CEN-CAL17 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 People realize WRs that don’t have a great catch radius will be tough. Josh Allen is not the most accurate passer. He is not bad, it will just help to grab WRs who can shield and make a tough contested catch IMO. Obviously great route runners who can get separation helps too.

mjt328 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 6 hours ago, GunnerBill said: And he has been solid at his job. I don't think he has been any better than that and he is certainly getting too much money. That said McDermott likes to play with active linebackers and so a player of Star's type is kind of a necessity and they knew what they were getting with him after having him in Carolina. Free agents are almost always going to be overpaid. And it's OK to have a few overpaid guys on the roster. He's making $10 million per year, but contributing at a maybe a $7 million level. I would rather have a player like that (who is at least helping us win) than a guy like Russell Bodine who is making $2-3 million and is a major liability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract isn't a bid deal, as you could cut him anytime with minimal dead cap. I would sign a guy like Maxx Williams who doubles as a tight end and fullback so you free up a roster spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly hope that's the case, don't we? I vaguely recall an article earlier this season making the case for Star doing yeoman's work, but haven't seen any evidence-based analysis of his impact lately. Anyone got evidence he's filling his role well? Traditional stats (tackles, pressures, sacks, etc.) don't tell the story, is what we're hoping...

Guess not. But McD wont see it because of the Carolina connection so he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he's had some injury issues, but he's performed on the field. I don't see him going anywhere, it's not like there are better pass rushers available for less. We need to draft one. And Murphy is already the 4th man up. So if we draft a young pass rusher and Murphy is the 5th man up you want to pay an extra $5m next year for that?

Charles Clay should definitely be gone though, I have never been a big fan of his contract and production on the field. Wouldn't mind seeing the Bills sign Sanu, always kind of reminded me of Robert Woods with just being a solid #2 option. But I wouldn't overpay for him if Foster ends the season on a high note. Also, Kyle Williams future is unknown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a bad punt to take, but he has been hobbling around like a wounded zebra all year. It hasn't worked out. He has been significantly outplayed by Shaq Lawson. You don't spend $5m on someone who hasn't contributed It was “designed” to have a 3.5 million dead cap. No team would say oh it’s only. 3.5 million dead cap its an easy out. That would be a terrible plan and admitting a Terrible signing. Don’t think that happens with this regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract is the contract, its not an easy out after one year though. If they do, they have to admit the signing was not a good idea. Look how long they held onto KB when he did not even try, who was their choice. A Whaley deciphile like Clay is easy for them to waive even with the dead cap. The plan was not for a one and done, can they get out? Yes. But they will probably be leading the league in dead cap again next year when they get done waiving all the bad contracts they have. Your goal should be 0 dead cap, to plan for 3.5 million for someone is not a good plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now a professor of route running. I think he could contribute in the passing game as the redzone type KB was supposed to be and as a 3rd down chain mover but he would also be a fantastic teacher for our young guys - the Foster and McKenzie's of this world. This. Allen can get him the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
