to take a sack for a loss rather than throwing it away because he was so hard-wired to scramble around and stay safe rather than just...throwing...the football. I know teammates liked him but he didn't seem to have much of a leadership presence or aura really.

Wow. Tyrod. First big error by Schoen and Daboll.

Ah but it wouldn't help us make a move until June.

Do you know the rules regarding post-Une 1 designation? Can you just designate whoever you want? So there's no reason to ever wait for June 1 in other words.

I remember him being a BEAST a few years ago. Dominant. I don't know that he's still that guy though.

I agree with most of this. But like you I wish the Bills were more aggressive about bringing in high impact players. It's as if they over-think it...be just a tad more like a kid playing Madden, go ahead and look to add top players. It helps. It makes a difference. The Chiefs, Rams and Bucs are always looking to add top talent So when I see Ed Oliver, the best D-lineman on the team, get a backup for 2y/9, that sticks in my craw

We're paying like 10-11m or whatever to some guy to play next to Oliver, right? Are you saying that is a piss poor contract and he's not a capable starter? Harry was a one-tech. Jones is his replacement at one-tech. Settle is an expensive backup. I would rather ditch Settle, McKenzie and Siran Neal and go after an elite talent who actually makes a difference.

4.5m for Oliver's backup saves money?

we're spending that money on a backup rather than maneuvering to land a Von Miller

No, Spain is the one out in space blocking nobody.

Where's the cap number? Get me the numbaz

This made me think of C-3PO

The exact reasons people said they didn't want Diggs.

Oh I like that

The Bills are far from the scheme that maximizes an individual player's impact. They take each of their DL players off the field 40-50% of snaps and the DEs have a lot of responsibility in run defense, and the latter being the reason we go for bigger bodies rather than speed edge rushers. If Odell Beckham were a free agent I imagine he would want to go somewhere he could catch 100 balls and re-establish himself as an elite player in the league. That seems to be where Jones is, wanting a 15+ sack season to prove himself. He hasn't had that in 3 years. I agree with you, doesn't seem likely based on these quotes. The Bills' sweet spot are the true ring-chasers, the guys thinking This is my shot at a chip.

He seemingly wants to maximize his sacks, Buffalo doesn't make sense given his mindset.

To me it reads like he wants to maximize his chances of getting a lot of sacks. Tbh not sure Buffalo would be the best fit that way.

Davonte Adams would be amazing

There is no link to click on. And the part about it being common is the opposite of sensationalizing.

It would be so cool if we signed Gronk. I'd be excited to see it. He and Josh would have some kind of dynamic. A couple crazy kids who love football. Total bromance in the making. I don't need to cling to excuses to preemptively hope it doesn't happen in case it doesn't happen. I hope the Bills get Gronk but if they don't I think I'll go on living.

Isn't there some excuse I can come up with to NOT want the Bills to add talent at an important position? I'll say anything. I'll downplay how good of a player he is, I'll pretend he has a destructive personality like that diva Stefon Diggs, I'll over-dramatize the loss of draft picks, I'll pretend our current players at the position are better than they are, something something salary cap...anything! I know the trade is unlikely to happen so I need to find a way to preemptively not want it to happen in the first place. The soothing of my worries is more important than the Bills winning championships.

Not interested. Hard pass. We don't need him.
