YoloinOhio Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I typically like Barnwell's stuff, but he lost me when he said "Wouldn't you rather have Forsett and Alonso than McCoy and a hole at linebacker?" no research on the Bills personnel. Surprising, he must have thrown that together quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 To the "RB are a dime a dozen" crowd, a more accurate analogy would be, "Here are a couple dozen RBs to choose from. You have one dime to spend. Who do you pick?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 no research on the Bills personnel. Surprising, he must have thrown that together quickly. Right before it he said the Bills are deep at linebacker with Brown and Bradham and mentioned the David Harris connection. Sometimes I really wonder if Simmons ghost writes some of his stuff or if he's just pandering to impress the boss. A comment like that is classic Simmons, present a strawman argument to try to prove your point while ignoring the point you've decided against.

dave mcbride Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 This is a reverse side of a typical Bills trade where they give up on a RB with some mileage left. Bills had a far bigger hole at RB than they did at LB. There's better bang for the buck for possible replacements at LB in free agency than at RB, especially when CJ Spiller is the headliner of the group. While Kiko is clearly better than Bradham & Brown, he wasn't a magnitude better to what McCoy brings to the RB position. Fair points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 With the addition of Shady, and already having Watkins, Woods, and Goodwin, as well as the kind of coach Roman is, the Bills will be looking for the guy that is the best play action ball handler who can through accurately downfield. EJ is a great ball handler already but his accuracy downfield is erratic, although pretty good in college and he has a strong arm. Hoyer is pretty good with the ball but not a great arm. Not sure how good Locker is with the ball and he's inaccurate but strong arm. Moore is good with the ball and decent downfield. He's still the best bet IMO. This helps EJ out a lot though.

My prediction: they're going to draft a QB early. There's a reason they met with every qb who is going to be plausibly available. I have to think that Rex knows that the QB situation sunk him before, and he needs to deal with it from the get go. I'll definitely be surprised if EJ isn't on the roster come September, but I can't say I'll be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think the saying means that you can a dozen for a dime. It does but it's stupid. The more accurate way is you can get one cheap, for a dime, but they mostly suck and you have to pick the right one out of dozens for that to work. And most fail. That's why I changed it.

That's why they met with them all but two. They don't know who is going to be available at QB when they draft or who else at other important positions. They know EJ is shaky, they know they will sign a vet, and they know Tuel sucks so they will draft a guy to be the project and maybe starter. They are not going to draft a QB in round two and start him opening day. Especially in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 You do realize Greg Roman is the OC -- widely considered a run game genius?

He's had more success than Chip in the NFL running offenses. But yes he is not on their level. He is, however, pretty highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
