For me?

 

Marcus Mariota.

 

The kid had a new offensive coordinator every season in Tennessee, they refused to hand the ball to Henry when he was at QB, and he’s already had huge success before in the league.

 

Before you all flame away, he would be a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over Barkley, and what has Tennessee/Philadelphia showed us the past few years? Never hurts to have a good QB 2.

 

Lastly, I’m not sold on Josh Allen. I was extremely bullish on him early on but towards the end of the season my optimism has faded. 
 

Who is your number 1 target and why?

Even when you said he’d be a good backup, I was still waiting for the “I’m not a josh allen fan,” and there it was. Just come out and say you want Mariota so he can be the starter here.

Dream additions at positions of need would be: 

Clowney

Scherff

Cooper

Henry

 

Not happening. But I could see them going after one of them. I think Amari needs some love and needs to be held accountable. He would get that with Bills Mafia and Coach McDermott and I think his skill set would excel here in Brian Daboll's offense. Again it seems unlikely, but he could be the missing piece. 

 

I would also say that there are some pretty interesting corners on the market who could challenge Levi Wallace. We also need to add safety depth.

I'd love to add someone like Ashtyn Davis in the draft for S depth/return specialist in the draft that way can part ways from Andre Roberts.

I know you don’t think this. For anyone on here who does go ask Titan fans who they would prefer, Allen or Mariota. I guarantee you would hear Allen far more than Mariota. Heck Tannehill has done more with that team than Mariota ever could.

Derrick Henry. If he does become  available I think the Bill's should pay what it takes to get him here. I have heard and said, "you shouldn't pay big $$ for RB's"... but this guy would make us SB contenders without really doing much else IMO.add another solid draft and we could be the 1 seed ne t year

No doubt. Tennessee would be insane not to place the Franchise Tag on him.

 

It looks to me like he might fetch 15 million per season or perhaps more on an open market with huge guaranteed money, no?

Jordan Jenkins, DE/OLB, NYJ

 

Perfect replacement for LoZo. Has a quick first step, can play linebacker, can line up at DE. Will command $10M/yr but not as much as say Clowney, Dupree or Yannick.

He'd be a solid add my only concern is he's a 3-4 OLB that be asked to move to a 4-3, similar to what Jeff Posey had to do and while he was good he never had same sack numbers here than he did in Houston.

I’d get him to drop 10lbs. Can plug him in at LE on passing downs. On running downs all of a sudden we have an enforcer at LB. I think he upgrades two positions on defense for us. Good for 8-10 sacks a year, probably cost half as much as Clowney.

I'd be happy with 5-8 sacks, granted I also want to see us add Mario Addison who think should be able to the same in terms of sacks in order to replace Shaq Lawson. As think he could be more affordable and we'd only need him for a year or two assuming we also draft someone to develop behind him and Hughes.

Why do all process guys have to be so mediocre? Time to change philosophy a bit and get some star talent in here via FA.

 

It's what I call "Chris Kelsay scar tissue." You see it everywhere throughout the Buffalo Bills fanbase that endured The Drought Era. You are either hard-working, team-oriented, blue-collar, always carrying your lunch in a pail form, completely devoid of talent, and somehow a perfect fit for the Buffalo franchise or you are a supremely talented but egotistical, lazy, and possibly criminal diva of an athlete who belongs with one of those teams that wins playoff games and division titles at least once every 25 years.

im usually in the camp of never pay a running back but sure if the bills could land him id make him the highest paid back for the next 4years.  Him and singletary would be amazing.  Cant see any way the titans allow him to leave tho.

If nothing else this place is good for a laugh.

 

Barkley is horrible, 10 TDs  21 INTs in his career(INT% of 6.1), career QB Rating of 65.7 and has only 2 pretty good games in his 7 year career. He shouldn't even be a backup in this league.

Whats good for a laugh is Barkley has only 7 starts in the NFL and has comparable numbers to Allen who has 28.

