Tre'Davious is tied at 6 interceptions with Stephon Gillmore for the NFL lead. He is the best CB in the league, period. He will be first team All Pro and Pro Bowl. This pick is going to pay off for years to come. Too bad Gillmore chose to sign with the Evil Empire, which had a bleak future. Should have stuck with Buffalo.

On White I have said since his rookie year he was borderline elite and the two things I wanted to see him do to force himself into that category were a) get his hands on more balls; and b) deal with those longer limbed and long striding wideouts that had given him occasional issues his first two seasons. I think both of those have been demonstrated. He is a top 3 corner in the NFL right now. I'd have him, Gilmore and Hayward as my top 3 currently. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I've said that Gilmore is the same player with the Cheaters that he was with the Bills. He just gets away with stuff with them that he couldn't with the Bills. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I thought Tre White would be good when Buffalo drafted him, but he's better than I expected, by a lot. I'd still like to see a better CB on the other side. Levi Wallace is a smart CB and has had some good games, but he's also been owned a few times, especially by big physical receivers that have some athleticism.

VaMilBill Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Gilmore seemed like he wasn’t very interested in tackling his last season in buffalo. Probably to protect himself. But it didn’t settle well with us fans so that’s why Gilmore is hated so much. He sold out his effort with the Bills for a pay dat.

It was 70% Rex and the scheme and the other 25% atrocious safety play. Rex was the worst thing to happen to this franchise in 20 years. And that is saying something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not the best IMO. Sure there is a time when it is impossible to make the play so a player will tail off. but IIRC Gilmore gave up before he even tried. I always supported Gilmore in his years in Buffalo, up to the last season where he didn't care any more. I look at this team and I SEE the want and desire to never give up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - he was in the conversation in that 2nd level of guys. Gotta remember - He started in 2012 and guys like Bailey and Tillman were still back there. Casey Hayward was really good for a few years when healthy. Sherman was dominant. Peterson was awesome. Haden. Revis. Harris. Talib. Even that jerk Vontae Davis. Norman was awesome with carolina for a couple of years. Peters. Lot of guys who I think were better for a time. He's found his stride and his role. He gets to play man a lot, and he's trusted to do it sometimes with no help. He's making plays when theyre there to be made and just generally taking away half the field. While he was very good here - i don't think he did that. Edited December 16, 2019 by dneveu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that he was coasting through his final season trying to avoid injury. He was always a physical corner. His final season, he seemed to play much softer. Maybe it was due to scheme. Maybe not. I was glad we let him go, strictly based on his effort that final season. He gave up on this team (maybe he just gave up on rex?) and wasn’t worth the money imo. he’s since proven me wrong, but I’ll take Tre over Gilmore every day of the week.

Paulus Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 So many Bills' fans are still apparently clueless on Gilmore... He was good when he played here. But, I still had to hear some guys complain about him, incessantly. Went to play under one of the best coaches in the league, and has been called the best corner in the league by many... Guys, still complaining about his play with Buffalo, just because they cant admit they are full of shiz. Some of y'all appear to have been constipated for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason, Tre is better IMO. Elite players in the limelight need the limelight to be shined on them in order to become popular on a national level. Cris Collinsworth did that last night for Tre, and you watch! His reputation will now be solidified around the league as the top 1, 2, or 3 cover guy in the league.
