Mr. WEO

you seem to have recovered

OJ only ran for 57 TDs in 9 seasons with the Bills??? I always figured it was a lot more.

one of the worst Defenses in the NFL can't find work for a "healthy" old, completely banged up Tre White???!!! Beane pulling that 1 year contract from his secret stash.... Give him a pair of tickets in the Takeo Spikes section

Favre wasn't a "bust" in Atlanta for his one year there. He was a rookie backing up a starter who went 10-6, won a WC game that year. He can't be on this list. Flutie was certainly a bust before he went to the CFL--not able to do much on 2 different teams. He was 8-5 as a starter in NE, but he wasn't productive and threw more INT than TD. what is the NFL supposed to do with guys like Trey Lance, who prove to be good college QBs, but no good in the NFL? 1st round QBs famously bust out for a variety of reasons: can't handle the speed of the game, they get injured or they are just too dumb to play the NFL game. Lance may be all 3...

He met with doctors, they cleared him to play football. Why would they say it's "what's best for" him? No team or other involved physician is hired to counsel players to quit playing the sport, or not.... Doctors aren't in the business of recommending or discouraging careers for their patients. They simply explain risks and benefits and let patients decide what happens next. Tua didn't need a doctor to tell him that he is risking his future health by playing again...and since no doctor has deemed him unfit to play, he apparently has accepted the risk and will play. Why is this hard to understand?

neither the NFL nor the players via their union want to keep their star players out of the game for possible concussions. so it's smelling salts to wake you up for your 3 minute "independent neurotrauma exam" and back out of the tent you go...

Flutie in Buffalo....

typo--56 rounded up.

Exactly. Wither Freddy Kitchens COTY?? Looks likes Stefanskis HC prowess began and ended with an ascending Mayfield

Dorsey will be calling plays from under the bus that pulled up…

yes. The numbers are similar, as you can see. 93 or 63, 52%, 54%.......

His % (56.5, 55.6, 51.6, 55.6) was pretty stable on the same team with the same QB and the same playbook despite being targeted 63 to 93 times....

I don't know. Have their been any who actually examined him and recommended retirement? Who's medical advice is he ignoring?

not equal, no. But close, given the numbers--as you can see. So it "means" they would have had similar numbers if they had similar targets. There's nothing tricky about that math. Cooper is the #1 on the Bills by default. They don't otherwise have one.

Bills 24-20.

It would be hard to be on your 4th team if you have been been traded 4 times (good pickup lol). Anyway, Diggs wasn't traded for any of your 2 existing reasons for a trade--you may have to expand your list. I have been talking about drops and catch % since I responded. Had Davis last year had as many targets as Cooper, he would have had about 1200 yards and 11 TD and 5 drops--- and no one would be saying he's terrible. Cooper doesn't have great hands--that's the topic being discussed.

He's been cleared to return no?

The QB % was a means to compare Cooper's QBs, as NewEra was. They all have about the same %. Obviously Watson isn't Josh Allen, but he completes 63% of his passes this year and he has no real problem finding his TEs, for example. Plus it is still true that Cooper dropped 10 passes in only 6 games. That's not on Watson.

The question was why would 4 teams trade him? Players don't trade themselves. The Bills traded Diggs--is it because they are "trash" or because they were dying of cap restriction (despite paying him 31 million not to play for them). The answer, as you know, is neither. They could stand him any more. All I have said is he is a legit #1 for the Bills and he has bad hands. Neither you nor the other guy above can dispute this. Your comparison of QBs completion % clearly didn't have the effect you were hoping for. Sure, for instance, Watson sucks (he's always been a flash in the pan)....but his completion % isn't much different from anyone else you listed.

It was not nefarious. It was a simple question. Each team chose not to keep him because he wasn't worth keeping compared to what they could get for him. Remember when everyone said Diggs wasn't a problem in Minny and claimed he would not be a problem here in Buffalo? Well, clearly all of that was wrong---pointing this out early on in his Bills career isn't "nefarious". Good players get traded for various reasons. Sometimes it's just because a team doesn't want the guy anymore. If you can't answer the simple question, that's ok too.

"ran out of town" is a joke here lol--fans can't run players out of town, despite what many here think (see the guy below, for instance). but they were down on him for drops and low catch %--same as Cooper. Drops are drops--balls that should have been caught. His 1st target as a Bill was dropped. He has 11 drops the past 7 games. Derek Carr is a career 65% passer, Josh Allen is 63%. This season, Watson completed 63.4% of his passes first 6 games (that includes Cooper's 10 drops, of course). I said Cooper is a legit #1WR for the Bills. Where in that did you read "he's no good"?

he's been a Bill for a week. I was a vocal Gabe Davis defender here (you know, when he was on the Bills roster), so I asked the question based on @generic_bills_fan post above. Pretty simple. if you want to join this discussion, you are welcome to. Maybe you can answer my question, since you are eager to contribute.

I heard it was 500 cities. This is pretty bad pandering by the Gov--"I saved the Bills from moving to 5 other places that I cannot name! Oh, by the way, the stadium will cost over 2 billion, so $650 million is nothing!" lol--politicians at their craven worst.

What's Cooper's excuse, this being his 4th team?

He is specifically restricted from this. Why would any team give up valuable info to his "minions"? That makes no sense. These color guys never get any meaningful info at these weekday visits. It's as much of a joke as "sideline reporting" or those coach interviews as they head off the field for halftime.
