So let's not get carried away with how much better it makes you as a team to improve your RB position by a quarter of a yard per touch. If this weren't the case then the last 20+ years wouldn't have been so hard on teams that put a high priority on the value of their RB's. I don’t disagree, and I’m not pushing huge chips in with getting him but do think some folks were getting carried away the opposite direction.

There's a reason Cook is the only RB to score a rushing TD this year - speed matters in the red zone. The Bills proved tonight they are capable of beating the Chiefs even when Mahomes is playing well. BUT they didn't prove that a Super Bowl appearance is all but guaranteed. McCaffrey puts us over the top. Get it done. And OBJ. IDC it's about winning the Superbowl this year - Diggs Davis OBJ and CMC burn it all this season 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy to say post snap where, but we do not know what the pre snap call was. So not really fair to put it on Devin if you don't know that Devin even made a mistake. Allen gushed about Devin in his post game presser too. And Devin made a lot of important plays for us today, and that is both from watching the game and listening to Josh give him high praise today. He's supposed to. He's the leader of the team. He'd probably praise Spencer Brown too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s “add noone or add CMC,” then I lean to add CMC Basically OBJ is worth about 5 more yards per touch over his career than Lil' Dummy McKenzie. So yeah..........if that gets Dummy off the field then that addition makes A LOT of sense. Upgrading from Singletary's 5.1 yards per touch over the last 3 seasons with McCaffrey's 5.3............I mean who gives a f*ck about that minutia.........those numbers are insignificant. A pittance of difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singletary is 4.9 yards per touch to McCaffrey’s 5.4 in the last three seasons. Edited October 17, 2022 by FireChans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a macro perspective, a WR is always going to have a larger impact at YPT than an RB. The average yards per play are going to be vastly different. But a star RB is always gonna have WAY more touches than a star WR. Hell Singletary had 100 more touches than Diggs last year lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 IMO we are in year 2 of a 4 year window to win the SB. I mean a great chance to win the SB. So management should do what they need to do to make this team as strong as possible. Don't give up multiple 1st round picks but anything somewhat reasonable should be in play. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that a fraction of a yard difference per touch between RB's is.........big? Because both are just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m implying their investments at RB haven’t born fruit, because, well obviously. and the differences in yards per touch are not as weighted as low as you want to make them, because RB’s touch the ball a lot more than WR’s.

gflande1 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I honestly wouldn’t want them sending any picks. With his current contract, it’s a one year deal. We’d either have to let him walk or renegotiate a better deal. With the bills current cap situation, it’s likely they’ll have to let a few players leave after this season, which means we need every pick in the draft. The teams future is in the draft with all the big money contracts we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Apparently Cam Akers is likely to be dealt out of LA. I liked him a lot from what I saw in the playoffs last year. I'm happy enough with motor but Cam's my guy if we're shopping. Young, not much mileage, rookie deal, runs like a maniac Edited October 17, 2022 by FormerlyPT5P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
