In other news Les Snead is going to get flamed so hard for jumping at every trade offer and wasting future assets that the Rams will need when paydays come.

 

 

 

The Rams need to sell PSL's and season tickets for their new fancy stadium.  They need to WIN NOW to generate maximum interest.  They do not care about the hole they dig 3 years from now.

Wait, I thought Sammy drew double coverage every play?

 

Full disclosure.  I am a Chiefs fan....and I am not completely sure that signing Sammy Watkins for 16 mil per was a good use of funds...but having looked over the film from last season in LA......frankly, McVay did a GREAT job of scheming folks open to help out Goff.  The more I watch the film. the worse Goff looked.  He either can't or hasn't developed enough (probalby can't) throw a good NFL deep pass.  If they use Cooks the same way the tried to use Watson, I don't think Cooks is going to look very good there.  Shorter routes are what Goff did well last year executing the offense.

They are NOT grabbing a QB this year.  People forget they dumped a "sure thing" in Garapolo for a 2nd. IF they wanted to retool they would have kept him and still made the trades to surround him with future talent.

 

......They didn't "Dump" Garrapolo.  His contract was about to expire.  The patriots were not going to franchise tag him.  Their options were to let him go and get a 3rd round compensatory pick. trade him for something better than that, or try and sign him long term...wich he was surely not going to do there as he understood his market.  I would agree the Pats could have gotten more than a 2 for him, but they weren't going to keep him unless Brady retired.

Not quite Bills level bad but..

Difference is QB, Brady made big eyes Caldwell look like a good WR.  Edelman is good, as is Mitchell, Hogan is a very good 2 and with Gronk a third or fourth option after the White (or any RB) as well.

 Umm yeah...  So the figurative definition of "dumped. " Getting rid of someone before you have to in order to get something out of it that you could have obtained better if the timing was right.

I forgot about Danny Shelton.  However,  my original point that was a response to how the Pats* will draft up and grab a premium pick.  Context does matter.  I will say I again...  I can't see anyone in the top 4 even allowing the Pats* to get a sniff at their pick.  Finally,  Pats* aquiring picks doesn't really concern me...  Ole' Billy boy is a masterful coach but a lousy drafter.

 

PS here is the post I was referring to:


I will not be happy if the Pats pick ahead of us. If they get to #7 or #4, they could move to #2.

 

So yeah..  It WAS what I was referring to

Ahh ok but if they did moved to 7 IMO it isn’t for QB but for Chubb or a stud on D so it wouldn’t effect the Bills either way.  Because BB knows a great D can win a championship with an average QB and he can coach up any QB to average when Brady finally retires.

Why would the Giants want an oft injured Gronk when they just spent a first rounder on Engram last year?

Why would they not want to keep the best WR in the game happy?

who knows?

 The Pats* have been a juggernaut because of the GOAT and he makes any receiver look phenomenal. The difference for the Pats* superiority is certainly Brady (and toss in Belichick)

Well, this is an interesting point. You say they're good, but the difference is the QB. So, lets say the same exact WR corps was with Tyrod or Brissett, would they still be good?

This is exactly what I think will happen OR a stud LB

Edelman yes, Mitchell it’s onky be year 2 so I don’t know, Hogan sucked with Taylor and Brisett  since he throws a nice deep ball so he be average with him. Of course Gronk be Gronk still, as for the RB again I don’t know and the Pats did go 1-1 with Brisett and god knows if it could have been 2-0 if he had been healthy for the Bills game.

Okay, I will admit my main focus was Hogan when asking this. His numbers weren't all that different when he was acquired by you guys. 

 

I mean his yards/YPR did go up in 2016, but his Touchdowns, Receptions, and Targets basically remained the same even with the GOAT throwing him the ball. His numbers scream solid 3/4 option at WR. Not a number 2. 

 

I like Hogan besides him being a Pat.

There is NO WAY the Pats are trading what it would take to get into the top 5-7.  2 1sts this year, a 1st next year plus how much more to draft a QB behind Brady when they could use those picks on more talent for the roster and make another run at a Superbowl?  No chance.

 

IF the Pats want a QB, the only way this has even the slightest chance of impacting the Bills is if the Bills were hoping to get their QB at #22.

I agree that BB wants him some Rudolph.  If we don't move up, or it we don't get Mayfield at 12, then he'll jump in front of us to get him some Rudolph.  BB doesn't want Mayfield, he wants him some Rudolph.  IF we get our QB, BB will get him some Rudolph.  He will be smirking in private.
