Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 58 minutes ago, SoTier said: That the Bills are still scouring the bargain table at some church rummage sale for WRs because the WRs currently on the roster are by and large not NFL caliber players. It's not the giving up of a 7th round pick two years out that's troubling ... it's that so many TBD members believe this move is anything but a desperate attempt to cover up the Bills FO's failure to give Allen any kind of meaningful help with the passing game, and that Coleman's going to magically improve when he comes to Buffalo. How a "change of scenery" is going to improve Coleman's pass catching ability and route running, two knocks on him from his college days, seems like serious wishful thinking ... but then Bills fans have lived on that for the last two decades, so most are well trained. Did going to the Jests turn Aaron Maybin into a NFL caliber player? Nope, and this trade in no way compares to the trade that brought Hughes to the Bills, either, since both Hughes and the player he was traded for, Kelvin Sheppard, were decent enough players playing in systems where they weren't good fits. They weren't busts, just not playing up to expectations. Both went on to have success, although Hughes had much more success than Sheppard. He probably had more raw talent, too, being a first rounder while Sheppard was a fourth rounder. My guess is that the Browns were going to cut Coleman if they couldn't trade him, and that the Bills were the only team that offered them even the equivalent of used athletic equipment for him ... Maybe if they had waited, they could have gotten him for nothing, but the Bills move smacks of desperation. If another team's bust is an upgrade, that speaks volumes about the poor quality of the Bills WR corps ... and volumes more about the quality of the Bills talent evaluation that obviously misjudged the quality of the WRs currently on the roster. But you fanboys continue to spin your fantasies for a while .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Has for 17 years been an all time QB who they lucked out on in the 6th round. Who just turned 41. Coincidentally, the same age I could no longer beat my kid in one-on-one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
