Cook is Thurman. He's the engine of this offense. He's a great receiver. An excellent all around player. Coaching staff should've recognized this at this point in the season.

If Josh has two arms and two legs, the Bills can win it. But in the teams current state, it would take a whole lot of luck. Even if we had beat the Chiefs, the Eagles would steam roll this defense. We have the QB, the question is can we build a team around him. Beane has been missing in the first round every year. Free agency has been lackluster. Combine that with a stubborn head coach who's claim to fame is defense and one that has underperformed against every good team its faced and its a mountain that Josh isn't going to climb himself.

Shanahan would take him in a heartbeat, he'd be close to family and friends in his home state, even closer to his future wife's job.

The drought doesn't end until the Bills win a Super Bowl. 35 years a fan and I'm starting to ponder how many die hard fans have passed on without ever seeing this team do anything but flounder in the biggest moments. Thankfully UFL and CFL are right around the corner. Go Argos!

Not sure what's up with the play calling but Kincaid was underutilized today as was Shakir. But player performance was great today as a group. I think we will be just fine this year on offense. The defense on the other hand...

Except in big games like in the playoffs, he plays damn near perfect. It's his coach and the rest of the team that I would call overrated at this point.

Looks like both are full.

I just find it irritating that we commit so many penalties. The simple game plan, losing, all of that is whatever. But the mental mistakes, lack of discipline is something that can definitely carry over into the regular season. Since 2018 the Bills have been 6th, 9th, 6th, 6th, 16th and 7th in penalties committed. That's a reflection of coaching in my opinion.

I think we need a matte blue helmet with Billy the Buffalo as the logo.

I think that out of all the skill position guys, Martinez has made an interesting case for himself. Certainly not starting caliber but as a backup, I think he could provide a team like the Bills or Ravens a suitable athletic QB who can still provide a threat to run or pass. Most surprising to me is coaches like Holtz and Nolan not getting the calls to move on to at least the collegiate level. Skip especially has proven he can run a program. You may argue its spring football but maintaining success at any level of football is not an easy thing to do.

Considering I am a Gators fan and haven't missed a game since 04, I'll stick with my assessment of Shorter. Pearsall had a big season with Mertz at QB last season but had 33 catches in 2022. Shorter started 9 games and had 4 less receptions. More often than not, he was making the big play when needed that season.

The disrespect to Shorter in this thread is something else. He was Richardson's go to target at Florida. Shakir-like in his ability to convert big 3rd downs. Big frame guy with 4.5 speed, not unlike Coleman. Shorter was the #1 receiver coming out of high school. His big question mark is can he stay healthy. Played through or missed time with injuries every season in college. Wouldn't count on him just being a throw away prospect. Coleman wasn't my preference at receiver but all reports say he was Josh's choice at receiver so nothing else really needs to be said about the pick. I'm sure most people have seen the graphic of his 40 time paired with all of his other drill times, in which he was at the top of the charts in most of them. Not everyone is a sprinter. I'd rather have the guy that's quick out of his break at the top of a route than a guy who's quick out of the blocks. It's also something to note, all the small fast guys in Buffalo haven't worked out. McKenzie was the most notable and he was a gadget guy. Coleman, Davis and Pran-Granger all have a physicality to their game and I think that was the underlying theme of this draft on offense. Get tougher. Get more physical. Your star QB can't be the only guy willing to hurdle or stiff arm a guy for a first down.

SDS is such a douche bag. I'd love to meet him in person and punch him in his stupid ***** face.

One of the reasons the NFLPA is pushing for all grass fields.

Completely false. He doesn't like to tackle. That's the issue. He graded out as one of the best cover corners in the league the final stretch of the season last year covering a couple of the biggest names in football. He doesn't play the run. He isn't physical enough to play in an undersized zone scheme where corners are frequently relied on to set the edge. So asking him to come downhill and fill gaps in the run game is out of the question.
