The Bills should sign kicker Jake Bates from the UFL
Mr. WEO replied to LeGOATski's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wonder what he could do facing real/pro ST pressure... -
There are no rumors about Claypool--guys a bum. I couldn't find anything like him on Thomas Jr. I don't know what a "rumored injury" is. He was projected as the 4th WR to go and he was---clearly if you think it wasn't even doable, then no other team looking for WR there was worried about whatever rumors you are talking about. Look at the moves the Bears have made the past 3-4 years. Look at the results. The Bears fans would swap rosters with the Jets today--stacked D and Offense with proven weapons. . Broncos have been to and won a SB in the past 9 years. ATL in the past 6.

The Beats had no problem getting rid of their first rounders. But that doesn't answer my question. By all accounts, Claypool is a head case. Not so for Thomas Jr--unless you would like to make something up.. I didn't say they reached for Williams. They picked him because their recent 2 1st round QB picks were awful. You and I could have made those picks. You understand the difference right? The fact that the Bears are on their 4th GM in a dozen years is your evidence that they are not a poorly run franchise? That's not a convincing argument...

So... character concerns are top of mind for the Bills with the WR? How do you explain "locker room cancer" Claypool signing? Good one! And it's difficult for me to believe the bolded part is a serious question. They are a horribly run franchise....for years. they have played 4 playoff games in the last 18 years, one win. They have just spent 3rd 1st round pick in the past 7 drafts on a QB. They traded 4 picks to move up 1 spot to get Trubisky--a guy who no one was going to pick at #3. They overdrafted Fields and then tossed him to the curb after 3 seasons....for a 6th round pick! No they lunged for Caleb Williams, a guy who many question his maturity, because they had to. Outside of the Browns and the Jags, how can you argue that the Bears aren't the worst run franchise in the NFL? You were joking right??

Tim Graham article on Kim Pegula and Bills ownership
Mr. WEO replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
Graham takes a lot of heat here for breaking stories. Theres nothing sensationalistic about this story or his presentation. He has infinitely more details than you and I have regarding this. I have no reason to doubt the facts he has written his story on. Her husband was let go after the article was published. The “churn” you describe has really and simply been Pegula concentrating the control of the teams…on Terry Pegula. -
same as what? His two career high seasons? That’s beside the point. in 2020 he was a solid QB, the opposite of what the other poster claimed. It was right in the middle of his career of output.

Mr. WEO replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
he's still trying to figure out why Howard Milstein hasn't bought the Bills yet, what with all that property he bought around Niagara Falls... lol -
worked for #14...amirite??!! for a single season--only because he and Beasley were the only guys in the room... Well if that has any bearing on being a passable WR FA then the Bills passed on a far more committed (crazy) holy roller in Zay Jones, no? I was responding to the previous poster who said Ben was garbage at the time. Then you also responded. But, yes, he had 4900 in 2014--but this was 1 of only 2 career seasons over 4500 yards---clearly outlier seasons so their comparison isn't particularly noteworthy. You could have pointed out that only 2 years before Claypool arrived, Ben had his career best season (his 15th!). 7550 yards, 55 TDs over 2 seasons--after 18 years--that's better than his career season average (even not counting his 2 game 2019). That's solid play.

Tim Graham article on Kim Pegula and Bills ownership
Mr. WEO replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
Blame politicians for being craven and feckless? Ok...done, now what? Bills ownership could have chosen not to threaten to move their beloved Buffalo Bills if no stadium deal was forthcoming. The Bills previous owner would live another 22 years beyond 73... Also, wee aren;t talking about estate planning/wills to determine the succession of his billions--of which Pegula certainly long ago began such a process and I'm sure it's up to date. We are talking his consolidation of ownership to himself (by taking control of Kim's share), with a sliver going to the daughter who is not Kim's child. Sabres: 2011-current. It's a reiteration of the 30% policy. The owners have to approve any changes in succession. -
He had 3800 (16th) yards and 33 TDs (tied for 7th) on a 12-3 team in 2020. Why would that prompt retirement? How is that "garbage" QB play? Try again...

Tim Graham article on Kim Pegula and Bills ownership
Mr. WEO replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
well, that's obviously not what this story is about--I think you understand this. And sure, maybe his son in law was so bad at his job that Terry waited until Jessica wrote that piece about her mother's current condition (for which we rightly thanked her) before he fired the guy (and subsequently gave a share to another daughter). That makes total sense!! He was that bad---and the timing of Terry finally realizing this was just coincidence!! Also, the NFL does not require a succession plan per say: "The NFL requires families that control teams to collectively own 30% of the club, with the controlling owner share smaller, with the minimum level determined by the number of years of ownership" None of that matters anyway, as succession of Bills ownership is currently not an issue as Pegula seems healthy and just took over his wife's half of the team. So, over the past year or so, he has become president of the Bills and Sabres, and nearly 100% owner of both teams. That's not a guy thinking about succession.... -
Big Ben and Tua are "garbage"? anyway, classic Beane off-season WR addition.....

Yes, that was posted a few days ago. Some nice catches, some really bad drops.

well, ok… but the point of the question was how is the value of the gifted share arrived at by the taxman? -

Mr. WEO replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
Then he cuts out his son in law and gives a slice to the other daughter---after essentially taking over his incapacitated wife's half? This guy's a peach. I wonder how he pays a gift tax on the share he's giving his daughter?
