Here is what is SO stupid about this article. Saying Allen cant hit the broadside of a barn is utterly a fireable offense for a writer proving he literally has zero intellect on said subject. Allen completed nearly 60% while: Bills led the NFL in dropped passes. His starting WRs consisted of guys made up of Zay Jones, McKenzie, Foster and Duke Williams His starting trio of WRs for the longest stretch averaged 5'10" in height And his deep ball was off through first half the season He is grossly overlooking the IMPROVEMENT Josh made on the deep ball later in the season and in all other aspects of his passing game through the season. His WR group got better when we got dead weight off the field It takes time to build rapport with receivers, and as the season went on he started connecting with Brown deep and made some big plays Cousins only completed 6 more deep balls than Josh on similar attempts despite all those factors and not having a tandem of Thelien and Diggs to play with for 2 seasons. At the end of the day, if you take the Josh down the stretch and project his connection rate over a whole season...he would protect better at the deep ball than Cousins and with lesser weapons none the less. We all know that means nothing until Josh does for a whole season, but the point is, Josh after starting abysmal at the deep ball both looked better at it as a rookie and down the stretch of his second season. He had a bad start to it in 2019, but also that was when he had to throw a bunch to a scrub like Zay too and was still figuring out his timing with Brown. If he doesnt struggle during that stretch, Josh would have also been above 60% completion. So again...this writer is a moron and knows nothing about Josh Allen and just regurgitating out dated and false perceptions. Does Josh need to keep improving on the deep ball...absolutely. Does he need to keep improving in other areas...absolutely. But he is no where near the stupid statements this author wrote and made a lot of big strides in all these areas last year, especially down the stretch.

This is a weird priority list IMO. I mean...DE, OT, and RB are all pretty widely seen as the higher priorities now, maybe a WR to groom can squeak its way in for the 2nd round consideration too.

I didnt love him two years ago. I thought he was a fool ever since the Mitch trade. Paid a lot to make a move he didnt need to make. SF was never taking Mitch, everyone knew that. And if someone else overpaid to get Mitch by trading with SF, so be it...you keep those 3 picks and take Watson at 3, who some had as the best QB anyway in that draft. Mahomes was not considered for the top 5, so wont count him as an option for Bears at 3 even though he's the best one obviously. Many Bears fans I knew were pretty upset with him too about that trade. The Mack trade was insane too. Raiders fleeced them, hated it from the moment they did it. You don't make that kind of trade when your QB had not looked good up to that point. You might need those assets to try again at QB. Mack has done nothing for them, all that money, all those picks...but unless your team is ready for the next step, he isn't going to change the fortunes of the team. I have not been a fan of most of his big moves at all. Thought he did a decent job getting some weapons at WR, not great, but an upgrade. But even dumping a young RB that had been good for them and gave them a potent run game in Howard was not wise. Replaced him with a lesser version of him too in Montgomery. Beane on the other hand has done a sensational job at both managing our cap situation for now and looking forward while also building and stacking talent. Beane is light years better than Pace IMO and I would love to see us lock Beane up long term soon to insure he stays. Although, I am not that worried of him leaving to be honest, he does seem to genuinely love being here in Buffalo and we seem like a perfect fit for him and also seems to gel great with McD. So I wouldn't imagine he would think about leaving for a bigger offer before he finished what he started here anyway.

Yuck. I wanted Quinn...but no thanks on that contract. Bears are just puzzling some times

Seriously???? Make. It. Stop. Why are people obsessed about a WR on another team that was NOT made available to the Bills? Let it f-ing go and rejoice we got our own stud.

Duke is our #4 right now, and honestly if that’s how the season opened I’d be good with that. He’s got a skill set that still fits. But I also wont be surprised if we draft a WR with size in round 3 or 4 to compete. And that is more a testament to the depth of talent at WR where I can see how a WR will be BPA while on clock. Brown has only 2 years on his deal, so adding a young developmental WR now makes sense to have a guy who can potentially step up if we need him to in 2 years.

Seriously.

Yeah, which is why I actually think they are such good signings. He’s a master of getting that kind of value to get him to the next the player upgrade. Find solid value at the very least and not over paying for it using team friendly deals is what makes him so strong.

For real, people are crazy if they think they are the same player. Watching a highlight tape of him will quickly show Diggs is elite route runner and plays quite big and is open even when not open. He leads NFL since 2017 in contested catches for a reason. Beane had himself one hell of a day 1.

CAN WE LOCK BEANE UP WITH A NEW 5 YEAR CONTRACT ASAP PLEASE!?!?! He is the man. Period.

what tweet? Noting in twitter i can see about Kittle at all.

Ha i know now, I’m also high and a bit buzzed on wine

Man Beane is a rockstar! Can we extend Beane now please.

Hence why we traded for a stud instead

Diggs is already a better WR than Cooper and costs almost half OMG I am loving this more by the minute!!!

We also had more draft picks than open roster spots. Beane was never keeping all those picks. He was gonna trade then to move around draft for other unknown commodities. Instead he wisely used them on a proven stud on a great contract.

Except he’s wrong. So there’s that. Hopkins was NOT traded for a 4th.

Now go get Pittman or Claypool in the 3rd and we are f-Ing set!!!!

This lol

Well I think that includes both Beane and McD wouldn't you say? ?

Gross. Makes Spain deal look like deal of the century. Would anyone want Flowers over Spain at twice the cost?

Still early though, and honestly Beane kept saying we wont be spending in the "deep end of the pool" this year. So I think he's going to maybe pursue one big guy possibly at DE at best. If not, probably look for valuable mid tier guys mostly and look ahead to the draft. He said he wants to keep cap in a good spot to keep home grown talent over next few years.

And paid too much IMO. Makes Spain look like the deal of the century in comparison IMO.

All good points. My personal opinion is that I am not sold Brady goes to TB. So I think Bucs may look to stay pat and force themselves to take one of the left over QB's if they dont get Brady. Now if Brady goes there (again, believe it when I see it), might be intriguing spot for a trade up for sure. Like you, I am skeptical the cost to get to 13 will be something Beane will pay, and agree Lynch is a good GM who has extracted a lot of value in his trades which could make that slot even more expensive. And in a rich WR draft, I have high doubts Beane makes a real expensive trade up.

Good point actually
