There is only one investment you ever put a large portion of your net worth into…and that’s real estate. It’s forever, there will never be more, and it will forever go up in value, even after it dips during recessions. Why these dumb idiot athletes invest in anything else is beyond me. He could have put $10M into rental properties, paid cash, let a company manage the tenants and renters, and collected easily be generating $60k-$80k a month in rents for life all free and clear with no mortgages while his property portfolio value would continue to climb over time. Its so easy it’s sickening to see athletes go broke. Even when property values decline, rents stay the same. It’s the easiest mail box money in the world, and it’s why the 1% club of the wealthiest people mostly built that wealth on real estate.

Respectfully disagree. Barry was the consensus best RB in his era and all time. Emmit was a product of the best OL in football, put him on Det and he rushes for half the yards he did in Dallas. Put Barry in Dallas, and he probably 6+ 2000 yard seasons in Dallas and sets all time rushing record in under 10 seasons. And I love Thurman, but Thurman was Barry’s backup in college and while he was one of the greatest RBs in NFL history, certainly too 10, he was not better than Barry whose the GOAT and did all that on bad teams with bad offensive lines. Barry never sniffed the quality of rosters Emmitt and Thurman were blessed to play on. And no disrespect to the OP, but his definition of dominance is skewed IMHO. It’s not about stat separation. I mean Wilt Chamberlain was most dominant player in NBA history statistically and yet he’s in no one’s top 5 all time and not even in many peoples top 10 all time. And he was dominated in the wins and championship column by Bill Russell despite having insanely more gaudy stats.

ha missed the past bills player… Josh Allen Marshawn Lynch Kevin Hart

So stupid. You don’t speculate the majority of your net worth on something highly volatile…that’s investing 101 and not exactly rocket science. It’s why (before crypto) when in investing in volatile and high reward yet high risk commodities versus stocks, you only put a max of 5% to 10% of your investment portfolio into commodities, if you even did at all. For anyone to put that much of their net worth into crypto is both stupid and shows how naive Millennials really are where they think all they need to know is on Twitter and Reddit when it comes to investment strategies. Crypto has made a lot of people wealthy, I mean I have friends, multiple friends, who have Individually made hundreds of millions on bitcoin and especially ethereum. But they were in very early. I know a lot of people who did very well even after the values got high, but these were investments using a calculated amount of money. Not just blindly putting their entire net worth into it while at the highest values it’s seen. And now we are seeing a lot of people who got in at the higher values who have now lost a lot of money and it’s a guess on whether they will ever even get back to even or continue to lose. Crypto will likely bounce back, but it’s a big question mark how high it will get back to, plus we don’t know how much Trevor sold as it dropped, he may have already realized a lot of those losses or he could have sold very little and can MAYBE claw some value back. But it’s so volatile, that it’s possible it could keep going down as well. Just a foolish move to wager that much money on a highly volatile market.

We already drafted an undersized RB this year lol who hasn’t even stepped on the field yet. RB could be in play if they don’t resign Devin, but I would expect it would be more a feature style RB than another undersized one. I think it will most likely will be OL IMHO, probably a guard or Center. But the fate of Edmunds, Poyer, and Devin will be a big factor too in who is in play for us in the first.

Had Barry Sanders played when OJ and Brown players he would have led the league in rushing by a mile every year. Barry did all that he did behind an atrocious OL with weak QBs and a bad defense. He was the Detroit Lions. Emit Smith wouldn’t have been very good had he played on Lions instead of the Cowboys. Barry on the Cowboys might have averaged 2000 yards a season for most his career. So while I get the OJ and Brown love, and they are top 5 all time too, Barry was just better, and really the GOAT.

Josh Allen Tre White Kevin Hart This would be a fun *** dinner party. Kevin is hilarious in person and a blast!

They aren’t going to just hand Crowder the job before he even knows the playbook. But Crowder is the better player, and once preseason concludes he will be the starting slot receiver come week 1 barring injuries of course. They signed Crowder and drafted Shakir for a reason, because they don’t see McKenzie as an every down slot player. Beane would have taken Shakir earlier too had he had not traded that pick. They are high on him, and they should be. You yourself even previously said you thought Shakir would be the starting slot WR before seasons end. McKenzie chances to be the starting slot WR without injuries helping that happen are pretty slim IMHO. And I like McKenzie, just he’s gonna continue to be more of a gadget player come regular season.

Im not suggesting McKenzie will get cut, I like him and so does the front office and team. I am saying his role will be the same, and that role has basically been the gadget guy as essentially a WR 5/6 when it comes to touches.

