Whether he Could do it or not is irrelevant, its too late. Why change positions at this point of his career when hes finalky worked his ass off to become a servicable WR? It would take years before he could become a decent CB, so again, why switch?
!
QB and chemistry!!!??? Who would have thought it. And all this time the Bills were just focusing on chemisty. Hopefully now that they know the importance of the QB position it will mark a change at One Bills Drive
Spiller will be much better on another team. Not because he'll actually be better but we will just get to see the highlights of him in the open field and not have to suffer through all the 0-2 yd runs. Everytime he has a highlight run someone will start a thread, "what were the Bills thinking? We could have had Kiko AND Spiller!"
I would have liked to see them actually upgrade it before releasing Chandler. What happens if Clay signs with Cleveland or Miami matches the Bills offer?
Guy has had two ACL injuries and he's only been in the NFL a year. What makes you think his knees will hold up and what makes you think those injuries won't negate his greatest attribute - his sideline to sideline speed.
I agree with you that he could end up being an all time great but with his injury history I'm skeptical. And the Bills don't have to "win" this trade anyway, they just needed to make a move that would improve their overall team, and I think they did.
I don't think that's too far off the mark. Where is he more likely to cause problems, with Brady leading the O in NE or with Cassell/EJ throwing him the ball in Buffalo (where he'd be behind Watkins on the depth chart.) All landing spots are not created equal. If Harvin could prosper anywhere it's in the short passing attack of NE led by a future HoF QB.
The problem is is his talent has never lead to consistent results - likely because of his ego (and his injuries...) When a guy can't reach his full potential and is a known cancer I'm not sure that talk of his talent is really that relevant. He's a player that everybody drools over because of his athletic ability but he never pans out because of his attitude. If his production warranted it teams would overlook his bad attitude, yet here we are and 3 teams have cut bait on the guy.
Yet there is always a team/coach who thinks they can "turn it around." I hope it's not the Bills because his production doesn't warrant the headaches.
We were discussing the type of teams that can win in the modern NFL, not the merrits of particular QBs. Its funny that you advocate a more agressive approach and then turn around and say that even teams with better QBs than the Bills play conservative schemes. Well, if thats the case, why would you want the Bills to be on the cutting edge with an aggressive passing attack?
Disagree with just about all of this (except for the clay and guard part.) Harvin isnt versitile, he is very limited in what hes able to do and was upset when Seattle didnt use him as a complete WR. Also, if I were to round out this WR group it would be with a bugger red zone target, not a gadget player. Even if the Bills land Clay they could still use another big target (and Clay isnt that big...)
Yeah, I wasnt talking about Hogan. Harvin is like Watkins but without the class, dedication, size, route tree and youth. If the Bills want to start running bubble screens feed Watkins the ball and forget about Harvin.
Not even sure why the Bills would want him. He is most effective on bubble screens and crossing patterns. Im pretty sure the Bills already have a guy who can do that...and do it very well.
I dont understand why they wouldnt pursue him when they could have him and still have room for Clay, a G and then still have room to re-sign their own upcoming FAs to top tier contracts all by cutting a few backups.
Pegula is cheap.
