BADOLBILZ Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 hour ago, NewEra said: Houstons numbers weren’t dissimilar to Addisons but his play on the field was imo. Houston is and has always been superior. Yeah, Houston has been more individually impactful.......injuries leveled him up with Addison at times but when healthy he's just superior to Mario. 8 sacks......including 2 safety's..........a FF and 2 FR's (Addison was a zilch in those columns). He basically made more than twice as many big plays. If a pass rusher like that is only worth $4M then a guy with like 60% of his production on similar snaps isn't likely to be getting 60% of that..........he's likely to be getting the league minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s even lucky enough to get an nfl contract. I didn’t see much of anything out of him last season that would resemble a solid NFL DE. He’s VERY lucky to have another chance on this super bowl contending team making the pay check he’s making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't disagree with this conclusion for the Bills, but around the league I do observe that when a vet who has been productive switches teams and has an off year, he does usually seem to get the benefit of the doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 2 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Why is this a surprise I think actually, because of the trend I comment on above. Skura started all 16 games in 2018 and the first 11 games of 2019 at C for a team whose QB won MVP in 2018 and had a noted rushing game, and which went to the playoffs both years. Last season he started the first 9 games but struggled and had several botched C/QB exchanges before getting benched. But in the league, when a guy starts and has some success for a winning team, he tends to get the benefit of the doubt even if he has a down year or some struggles. That's what makes it a surprise.

Actually at least Houston got something for Shaq - where as Miami got nothing for Shaq except a player they cut. Miami nets zero Houston nets a 6th Jets get Shaq to fill snaps for very little.
