  1. Touch goes a long way when you talk about accuracy. Tyree Jackson was putting them on the money at the combine, but he was whipping fastballs on 5 yard routes and he got chewed out for making his WRs drop balls. This is something Allen did consistently his rookie year. To put him in the same class as Mayfield is ridiculous. If the Browns fire Hue before the season they win the division on his shoulders.
  2. Apparently I'm in the radical minority of folks who don't believe that John Brown and Cole Beasley represent much of an upgrade for this offense. I think to plan on antyhing more than 1000 yards and 8 TDs from the two of them combined is to be unrealistically optimistic. With Shady at the end of his career, and a journeyman tight end we don't have any game breaking talent in my opinion. If we want to actually beat good teams and not just lose with more dignity we need guys that can break the game wide open. The type of players who are a threat to score anytime a ball is in their vicinity, the type of players who are open when they're double covered, the type of player that comes down with a 3rd and 20 jump ball while getting drilled by Earl Thomas. These aren't they. I''m going Metcalf Rd 1, Best RB or TE available in Rd 2, and David Sills in Rd 3. Draft all the defense you want after that. They aren't winning you any games if you can't score at will.
  3. Can he score touchdowns or are we just gonna keep playing small ball hoping to win 3-0?
  4. That 9.5 sack year was his only good performance of his otherwise disappointing career, and if memory serves he got 5-6 sacks in one game.
  5. Peyton Manning, Marshawn Lynch, and Alshon Jeffrey are just 3 notable acquisitions that teams would not have won a super Bowl without in the last 5 years alone Darrelle Revis, and as much as it pains me to say it, Stephon Gilmore are honorable mentions.. Other teams like the Rams have risen to dominance through liberal use of FA. This very common take is bad, for a lot of reasons. Winning a championship takes a bit of luck, but getting yourself in position to win a championship year in and year out is what skillful use of FA can and does accomplish.
  6. We need to draft DK Metcalf and we need him to be the next Megatron if we want to get where we want to go.
  7. This is what I didn't want to burn the energy to type. I think some people are impressed by McD and Beane, because they've never heard this schtik before. In my line of work I see niave and inexperienced execs extoll it continuously. They're basically saying, trust us - we know what we're doing and no we don't have key performance metrics to back it up. Spoiler: They don't know what they're doing. I've seen this movie a dozen times.
  8. Rich Gannon came out of nowhere to put together an MVP season at age 35, so maybe we should re-sign Losman. i hear he looked good slinging the ball at Clemson.
  9. Yea, but if you want to overpay at least do it for good players. You could have had Antonio Brown for the same price as John Brown and Cole Beasely. If you think we won that deal, you probably think a Target knife set is better than one proper knife.
  10. Frank Gore is 36 and Cole Beasley is 30. What in the hell are you talking about?
  11. Did he send the GIF when it was reported we were trading for AB?
  12. No massive holes? We have ZERO skill position players of any significance. I dont think 3rd tier players like Brown, Beasley and Gore are going to do a thing to address the offensive incompetence that's been on display for this team. The AFC continues to get stronger and stronger, and the Bills just stand pat. As of now, we're the 3rd most talented team in our own division, and unless they make significant improvements between now and August, I think we're on pace to be in a similar or worse draft position next April.
  13. What exactly is our Xbox one?
  14. They're moderate risk moderate reward like all Bills moves. These guys are all on the backside of their career, and now the Bills are asking them to carry the load. They overpay them enough so that they become the guy.
  15. Trying to hit it on the cheap. Like Spencer Johnson et al.
  16. That's exactly it. Seems like Buffalo is always trying to take another team's niche rotational player and pay him to come here and try to be a marquee player.
  17. Did I forget the #championship?
  18. These signings remind me of the early 2000s. The Bills brass are bringing in consolation prizes with a general philosophy of you can win with a bunch of average JAGs. Morse excluded. Don't see us making a deep run on the backs of Cole Beasley and John Brown.
  19. Don't need WR's when all you do is run the triple option, wishbone, and wildcat.
  20. Gary V is such an insufferable toolbox. I bet he watches Wolf of Wallstreet naked.
  21. Well, it's kinda like sending someone to the store to buy an xbox with all the cash they need and find out they bought this with the cash from a guy in the parking lot: ] If you aren't angry, you're easily scammed.
  22. The titans already grossly overpaid.
  23. If Foles beats Brees, I think you have to trade Wentz. Wentz has one good year to his name so far.
  24. If you just forget about what they're getting paid, and how they were acquired, who's the better QB? I think the answer is Foles. Obviously Wentz has more talent, but Foles is the one taking this team deep for the second year in a row. You might win less regular season games with him, but he's already won more SB's.
