strive_for_five_guy

When I was in my 20s, I used to play pickup basketball games against guys that had played for nearby D3 colleges. Physically, these guys appeared just as athletic or more than some D1 players. But if you spent a minute talking to them or watching them play, you realized that they just didn’t have it mentally. That’s why a guy like LeBron is so amazing, b/c not only does he have unworldly physical abilities, but his mental awareness and vision on the court is also unheard of.

Would not support it all. Want Josh to win one for us. He’d be dead to me.

I wasn’t around to watch it live, but from the stories I’ve heard and the looking at the stats, OJ’s MVP season seems the most historic and sounds most visually impressive. Ignoring OJ’s post-career actions.

Maybe it was just me, but I loved having a guy like Linval Joseph, other than the fact it was for half a season and he was effectively near the end of his career. Too bad we never draft guys like that.

It’d be ironic if the Bills re-signed Diggs, and Josh needed to go to Diggs’ place the night before a playoff game, to break up a domestic dispute.

Did you even read the story? What was the lie?

What is it that Martin did wrong?

Yep, try to address what you can in FA, fill remaining gaps in the draft. On offense, might just be signing Hollins and another FA WR, but still draft a WR too. On defense, fill what you can in FA for DL and Secondary, but hammer it hard in the draft with remaining draft picks.

No. He’s more valuable to the Bills than someone else.

I mean, how much of Bill Belichick’s success was because of Tom Brady, or Mike Tomlin because of Big Ben? A lot of coaches are nothing more than mediocre without the horses. Luck is an element of a lot in life, although Beane did a lot to position the team to be able to draft someone like Josh, and both and McD have done a lot of the offensive of the ball to help aid Josh’s development too.

He did have some exciting plays, so I could agree he brought more than Basham or Ragland ever did.

Boogie Basham, Reggie Ragland and Roscoe Parrish were all pretty worthless 2nd round picks.

If this team is willing to pay Curtis Samuel $8M/year, pretty sure they’ll find a way to pay Cook potentially $11M or $12M/year for maybe a 3 year deal. Plus, if Cook is only going to make $5M-$6M this year and wants $15M/year, then he’d prob be willing to take like $11M for the next three years, as he gets more money now and still $33M total (in my simple example).

Riley Leonard caught my eye this season, felt like I was watching a less talented version of Josh, but similar styles. Curious where he might go in the draft this year, just don’t know how he’d fit into the Bills’ roster if we’ve already got Trubisky, White, etc.
