Charles Romes Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I never liked the Kroft signing. His only good year was when Eifert went down. Other than that he was never considered good enough to take plays away from Eifert. We are looking to find an Eifert not a Kroft. Beane has had many successes and so must of us I expect are willing to let the Kroft mistake slide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a third tier FA acquisition. Sucks for Kroft, but pardon me if I give the GM a pass for taking a gamble on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallions Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 WHY would there be outrage? When the Bills get a player from the Bengals disappointment is to be expected!! AJ McCarron has thrown 17 passes (none with the Bills) during his 6 year NFL regular season career? Russell Bodine was a joke from day #1. And Bodine bought his home in Orchard Park from McCarron - -true story!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdragon2 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Every other GM would have known that he’d break his foot! There’s def ways to see he future and know that a bone will break during OTAs! Every medical report on players has a section for future injuries and their severity! Didn’t Beane READ?! He def would have known the date and time a bone would break!!! Is that enough fake outrage?

gonzo1105 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) The outrage is mitigated by the other free agent signing who are a hit right now so far. Also having Dawson Knox, Lee Smith, and Sweeney being road graders in the run game make people forget about Kroft real quick. Lastly, even though he signed a 3 year 18 million dollar deal, all the guaranteed money is basically in the 1st year so he can be cut after this year(seeming more likely) with a very small dead cap Edited September 22, 2019 by gonzo1105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 You wonder if BB mitigated the Kroft injury risk by drafting two TEs. If there are a few silver linings, it’s that the TE draft picks seemed to have worked out and Kroft got injured early enough in the offseason for us to have enough TEs on the roster.

NoSaint Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 In the Nfl most free agents have risks associated. If they are durable saints with elite measurable sand production- you either never let them walk or they go somewhere for insane money. This group seems to prefer injury risk to character risk, though open to both, if I’m reading between the lines. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t do I don’t hate the strategy. Just like I think it’s fine in other cases around the league. this one irks me a tiny bit as I think we paid at a premium rate for his skills/production despite the risk. But it’s not long term or crazy crazy money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This setback is unfortunate indeed. but that does not predict his performance for me. He does have talent Best bit though, is Beanes mitigated the risk and may have nailed the draft Go Bills Just now, Don Otreply said: My outrage?

Kmart128 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Outraged over health issues? That's just classless. I personally feel for the guy. He obviously wants to play. And it not like Kroft is wasting a ton of our cap space and not playing. Having an often injured player typically only hurts a team if they make a lot of money because it makes them harder to replace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
