gobills404 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: those mean old stupid coaches benched him when he's the "best player on the team" You purposefully left out the "with the ball in his hands" to twist what I said 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Meanwhile, McKenzie had 20 receptions for 178 yds which is 9 ypc, plus 9 rushes for 47 yds which is 5.2 ypc or more than Breida, and the same number of fumbles as Breida. But "he's nothing more than a gadget player" SMDH. Where is the logic? Breida had more yards per touch and yards per game than McKenzie. He did more with the opportunities he was given. You just cherry picked certain numbers to support your point. 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: But if you want to have a man-crush on an underutilized Bills player Are you Breida's mom or his agent or something? Gotta remember to throw in some snide remarks because heaven forbid I gave a football opinion that you disagreed with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll definitely test the open market for sure like last year, but I don’t feel like his value at WR has increased. If he was unhappy with last years offers, this years won’t be any better. He could probably get a better opportunity to prove himself elsewhere. Certainly with Gabe Davis now demanding touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 1 hour ago, BullBuchanan said: Because that's exactly what Beasley is - he's just a guy and always has been. On top of that he's extremely expensive on a cash strapped team (we save over $7M by cutting him), and he's old. He's the definition of a cap-casualty Also, Kupp in his worst season was better than Beasley's best. 1 hour ago, HamptonBillsfan said: He's just a guy. He had just under 1000 yds last year for a Division winner who went to the AFC championship. His career #s are similar to Kupps prior to this year. Kupp had a good year when they went to the SB, but otherwise similar. The Kupp-Beasley comparison is Looney Tunes, I love it. Beas is going to be 33 and he's down in nearly every single statistical category this year despite having an absolute beast at QB. Take a look at some of the other undersized slot receivers when they enter their 30's, the dropoff is sudden. Anyone who watches the A22 will tell you the explosiveness is not there anymore. Sanders and Beas are going away, it's time to get younger at the position. Go after Berrios, Godwin, draft Jameson Williams if he falls to us, etc, but get someone young who can gel with Josh for the next 4-5 years.

The Kupp was merely that they were both dependable slot receivers. Obviously this year Kupp became #1 and had an MVP type season. I got inundated with Beasley haters after the comp. If you want a guy like Godwin, you're in a different stratosphere money wise. Williams will not be available. Trust and toughness along with availability means a lot more than age to winning football teams. Ask Rogers above demanding Cobb back,or Woods in LA.

letsgoteam Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 7 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: IMHO, McKenzie is one of those "replaceable" guys that the Bills keep trying to replace - and failing to find a better option. This season, Breida and Stevenson were supposed to replace him. How'd that work out? Without reading all the pages (currently up to page 7, and this is my first time reading the thread) I totally agree. Lots of teams will try to get cute and save a little bit of money or just think they can "improve". Then half way through the season, they wonder why the flowers in the locker room are dying (that guy would water them each week LOL) and why the gate never gets locked at night (he was also doing that too). 29 minutes ago, Estro said: He'll be a Giant, so will Levi Wallace.

Isaiah dug his own ST grave. May be true, but doubt McKenzie sees it that way. Likely he blames Mcd. McD's comments after the one game where he kind of called out McKenzie also didn't help. So wouldn't be surprised if he is all in on moving on even if means taking a little less money. IMO be surprised if he's back, but hope he is.

BigAl2526 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It's unlikely the Bills keep both Beasley and McKenzie. Between the two, age and versatility tips my preference to McKenzie. Stevenson is also a consideration. His reps were somewhat limited this season and he made an error here and there, but he was a rookie. I think he has plenty of untapped upside.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I actually dont think it means hes leaving at all.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It could be so, but I think people are over-interpreting a tweet of Thanks to Josh Allen. McKenzie still sounds pretty invested in the Bills: Ty Dunne's piece about McKenzie revealed that after being a mediocre HS and college student, he now reads all the time, including the psychology texts he didn't read as a student, so he knows whereof he speaks.

CorkScrewHill Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) so either Isaiah is trying to get one last favor from Bills mafia or he is open to returning. Either way, he has been a good Buffalo Bill and he does have nice dance moves .. so a little support would not hurt. Isaiah did retweet this .. so it is a legit favor request.

SoMAn Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I trust that Beane and McDermott know what they're doing. It's not like McKenzie is irreplaceable. When Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson were not retained a couple of years ago some thought that the Bills may have made a mistake. What's been the trajectory of their respective careers? Goodby John Brown, hello Sanders. If you're worried about losing these role players, don't buy the jerseys! Other than Josh, Stephon, Tre'White, Poyer, Hyde, Milano, Knox, Dawkins, there are only a handful of other players on the Bills' roster that couldn't be replaced quickly through the draft and FA. McKenzie's skills are valuable, but not unique. It would be a shame for us to lose the self-described 'face of the franchise', but Josh's escalating salary will make for some tough decisions in the coming months and years.

BuffaloRebound Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I really hope McBeane is thinking bigger. With Josh taking the leap to superstardom, free agents will want in. There will be a lot of upgrade opportunities and guys willing to play here for under market value.

JoshAllin Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 If they don't keep him I hope they find someone who will produce well vs NE since they play them twice a year.
