Augie Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 My boy J-Mac would rather play with Flacco. True or false? Saying he chose the QB is silly. It could be a thousand things. The city, the coaches, his wife has family there..... but at the top of the list would be the contract term$. Unless you have clear info on both offers, just stop!

JM2009 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Actions speak louder than words. Yeah, he went to Baltimore where his wife is from and took the better contract for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Apparently Maclin would also rather play with Wentz. What has he done? Â The wife made the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Buffalo, Houston, KC, Rams, Minn, Chicago, Washington if they got rid of Cousins. They clearly aren't the same. The WR picked the better QB for him. Clear as day. You said it yourself. Â Ignoring the Buffalo debate... Â Houston - just drafted Watson KC - just traded up to draft Mahomes Rams - just traded up to draft Goff MIN - Bradford > Flacco CHI - Agreed WSH - They still have Cousins (but if he left, agreed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPT Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Either way, the base assumption of that "article" was clearly flawed, and if you agree with it, your opinion is equally flawed. The fact that you referenced that article when you thought it supported your argument and then called it "flawed" when you realized your mistake really says everything about your ability to have a rational conversation about the matter. Â Speculation based on facts aren't facts. Never said they were. Deflecting is a pathetic tactic. Â Lots of learning is being had today. This is good. Funny. You don't seem to have learned a thing.

JM2009 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Maybe the Shady association didn't help? haha I thought of that too. Maybe McCoy should just stick to playing football, not recruiting. Or do it more quietly, if he is going to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 His decision was probably based on what nearly all NFL decisions between teams are based on, money, with nearly everything else important but less so than money. Â QB job safety and efficiency likely play into it, as does the situation in which the QB had that kind of efficiency. Tyrod's been in a much better offensive situation than Flacco has for the last two years, with an excellent run game and a good OL compared to Baltimore's. Â Baltimore has a better, more proven program. Better coach (from what we know so far), better owner (from what we know so far), better defensive-based system (from what we know so far). The Bills have a way to go, obviously, as they're starting new schemes on both sides of the ball and have a new coach, a new GM, etc. Â The only stable thing in the Bills recent past is their instability. The Ravens have been a stable good program for a long time. Â But these decisions generally consider factors like these but are mostly based on money, guarantees, signing bonuses, back-loaded vs. front-loaded, average yearly salary, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Ravens had just $5.6M in cap room and didn't make any moves before signing him, so the Bills had a lot more money to offer. And Philly doesn't have what Baltimore has.

mead107 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 God, I hope this makes 300 pages before it is locked. Should hit 300 in 4-5 days. Best part is he still will not be a Bill and he is going to get free crab cakes for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8billsfan Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Well McCoy's comment on "drafting vets daily" on his IG story is far from true. Maclin you're a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 My analysis on why we didn't sign Maclin: Â 1) He was just about to put pen to paper last Thursday night when Russ Brandon interrupted the meeting and said Jeremy had a call. Â 2) They were waiting for the final contract from the attorney but the fax machine at OBD was broke. Â Either way, now that we lost Maclin to the Ravens, I'm pretty sure we get a few more comp picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
