How high is Bishop's ceiling?

[Royale with Cheese]

He has the potential to be the greatest of all time.  We will build a statue for him.

Seriously,

He is coming along really well.

 

Glad they didn't listen to the "bust" calls we all heard.

I heard McD and Beane were close to actually cutting Bishop, after a really harsh post here on TBD.  Good thing they held the course.

[DapperCam]

I think his ceiling is a Pro Bowler and a good starter. Considering how bad our safety play has been since Poyer/Hyde part I, that would be a huge improvement to the defense.

Been playing well. More instinctive, which I feel is directly related to Rapp being out. Allows him to be free and not worry about the teammate injuring missle.

Certainly has the potential to be one of our better safeties that have played for this team. Hopefully he continues to progress this season and is a difference maker in the playoffs.

I think folks are thinking if we gave Bishop 5 years to develop, he should be at least to that level.

 

I hope those folks are right.

His ceiling is as high as his mental processing will allow for. He's getting better in that area but it's still absolutely a work in progress for a young player. 

 

The HOF shouts at this junction are insane lol

Who’s saying HOF besides you? 

[gonzo1105]

I’ve always been high on Bishop. Pro Bowler with maybe an all pro one year thrown in

I predicted Bishop to be the best player out of that Bills draft class. He’s one of those complete Safety’s like Polamalu that is both a ball hawk and savage hitter. I think he has potential to be a top 5 player at his position. 

[HOUSE]

I think he could become one of the best ever. I will go with HOF

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

All you guys saying HOF, slow your roll! 
 

I think he is a second ballot HOFer only.

Is it just me or did Bishop emerge the minute  Rapp went out and he partnered with Poyer?

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

What has made me more confident was a post-game breakdown (I think after Carolina) where the upshot was "he's pretty much always in the right position" 

 

To me, that's the thing. There's always going to a process throughout his career to get better at battling receivers but if he's in the right place with those athletic traits? I heard him described as "the best pure safety in the 2024 draft"

 

 

Obviously DeJean has been great for the Eagles so that's my hope for rough comp

[Joe Marino]

Pope.

[hondo in seattle]

Beane's drafts have been very hit or miss, but it looks like he nabbed a couple of good ones in Hairston and Bishop.  

[BillsPride12]

To the negative Nancy's in here, we are talking about his ceiling. Where he could potentially max out at. Nobody is anointing him a Hall of Famer yet

[Rigotz]

[Big Turk]

Really high. He is going to be a key piece of this secondary along with Hairston for the next several years.
