As @gonzo1105 said, the whole class has been a disappointment so far.

 

McConkey's been the best. Nabers can't stay healthy. Odunze and Harrison have shown flashes but zero consistency.

 

Brian Thomas had an excellent rookie season.

 

Pearsall, Legette, Polk, Mitchell, McMillan, Baker have all done little or nothing.

 

 

But I guess we should have doubled down.

 

Ironically, the double down likely would have been Franklin (or maybe Baker). They seemed like the guys that “slipped.” Baker looks like a disaster. Franklin would have ended up as the Benford to Coleman’s Elam. Franklin isn’t as good as Benford but the point being, he looks like a solid starting WR.

Josh Allen can do no wrong to us.  It's not easy for us to be objective because he is the most likable and great player they've ever had.   But if Josh did influence the pick.......he should be the main player in Keon's ear.   It's hard to reach your potential as a leader if you can't NOT be everyone's best friend. 

The following is a question, NOT a statement:

 

Do you see it as a possibility that Coleman does not want to play in Buffalo? The kid is from Louisiana. He signed to play for Michigan St., and left to play at Florida State. If he hates playing in the cold, he wouldn't be the first. 

 

Like many wrs his personality seems to be a bit flamboyant, and this doesn't bother me at all. I am just wondering if he likes being here.

I dont think thats it.   I dont think he is a malicious dude.  I think he is a very young and stupid 23 years old.   Because of the immaturity I dont get the sense he understands the seriousness of the business he is in.    He also doesnt have the luxury of being elite.

I think he is just not very good in the role he was drafted to play. He wasn't very good at that role even in Florida.

If he just bides his time and continues with what he’s been doing, he will get his wish when his rookie deal expires

How do you go back to work after a team leader ripped you in front of the cameras after a team win

I said he was very overrated as someone who got to see him since high school

 

NFL football player not a top five pick

 

I do remember him not being your #1 WR, good call, and I think it is fair that at the moment he hasn't looked like a top 5 pick. 

 

On the flipside I also think the level of his struggles have been slightyly exaggerated too. He is averaging almost 55 yards per game and has 12 NFL touchdowns in 26 starts and without stellar QB play. People attaching words like "bust" to him are over the top IMO. Not saying you are doing that but some are. It is just that the expectations were sky high.

 

If that class was re-drafted by the NFL today he'd still go around the top half of round 1 I think. But yea, probably outside the top 10.

You put your ego aside, humble yourself, and realize the team leader was right.

No he wasn’t. Coleman ***** sucks and people should know about. We are only hearing about the tip of the iceberg with this guy. I’m sure there are other antics, other than being late, that he pulls that the team is sick of. Some people liked his initial interview about jackets and cookies; i thought he sounded like a complete clown and that he had to be mighty exceptional to make up for. Turns out he is what he is, just a clown who won’t see the end of his rookie deal.

Ya I still don't even think he gets it which is the most annoying thing.

1. He is doing tik tok dances in the pre game when he's inactive which is just a horrible look IMO

 

2. He didn't even say there is a lesson to be learned when Matt parrino asked him post game

If this was a first offense, maybe. And Dion has stayed positive and supportive through 2 other incidents that we know of. Not to mention the loafing in games that is on tape for all to see. No telling what else this knuckle-head has missed or half-assed behind the scenes that we are unaware of. This has obviously been building with the staff and team for a while. At some point, the love and support method isnt working so time to turn to tough, honest love.

 

Dion will be here and be Captain long after Coleman is cut and becomes a mere footnote.

Suck it up, realize they are right and you are not a good teammate.  Especially because your QB had a great game with you on the bench.

 

Worst case, he can go home and wipe away his tears with his millions.

 

 

[Ray Stonada]

I don’t care about Keon anymore, I just want our coaches to to the best thing for the Bills.

 

Given that he sat and we scored 44 points, after a game in which he was clearly jogging and not even turning around on plays where the ball was thrown to him, I think he should sit unless we absolutely need him due to injuries to Palmer, Davis, Moore and Samuel.

The last few games with Brissett there were flashes of greatness. I obviously still believe in him. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had a top 5 receiving season next year. He’s the guy I’d try to deal for but doubt that they will. The only hope is that they’re hitting the reset at QB and may want the ammo. 
 

If I am ranking the OSU receivers in terms of dominance over the last handful of years it would look like this(ish):

 

Jeremiah Smith

MHJ

small gap

JSN

Carnell Tate

Wilson

Egbuka

The Coleman hate-fest allows people to enjoy and indulge in Dion's public criticism of a teammate.

 

IMO there was no reason to go public... words said to Coleman in private by a "respected team leader" should suffice.

 

Dion has 4 false starts and 2 holding penalties and is playing at a lower level than last year but I guess when you get the keys to the city, you can say what you want when you want, regardless of your own performance.

That to me was Beane's great failure with the Coleman pick. Not that Coleman has not been (to date) the player that the Bills hoped for when they drafted him -- but that given that the position was one of such great need (in a draft that was reportedly the deepest at WR we had seen in some time) that they didn't double-down by taking a shot at another WR later in the draft. It's funny that Bean HAS done this at other positions in the past, including (as you mentioned) Elam/Benford. He also did this in the latest draft at both the CB as well as the DL positions. Sadly, he had ample opportunities to do so last year with multiple mid-round picks to navigate, and hindsight shows us that he could have used that late 3rd round pick (ironically acquired in the move-down that allowed the Chiefs to acquire Worthy) to take Franklin instead of Carter.

 

What is even more irritating is that in their move-downs, they wound up with the 1st overall pick in the 2nd round, which allowed them overnight to re-think their strategy (and probably afforded them some additional trade options as that 33rd pick is a treasured commodity). I also can't buy that they were THAT enamored with Coleman -- otherwise they wouldn't have traded down TWICE and risked losing out on him. I know Beane was frantic about acquiring additional draft picks, especially since the team didn't originally have a 3rd due to the R. Douglas trade. But trade-downs like that when your biggest need is glaringly obvious means that you don't have a great conviction about a specific guy at that position -- which is why it made even MORE sense to hedge the bet by taking another WR on day 2 (or beginning of day 3).

 

The funny thing is that when day 1 came to a close, I felt certain that they had their sights on Franklin. The team had met with him on multiple occasions, and I even remember one reporter stating at the conclusion of the 1st round that the Bills' taking Franklin to start the 2nd round was one of the rare certainties of the draft. The only thing I will say is that, given that the team DID their due diligence on Franklin, there must have been something they didn't like about him.
