Give Edmunds props


The Red King

Recommended Posts

 

Edmunds is playing at a level NOW.......in year 5........that he should have been playing at in year 2 or 3 based on his draft pedigree.

 

When you draft uninstinctive players that take a long time to develop you end up having to make late decisions on said player and they are more likely to end up elsewhere.

 

He still has tons of room to improve as a playmaker and pass rusher but he will likely be doing that elsewhere..........and for $20M per year.........that's fine with me.

 

I've never once thought......"how will this opponent deal with Edmunds"........he's not been that kind of player and an excellent game versus Skylar Thompson isn't an excellent game against Mahomes or Burrow etc..

This is the most maddening thing.

4 years of a wasted rookie contract on a premier draft pick who's going to play his best football somewhere else. :wallbash:

I have to believe most Bills fans have not played organized football. Edmunds is a burden on this team. No instincts and is a danger to our own players with his constant late arrivals.

 

So you don't think he had a great game today?  Because that's all this thread is about.

He missed a lot of plays too.  He's nowhere near worth the money he will command this offseason.

 

I just pray Beane sees it that way...he's a smart guy, so I have confidence he will.

 

👍

Bad take.

He had 4 tackles.

 

He is a good player.

 

He is not worth a 100 million dollar contract.

 

 

.

He broke up a huge pass to giesecki which was potentially game changing and had two other important pass breakups too. And you’re focused on *tackles*?!?

Oh my god...

 

READ THE ORIGINAL POST, PEOPLE!

 

THIS IS ABOUT TODAY'S GAME ONLY!  NOT HIS PERFORMANCE SINCE HE WAS DRAFTED.  NOT HIS PERFORMACE THIS SEASON.  JUST...TODAY.

 

For all of you that read my OP and responded on-topic, thank you.  For those that did not and just knee-jerk replied completely off-topic, go and learn how thread titles and OP actually gives you an idea as to the point of the thread and what the subjects of discussion should be.

 

Sorry for yelling, but I'm getting sick of people not even reading my initial post and then just rambling off-topic.

 

Should I use smaller words?  Ahem...

 

Edmunds good this game.  Don't care what you think rest of time.  You think he play good this game only, too?

 

Edmunds is two syllables, so I hope that doesn't throw people off.  I can't make this any easier, people.

No.  
 

I am “focused” on my 2nd and 3rd line, that you skipped 

 

Edmunds had a good game today 

 

He is a very good player, but not elite 

 

(way too inconsistent)

 

certainly not deserving of a hundred million dollar contract

Helluva game today. Pretty simple.

We had a game balls thread where you could have shared your thoughts on his play TODAY.     Plenty of players had very strong games.

 

Only an idiot would think that starting a dedicated thread about his performance in a game against a lousy rookie QB would become a discussion about the big picture of his play or his future with the Bills.

You realize he’s 24 years old right? Aaron Judge didn’t do a damn thing in the pros until he was 25. Edmunds came into the league so young (19) that the assessments in my view have always been wildly off base. He’s elite now, and still very young.

If someone is not interested in the specific topic they could, you know, not reply at all.  Crazy talk, I know. 🙄

Then they shouldn't have wasted two picks on him, imo

Oh, and you're absolutely right.  Only an idiot would think this thread would become a discussion about the big picture.  I'm not an idiot, so I never thought it would happen, thank you.

 

(Lesson here: If you are going to call someone an idiot, you'd best not screw up your own post.)

Okay, I know some on the board has been harsh on him, in a lot of cases rightfully deserved.  But can we take a moment and all agree he had a monster game today, making big plays at just the right time?  The critics among you can keep your opinion, but even you have to admit for this game at least he was clutch.

its lovely when youre used to expecting solid, and get honeybadger. THIIIS is the guy we signed up to draft!!! scary to sign him and have him regress to the means, but risk im willing to take up to a point. i think he takes a fair deal and stays, because hed start back at square one in a lot of nfl schemes.

Emunds is the worlds largest safety.  Given the system we play he's exactly what the coaches want.  They threw the ball 45 times so Edmunds was right in his element.

hes a giant swedish putt putt windmill, obstructing all throwing lanes, then a heat seaking missle after release.  his price is going to hurt, but its been a fundamental piece to mcds defense. if we hate paying him now, how much will we hate moving up half a round to try and develop a raw clone. ouch

 

both sides have good leverage here, both sides know it. git er done, and lets see more of today going forward

But had 2 key missed tackles today, including one that extended dolphins scoring drive. 

his biggest positive nets go unnoticed, the way champ bailey s stat line looked like he rode pine all year

Reformed Edmunds Detractor here. I'm all for re-signing him at his market value at this point. The drop off to the next guy is severe, and still will be even if we draft his replacement in the 1st round. And his position is the most important in McD's defense.

 

Give Edmunds something similar to the recent Roquan Smith contract. 5/$100
