This board kills me. 

 

"Do something Beane. We need a WR with some speed"

 

We sign a WR with speed

 

"NOOOOO NOT HIMMMMMM"

To play devils advocate- What does Hardman bring that Samuel or Moore doesn't?

 

Speed? Well samuel ran a 4.31, Moore a 4.35 and Hardman ran a 4.33

 

I don't think Joe brady has much of an idea to use his receivers and scheme them open, so this just seems like a redundant/lateral move IMO.

 

I am not killing Beane as I guess you got to try something, but I don't really see a path to this being an upgrade

He’s fast. So there’s that.

Palmer Hardman Davis and Shakir.  Not great, but certainly better than the trash that is Moore Shavers Coleman and Samuel.  But will the Bills actually think of activating Davis and Hardman before we lose our next 3 games?  Look at the schedule everyone.  We certainly better come w a much better effort on both sides of the ball.  Otherwise, 6-6 is not out of the realm.  

 

Anyone know how bad Kincaid’s hamstring injury is?

Week to week which will soon be month to month

[Scott7975]

This years MVS. Yippee.

Too little too late.

He brings straight line speed which Samuel isn't really that guy. He has some ability to track those deep balls as well. 

 

Samuel ran a 4.31 how many years and lower leg injuries ago? 

 

Look, as I said up thread...no this isn't a fix all. But you're not going to find many better options at this point in the season. Being they were rumored to be in on Waddle and now this, it shows me they realize they need help there. Makes me a little more hopeful Beane works out a big trade on an established WR or moves up the board to get one.

I'm way more excited about this than I should be.

to me, there is no material difference between shaheed and hardman. They need a guy to stretch the field. Both guys can do it. 

The difference is one is young and has been effective recently

 

Hardman has done nothing for a few seasons now and might be cooked

 

I'm not against giving him a shot, though

[Chicken Boo]

Let's be real.  He'll be lucky to get 30 snaps on the season.

[ColoradoBills]

Maybe he and Josh will click.

 

That's all I got.

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

Hardman is going to bust that first Wr screen for ten! 

[Nuncha]

Hard man to cover, or

I feel much better now.  

 

I've gone through periods where it feels like all I do is make the wrong choices and then try to correct it, only to find I've made 3 more mistakes in the meantime. 

 

It really feels like there is a black cloud hanging over head the organization, coaches and players. 

 

Soul searching time at OBD 

[MikePJ76]

This signing feels like a poor mans shaheed who is going to get a chance to return kicks.  
 

one of the things no one talks about this year because of the obsession over wr is the poor returns.  
 

we upgraded at st coach in tabor and the special teams has not seemed great this year.  
 

injuries matter but returns have been pretty pedestrian.

Davis will play when ready. Hardman probably needs a week, or just toss him in.

 

Honestly doesn’t matter who plays. Offense is in a rut. Josh needs to play better and needs better play by the receivers.  Don’t see anyone same are playing now, or on PS who will make a difference.

He does bring championship pedigree with 3 rings.

I would love to know what Samuel's speed is in 2025, because I dont see this elite speed on the field.

I mean, if we are talking injuries and that effecting speed, hardman is just coming off a knee injury in 2024 in which he Couldn't finish the season.

 

Moore ran a 4.35 not that long ago and is younger than Hardman.

 

Again, not ripping on the move as I guess why not bring him in
 

But if we can't use Samuel and/or Moore properly as speed guys, I have little faith we will with Hardman
