im certainly with you there, I would have been fine using our first this year on Mahomes while still keeping TT
Need to solidify the position at all costs
Having Maclin here will help whoever is under center/in the shotgun formation (bringing the thread back to Maclin!!!)
ok gotcha...yea he will be a FA, Brees, Rivers...there will be options for other QB needy teams, and we can draft ours
Unless TT has a stellar year, im not betting on it, but its not out of the realm of possibilities
I'm not saying they didnt get their player, I'm saying tanking doesnt work very well in the NFL - EVEN if you get the player you want. It is hard to win in the NFL and even getting your franchise QB doesnt guarantee anything
I hope your talking about some other team and not us
A) the Pats wont trade him in division
B) why would we want him? what has he ever done? of course he would have some success in spot starts in the Patriots system, I could go play QB there and put up respectable numbers (and I dont even have any arms)
diff situations...the eric moulds/peerless price scenario would better fit us drafting Zay Jones with having Sammy
started RJ and ruined the Bills forever
The only thing that worries me about the Ravens is he would be THE GUY there with a chance to put up bigger numbers most likely than he would get here....but it probably comes down to money and comfort with players/staff on roster (im hoping)
I personally do not think Schefter is anywhere near reliable when he reports on local teams
I'm not saying I believe the Bills Fanatics tweet, but I dont think Schefter is the one to hold a candle to
I am all for bringing in talent.
We have the cap room easily.
We need proven NFL WRs and especially those with starting experience and a successful resume. The young heads will listen.
We have a very talented offense - all feelings for TT aside.
I am hoping like hell we can make this happen. 2 year deal, even a 1 year prove it deal is fine, just roster this guy!
many around here think we are destined to that low win total as long as TT is the QB...I disagree, but thats neither here nor there in regards to Maclin
I really hope this can happen. I have to imagine there are many teams out there that would be very interested in Maclin though, and teams that he would probably view as closer to being championship ready (you know, if he cares about winning, like most players). I would over pay for him on a short deal to get him to choose us. Hopefully the personal relationships and the immediate starter spot will sway him to Buffalo...
turns a roster weakness into better than adequate
What is the tailgate scene like? Parking lots like at bills games? (I don't mean partying like at bills games because there's only a few other teams that go as hard, I'm talking set up wise). Some cities are bar scenes pre game and some are lots, and some are lame and they don't really tailgate.
the fact that he was grossly over weight and lived a hard life in the NFL (who knows what they were pumping into these guys) I don't think its that crazy for him to die at 48. He was not your average 48 YO.
