    You clearly didn’t read the beginning because the scale is for 2020. They are projecting Oliver as a star in 2020. There is nothing to suggest otherwise.

     I still do not expect him to be top 10 this year based on last year. Maybe they mean simply a star compared to the rest of the group because a lot of them are not impressive. If I am wrong about him being a pro bowler next year I will own it gladly.

    In what way do you think he has hit his plateau as a rookie? From what I saw, he was getting better as the season went on. 
     

    Also, those numbers are not the ranking, they are their drafted positions. The ranking is at the bottom of each player (star, starter, work to do)

    They labeled him a star already, which to me means a top ten at his position already ala Boss. Oliver to me is on his way to being top 10 but definitely not there yet, I expect him to be better next year and in successive years.

    This article is appalling on several levels based simply on facts:

    1) Communists started it and allowed it to get worse because they have no moral reason to stop it.

    2) the areas of US getting beat up worse are the most liberal areas.

    3) NYC itself is worst spot in country at least partially due to DeBlasio being pro PC and anti science.

    4) the number of liberals blaming Trump for their lack of action shows that the Evangelicals are not the issue here.

     

    But why let any intelligent thought cause the Times to care.

    :lol:

    I literally went through something similar in college 20 years ago where another student told me I can not say the horrible things I believe on campus. He told me this while in MY house as an invited guest as the friend of a friend. He was going to call campus security on me until someone explained my house was not on campus.

    Some Players still on the Market that I would like to see Buffalo kick tires on...

     

    QB (if willing to accept a BU Role):

    Winston

    Newton

    Flacco

     

    RB:

    Carlos Hyde

    Lamar Miller

    Devonta Freeman  (probably too close of a Skill Set to Singletary)

     

    TE:

    Ricky Seals-Jones

    Delanie Walker

     

    WR:

    Rashard Higgins

    Demarcus Robinson

     

    OL:

    Really none

     

    DL:

    Jadeveon Clowney

    Everson Griffen

    Ezekiel Ansah

    Daniel Wise

     

    LB:

    Darron Lee

    Nigel Bradham

     

    DB:

    Ronald Darby

    Darqueze Dannard

     

     

     

    I would be interested in:

    Hyde

    Walker

    Ansah

    Darby 

     

    I picked them based on what kind of money I expect them to make and I think they could be signed to 1 or 2 year deals. All the QBs I think will want bigger money.

    Lol.

     

    having a lot of tight ends is one thing.  Having good tight ends is another.  At this point, we don’t really have 1 good one. Knox might be, but dropping 25% of his targets tells me he’s not yet “good”.  Sweeney, looked good and could be a nice player....yet he couldn’t get on the field over 3 TEs that aren’t good.  
     

    I’d really like to add someone in the draft, but it’s a pretty week class

    As you point out a really good tight end would be awesome but rarely will a second round  TE be good year one. I think we simply must be prepared for our best TE will be an improved Knox. I truly think we will go BPA at that point.

    A few others are making the argument that RB is never a "glaring" need, and I've often said something like that myself.

     

    But what I typically mean is that you shouldn't feel compelled to spend excessive capital to address the need. A solid offense DOES need effective RB play, though.

     

    So how do the Bills ensure they get solid production from the position over the course of an entire NFL campaign? (Draft Day 2 is the most popular option so far.)

    I definitely agree that an effective ground game is needed to succeed in NFL now but I think that is generally due to a good Online vs a good RB. I hope we get a better RB2 but it will not be a priority in my mind. I think a better TE will do as much for the running game as a better RB2.

    Thanks for the reminder! One of the best shows I’ve seen. Love Ozark!

    Ozark is paying someone a $1000 to watch next season. Look up contest looks legit to me.

    For real.  The NFL stuff is the only sports we have.

     

    these GMs act like it’s so hard.  Just research the guy’s background and FaceTime interviews.  They are going to make a bunch of terrible picks anyways.  
     

    or just let each team’s fans vote on the draft picks 

    Can you imagine how letting fans pick players would work? The draft would go generally to plan until Pat's* and then they would pick 7 punters.

    Isn't that the definition of a backup QB.  I don't see many starting opportunities for Cam.  The important question is:  is Cam an upgrade to our current back up?  I believe that he would be yes.

    You and I disagree on what Cam is willing to do when he arrives wherever that is. If he is not the starter he will do what he must to become the starter, he will sow division in the locker room. Skill set is far less important  on a backup QBs resume than the proper mentality.

    Hi:  I took all kinds of heat when I started this thread.  Well..... I just read on CBS Sportsline that the Bills are the 2nd  most likely landing place for cam Newton. 

     

    https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cam-newton-released-four-most-logical-landing-spots-for-longtime-panthers-quarterback/

     

    It makes sense on many levels.

    It would make sense only from a skill set stand point- right now Can is a lesser version of JA. I understand he was MVP only 4 years ago but that was a long time ago in regards to the hits he has taken. Cam will end up in a situation where he feels he can start and Buffalo is not one of them.

    Have some balls and just outright call me a white racist you *****. 

     

     

    Many people on this site will do that but he thought he would soft sell it. a month ago I was called a racist for saying I would rather have JA than Lamar Jackson. The fact that the only two QBs I like better than JA is Wilson and Mahomes has no bearing on my dislike of Jackson's future. I have realized  that my argument was so sound they had to make up a lie to make themselves feel better.

    Honestly I might be in the minority but i don’t think newton was ever that good of a QB. Once you take away his athleticism he’s mediocre at best. He’s not a good pocket passer and only puts up good stats against bad teams. No leadership skills and a premadonna attitude to go with it. Was never a Cam Newton fan, especially after he threw some kids computer out the window while at Auburn 

     

    Two things that I think you are being unfair on- discounting his athleticism is weak because he was a supreme athlete and if he did not use it then he never would have been a QB. Second his stats were good against good teams for several years. Lastly minor point- the computer throwing incident was at University of Florida. Overall though I want no piece of 2020 Cam.

    I have no clue how a guy who had 3.5 sacks last year wants $20 million. It's insane. Clowney is a good player, but I don't feel he is elite.

    The Titans just gave Tannehill $127 million for 4 years with $91 almost fully guaranteed. Clowney looks at that and says he is worth 60 million over 3 years. I don't agree with Clowney or giving Tannehill that much but it is out there.
