How many more?  And how many wrs you see getting jeresies on game day?

[HappyDays]

I see this as the analog of Chase Claypool last year. A talented athlete who hasn't been able to figure out the NFL game and has had questions about his attitude. I'm fine with it because he upgrades Shenault and Shavers but I don't have a ton of optimism.

Absolutely love it. The kid has real talent. Blessing to get somebody like that at this stage in April. 

It’s straight up hypocritical. Just be real, the board didn’t fall the way you thought it would. Maybe he was frustrated they didn’t get a receiver too….

The conversation that sent Beane was Jeremy telling Sal he was going to ask Beane why he undervalues wr compared to the rest of the league.   Beane didnt see value in the draft and brought in the best available FA instead.  Good business.

Beane going ham on those WGR guys and saying that "bitching about WR is the dumbest argument he's ever heard" and then immediately turning around and signing Elijah Moore is one of the funniest things that's ever happened.

As far as pure football: I like the signing. Moore had 500ish yards last year. He's a fast, functional NFL WR with separation ability, and is just 25 years old (somehow). I feel he rounds out our WR corps nicely.

If Jeremy and Joe think they’re entitled to a victory lap here, they’re high.

And just like that, the WR room looks a whole lot better. The league will now get a chance to see how good Moore can be when he has a competent QB.

Big fan of this.  Been on two bad teams with mid to poor QBs throwing to him. 

 

This could really be the spark that has him playing at a level many thought he was capable of coming out of Ole Miss and being drafted by the Jets at pick 34.

They should just the L and move on.  They have sounded like petulant losers for the last few days.  Coming up with excuses and trying to explain away the verbal beat down they took.

Well, it's a terrible signing. A smaller slower Curtis Samuel. This guy doesn't see the field if everyone stays healthy.  Can he be a returner?

Our 6th receiver competition is what was keeping you up at night about the WR room?

Welcome Elijah.  His wife must have liked Buffalo...  but then again, who doesn't???

 

Now we all need to work on Stephanie LaChance (Mitch Marner's wife) ......Josh and Hailee are key to this one.  Gotta get this young man on the Sabres.

With all due respect, the Sabres are  more likely to be rostering Mitch Trubisky than Mitch Marner.

 

 Unfortunately the Bills and Sabres are at opposite ends of the desirability spectrum and Marner is getting paid no matter where he ends up.

Smokescreen from the wizard Beane 😁

 

Go Bills!!

[BillsSbSoon]

Sneaky good signing. He’s never played with a qb like Josh

Good wr’s generally are still very good with bad to average qb play.

Yeah I don’t mind the move.

 

But these type of moves never seem to work out.

[nedboy7]

Most likely better than any Wr in the 5th we would have drafted.  BTW I definitely wanted a WR in the draft.

The easy thing to say would be that this is another retread that won’t play.
 

Whenever I’ve had a chance to watch a game in which Moore has played, he has always stood out. Therefore I am excited.
