He’s got the talent to get on the field ahead of some of these career backups. What a miss by a GM who usually does his due diligence. Yep, a rare total bust on beane's drafting resume. A first rounder who cant crack the starting line up in Year 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get a 5th for him, it’s better than paying him to stand on the sideline in street clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way to know but I would absolutely love a starter type RT or a speed WR with good hands in return.

He’s got to be a stubborn dude, because you know his representation, family is begging him to do what’s ever humanly possible to get out of Sean’s doghouse.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree because it isn't. He is one injury away from being on the active roster, and the 3 guys in front of him have been injured before During the offseason perhaps that is a different discussion, but right now, the team should much rather want to pay him to be in street clothes than ship him off to another team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoofHearted Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'm at a total loss for why people thought this would be his week. Equally at a loss as to why people can't grasp that he is a boundary corner who doesn't play special teams. It's a numbers thing with him.

Nitro Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Not even activating Elam, the best Bills CB against the Dolphins last year, is a tactical error. They need to move him if they are not going to play him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Tanking his market value like this is crazy. It's probably already toast, but still. Elam is an NFL caliber player. I think it's in the bills best interest not to trade him for peanuts, but to hang on to him until we need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone think he was worth the first pick in the second round? No way. Sometimes teams panic and hopefully Beane is on the phones trying to find the best return.

BBFL Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Let’s say this is a common occurrence for the remainder of the season, do we move on from Kaiir or hold onto him for insurance in the event we don’t resign Dane in 2024? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Unless there's some super patient plan that they're just going to hold on to Elam until they can let White go for cap savings this is pretty frustrating right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMannn Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'm not surprised Elam wasn't active today. His lack of experience and playing time, he's not going up against the best wr pair in the league. But just the same this is a bad trend for a #1 pick. Idk his future now unless a CB goes down and Elam tears it up good. The special teams thing, I'm sure you could coach him up for that in 1-2 weeks tops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous that in two years he can’t convince the coaching staff that he can make an impact on the game day 53….or… is that this is issue is because the Beane team whiffed on their assessment of him. we might have to admit, we ***** up our first found pick last year.
