Simon Says Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 McGovern,because he is expected to start. If Kyle Allen has to start a game or two,and does well.. I could change my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed a legit WR. We got Hines, Harty and McK for that price. I would have cut Hines, not signed Harty and gone after one of the wr available. 2 minutes ago, Draconator said: As of right now, McGovern. The final chapter of this off-season has yet to be written.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I voted Harty. He adds the dimension that the Bills were missing. McGovern will play the most snaps but Harty will make the biggest impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Summary Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 McGovern, but at best I'm happy, rather than excited to have him. "Not a power player", "Won't move people" I'll take his pass pro skills but I want better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balln Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The most impactful has been NOT to sign edmunds. And it’s the right move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillMafia716ix Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 None of our signings move the needle for me. Losing Edmunds hurt. Missing out on Lavonte David hurts. We haven’t gotten better so far this free agency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyMark Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Objectively, our OL has gotten better by signing McGovern. He is an instant upgrade over Saffold. If everything else remains the same (and it may not) our OL is better due to that one simple signing. I do not know enough about Kyle Allen versus Case Keenum to say if our back-up QB "room" got better or not, yet even if it did OL is more important than backup QB. Finally, I do think Harty is an upgrade over McKenzie but that (IMO),overall, does not necessarily make our WR group better to the same extent McGovern instantly elevates our OL in a substantial manner. Saffold was that bad last year. He literally may have been the lowest rated OL in the league and the amount of times he literally spectated instead of blocked was equally comical, inexcusable, and sad. Fun question and hopefully we will have different answers in 1-2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the words so far So first of all, we need to address this from the position where we were at going into last season favorites to win the Super Bowl, and ended up with a 13 and three record So Resigning players matters, so for everyone, that’s not, including Jordan in the signings you also need to take that into consideration and bringing back Hines we know what our return game is going to look like There is no guarantee that any of these free agents that are being signed to these teams are gonna be better or make the teams better to the ones that they’re going to none. We see free agents flame out every year after being spent massive amounts of money on them. We do however, know what we have on our team So what were the weak links? Saffold replaced Back up quarterback push Wide, receiver, unknown Linebacker needs to be addressed Pass rush needs to be addressed Right tackle needs to be addressed running back needs to be addressed The off-season continues Edited March 16, 2023 by John from Riverside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding someone who's able to replace Saffold and upgrade the pass protection will move Josh's needle. Now let's work on finding Spencer's replacement. The Harty signing is a little of an overpay but hopefully Ken won't shi# the bed finding a intelligent way to use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyo321 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) The most impactful signing wont even be on our team, but will be in the AFCE. It will be when the Jets sign Rodgers. This entire division has gotten real, in just two years. There will be no layup games in this division anymore.

GreggTX Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Connor McGovern will have the most impact if, as I fear, he starts. Unfortunately, his impact won't be positive. He's also overpaid and taking up a roster spot. I'm still hoping we sign a quality OL and Harty can do a good job on punt returns so I voted for him. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Yeah, would have to go with McGovern. He will likely be our starting right guard. Supposed to be an excellent pass blocker, so-so run blocker. But, barring anything unexpected, you can already pencil him in as a starter. Not a knock on our coaches (ok, maybe a little) but Harty could be a great weapon, or like other guys they have brought in, he could have almost no opportunities, or much impact. Not even necessarily a reflection on the player, but our coaching staff and their reluctance sometimes, to try to get more out of the tools they have at their disposal.

Chaos Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Initially this was intended to be a bit tongue in cheek. I had assumed that this first phase of free agency may have seen more activity. But I guess as the first phase of free agency concludes, Conner McGovern is our big move, with a couple of million of cap space left for a small move and enought cap to sign the draft picks. Really hopeful that Elam, Cook, and Benard can have first second and third round rookie impact in their second seasons. If that happens (and white returns to preinjury levels, and Miller comes back to pre injury levels) we should be considered championship contenders.

With a 52.2 grade from pff last season, not sure McGovern gives me anything to smile about. Upgrade from Saffold sure, but Ike is an upgrade over Saffold as well ( barring he stays healthy). Not really excited over any FA'S we've gotten so far. Almost Happy we re-signed a couple of our own though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 McGovern was rated 64th out of 77 Guards last season, great pickup. If there's one thing Beane is a wizard at its finding offensive line talent. Let's all get behind the new starting guard and pretend he is going to be good all offseason. When it turns out he sucks we can attribute it to the need for continuity and time required to gel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Bills are still a passing team, no matter how much fans think running still leads to success in the NFL. Interesting. 13th in pass blocking and 64th overall? He must be the worst run blocker in the entire NFL if that is true. What was Seumalo's pass block rank? From PFF last season BETTER PASS PRO THAN RUN BLOCKERS ANDREW NORWELL, WASHINGTON COMMANDERS ISAAC SEUMALO, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES KEVIN DOTSON, PITTSBURGH STEELERS JUSTIN PUGH, ARIZONA CARDINALS DALTON RISNER, DENVER BRONCOS Evidently Seumalo is also a better pass blocker than run blocker, and he's 10th overall compared to 64th for McGov, which means he is also a very good run blocker. Spin it any way you want, the Bills overpaid and missed out on a much more talented lineman. Last year a bunch of folks got excited about Rodger Saffold. I wasn't one of them. I said he sucked, and he did. The ***** line needs talent. Once again it looks like plug in some crap and hope for the best. Unbelievable to me that Allen is on his second contract and they still haven't given him a decent line. That should have been the first priority imo.

Wizard Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Damien Harris so far. I can always hope it is Bobby Wagner and Isaac Seamulo. Bates and Boettger are serviceable backups to me. Besides Milano, every Bills linebacker is at best a backup and/or limited to a few special teams packages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Impossible to say. You could argue last season at this point aside from Von Miller it would be Saffold and he turned out to be a turnstile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
