What's the opposite of short?

We dont need another WR. We have Watkins, Woods, Goodwin. He's a 3/4 WR at best. No reason to pay him.

Well, we did have folks betting he had more sacks than Mario his rookie year. Let's hit 5 before we say he can do more than that.

I expect my first round pass rushers to be explosive yes. I don't care to watch Shaq plod around and get 5 clean up sacks all year that Hughes causes.

Agree, except the Pegulas are horrible. Every decision they have made has made this team worse. Every one.

If you draft a "starter" because your position is empty, that doesn't make it a good pick. EJ was a "starter" at one point too.

Shady was already locked up to 2017 when he was traded. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82941f7d/article/inside-lesean-mccoys-45m-contract-extension

You're basically arguing that people who recieve 6 year contracts would still have confidence instilled by the Pegulas if they fired their last 4 predecessors 1 year into their 6 year contracts. We'll just have to disagree.

We'll probably cut that 2019 4th round pick just to prove that NOBODY is safe.

Chip also traded or let walk talented "non-fits." Darby may fit the Bill.

And that's a sliding scale of "consistency" too.

That's not what I said. Read slower.

Then, at best, he's an unknown. Good? Not a chance.

You, Rex and this guy might be the only three folks who think Ragnuts is "good."

I'll ignore the bolded, because it's not germane. We all want to give the Pegula's the chance to "get it right." But it's kinda ironic that you think giving someone a contract extension, not just the Bills, but anyone in the NFL establishes confidence. But we will take a look at the Bills. Rex Ryan was given 5 years, which you'd argue established confidence. He was canned after two years. The next guy getting a 5 year deal may say, "Hey, hold on, I don't think I really have 5 years." Doug Whaley was given a 4 year extension with 3 years already with the team. He was canned after one year. The next guy getting a 4 year extension, with 3 years accrued already may say, "Hey, hold on, I don't think I really have 4 more years. " Which brings me back to my point, that contracts and extensions don't establish as much confidence when you've demonstrated a history of disregarding your previous confidence when handing out those deals. This isn't about pissing on the decision makers. It's about conveying the very real repercussions of their mistakes. Besides, after a while, how fast you move away from bad moves becomes less and less important if you're moving on to another bad move. If the Pegulas get it right with these new guys, great. If they fire them 2 years into 5 year deals, we'll be having this discussion again. And probably looking at bringing in some old NFL corpse retreads to man our front office.

It's not Doug Whaley's fault that none of the players he drafted are here - his fans, probably.

Doug as signed on for 7 years. He got 3 and then a 4 year extension. To match Rex's 5 year deal. How long of a contract you give someone is irrelevant if you can them early.

What did they give Chip? What did we give the Rexit and Whales?

This can't be true! 26CB told us there's no way they trade Ragland, he's a promising second year player coming off injury. He's not having any problems in this defense, at all. Of course, this was right after there was no way Watkins got traded. And before that, there was no way Shaq was gonna miss time with his shoulder. Eball has finally met his match!

Preseason has never screamed anything.

I assure you Doc, they aren't looking at a single preseason game. That's not how NFL teams operate.

Yes, preseason play is exactly what they were looking at when deciding whether to pay Sammy's contract.

didn't he take the worst team ever in NFL history to the playoffs? And then got fired? Who cares?

It's also perfectly reasonable to suggest that they made sure everybody was on the same page when they were hired.

It'd be nice if you added an opinion. Or just not bothered posting. Tre White is gonna have a pick y'all.
