Dak gets flak because he, just like Jared Goff, have wilted in the postseason.

 

But he’s a very good QB.

Never understood the Dak hate either personally. If we didn’t have Josh, I’d take him in a heartbeat.

Lots of folks are of the opinion that if you don’t have a surefire HoF QB, you shouldn’t pay a very good one.

I'm guessing that during his draft year, Pickens wasn't given the "Bills Blue" designation...

 

The Buffalo Bills assign a "Bills Blue" designation to draft prospects who demonstrate 

high character and strong personal qualities, regardless of their talent or draft round. 

Known Bills draftees who have received this designation include:

Josh Allen (QB, 2018 first-round pick)

Harrison Phillips (DL, 2018 third-round pick)

Dalton Kincaid (TE, 2023 first-round pick)

Maxwell Hairston (CB, 2025 first-round pick)

Landon Jackson (DE, 2025 third-round pick)

Deone Walker (DT, 2025 fifth-round pick)

Dorian Strong (CB, 2025 sixth-round pick) 

 

He has reported issue at Georgia. Bills should have all the inside info from James Cook. Like most said, paying him big time is high risk. But I’d say the bills should’ve drafted him, like the Steelers did. Get the value out of him and then trade him for a high pick. For a team like the bills, that might be the only way to get over-the-top talent. 

Remember last year he refused to run clearing routes, half hearted at blocking, would not go after teammates fumbles etc for the reason of not getting himself injured?

"On Thursday night, something seemed off. Targeted nine times, Pickens had five catches for only 37 yards. It was his lowest yardage output since Week 1, when he caught three passes for 30 yards against the Eagles.

 

The other issue was his demeanor. He seemed to be, at times, a little disinterested. He seemed to be, at times, a little disengaged. On one play, when the pass was thrown his way, he seemed to run his route half-heartedly. And it appeared that quarterback Dak Prescott had something to say to him about it."

He’s an incredibly talented player but he has always been like this even as a rookie. We played him I think in Picketts first start and I’ve never seen such a lazy WR when the ball wasn’t coming his way. 
 

He now has his whole demeanor as a Steeler being bad, this coming out about him now, and he was benched when they were in Vegas for missing curfew. Someone is going to pay him a ton of money but it won’t be the Bills
