Mr. WEO

lol...the 20-teens HOF??

most come and go without much imprint. 1 year doesn't add much to the culture--or alter it.

dude was narcing on Bruce, no doubt...

meh--it was the 80's. everyone was coked up. both guys ended up in HOF---not because they ate bananas and honey before games...

Coupla youngsters, eh boys? He was suspended 30 days for testing positive for drugs a second time. The Bills famously were reported to have hired a private eye to secretly follow to report back if he was hanging around with a known coke dealer.

how many stay for more than 1 year?

come on....

They should stick to cocaine..

How many 70 year olds with 24 years of NFL coaching experience at every level were at the "accelerator" program?

Even a large bump like 30% won't provide more shared revenue for the League--ticket revenue isn't shared, except with the visiting team. If the annual sales go from 65 million to, say 85 million, that's an increase of 8 million for the visiting teams for 8-9 games. not significant bump for any team's total revenue.

not with current ownership

I'm a deckless renter...

That's an answer to a different question. They don't hang banners for a team with the current longest league playoff drought...

Explain your posting name then…

It's the dominant argument being put forward on this thread...

Winners get the kudos.... Sabres are empty handed.

nope

I quoted the AAV, as it takes all the cap shenanigans and neutralizes them. He's #11. And there's really no reason that McD would squander a player's spin and quickness just because he didn't to upset his DC. We've covered this... I guess the best thing we can say is that, in several years, when better players get much more than Oliver, this will look like a steal!!

He was too slow to get separation after the catch... But since you mention it, he had 1549 catches....which should I focus on? Just the "highlights"?

Exactly. I heard it was reported that he said: "man, don't focus on me----you gotta give Isaiah, Cole and Gabe some more LOOKS BRO!"

What more prove do you need that 40 times are useless in assessing WRs? You've tanked your own argument. Maybe you have redefined "deep threat" somewhere? Rice was tearing up the league from day 1. In his first 5 seasons he averaged 18.5 YPC! Was that all YAC? So he was too slow to burn the secondary deep.....but he was too fast for them to catch him after short passes? Hopkins is 5th in deep TD receptions over the past 15 years, behind Desean Jackson, Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown, AJ Green (4.62 40). PFF has in their top 5 deep threats 2 guys who ran 4.45 and 4.5 in the combine---not burners buy any stretch for WR.

This was also brought up in the "dramatic" (lol) Breer piece i cited: "Remember, there’s a chance Hopkins is just where Julio Jones was two years ago, when Jones was traded from Atlanta to Tennessee. And if that’s the case, the team trading for Hopkins probably will have buyer’s remorse. There, of course, is also the chance that a change of scenery could bring the old Hopkins back." I agree with the rest of your post. Clearly, there was little interest in D Hop, for the reasons you mention and that are well laid out in Breer's article.

Teams don't compete with agents. Edmunds agent didn't know what Smith "got paid" until the rest of us did--in mid January of this year (which isn't last year). Where was the talk that Edmunds wanted to "test the market" during last season, when the Bills picked up his 5th year option instead of re-signing him/locking him up? There's this: "I'm gonna let the process take shape," Edmunds told FOX Sports last week in Phoenix at an event for his agency, Athletes First. "You know what I mean? Like, you know, they've been good to me. So I definitely say thank you to the Bills for everything that they've done for me these last five years. But like I said, man, I'm just right now — I'm in the backseat." That was in February....of 2023 (not last year).

lol come on. Ok, let's "run" with that. That makes him faster than another "NEVER a deep threat", Jerry Rice, and as "slow" as Larry Fitzgerald--another guy who could NEVER go deep. Compare them to such legendary 40 yard kings and, therefore, "deep threats" Rondel Menendez, John Ross, Marquis Goodwin, JJ Nelson and Tyquan Thornton. Being a deep threat in the NFL isn't just a function of straight line speed... Even so, D Hop has lost a step, per multiple guys who fill rosters and all passed on even discussing a trade for him.

what offer was Beane competing with last year?
