T master Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I don't blame them the Bills should have never let him out the door the guy was always there when the team needed him & he was a team guy & 10 times more dependable than Clay for a lot less money !!

TE is forever a need on this team. I’m glad that they don’t settle on bottom of the league production as acceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Thrill Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Please he makes 1 TD catch and some people act like he’s Jimmy Graham. Before you fans re-write history, keep in mind that O’Leary has 7 catches on the year for 77 yards. 7 catches is less than any TE’s on the Bills. O’Leary is a quality #2 or #3 option at TE. He is an average blocker and average receiver. The decision for the Bills was pretty simple. They elected to go with players like Croom and Thomas who have more potential as receivers at TE. They can’t get rid of Clay because of contract reasons but they wouldn’t because he too is a better receiver and blocker than O’Leary. I see him as a marginal player. One way or the other O’Leary has ZERO effect on the Bills season in 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I'm happy for Nick as he seems like a class guy. But as a Bills fan i'm glad he's not on the roster anymore & as i've said before, I can't wait til Logan Thomas is gone too. How much time, how many seasons do you waste a roster spot on a project TE? He's been in the league 4 years now... i think its time to move on lol. Hopefully this offseason TE is one of those positions we finally upgrade. Edited December 1, 2018 by brianthomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cage Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 22 minutes ago, whatdrought said: Man. I would rather have Nick than Logan Thomas right now. never really understood that move. I'd rather have Thomas. He still has some ceiling to grow too. He clearly needs to improve blocking, but he has good hands and I love how they used him on the fake punt a few weeks ago. I also like Croom a lot better. Hard to comment on Clay as his contract made him difficult to move past, but I think that ends after this season.

How much longer until that potential comes to fruition? You also say that O'Leary is an average blocker, which is true. Have you seen Logan Thomas block?

IgotBILLStopay Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I always liked Nick. But it is understandable why they kept Logan over Nick. Logan can throw the ball. Nick cant. With our QB situation grim throughout the season following the AJM trade, McB didnt have the luxury of giving up on anyone who could throw the ball.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Jeez...what I would do for a TE that was even an “average” blocker. Croom and Thomas are trash. I’m not even sure why Thomas is still on the team at this point. Bad mistake releasing O’Leary, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I see where people are coming from, but Logan Thomas, to my eye, is starting to come around. He looks much better as a blocker and has been an okay reciever. There is still some nice potential in there. His route running appears to have improved as well. I do like O'Leary, but I understand why they moved on. Croom is a nice reciever, and an awful blocker, but Thomas still has potential to become an all around tight end. I thought he sucked too, but since Clay has been out, he has been the #1 and I think he looks a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 O'Leary was okay, but no great loss. I can see why the Bills let him walk. Thomas is a horrible blocker. They need to just use him as a WR. In fact, the Bills don't have a TE on the roster who is a great blocker. Clay is just okay. Croom is more WR too. The Bills can do better at that position in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
