That is just it...there have been VERY FEW real rumors for the most part. People keep reading tweets by nobody's saying he would be a good fit, or I bet the Bills would be or should be calling...and then coming onto the boards and falsely associating that as "rumors" the Bills are interested. I would say at best, like 1 out of every 10-15 rumors I have seen yesterday and today regarding the Bills interest in a player at any position have actually been from a credible source reporting Bills interest on a player. The rest are coming from fake posts, or falsely thinking some randos comment on twitter is somehow a rumor linking the Bills to said player. Its mind blowing how many people here keep regurgitating nonsense as rumor. A few were legitimately fooled by fake accounts posting fake info, but most see any dumb tweet as a rumor.

Thrivefourfive Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Are we really saying Ekeler doesn’t fit? You make him fit. It’s what coaches are supposed to do — make your best players the best they can be. That’s like saying we don’t know how Allen fits. With #30, Allen can go deep all he wants, Ekeler would own everything from the line of scrimmage to the sticks. Look how great he’s been with the Chargers. He should be even better if on the Bills. The offense would be sooo good with Ekeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Once again....the complaining about the possibility of adding elite talent to the roster. You NEED elite talent to win a Super Bowl. This team only has a few elite players right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good short yardage back. He’s a bad man. James Cook will be his backup and hopefully play some slot-wing. Hopefully taking some of Mckenzies plays. Hines- returner - gadgets- RB3 he fits just fine….. minus the salary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills aren't aware there is a screen play. If they did it....would certainly hope they could figure out how to use him Edited March 14 by Warriorspikes51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hines- returner - gadgets- RB3 he fits just fine….. minus the salary I agree with this, however, the two lingering questions for me is how effective can he be in the bad weather in Buffalo and what is the money he is seeking that is making LAC make him available in the first place. Speed and agility gets neutralized to a degree in those snowy or wet games. We really struggled with chewing clock, extending drives, short yardage, redzone, and bad weather games when it came to running the ball. We can't just keep relying on Allen to take the physical pounding to shoulder the majority of that load. So while Ekeler would be a major weapon for sure for this offense, I would still be concerned we won't be physical enough of a team. And I watched a lot of Chargers games here, their lack of physicality hurt them frequently, and they didn't even have the cold weather issue. With our bad weather, I would only be concerned about remaining too much of a high octane finesse team. Don't get me wrong, Ekeler in this offense would be an exciting add I would not complain about. But I would be lying if I said I wouldn't still be worried about being too much of a high octane finesse team while playing in a stadium at home whose weather often neutralizes those aspects of a team.

JohnNord Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just now, NewEra said: Yeah- the only problem would be our QB (and OC) getting him the ball in the pass game. man’s if we can’t- he’s not worth the $ or trading of a pick My concern as well. Cook’s speciality out of college was as a pass catcher and he hardly got any targets. Same can be said for Hines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying I want him. I’m just saying that he fits just fine. I think we should allocate the the money we’d have to pay him and the draft picks to trade for him into the OL and WR. But if we traded for him, I’d be excited to watch him play for us while we try and win super bowls. While be subject to the whining and crying of the sadness brigade: “Beane didn’t do what I want!”, “Cancel Beane now”!!! He’s a great player and would definitely be a great asset for our offense. Especially if Dorsey could find a way to use cook and ekeler in the lineup at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still worry about us not being physical enough in moving the chains, the redzone, and bad weather. I would much rather spend the money like you said on OL and WR and then get a guy like Jamaal Williams to compliment Cook and Hines. That being said, I would still be quite excited about Ekeler if we got him, he is a dynamic player. Just think spreading the money elsewhere and getting a physical back to compliment our guys here already moves the needle more overall for this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
