MDH Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 6 minutes ago, Warcodered said: So because they're worried that both will get picked up if they cut them, they cut the better of the two to see if he makes it, while keeping the worse one on the actual 53 just in case? If it proves to be true Id imagine they cut the one less likely to be picked up off waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 30 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: But why not cut Fromm today? He will still be subject to waivers. Not sure what it accomplishes? The answer is while everyone on this board is 110% into Allen, Beane needed insurance in case Allen has hit his ceiling already. We'll have to wait and see what Allen does in 2020. But if no appreciable improvement, then Fromm can challenge for the starting spot in 2021. Thats why Beane drafted Fromm. To give him an out incase Allen does not progress. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 39 minutes ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: The Bills decision to hand the ball to Frank Gore while Yeldon sat inactive was the wrong decision. Every down that Frank touched the ball was an absolute waste. I agree about frank after the first couple weeks but just because yeldon is better than Gore last season doesn’t make him a good RB.

I really hope this guy morphs into a Billsy iteration of Captain Andrew Luck, and just makes ridiculous comments for the entire time Fromm is in the NFL. That'll be entertaining.

As deep as they’ve built the roster they can afford to include players and multiple picks to move up in a draft for a top tier quarterback prospect. Fromm at best case scenario is a backup in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo44 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 46 minutes ago, FLFan said: No. Just where you are wrong, at least in this case. Feliciano hits IR and I’m guessing the bills trade an olineman to clear the 2nd spot?? if Fromm or hodgins would have been cut they would have been claimed. I don’t think k Fromm will be cut. Barclays contract is up after this year and best case scenario, Fromm progresses this year and next offseason and takes over backup QBs. feliciano and Jones will be ir’d (and eligible to come back week 4) with Roberts and Marlowe resigned. I think they may trade an OL too to open up another spot, which I would expect to be a waiver claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEN-CAL17 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Quote from 3 weeks ago.... Been saying it for months now..... Roberts could be a surprise cut. But everyone thinks hes still the Roberts of 2016. His longest punt return last year was 22 yards. 8 yard avg. What 32 years old? Do you keep him and put Hodgins on the PS to possibly be scooped up? Then have to drop Roberts to place Hodgins on the 53, or who do you drop? Can McKenzie return punts? McKenzie is solid on the fly sweeps and made some big plays periodically last year on the field..... I still say: Diggs Brown Beasley Davis McKenzie Hodgins But but Roberts is respected in the ST room. 8 yard avg last year, was 14 the year before.... IMO NFL teams are not scared of Roberts in 2020. I think they are looking and building returners for a possible replacement. 90% of the time its a fair catch anyway..... PRETTY SURE I NAILED THAT! 7 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Except he'll be signed back. What makes you say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
