I would like to see Meat Ball be hired as DL advisor and work with Oliver more. Oliver has that explosion off the line but he doesn’t have the timing that Meat Ball had. 


Im Surprised we haven’t seen him more at camp and practices.

Well,  the Oliver deal now looks more reasonable

 

 

 

Not really. There are no valid comparasions between these two guys. Williams is light years better than Oliver. Thus, the salary difference is valid.

Drafting the 8th best DL in the 2019 draft at #9 overall continues to be less than impressive.

 

This is the difference between us and the Bengals.

I agree but that stings a bit when you say it like that.

Quinnen Williams has one Great year in his career also

 

Olivers AV was higher every year besides this last year… 

 

If anything Williams played for a payday

Hoping this motivates Ed.
 he has a great season , Bill likely told him , we can look at this contract again.
My guess

But the contract for Ed looks designed as a motivator as much as a smart one :)

Come on man. Haven't you seen enough of Oliver that screams he's not elite. He's pretty good in my eyes but clearly hasn't lived up to his top ten pick. 

 

Williams is a beast and will be for years to come. An anchor on a defense. If you think Oliver is anywhere near his talent level I don't know what to say. I want to be respectful.

I don’t think I’m comparing them or once said Oliver was elite 

 

Williams did not do much for his first three years and  He wasn’t head and shoulders above Oliver … year 4 was the breakout

 

Williams broke out last year in a contract year which is always concerning… You say he’s going to be a machine for a long time but he absolutely can be Marcell Dareus

 

sure he’s better but it took years to break out…

Going to have to say that this is pretty accurate. 
 

We’ve seen what Chris Jones does for that KC defense.   Quinnen was out of our reach, but we had our chance to get that type of player and missed.  
 

We didn’t strike out.. but (thus far) we hit a double, when home runs were on the table.

I am going to suggest the jury is still out.
Lets see what the next few years show us.
As mentioned Quinnen had One heck of a season.

Three years into their careers, you could have said the same thing about Baker versus Josh.  The reality is that Ed is what he is…a pretty good but unremarkable DT.  There’s been zero indication that he has some heretofore untapped level of ability to be a dominant player, though.  There’s nothing wrong with that.  He’s going to have a long career in Buffalo, and he’ll be well regarded by the Bills Mafia 20 years from now and mostly forgotten by everyone else.

 

Quinnen Williams is a 25 year old emerging superstar that opposing DCs have to game plan around.  He got paid 40% more than Oliver, but he’s twice the player.

You know what’s more concerning than breaking out in a 4th season?  Having 4 years and never breaking out.

DT is a tough position … Ed has been on the cusp … he’s been dominate for stretches but the consistency isn’t there yet

 

And for the record I loved Quinnen Williams in college And thought he was the number 1 Dtackle… Lots of those guys lose their edge when They get paid though

 

Williams is definitely a monster tho

Let's be fair. Although I think Williams is the better player he didn't really break out until he got complimentary players around him on defense. Just like Ed, who played pretty well, though not at an elite level when Daquan and Von on the field. Oliver may very well end up being a bargain.

He's always been much better than Oliver from the get go. 

 

You compared him to Oliver which is like comparing a prune to a watermelon. Williams has size and strength that Oliver will never have. He might be close to being as quick too. 

 

I'm pretty sure almost every knowledgeable football fan would say Williams is a beast. Happy to have him on their team and pay the man. Everyone except you I guess...

 

Stop digging the hole...
