Brings back memories… ”Kelly has the tight end all alone at midfield. He’s got nothing but smooth sailing between him and the end zone. He’s at the 50… he’s at the 49… he’s made it all the way from tiny Wabash college to the NFL, he’s livin’ the dream… he’s at the 47…”

You’re all a baunch of knuckleheads.

No shame in that...

Who was it in 2018? 🤔

Fred didn’t “bounce around”, and he was 26 when he joined the Bills. Because he was D3 he had a longer road, but he was co-MVP in the UIF in 2005 and rushed for 1700+ yds and scored 53 TD’s in 18 games, which are still single season records apparently. He was the leading rusher for the Rhein Fire in his only season with them. Despite the high profile competition, he outlasted and outperformed both Marshawn Lynch and CJ Spiller. Like Kurt Warner, FJax was the exception. Johnson has been IN THE NFL for 5 years. He’s carved out a niche. He’s a valuable player. However, when Cook was injured against the Jets last season the Bills featured Davis, not Johnson. Three NFL coaching staffs so far have come to the same conclusion… he’s not a feature back.

He's been in the league for 5 years with 3 teams. With more touches with the Jets his numbers were less impressive. I think part of his success with the Bills is the element of surprise the way Brady uses him, and I don't think he'd be as effective being used as an every down back or as a 1-2 punch with Davis. I'm of the opinion that Cook's fluid acceleration, elusiveness and explosiveness is what makes that running game go. As much as I'm not in favor of paying RB's big $, I'm wary of what would happen to the Bills' cast of misfits offense without a RB with his abilities in it. I think Johnson and Davis would be at best Singletary and Moss with a better OL, except Singletary and Moss had the benefit of a better WR corps to carry the load.

If only Cook could block like Fred.

Fred was a feature back. Cook is a feature back. I like what Ty brings, but I think his stats represent change of pace numbers that wouldn't translate if he was an every down player.

Nah... that would only be a problem if we had a drone name Kaiir Elam.

Yes, but Joe Burrow is going to have a short career as a pocket QB if he continues to take the beating that he has to date.

The Bills were carrying a ton of dead cap last season and had purged their roster. They weren’t expected to be as good as they were. Doesn’t this chart say exactly that?

Trust the process.

This may be heresy, and I don't expect him to leave willingly, but if he's playing at 40+, as much as it would break all involved's collective heart, league history suggests that there may come a time when it's inevitably not in Buffalo.

After a year as a Panther, Beane and McDermott couldn't resist him any longer. 60% of the time it works every time.

Wonder how much they paid? I had one in my teens. I wasn’t a fan. It was cramped and the interior smelled like smoke. It ran ok, I guess. It wasn’t very stylish, but then again none of those French cars are. I wouldn’t buy one again.
