Mr. WEO

That backup had more rushing yards last year than any primary Bills RB has had in 5 years.

getting this phone call from McD be like:

Was he just launched out of The Accelerator??

Do I really have to remind you of the degree of devotion Buffalo fans had for this guy while he was here?

Imagine him lining up behind Morse under Center Eichel could block your punch with the Stanley Cup tho....

The Rams had a wealthier owner. He built his own stadium in a better town. The Bill stayed because their owner knew he would get a publicly funded new stadium.

He’s a bum. you’re welcome

he resigned him after his 4th year of his rookie contract. That’s when you sign a star franchise QB who is lighting up the league….

Beane had to fork over the highest guaranteed money in league history at the time to get that deal with Allen done. That other QBs got paid more subsequently isn't due to Beane's contract skills.

It will continue as a family tradition.

Where's the helmet toss drill in there??

lol about what? You have duplicate threads on page 1. we get it.

if it’s clickbait, he certainly has you hooked. How many times are you going to start this thread?

Jeez…Byrd with the best season as a Bill past 15 years…

How does he monetize it, now or the future?

He makes no money from that....

what were Allen's "short pass stats" the second half of the season?

It's a twitter account. what are you talking about? and how much did they take you for in that viagra scheme?

thread so fresh...

Yup more reps, more touches did the trick. I'd take the occasional drops, given the 17+ per catch and production: 88% of his receptions were for 1st downs or TDs.

Agreed. My point is he plays injured and had a huge increase in his production over the previous season. Every #2 receiver gets a chunk in one big game here and there. Look at Diggs: huge first half of the season...after week 9 he went to sleep.

Missed 2 games in 3 years. got nearly 1000 yards total last season despite high ankle sprain in September...

no one said he’s a bum or that he sucked. He struggled often. but I get it, you feel McDs talent is very unique. Ok.

You are arguing against something I didn't say. But did struggle. How many CBs in the history of the game have "gotten torched for 200 yards"? What a bizarre measuring stick. How many times does that happen in the course of a 285 game season? How times in the past 10 years? Every backup will look lost in a game or two. Many others will also not be "instantly exposed"....but will be exposed at some point. This is all obviously true...and true no matter the coach.

Every coach is forced to put backups in starter position every year due to injuries etc--they all have to take "meaningful snaps" at some point. When in, they are paid to make plays. Backups have to play in the NFL every week--it's not coaching genius that makes them functional. It's skill, preparedness and necessity. Wallace struggled his whole time here. He just had his best season in LV. Benford will be a backup to White. Jackson will go back to being a backup behind a second year player. Look, he's a good coach. Getting "a lot out of a little" is fine and all, but getting the most out of your best players in the most important games is the metric that actually separates the HCs in this league, not coaching up benchwarmers.
