HappyDays

Knox appears to be participating for the first time since camp started.

Yeah McDuffie has a size problem. We saw it on Mack Hollins' TD in the AFCCG and AJ Brown worked him all night in the SB. I tend to think he is a bit overrated. I'd be interested to see what he would look like outside of KC. L'Jarius Sneed went to Tennessee and became a nobody. Not saying McDuffie would suffer anything close to that kind of drop off but equally I am sure Spagnuolo's scheme maximizes his skill set and covers his flaws.

He is the one player that would give me pause but honestly even him I would be willing to trade. You're talking about a future Hall of Fame pass rusher vs a great but not elite CB. Really just a thought exercise because I don't think Dallas would want Benford back in this trade anyways. And I doubt Parsons will actually get traded in any case. This will have the same outcome as Myles Garrett IMO.

If it comes down to it you move Rousseau. I doubt we would actually do that because he fits the team's culture or whatever, but in reality there's no player on the team other than Allen that should be considered un-tradeable if you're getting an elite player back.

A lot of superstars are divas. This is the drought era lovable losers mentality. KC and Philly have guys on their team that you hate to root for, and those players are racking up championships. Many Bills fans have a weird complex about players that are anything but 100% company men. That diva attitude is the same mentality that makes these guys alphas on the field. We shouldn't be afraid of that, we should welcome it.

Thinking hypothetically what that would look like, you'd have McLaurin on the field for like 80% of snaps. Then a roughly even share between Shakir, Palmer, and Coleman I would think. The formational versatility would be unreal and we'd have a legit #1 WR... All of that and returning the same elite run game that we had last year. Not going to get my hopes up but man that is tantalizing.

Man if the financials really are possible then that is really tempting... Feels more likely that they don't trade him anywhere and this is just a tactic to accelerate negotiations.

The CTW Podcast is on my blacklist now, don't be mad at me! As far as McLaurin of course I would love to make this trade, I just don't see how it's financially possible. We've already tied up a lot of resources on re-signing our own players. We are going to have to roll with what we have and hope for the best.

3 of them.

The run game would suffer a bit, as it did when RVD stepped in against KC last year, but yeah we could manage a few games if we really needed to.

@Ethan in Cleveland please start a thread asking when can we start to freak out about not winning a Super Bowl.

Seems like he's been pretty clearly the best and most consistent pass catcher in camp. That rep is exactly what you want to see from his skillset. No he doesn't get yards of separation but he's still able to use his strength to create leverage and then makes a strong catch for the TD. It appears the work he put in this offseason is paying off.

As someone that didn't care for the pick I've become very intrigued about Walker. His biggest concern coming into the NFL was the back injury and questions about his commitment and work ethic. Well he gets to camp and is already fully healthy and seems to be carving out a role. I still don't feel overly great about his long-term prospects, but for this year and the next couple years? With his raw physical traits he could be a game changer even in a rotational role.
