I really don't understand why Beane rushed to re-sign a depth safety. In a very team-friendly market we could have afforded to wait. Watch how Poyer goes next year … this could be an overpay by Week 6… Also … Rapp is S1 at the moment Edited March 13 by Aussie Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s super weird that him and his wife had a discussion about where he was going to play next….like literally every other married player in the league. Obviously we have never heard of a player at the end of his career sign with the team in the city he lives in 🤦♂️🤦♂️ 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 31 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Not really a fair comparison as Poyer is obviously taking a discount to play where he lives. Discount? I doubt that. One thing about Poyer is he doesn't leave money on the table. This is backup money for a fading vet with a looooong history of injuries. At that rate it's not even a guarantee he makes the final roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Super Fan Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Jordan Poyer did the Thurman Thomas and like Thomas Poyer is on the down side of his long NFL career. Stuff like this is why the Miami Dolphins aren’t winning anything in the AFC East signing washed up NFL players. As a Buffalo Bills fan I am not really concerned or surprised Poyer went to the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins make signings like that players in the twilight of their NFL career 2 years too late on Poyer in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Good for him that he gets to land somewhere if he wanted to keep playing. We know by watching him over the last couple years that, while he plays with heart, he just can't run anymore. He plays through it, but he gets banged up easier as well. It's going to be tough seeing him wear those ugly threads, but he's not a safety anyone fears or has to gameplan for anymore. Hope he stays healthy and wins about 5 games this season.

I was a "mixalcholic" whose job was to mix drinks for any drink not mixed in large batches at club. I got myself a recipe book which had drink instructions on a page and opposite page I wrote a joke which I would tell buyer which tended to have people come back with a different drink order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeby Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) So many dissing poyer as old and done, but maybe his real gift to the phins is his knowledge of the Bills. Aside - for all the haters - see Thurman Thomas. Edit - story back then has it that Thurman shared with the phins that year to put cayenne powder in yer socks to chemical burn and keep toes warm. I've never tried this and not sure if a good idea or even a true story but it stuck in my memory from that season.

Utah John Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Reminds me of Thurman Thomas signing with the Dolphins for a season after he (and Bruce and Andre) were all cut on the same day. A little of it was spite and wounded pride, and more of it was a desire to show the league he still Had It (but he didn't). In Poyer's case, I think it's likely that his wife talked him into taking the Miami gig so she could work on her tan more months of the year. Plus the club scene. Both players were outstanding Bills and should be thanked for their years of service. It will seem strange to see Poyer lining up in those party costume uniforms but I won't hold it against him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeby Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Rumor had it back then that Marv would have likely let Bruce play his final season as a bill if Bruce had not locked Marv inside a Porta potty as a joke. I will say to that, Marv allowed mark kelso to remain a bill safety for two years as the likely worst safety in nfl history. Post concussion he outright refused to tackle. Not blaming Mark- but Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepeSilvia Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Can’t wait to seen him diving at ankles, laying on his face staring up at someone catching/running for a first down or td.

benderbender Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If you’re upset with Poyer, just focus on when fans gave him grief for his health opinions, then criticized his wife for her politics, then crapped on him for his charity event. To which he responded by playing through injuries including a collapsed lung and having the best years of his career. But yeah what a jerk, huh? 2 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he signed a 2 year contract in Buffalo, it was clearly stated his intention was to "retire a Bill". I don't believe he wanted to be released. I do believe, depending upon who they sign, the Bills made the right move. If our starting safeties wind up as Taylor Rapp and Cam Lewis or Damar Hamlin, I'll think it's a mistake.
