1 year anniversary of Amari Cooper trade

[Pete]

It’s that time of the year, when Beane realizes Josh needs better WRs, and makes a trade for a WR.  I expect a move the next week, if we are trying to win this year 

[Livinginthepast]

Was Cooper done before he got here? Or was there still something in the tank? Either way we didnt get much out of him? Was that due to Brady's inability to use him or Cooper's somewhat detached attitude?

The ability was still there, the want to play football wasnt.   He was one year off a 1,000 yard season.

Cooper also got hurt as soon as he became a Bill.

I think he had two good games and then missed time.

I don't think he was ever right when he came back.

GO BILLS

History will definitely repeat itself hopefully we get somebody that contributes a little more at this time.

……you have doubts?

Hopefully we celebrate it by trading for a younger and faster option that could help us long term😆

What Beane does between now and Nov 4 will tell me how serious Beane is about winning the Super Bowl.  
 

Skilled WR is number 1 need IMO.  Beane should of stocked WR room with 5 quality WRs yesterday, I mean 5 years ago.

 

Safety is 2nd biggest need.  Get Rapp off the field now!

 

CB who can press is 3rd biggest need.

 

A quality LB who could cover would be nice too.

 

Beane - get on the phones.  Get Shaheed here for starters- and keep going!

I remember the dislikes, disagrees and angry emoji's directed at me so well.

Rest assured, he’s serious about winning the SB.

Im Missouri- Show Me

[strive_for_five_guy]

If he does make a move, hopefully the player actually cares about winning too.

[boyst]

For the frustration of many the reality was he helped.

 

YPG passing, YPP passing... All went up when he was on the field. 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Where do we send cards 🤔 

[frostbitmic]

With the 3rd round pick we gave up for him we likely would've drafted someone who can't get on the field anyways.

I certainly would like to see an upgrade to our WR roster. That being said, I think the area of our team that has the greatest talent deficit is our secondary.

Might as well just trade our 1st, 2nd and 3rd in next year’s draft at this point.

He seemed to fiddle with defensive attention and free up other guys….it was probably more subtle than most people expected but the offense got significantly better overall with him in the lineup

Total speculation but id bet it was unconsciously laying around in back of his mind.  Then he got injured again, body not responding like it used to. New playbook and surroundings, no chemistry built from TC. He's a pretty introspective guy.  I could see all those changes bringing him to the realization he was done shortly after getting here.  

 

We've heard that kind of inner monologue expressed from a bunch of retired players talking about what the end looked like.  I think he was a professional and handled it well, its just father time comes for us all
