He's hardly the only player to have issues with the way the Chargers treat their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thinking about it now I think he wanted to stay in the AFC west Im thinking it was a leverage play. Singletary is our guy for the next few years the Bills will need a QB who is ok being second fiddle and I never saw Gordon having that mentality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Clyde, but he's too much like Singletary to a be complimentary back to him. I know, but I REALLY like Clyde's attitude, talent, and running style. Joe Burrow said he was the best player on LSU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 So, maybe, at the very least we can see where the Bills head is at. Maybe it's like Olsen where it was more a viable option due to availability not necessity. Would have been awesome to add a talent like Gordon, sure, but there are plenty of options.

Starr Almighty Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I would of given him 2 years 16m. This would of changed the offense big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they will draft for need. But if they did it is CB2 imo in the 2nd. Much easier to find a decent RB2 later in the draft or out of the remaining guys in FA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billl Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 1 hour ago, MAJBobby said: The Frank Gore replacement should come in the draft or a cheap deal on a RB like a Hyde. I will never understand the Carlos Hyde fascination this place has. What makes so many here pine for a 30 year old journeyman RB who was just released in favor of Shady McCoy?

SCBills Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I wanted Gordon but I’m firmly in the “stop paying running backs big money” camp, so this certainly would have been a catch 22 signing. Definitely did not see him getting a contract like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billl Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 1 hour ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: but those healthy legs only take him about 3.4 yards at a time! ? YPC is about the least important stat that still gets heavily used. In the last 4 seasons, Gordon has played in 53 games. He has scored 47 TDs and averages 100 yards of offense per game. He can block. He can catch. He can run. He can get the tough yards. Most importantly, he can score. Unless you want to watch Josh continue to take hits in short yard situations, you need a guy who can do what Gordon does, because there’s currently nobody on the roster who can.

Unless of course we trade for Derrick Henry. The draft was always the best option. No to Gordon. No to Gurley and no to Henry. Plenty of quality rbs who you can draft and have for 5 seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have little doubt that you can get a guy like Gordon in the 5th or 6th round of the draft for a fraction of what the Broncos just paid for Gordon. I also want Singletary getting the majority of the carries. So, we are really looking for a complimentary, load-share RB more than anything.
