San-O Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think the simple truth is to keep players in Buffalo you have to overpay. Sucks but the truth of the modern day NFL. He's in the 2nd year of a very large contract $, and can't make it through the first game or two of the season: he's always had some sort of health issues it seems regardless of money.

RyanC883 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I say sit both him and Dareus (if he is in fact hurt) the next two games, get these guys healed up through the bye, Atl is going to be tough and is a non conference game as it is so why play someone whos hurt? I think we can beat Cincy without these two so let them heal up this sounds like a smart move to me. Come out of the buy with two of your best players coming back. Just make sure Dareus doesn't do anything stupid while "away". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 So your only argument is running to PFF grades? Your talent evaluation is worse than your avatar Cordy got NO WHERE NEAR 100 million... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 That's the truth of the franchise's current state. It's not true in Green Bay or Pittsburgh. If they start winning, players will come. Hey: We got Anquan Boldin didn't we? But in any era, not just the "modern era," players would rather be in Miami than Buffalo. You'll never get over that. I don't know. The fan base in Miami is blah. I think people would rather play in Green Bay or Pittsburgh or Buffalo. You can live in Miami in the off-season.

LABILLBACKER Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I never said Cordy got 100M. He can make up to 66M with guarantee and incentives. He's had injury issues just like Sammy. That a very lucrative deal for an injury plagued player. Like I said I'd rather invest that kind of money on a franchise QB than lesser positions.

I think we can beat Cincy without these two so let them heal up The NFL is a battle of attrition, I know fans and even coaches think week to week and want their best players out there as soon as possible. But I always think it is better to sit a player out a week or two longer than needed than to rush them back a week or two earlier and make an injury worse. It's much better to let an injury heal to as close as 100% for an extra 2-3 weeks than to push a player out there too soon and they make the injury worse and are out 5-8 more weeks.

That a very lucrative deal for an injury plagued player. Like I said I'd rather invest that kind of money on a franchise QB than lesser positions. There are no franchise QB's you can invest that money into in this context. Any QB worth a big contract almost never becomes a free agent. In the past 15 years a franchise changing QB has become a free agent 2 times, one was Drew Brees and the other was Peyton Manning at the age of 37 coming off of a serious neck injury. It's not like the Bills choose to give Dareus and Glenn big contracts over giving that money to a QB. Of course you want a QB worth (And keyword is worth) 100 million but those are typically players you resign not players that become free agents. Every team is willing to hand out a 100 million contract with huge guarantees to a franchise QB. But you have to find one first and you aren't finding one via free agency. So please refrain from painting the picture of these big Dareus and Glenn contracts were the reason the team couldn't sign a 100+ million dollar franchise changing QB. That's simply not the dynamic. If what you are saying is you would rather have a QB worth giving a big contract to as opposed to a DT or OT then all you are saying is something very obvious.

Lawson (groin) not practicing, game-time decision. #Bills Exactly, I think as a fan you have to hope that Dareus gets it in gear and plays like he did in 2014 when he was one of the most dominant interior d-linemen in the league. Dareus has the talent to anchor the middle of the defense for the next 3-5 years at a dominating level. For a guy you are committed to for this season and next season you want to get that high level of production out of him. The front 7 only has 1 other young player in it (Shaq) so you kind of want your 27 year old defensive tackle to be a dominant player to help anchor the defense for the future. As for Glenn I think it is a case of health, he seems to be well liked and buying into what the new staff is trying to implement. It's just getting him on the field and healthy. I say be extra cautious with his injury. Sit him out until after the bye week. Maybe an additional 3 weeks off gets him healthy. Now do I think Dareus will get it in gear? I am not sure. The rest of the veteran players seem to buy in and those who weren't were shipped out. Dareus seems to be the only one to be on the outside of that. So hopefully being that isolated in terms of attitude helps him buy into what the coach is doing. It might not happen and the team might just be stuck with an above average player production wise who is a bit of a malcontent.

It should mean that he's healthy, but not necessarily that he's ready to start. He's been out most of pre-season and season; he may not be ready to jump into a starting position and play a full game.
