They had to think Bates was a total bottom feeder to not start him during that mid-season stretch when the entire interior oline was getting blown up every week.

It's the season under "Best Season" in my post aka 2020. I did not differentiate between QBs. That is not how stats work.

Punching Bag Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 3 hours ago, Buftex said: I wonder, did Beane overplay his hand with Bates at all? He probably could have offered him less, and he would have been happy to sign a contract, knowing that he was was returning. But he let Bates go out and find another team to draw up a contract for him. It looks as though the Bears structured a deal they didn't think the Bills would match. Glad he is back, but wondering if this is one of those few times where Beane got a little too cocky. No this is Beane's philosophy - players have earned right to free agency. If agent approached Beane with numbers the Bills would have done a contract with him. Bates got some free hotel stays, meals and frequent flyer miles in off season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, Doc said: Actually Crowder's best season was in 2016 (67, 847, 12.6, 7, 67.7%, don't know). And it was better than Beasley's best season prior to joining the Bills. The question is staying healthy. The two seasons are pretty close. I went with 2019 personally because more catches and my own bias that I watched every jets game with him and he put that team on his back. You're probably correct that while he fewer catches, he had 1 more TD, 14 more yards and 3.8% higher catch percent in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 yeah 4 years sounds execessive but at least 1 is a void year and is he the replacement center for Morse in 1-2 years...hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the bigger point is his best season pre-Josh was better than Bease's was pre-Josh, and Josh can certainly do for him what he did for Bease. Hopefully the training staff does their best with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo44 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Beasley absolutely didn’t fall off a cliff last year - he never had any speed to begin with. Some fans like to justify a player Leaving by saying such things. My opinion is the Bills grew a bit sick of his antics and Beasley didn’t like some of the backlash he got from the public. Fresh start for both I suppose 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 The point on Crowder/Beasley was whether Crowder is considered an upgrade or not. The stats seem to indicate a wash, at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh start for both I suppose The stats speak for themselves. You should take a look. Beasley fell off a cliff (that's not to say he wasn't effective, but compared to previous seasons.. there was a stark difference). Whatever the Bills felt about him off the field, they replaced his production for about half the cost with a younger player which strikes me of much greater interest to them.

But, I think in a perfect world they would have wanted to see one more years worth of production before committing to the $8m, hence the 2nd round tender. This does not compute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that I think about it, I wonder if this was what Beane wanted all along. He wanted Bates to sign a long term deal with another team so that he could get Bates locked up long term at what his market is now after a small sample size. As opposed to what he perceives his market will be after a full year as a starter. 5-D Chess out hereeeeeeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
