Young players you want to be leaders in the near future. Allen, Edmunds, White, and maybe Phillips. It’s a start. In two years almost all of the aging vets bringing that average age up will be gone. Don’t be fooled by simple average, it’s generally not a useful statistic. Not fooled. Do a count. The Bills don't have any more youth than any other team. The salary cap forces all teams to load up with the maximum amount of rookie contract players than can.

We wouldn’t need to spend 10 mil on Star. Wouldn’t need 4 mil on Davis. We’d have more money and less holes. More currency to spend on things like OL. Having Darius and not star would have been 2 million less cap. Darby not Vontae would save 3 mil. But you wouldn’t have Harrison so you’d need another DT.

I don't think so either but there are so many self inflicted holes I don't foresee .500 until 2020. Is that good enough for McBean to fend off TPegs and get more time? This whole **** show was self created and unnecessary. Totally different story if McBean inherited a bad 2-14 non playoff team.

Jaguars stunk for 4 1/2 years with Gus before finally Coach Moron took over and said screw this, let's get some guys in here. Like trading a 6th round pick for Dareus for example. Clowns still haven't won a game since 2016 or a road game sine 2015. Edited September 17, 2018 by reddogblitz

djp14150 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Peop,e on here just don’t get how the cap works. whaley made the cap work by restructuring contracts and passing it onto future years...at some point thus will catch up to you so you will have to absorb dead cap space. It’s best to absorb it all in one year. 3

NoSaint Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Everyone spends to the cap. It’s not just for making a push. There’s a requirement of spending a rolling average of 90-ish percent. We chose to cut bait with 90% of the young core including young guys on rookie deals and second contract guys with big dead money. Now we are old and broke. It was a choice. You might agree or disagree with the strategy but it was not forced on anyone but the fans. 4 3

Which guys exactly are you talking about that were part of the 4 1/2 year "rebuild" that MADE their defense?

K-9 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 The curse of the perpetual .500 (or there about) team. Constantly treading water and deluding yourselves into thinking you’re just a player or two away when the reality is far different as we’ve seen. 2

Ok so they “only” drafted their best LB, the best DB in the game, their franchise QB RB AND TE. Whew, that’s awful.
VW82 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Excellent post. It's amazing to me how anyone could see this breakdown and still question McBeane's decision to rebuild. I get the frustration with the execution of it but it NEEDED to happen. Our cap situation was F'd. We had no choice. Edited September 18, 2018 by VW82
