Keon WTF?

Obviously fans admitting sooner or later on a player has no effect and I don't think it was completely unreasonable to think a player coming off a rookie season can't get better.  Especially if he's working as hard as Keon has.

 

I've just seen enough.  He doesn't have the coordination to play in the league, especially on a supposed super bowl contender.

They managed to bungle the most important draft since Josh. It was, arguably, the greatest WR draft in history. You just dealt your number 1 and had a glaring void at the top of the depth chart. You HAD to get it right. You could have went up aggressively for one of the big 3. You could have went up some for BTJ. You could have picked where you did or around where you did and taken: Worthy, Pearsall, Coleman, Legette, Polk, AD Mitchell or McConkey (or even some other guys).

 

No matter what though, you HAD to be right. The Bills traded down TWICE and took Keon. They clearly weren’t convicted on any of the guys or they would have pulled the trigger. They took a guy with extreme limitations that would be overcoming math with his separation rates in college. It was a foolish pick even if it worked. The Bills HAD to pick a guy that would be good no matter what (Worthy or McConkey). They might not reach great but the Bills didn’t have the luxury to gamble. They needed a guy to be a contributor immediately. The IDEA of Keon was as flawed as the player.

Boogie Basham was a 2nd rounder and played 23 games for us before being traded.

the trade value right now for Keon Coleman?

 

 

That has GOT to be low. I couldn't even guess what his value would be

We agree.  I stated, that they put far too much emphasis on character.  The (albeit very funny) joke, IMO, sealed it for them.  Then probably back filled themselves from there to liking him more.

 

He's a hindrance to the offense and I would largely get him off the field.  Maybe bring him in on rushing plays, as I think he's a good blocker.

Last post off my ban and last before I log off. 
 

I’ve never felt so vindicated as I have with the Coleman pick. And it’s worse than I ever could have thought.

 

What a complete joke. The guy is 6-foot-4, 215 pounds and somehow manages to get boxed out of bounds by cornerbacks four inches and 25 pounds lighter than him. 

He offers NOTHING to this team. He’s a jackass. He gets benched for being one. He doesn’t separate. He doesn’t beat defenders in one-on-one opportunities. 
 

A complete joke of a player. Glad he wore a stupid silly coat for a press conference because that’s been the highlight of his time with Buffalo.
