Bills release Elijah Moore

[Steptide]

Curtis Samuel is one of our worst signings ever. Over paid and can't release him 

[ngbills]

Who knows anything with Brady. Moore has better numbers than the past few years than Cooks, Hardman, Samuel etc. 

[Allen2Moulds]

I know the word trust has been thrown around a lot, specifically with the WR position.

 

1. Can you (Josh) trust the guy to win his 1 on 1 matchup, if playing against man. 

2. Can you (Josh) trust him to be in the right spot, against zone coverage.

 

 

If there are issues here, too often with one or the other, or maybe both, you have to look for a more reliable replacement.  I guess now we know what role Cooks will be filling, especially with Samuel being hurt all the time.

Yeah, going through OCs this quick is a bad look for him no doubt. 

 

It's because we haven't gotten one that is good enough to make adjustments once DC's figure them out in year 1.  It's why the first year Bills go 13 wins and look amazing and 2nd year they go 11 wins and it's way too much of a struggle. It's happened three times in a row now (assuming Bills get to 11 wins which I am guessing is a good bet). If Brady gets fired or gets a HC job, we should not be surprised if the new guy coming in gets us back to 13 wins again in year 1...it's what happens in year 2 that matters to determine if we have a guy that can actually be more than a 1 year wonder.

My thought is you don't rely on guys that are still available to be signed after the draft to play important roles for your team. Especially at premium positions. The narrative that he just needed good QB play to turn his career around was always ridiculous. The tape was out there and NFL pro personnel departments aren't stupid.

Highly debatable...

In 2 years, he’s going to be an elite answer on Immaculate Grid. 

 

Ironically he got replaced by one of my Immaculate Grid cheat codes: Brandin Cooks.

[BillMafia716ix]

Brady didn’t even use him. He’s probably relieved tbh. We wasted his time 

[wppete]

When are we going to release Joe Brady and McDermott?

[BananaB]

Brady basically gives each WR a couple routes and tries run the same ***** out of different formations over and over again. 

[gobills404]

The Jets and Browns used him better than Brady could

Not surprised based on his social media yesterday.  Feel for him.  I think he works hard and was poorly used by the staff

 

 

 

 

You could say that about any number of players on this roster.

Should’ve just ir’d Samuel but whatever. Going to take a miracle for this team to have any impact in the playoffs. 

Samuel is a good player when he is 100%.   Problem is, I cannot remember when he was 100%.

Brandin Cooks, Vinny Testaverde, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Josh Johnson can all be used to fill a square you're stumped on with like an 85% success rate.

A bit hyperbolic, the team can get out from under his contract after this season and he was a midlevel signing. It was a bad signing but not among the worst in team history

hahahahahahahahahahaha...............sorry...............hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[ProcessTruster]

swapping Cooks for Moore is fine.  Cooks is no slower and has better track record.   Moore has pretty much washed out plus I never realized he was that small. 

 

Who knows, maybe Cooks can do something 

 

Beane is trying.  IMHO, if Waddle wasn't in-division, he'd be on the roster right now.   A 1st round pick for Shaheed would have been just stupid.

Thoughts?

 

Meh. I'd have released Keon first.

[WotAGuy]

Moore will be our savior when we resign him after the trade deadline in 2027.

This is a terribly heartless thing to say, but I view guys like him, Samuel, and even Cooks as lottery tickets.  They have shown flashes in the past, will they blossom here?  Who knows.  I'm never mad when we sign them (and I was actually cautiously optimistic about Samuel).  If they don't pan out, it is time to move on.  You don't keep lottery tickets that don't win.

 

Of course, it is a valid argument that we shouldn't be in such desperate straights that our strategy appears to be lottery tickets.

 

The fan in me says...maybe one of them will hit.

Cooks (especially) Samuel and Moore all have had solid to good careers before coming to the Bills.  These guys were all high draft picks, so they have some talent.  Samuel has been injured a lot.  But we do not give many targets to any of our WR's since Diggs left.  How is any player going to be productive getting 0-3 targets per game???

 

The scheme the Bills have run since Brady took over is absolute trash for WR's.  Shakir can get down the field.  He has under 4.4 speed.  Yet we always throw to him behind the LOS.  Its sickening what Brady has done to this offense.  

 

I hear some posters on the board talk about where we are in pts and yards/game.  That means nothing.  We have scored a lot in bunches mostly early in the season.  Once our scheme was figured out we did nothing against New England Miami Atlanta and Houston.  

 

Amazing that we have an all time QB, and we have tried to play ball control and dink and dunk.  And we can't even dink and dunk well with a nice screen game.  That would have tore up the Texans pass rush.  

 

There is absolutely no accountability between coaching and management.  They all do what they please in lockstep with each other spinning their wheels.  Is it any wonder that we have the most regular season wins over a 5-6 year period without going to a Super Bowl.  That is laziness and/or stupidity.  Just not caring enough or being smart enough to get to the championship level.  Which the Colts with Daniel Jones could possibly find before we do with Josh Allen.  Everyone think about that for a second.
