Dalton wants to start he won’t start here in Buffalo. Yes there are a lot of teams who could use a starter, but there are better options available than Dalton right now. He might find a starting gig if things break in his favor, but things would have to break in his favor. He won't be at the top of the list of QBs. We shall see though.

GreggTX Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Last year he said FA is for filling holes, but I'd like to see him land a couple elite players like Amari Cooper, Clowney, Scherff, Thuney, Byron Jones or any 1 of the very good TE's available. We don't need more average players. We need game changers and elite OL/DL linemen to dominate in the trenches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 11 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: He hasn't accomplished nearly as much as John Brown, but he interests me. He was a disappointment as a first round draft pick for the Ravens due to injuries, and they moved on in 2018 (his 4th year), but he had a decent year in 2019 for Tampa. The scouting report on him when he came out in 2015 was that he had all the physical measurements (height, weight, speed) but was "raw on his routes". I have not seen him play to assess to what extent that's changed: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/breshad-perriman?id=2552597 He was basically regarded as a 1st round bust by the Ravens, who cut him after his 4th year training camp: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000940926/article/report-ravens-to-pick-up-breshad-perriman-bonus He did look good last year with TB. The video is terrible, but his catches are pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s smart of them to be quiet about it too. No upside to putting it out there that they’ll be big spenders. That would lead to unrealistic expectations by the fans and, ultimately, disappointment. One point of clarification though. Minimum spending limits are calculated on CASH distributed, not cap accounting. That makes hitting the minimum a lot easier to achieve.

Don Otreply Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 There is zero chance that AB is signed by the Bills, he is 31/32 years old, his career in the NFL is over, he’s gonna be pushing his mid thirties before he is eligible because of his current legal issues, and he is a bonafide wack job. You would need to be the pats to sign a F up like him. I don’t think we will see the unexpected from management. Beane has basically announced his intent in his PCs. Beane and his crew do their homework and do it well. We know Beanes style, we just don’t know how it will play out, it will be an exciting FA & draft period this off season. Now we bring in the offensive play makers and O line help, and shore up the D a bit more, imo. Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as TE Greg Olsen goes give him a great tour first hand and show him exactly what we got going on over here in Buffalo.

I would think that the LB and DE positions this year should be a big time priority for the Bills. How they address I don’t know but I do expect it.

I don't agree with David Johnson at all (Seriously what is this fan bases obsession with the RB position?), he wouldn't be a compliment to Devin Singletary he would be his replacement and at this stage of his career I think Singletary may be the better player especially for the price Johnson would come at. Why not draft a big bruising back that can bull people over for those tough yards in like the 4th-7th rounds? Get a compliment to Singletary who looked absolutely like he belonged in this league in just about every game he played in including the playoff game. Antonio Brown is done in this league. You heard it here first I think Olson coming in would be more of e mentoring role at this stage for him with some obvious playing time as well, I see no harm in this move. I never thought about Andy Dalton but that would be an excellent pickup for us and he was already happy that our fan base donated to his charity, I think it would be an excellent fir for both sides and he would be an incredible backup for us who can win us some games if need be. I agree an edge rusher or rush LB are on the top of the wish list, they have to be. GO BILLS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m one of the worse posters on this message board by your estimation. Check. b. I need to clarify better on keeping just 2 QBs rather than 3 despite the fact that that has been the case for the last several years. This is where I applaud your comprehension. Check. c. AB is a scumbag and doesn’t deserve any chances according to you, and I, like you, are or should be better human beings than him. Hmm, interesting. Ok, check. d. Last but not least I’m not worthy of an opinion but apparently you are. Check. You’re not just another poster, you’re God. Please forgive me, I must have sinned. Nah brah, its the asinine views you obviously take for attention. Do you honestly feel like after dodging a bullet last year, it would be beneficial for this team to bring in AB? Domestic crap aside (sadly, its hard to do but for the sake of conversation) after watching the way he operates you think thats a good thing for this locker room? It was debatable last year. After the year hes had, his paid (or sometimes unpaid) associates dropping him like flies, and the constant circus (see saints asking to drop the entourage and he couldnt) not to mention pending charges that if cleared to play could snap him back out of the lineup in a jiffy (this causing the team to have to adjust) you think bringing THAT guy in here is what this team needs? They need him like a hole in the head! As far as qbs go, i dont think it takes any special level of comprehension to read what you wrote and not take it as you wanted Dalton breathing down your potential FQB1's neck. There was no mention of Barkley, and the jump is you want to disrupt his growth by making him concerned about his job? That again seems like sabotage and shooting yourself in the foot just for the sake of doing it. I stand by what i said, and continue to be happy you arent the guy in charge. I dont even mean that as an insult, and there is no god like will behind it. You can make your point in paragraph form or try and snazz them up with bullet points, they remain (respectfully) just as flawed! If I was looking for attention and suggested similar ideas Id HOPE that someone would offer resistance and try to alter my thought process so I could be a better, and as a result, happier fan. Is it fun calling for things that will never happen? That just seems like a path to being a miserable 'fan' because if thats what you want and otherwise wont be happy, what fun is that?!

Tipster19 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 No problem with a difference of opinions, it’s the personal attacks that aren’t necessary. It’s real simple, if you don’t like me or my opinions then don’t read my posts. It amazes me how some people just talk all kinds of ***** about or to somebody on a message board but never would or could say it to somebody’s face. That is a fact not an opinion, you know what I’m saying brah?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpionZero Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 This topic is almost laughable, none of the first post is gonna happen and Olsen signed with Seattle. Beane will spend like last year adding multiple options that McD can pick and choose how to use them. They may try and get 1 high end free agent such as Conklin or Clowney. I think the only trades you'll see is during the draft either to go up and get Lamb or moving up in later rounds. Let's not forget he's constantly scouring through the NFL for training camp cuts and so forth. We're not gonna add slay or Jones because you can't have 2 high paid cornerbacks and still try to keep your team intact. Here's a crazy thought, when it's time to resign Allen will he be the first player to say I don't need that much let's keep the team together. Crazy right.

Tipster19 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 What is generally accurate is the propensity of acquiring veterans. Regardless of who it may be I think it is safe to say that Beane will be getting some veterans in here this year to help offset the loss of players like Kyle Williams, Alexander, Gore etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
