What makes you think we won't alter our offense. Yes, studying film helps, but teams knew we ran the ball most of the time and still couldn't stop us. Just because you know a teams tendencies it doesn't always give you an advantage.

what's wrong with just throwing to Sammy over the middle and in the endzone?

average length of a career is irrelevant when discussing individual players skills. For Miller to improve significantly in his 2nd season is hardly 'miraculous'. You say the odds are not good for him to improve- tell us, what are the odds? not that the odds matter for this particular instance. In reading your posts, I really don't think you have a sense of how football teams operate.

my post was deleted, i considered that a reprimand. You said the posters you disagreed with were either stupid or dicks, I said someone was clueless. Your comments are acceptable, but mine is not?

I would say the 'belief' a player will improved isn't just a prayer, it's based on research and watching a player practice and play in games and understanding what his weaknesses are. Based on what they see and their combined decades of coaching and evaluation experience they determine that a player should improve after his rookie season enough to warrant not using another high draft choice on the same position the next season. I'm sure they have a plan B or C or D, (backups, FA's, trades...), but obviously those choices aren't as good as Plan A. I think you either don't understand how teams plan their roster or just look to criticize. It's not bad to not understand, none of us really do, but most , I think , have a better understanding than you do.

Just because you don't understand the thinking at OBD doesn't mean it's a bad plan. They drafted Miller in the 3rd round last year, teams don't generally give up on draft picks after 1 season, not all draft picks are solid players in their rookie years. Henderson will be in his 3rd year, last year was riddled with a serious illness, this is a big year for him, but you need to give players time. We have picked up a few FA linemen, Mills and Velasco, and probably some more yesterday as UFA. If the expectation that a linemen must succeed as a rookie or he's a bust, you will draft linemen every year and lose opportunities to upgrade in other areas.

no middle ground. Solid starter maybe? When people use cliches it usually doesn't fit.

You have no idea. You're just guessing but really have no clue what will happen this year. 2 players picked late last year made the team, and one, Karlos Williams was very good. The year before Seantrel Henderson started at RT as a 7th rounder.

I'm talking about every QB they look at. It's absurd to think they don't do a large scale evaluation of each QB prospect, but unless this is a franchise QB right out of the gate, physical ability is a huge factor, this is football ya know, a game dominated by extraordinarily athletic people.

not arm strength, running ability, deep ball ability, potential development, leadership qualities, coachability, character.... you can't be serious.

You said it was interesting , I just commented that it wasn't because the 2 subjects are not in the same field and their opinions shouldn't be compared. I don't understand why this is such a big issue. He wanted to pay for a BJ. Big deal. When he is an NFL player , buffalo girls will give him one for free.

Not really, Kiper isn't a professional scout or GM, Whaley is. Same size at KW

it had better be.

what if the team is passing on first and 2nd down and lining up 5 receivers... does he still only play on third down? You know teams don't just run on 1st and 2nd, and only throw on 3rd down. What about 2 minute offense, does KW stay on the field every play?

you keep saying 'if ever' , i don't think it means what you think it means.

Williams and Dareus will play every down this season?? Is that the point you are trying to make?

We're not talking about starting, it's about rotating. And if Williams missing half the season again, he will play. lol????

Which safety and WR would have seen substantial playing time? If ever? You think he may never play at all? And we should take your opinion seriously?

exactly

which one? if you going to criticize a pick, you need to do better than that

sounds about like the going rate? He can afford more now.

and any of those would be a starter this season?

Which offensive playmaker wouldn't also be 'situational'?

What starter would we pick here? What starting positions are still open?

yeah, stopping the run is so overrated. Let's go back to giving up 200 yards a game. That worked so well.
