GETTOTHE50 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Our future is bright, and that is what matters most. We are going to be a high-octane running team, and we picked up Boldin for a reason. the bolding signing makes a ton of sense now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) What are you talking about? Both of these guys were #1 on their respective teams... You are saying their #1 first stringers are '1 year borderline scrub rentals'? o.O Yes. They are both FAs after next year. Darby > Gaines Watkins makes Matthews look like a scrub. This is what I mean. Its all about the draft picks. They are gonna get a QB this draft. I get the moves. I dont like losing Darby for Gaines tho.

ExWNYer Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Except we traded a game changing WR for a scrub. I didn't say I was happy with it. They're acquiring ammo for a top QB prospect next year, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Bills 2018 1st first round pick should be top 10, 2nd 1st round pick be in the top 20. Bills 2018 1st 2nd round pick should be in the top 5 and 2nd second round pick be in the top 10. Bills 2018 1st 3rd round pick be in the top 10 and 2nd second round pick be in the top 20. CAN WE PLEASE GET A DAMN FRANCHISE QB! If the jets are at # 1 they are not trading out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Darby can play. Matthews isn't good. Let me ask you this: which organization is consistently better, Buffalo or Philly? I think we both know the answer to that.One word: Chip Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The Bills now have no outside deep receiving threat, and they have a qb who specializes in the long ball. One word: Chip Kelly. that was a three year blip, and he at least had 2 winning seasons. I'm talking over this millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanOverChin Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm in shock because I had high hopes for both Watkins and Darby. Obviously Beane/McD are not enamored with Watkins (his work ethic & his injury history). These moves were all about the 2018 draft picks. Beane's vision is all about building the Bills through the draft. The draft picks give Beane the wherewithal to build the team HIS way. You can bet that he's looking to obtain even more draft picks via compensatory picks if he's willing to do this. He could obtain a R3 and R4 for losing Gilmore and Woods. If that happens the Bills could have the following picks for the 2018 Draft: R1/R1/R2/R2/R3/R3/R3/R4/R4/R5/R6/R7 (12 picks 7 in the first three rounds). Remember how the J. Johnson-led Cowboys turned around their franchise by trading H. Walker for a boatload of picks and players. Those picks netted them HOFs T. Aikman/E. Smith/M. Irvin and ultimately the SB.

Watkins101 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm just saying, but if Rex/Whaley were to do this, we would have known long ago that this was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking over this millennium. They have made numerous wise decisions and numerous bad ones for quite some time. Far better than Bills though. I hate these trades. Although if you trade Sammy you need a decent starter. Matthews is a decent starter. I feel bad for Kyle and Shady and Tyrod though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Different regime. The one in place now is good - and better than the one the Bills have. Jordan Matthews is a semi-rich man's David Nelson. He is not good, but as I say above, someone has to catch the passes, and since Nelson Aguilar can't catch, Matthews is the beneficiary by default. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-jordan-matthews-knee-issue-may-be-more-than-tendinitis Yikes , hope trade is based on him passing a physical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGBillsFan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 To me looks like McD likes Seymour/Gaines more than Darby....maybe Darby not a fit in the new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
