No one is saying they want him to be the leading rusher. They're saying that the people who are freaking out that his running is putting him at some sort of increased risk for injury. The numbers tell the story that the pocket is more dangerous and the 'anecdotal' agrees.
Not to dismiss the importance of handling player injuries, but I think it's more important that Beane has a good relationship with agents and it's known the Bills don't play a lot of games like trying to diminish a player's value in negotiations. It's been mentioned that Beane is pretty straight forward with players/agents on what they want to do and what they can do then works with the agents to structure the deal.
I think there's two things..
1. Unimaginable tragedy at the start of the year
2. He's being asked to do more in a blocking role as the offensive line is utterly putrid
1. Why would the Bills let the contract be bought out?
2. If he left during the season, he'd never work in the NFL again.
Whoever has 'that line of thinking' is an idiot.
They can manage it well enough, but it doesn't seem to be in the game plan anymore. It is extremely effective in countering what teams are doing to the Bills especially without a physically dominating run game.
Literally would make them worse if he played. He can't hang onto the ball which is why the broncos (fighting hard to be the worst team in the league with the texans) cut him. The silly panic on here has reached all new highs (lows).
Ya know, this game has given me time to think and I feel like the XFL should set itself apart and remove all rules regarding steroids, performance enhancers, cryborg limbs, etc.
You guys are way too harsh. Just like how Josh Allen is the leading rusher and the QB week after week being the best at two things.. no one else in the NFL is being their teams QB and best call of duty player every week.
The regular season is practice for the Bills. It would be nice if they looked a tad better in practice and didn't have multiple guys getting injured every week, but ya know.. it's practice..
