Your hypocrisy is relentless You're the dude here claiming Cook is a bust because he wasn't RB1 coming into the season, and you also can't prove there was ever an expectation he would immediately be RB1 when they drafted him. You clearly don't know what hypocrisy is either, since there's nothing even remotely hypocritical in what I said. 1 hour ago, Solomon Grundy said: Honestly, I don't think Motor thought he was RB1 going into the season I think the expectation was that Motor, Cook, and Moss would split time and that's what we got. Moss not so much. Beane drafting Cook was to make up for McKissic falling through. I don't think there was ever an expectation that McKissic was coming here to be the feature back. He was going to be used in the same manner Cook was, which was never became part of this offense this year with either Cook or Hines.

1onemangang7 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 8 minutes ago, Billz4ever said: So you really think the best RB in the draft and probably a top 5 talent overall is going to fall to near the bottom of round #1? I don't follow the thinking there since many teams will either fill by need, which some teams need a RB, or others will just take BPA. Either way, I don't see how that possibly translates into him falling to us. LMAO, come again? You're claiming they drafted Cook with expectations he would be RB1 from the start of the season and because he's not, that equals bust? *Citation needed which demonstrates that was ever the thinking when Beane drafted him. No. I based my reply on your theory of his use was to be limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a theory considering that's how the Bills use their RBs. You have not even come close to providing any evidence whatsoever that Cook was drafted to be the feature back in his rookie season. In fact, everything says otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocritical cause you argue that I win games with guys that never played a down in the NFL, then go on and on about Robinson is too good to be available.

He's not going to be one. The argument is to get one that is. Are you really this stupid?. I don't think you're ever going to understand me without sharpening up a bit. 3 minutes ago, Billz4ever said: Sorry fella, I've been asking you the same question FIRST that you have never answered, therefore, the hypocrisy starts and ends with you. LMAO, the bolded part doesn't even make sense since they aren't even remotely talking about the same thing. Robinson hasn't played an NFL game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly drafted a wr before Jefferson. They moved on and got Brown. It would help if the fan base wouldn't just accept every schmuck they put in uniform. Let em hear it. Every time you say cook a rookie is a bust you’re just showing your ignorance He could’ve had the worst season possible when he didn’t it was really starting to come on towards the end of the season, whenever he finally started getting carries, and you still couldn’t call my bust it was just his first year By the time the season was over, he was catching up to Singletary on carries Stop with this you’re making yourself look foolish Edited February 6, 2023 by John from Riverside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was highly rated in draft circles, but the "you don't draft RBs in the first rd", value crap affected his positioning. Same with JT28 But Hall wasn't ranked anywhere near as high as Robinson. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2022-nfl-draft-board-big-board. Hall was 57 here. Robinson is 18. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/2022-nfl-draft-big-board-top-50-prospects-w0/. Hall was 33 here. Robinson is 4.

They hear it from Parcells though and agree. 2 minutes ago, Billz4ever said: Anyone that watched the whooping the Bills took against Cincy and their #1 takeaway from that game was that we need to draft a RB in the first round this year has some screws loose. A run game solves a lot and preserves your qb. Your home field in your conditions and the visitor knew to run. Buffalo can't. They don't have the personnel. 17 would be it. 5 minutes ago, Billz4ever said: Anyone that watched the whooping the Bills took against Cincy and their #1 takeaway from that game was that we need to draft a RB in the first round this year has some screws loose.

NewEra Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 1 hour ago, 1onemangang7 said: Dorsey worked with what he had. Josh Allen . Blame the gm. You applaud his moves then scape on the oc. I don't need to argue about it. The guy can't carry 25 times a game without breaking down. He's too small. You just don't get it. You wanna pick on an OL that's good enough to make them odds on favorites but no help for the backfield. Dorsey didn’t even try and incorporate what he had. Going into the offseason, adding a RB with plus receiving ability and RAC was a big priority. So much so, they offered JD McKissic 2 year 7M. Word is chase Edmonds almost signed here before Miami. So Beane drafts cook. The best receiving rb in the class. We clearly wanted to build up our short game. Teams want to take away Diggs and play the shell would now pay because we could hit the short pass and take it for 6-12 yards. That’s what we all expected. great idea. too bad it was just an idea in our and Beanes head. Dorsey didn’t use the backs to the best their abilities.

The O-Line got thoroughly embarrassed that game. To think you can have an effective run game without an effective O-Line is laughable. Allen runs behind that line on designed runs just fine . Then the head coach and gm say he takes too many hits. No OL is gonna make holes big enough for cook to wear down a defense. The philosophy of undersized backs has to change.

But you’re entitled to your opinion I thought the McKissic fiasco made it obvious what type of back Beane wanted. Apparently, it wasn't quite so obvious to some. Then, there's zero attempt to add that piece to the offense. Even after the addition of Hines, it never happened. I think it's safe to say Beane had more in-mind for Hines than just returning kicks. 25 minutes ago, 1onemangang7 said: Allen runs behind that line on designed runs just fine .

They've kept a stable for quite some time now Most of Allen's runs are scrambles out of the pocket after protection breaks down or he can't find a receiver, so please stop trying to make it sound like Allen's yardage all from designed QB runs.

Which makes this whole thing all the more weird. Beane is essentially admitting there's a disconnect between the players he's bringing in and then what that translates to in Dorsey's offense. Seems almost certain Dorsey is coming back, so I really hope they get on the same page because the draft could be disastrous if they aren't.
