Put him at the Mike and move Edmunds to the Elephant role, let him rush the passer where he has a chance to be ELITE. You want to shake things up and tilt the field a bit? Time to make a move, McBeane. People may laugh coach but the sooner we get Edmunds to the outside the better. He is NOT A MLB!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just now, JoshAllenHasBigHands said: Is that a serious comment? You have posted 16,000 times on this board. You obviously love the Bills and love football. There is no way you can spend that much time thinking about football and think that Fitzpatrick comment makes any sense. I'll make it simple: The overwhelming value of a trade is dictated by how many years the receiving team will have that player and at what cost. So, the Steelers received Minkah for 3 more years on a low-cost rookie deal. In the Gilmore Scenario, the receiving team gets Gilmore for 1 year at the most expensive price tag in the NFL. Do you see why the former is worth more (higher pick) than the latter? I refuse to believe you do not understand this concept, but that Fitzpatrick comment tells me you don't. And yet I just showed you an expiring contract at the same position with the same stats got a 1st and a 4th in 2013. So yeah I really do think you do not understand value. Or Ramsey once year left (lesser stats) gets 2 1sts and a 4th this year. If a team calls about Tre White would he bring a first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask Bill Belichick, who is at root a DB coach. I would bet a lot of money that he would have commanded a first. The guy you are arguing with is in that stage where he thinks he knows something but is getting continuously proven wrong by the results time and again. He's like C.Biscuit circa Jauron days. Letting Gilmore leave was dumb. Not even tagging him was dumber. It was a fear of keeping players who had leverage on the organization. That reflected a weakness in McDermott. It's hard to win if you are afraid to deal with some star talent that you didn't develop and personally bring into the organization. What Beane and McDermott did in cleaning house was the "organizational" equivalent of forcing your scheme on talent who didn't match it. They decided they had to fix everything, even the stuff that wasn't broke like Lynn's offense and a bunch of good young talent just hitting their prime. That's why they are in year 3 and lack playmakers on both sides of the ball. People hate the Jauron comparisons but not tagging Gilmore was right out of the Jauron/Levy playbook. Not only did they not get an extra pick at least they THEN traded back out of position to select Mahomes or Watson to GET an extra pick and replace Gilmore. Thankfully I was right about Tre White that he was the best CB in that draft(because Lattimore still can't stay healthy) otherwise imagine if they had selected a dud with that pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a few people with agendas second guessing past events with the help of hindsight. Maybe with hindsight tag and trade might have worked. I'm not willing to agree that someone would have given a first. Maybe-but its pure speculation. Clowney, Clark and Ford were all proven assets on contending teams. Gilmore had good and bad flashes on a non-contender. Would it have been preferable had he not gone to NE? Absolutely. Should they have let a guy who many now consider to be #1 CB in the league go in FA? Absolutely not, although we shouldn't ignore here that the Bills were close to the cap and it appears that McD didn't want to keep him. However, Is it really a given that he would have done as well as he has had he gone to any other team than NE? @BADOLBILZ To your point of weakness on the part of McD I would say that it shows the opposite. Due to brave decisions removing beloved Bills icons in his first year as a rookie head coach -(Watkins, Dareus, Gilmore), McD was able to end the drought and build a team that he wanted to represent him. You are basing your criticism of those moves on what those players went on to become rather than on what the Bills went on to become. That tells me everything about where your loyalties lie.

I get that fans want better. I do. The Bills look unconvincing for a 6-3 team. Casual fans want to see Mahomes at QB, Julio at WR, Mack at DE. I mean who wouldn't? I do think in hindsight getting absolutely nothing for Gilmore looks bad. But its hard to criticise without context. McD coming to an old underachieving team in cap hell made decisions which upset Bills fans. He hasn't been forgiven for those decisions and won't be until fans see success. A lot of people are all or nothing and they perceive gradual improvement as failure because they compare what they have to the very best. 9 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: year three still talking about the cap He’ll they created themselves Except that they aren't anymore are they? Because of tough decisions like Gilmore. And the dead cap sacrifice last year. If McD fails the rest of this year and the team doesn't make the postseason then he is let go, he will still have broken the playoff drought and leave behind a much younger team with a strong D and with cap space.

That’s all that matters at this point. That ship sailed when they passed on Josh Gordon. I know most Bills fans didn't watch that epic Seattle/SF game last night but Gordon stepped in cold and got open and caught a couple slants that nobody on the Bills WR corps could have. The second one was 3 feet from his body at hip level in heavy traffic and he caught it in stride in his hands like someone soft tossed him a loaf of bread. And btw the dude can run 22mph on a go route too. Contrast that to the punt returner the Bills were trying to throw over the middle to in Cleveland who slowed down and tried to body catch a ball that was nowhere near his body. A ball he should have been able to catch in stride and run with. That was a good look for McBeane and Bills WR coach Chad Hall. Lofton offered to help them out with the "minor" technique issue tho that was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
