For everyone crying about Brandon Beane lately -- how angry are you that Cook is locked up for $11.5M a year for the next 4 years?

Interesting he beat out Taylor this week. Especially for a guy who doesnt play 3rd downs.

We have the worst cap situation in the league with very little elite talent outside of Cook and Allen.

The bolded is comically inaccurate. The Saints have the worst cap situation in league history.

Congrats Jimbo!  If the game wasn't such a blowout he might have broken 300...an amazing performance.

Oh, you just meant least cap space right now? Sure, no argument there. Sorry to have misunderstood. Usually saying worst cap situation takes into account the overall picture, not just today.
 

There’s no NFL coach or exec who would trade our cap situation for the Saints’.

The flip side of your praise is that while Cook has elevated his game the other RB's on the roster have probably looked equally WORSE than last year.  Might be the biggest drop-off from a RB1 to his reserves in the league right now.   Everyone is on Ray Davis for looking so bad but I don't know if Ty Johnson is hurt but he's the real disappointment.   Allen calling Ty Johnson the best 3rd down RB in the league last year actually rang true.   

 

Brady is the one who had a good week and deserves praise from his critics.   All the game script predictors were saying not to run the ball against all those run stuffing DT's they have accumulated.   That they had to attack the Panthers with the pass,  especially at the LB level.   Well Brady drew up a plan that attacked a vulnerability in their run game and made them look like the team that game up 3,000 yards rushing last year.   The Panthers threw a ton of resources into fixing their run defense and he totally exposed them.   

 

The reality is that because Beane has done such a terrible job at the WR position the only thing the Bills CAN do with any consistency is run the ball right now.   It was a huge mistake trying to exploit perceived opponent weakness by playing to their own weakness in the prior 2 games.

It's more about dead cap accumulated over the years which has caused them to have the least amount of active cap spending on their 53 man roster and it shows because their roster sucks.  That's one of the many reasons they're 1-7.

He’s been fun to watch this year - really hope he keeps it going and stays healthy because the backups are doo-doo