He was a guy who could have gone much earlier too. 5th round, 1st round…none of it matters anymore. Once they hit the field that’s it. Gabriel Davis made a significant impact as a 4th rounder year 1. Bills have lots of guys who were mid round picks or later who ended up contributing early. And I didn’t set the bar that high, I said he would have the 4th most touches out of the WR group, that’s a reasonable expectation. Which means he’s probably 5th or 6th in receptions on the team with Knox and Cook getting their share too. So for me, draft slots mean nothing anymore, it’s what role they will play. And I think he will be WR 4 this year essentially, playing that Gabe Davis role when we had 3 guys ahead of him. McKenzie’s production this year will be similar or worse than last year, just too many mouths to feed now.

100% agreed. I don’t get this delusion on this board about McKenzie. He’s not the starting slot WR, Crowder is and will be unless he has a bad camp. There is a reason they signed Crowder and drafted Shakir…it’s because McKenzie is their gadget player, not their targeted starting slot. McKenzie will likely not even match the production that he had last year with all these new mouths to feed.

Did you list them in order? Cuz no way McKenzie is our 3rd WR over Crowder come week 1. I don’t understand why every season people think McKenzie is going to get a ton of touches. It never happens. They signed Crowder to take Beasley snaps and Shakir is the future at that spot. McKenzie likely won’t finish higher than 5th in touches this year at WR unless injuries force him on the field more. I like him, but he is not going to see a lot of touches this year again.

People every year think McKenzie is going to have a role then barely sees the field all year. So I think once again people are over estimating how many snaps McKenzie will get. And I think Shakir will end the season with the 4th most touches at WR and not too far behind Crowder. Next year, he will fully take over for Crowder and be the full time starting slot WR.

So whose the savior in terms of size? Kumerow who never steps on the field in offense? They will keep the best players, and if Kumerow proves to be one of them, they will keep him. But I seriously doubt they cut a better WR to keep Kumerow just because he’s bigger. They might keep Kumerow for ST, but he isnt getting a free roster spot just because he’s bigger. We got size at TE and Diggs and Davis both play big. Size won’t be an issue IMO.

I will say there is almost no chance that Crowder or Shakir get cut, and McKenzie not likely either. Diggs, Davis, Crowder, Shakir are all lock or as close to locks as you can get in the current WR room. They likely keep McKenzie too given they just signed him back. That leaves one spot maybe 2 spots for a dedicated returner and possible ST player if they want. I think it will be Tavon as the returner. I’m not sold they keep 7 WRs. It’s gonna be real hard to keep 7 this year. My final prediction: Diggs, Davis, Crowder, Shakir, McKenzie, Austin. He is not a only a near lock for the roster, he’s gonna get plenty of touches as a rookie

Hahaha I want to watch a Bills game with you…who is this?

It’s Inglewood, so it’s aight and not the best area as in walking around and stuff. But it’s not far at all from better areas. I mean you are like 10 min from the Beach even.

I have on a 112 par 3 using my friends mom PW. Lol. Worst part, someone else got a hole in one on a different hole same day and they used the last Polaroid to take their picture so I didn’t even get my pic up on the wall! Hahaha I was so pissed.

Fixed it for you

This has been so funny and fun to watch. Million times better than a pro bowl

I wish Josh would have had a custom golf bag made that looked like a deflated football, that would have been priceless too hahaha

Damn, sad story! He was a good player for them...RIP.

Who said Kap was elite? You just compared him to one of the best QBs in the NFL. What does that have to do with anything? That’s like saying well if he wasn't as good as Aaron Rodgers is then he must not be any good at all. But, to answer your question…I suggest you maybe go look at the Houston Texans where Watson had a phenomenal season, MVP level stats, and they still only won like 3 games. Or look at all the seasons the Saints missed the playoffs while Brees was throwing for 5000 yards. Or all the time the Falcons missed the playoffs with that potent offense. Or how bad the Lions were despite having Stafford. So yes, if you completely stripped our defense of all its good players and stripped the offense of all its good players, Allen wouldn’t win many games either.

Did you look at the massive loss of talent over those years, maybe the biggest loss of talent for a young team in a short span in NFL history? They lost every single one of their best players on defense and offense over that span to shocking early retirements, injuries, free agency, trades and legal problems. They also loss Harbaugh who knew how to use Kap and replaced him with the worst HC in NFL. Not to mention, the locker room had been turning on Harbaugh his last 2 seasons in SF. Again, you’re just looking at a win-loss record and making assumptions without the context of the facts. When they went to the SB, the team was young and looked setup to be a top team for years to come. Then they started losing all those players and in Kaps last year had easily a bottom 5 roster in the NFL and the worst HC. Not trying to be a jerk here, but your completely missing the context of what was going on with the 49ers in the next few years after the SB loss to the Ravens.

No offense, but that’s a lazy evaluation of him that completely ignores the real world context of what that 49ers teams was that last year, which was a bottom 5 roster with the worst HC in football in Chip Kelly who already ruined the Eagles in his previous disaster as HC.
