TheElectricCompany Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) darby is more confusing to me than watkins. i at least understand the logic behind trading watkins. Tre & Darby as your up and coming corners is something solid to build on. Inconsistent in the past two years, but the talent is there and only 23. Who the hell is EJ Gaines?

TOboy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I wonder how the vets feel about these moves? A guy like Kyle who was talked into coming back this season. Or a guy like Boldin, after all the talk about him being brought in to mentor Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickrage Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wow. This just seems like Beane and McDermott are cutting all ties with Whaleys moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If Shady gets traded then I'll believe we are tanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a guy like Boldin, after all the talk about him being brought in to mentor Sammy. If the Bills had any class they'd cut Kyle Williams and let him latch on with a playoff team. These trades, and our clear intent to rebuild through the draft make it pretty clear this team isn't going to compete for another few years while they search for and groom a young QB.

CommonCents Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Watkins and Darby trades were made to appease Kim Jung and save Guam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrober38 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If Shady gets traded then I'll believe we are tanking. If the Bills were smart they'd trade McCoy and get some compensation and get out from that contract. This team is no longer built to compete this year, so we might as well cash in on McCoy.

Bray Wyatt Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I really look at this/these trades as an even make out based on last year, but we gained picks. Im warming up to the idea although I really liked Sammy, Darby not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 We traded 1k wr for another 1k wr and traded a db and got s db. Plus we got High picks. I think this season didn't change too much but long term could be amazing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im warming up to the idea although I really liked Sammy, Darby not so much Perhaps, but Sammy has the potential to be a BIG TIME player in this league. He may never pan out, but his ceiling is much higher than Mathews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 very very poor return for Sammy Watkinsi agree but they aren't getting a first for him with being on last year of his contract. Now if they had picked up that option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan692 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 We picked up a #1 caliber CB and a #1 caliber WR, we also picked up an extra 2nd and extra 3rd round draft pick. I think this is smart IMO. Chances are we are not going to have a legendary championship season, so hanging it all on Watkins and Darby is stupid. As McDermott has been saying -- build for short term and long term -- I honestly think this does not have a huge impact on us short term and it has tremendous upside long term.

DDD Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The tank is in. It's the right move. The team is not close to being a legit playoff team and next year's draft looks to be very good for trying to get a franchise QB. Good move by our new GM.

Magox Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Would not surprise me if he got those targets yesterday BECAUSE he was being traded. That would suggest that Tyrod was in on it. So I find that to be highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) We drafted CB in the 1st this year, and got a 3rd for a guy in Darby whose play fell off last year. I think it makes sense. i still think darby can be fantastic. your logic is certainly right, and i'm sure that was the reasoning. i guess it's all about picks at this point.

Bray Wyatt Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Perhaps, but Sammy has the potential to be a BIG TIME player in this league. He may never pan out, but his ceiling is much higher than Mathews. I agree, but at this point with his injury history and the offense we run I don't think it impacts us all that much this year. That's why I said I am bummed about Sammy but I get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