 

We know what Barkley is....a back up.  We know what Josh doesn't look like, a franchise Qb. 

 

Do the math.

Seeing as the vet in the RB room is done & they may need another vet in the room because McD likes to have a vet in each room i'm gonna say .

 

Beast Mode bring him back where he started it all he has some more left in the tank especially around the goal line !

 

Of coarse i know this will never happen but hey it's kind of fun to think about & i think Bills fans would go ape sh*t if he was to come back for a last hoo rah !!

Ok, I'll bite what's your comparables?!?!  Just a quick looks at their career stats on NFL.com shows that Allen is better.  Allen maybe not be Elite be he is far better then Barkley

Well if you've looked then you should know. 

 

Barkley has higher completion %

 

Higher yards per completion. 

 

Similar yard per game in same amount of starts. 

 

Similar Tds in amount of starts...etc. 

 

People on here act like Barkley has tons of game experience.   He doesn't, and he has room to grow as well. 

 

Aside from that, Barkley was named the best Qb in preseason this past year. 

 

He's a solid back up and shown what he can do when he got the start in a real game with a real team around him.

Because I think 80% of our draft will be offense,  I'm picking Ngakoue to replace Murphy. I'd also like to see us make a run at Conklin or Cooper.

The Bills have shown to be a rotational system, so all this talk about cutting Murphy is foolish as likely going to pay his replacement the same or more and then find yet another DE to replace Shaq.

derrick henry with the best wr and de with our first rd picks and resign lawson and philips

 

I can't see any way the Titans let Henry go with what he's done down the stretch.

The one I really want is Hooper.  Get two good pass catching TE's.  There appear to be Edge, WR's, OL, RB, etc available in the draft.  Good luck defending Hooper, Knox, Brown, Higgins or whatever WR we get (Jefferson), and Beasley.  We can throw long, short, etc.  What team can cover both Knox and Hooper, plus Brown, Beasley and WR. 

 

On D, draft the kid from LSU Chassion, or PSU's DE whose name I won't attempt to spell and am too lazy to look up!

No he doesn't, not even close. Barkley 10 TDs   21 INTs, Allen 30 TDs   21 INTs. Barkley has thrown the SAME amount of INTs in 342 attempt to Josh's INTs in 781 attempts. He also has only 1/3 of the TD passes Allen has. 

 

He can't run to save his life, 17 attempts...wait for it -6 yards 0 TDs. Josh has 198 attempts  1,1141 yards and 17 more TDs

 

Leadership. I didn't see the team rally around Barkley in his starts vs when Josh plays. This team is firmly behind him.

 

You must have forgot to mention those in your list of how Barkley is the same as Josh post and they are to date  3 of the bigger differences between them.

 

Barkley doesn't play because after 7 seasons he's not that good and he still can't hang onto the ball. Like I mentioned before 6.1 career INT%, Jameis Winston threw 30 INTs this year and his INT% was only 4.8.

 

I'm getting the feeling you're a fan that wants 300 yard games, no matter what. Turnovers kill a team more than anything. Josh & the team have made huge strides in this area since the first Pats**** game this year, that was till Barkley took the field in week 17 thinking the Jest players were his teammates.

It actually is not that simple.....you put a back qb on the field and within 3 games they are LOSING games for you

 

You know what Josh Allen does at his young age?   Pick up his play in the 4th quarter.

 

Josh Allen is here to stay.....dont like it...too bad

1A. Jordan Phillips

1B. Shaq Lawson

 

What about Ed Oliver, Harrison Phillips, & Star L at DL . Then there is Murph, Hughes, & Daryl Johnson at DE plus who ever they can get in the draft & at FA .

 

I would love to see Phillips come back but he's gonna want huge money & Beane won't pay what he wants !!

Just one. Sure. 
 

Austin Hooper. A top end talent tied with the young talent will help not only Josh but the WRs as well.
