The last 3 seasons the Bills have had 3 of their best 5 all time offenses. How has that worked out when the games actually mattered? Our offense generally hasn't been a problem outside of Allen's elbow injury. How much better do we get by adding more pass catchers? If the goal was to take pressure off of Allen, this just puts more on him, imo. Maybe if we had some players that could win games for us even when Allen wasn't playing MVP ball, that would finally get us over the hump.

I too buy all my jerseys straight from the source. I've bought 10 or so over the years and the only dud was may Dahlin 50th anniversary. The gold looks like garland.

What exactly should we be remembering about Harty? He has 1 season above 186 yards and has a career high of 3 TDs. He's Marquise Goodwin.

That's not an NFL catch. Is that supposed to be the reason we're wowed?

Stop it. He might be a good player someday, but Travis Kelce is the greatest TE of all-time and he's bigger, stronger and faster than this kid by a good bit. a 6'3" TE doesn't instill fear into anyone. Ask Knox.

You can't say BPA when you traded up for the guy.

Are you planning to play him at SS? Then maybe. He has the build of a high schooler and didn't exactly light it up in college. Even his highlights are a ton of busted plays. Seems like a career special teamer to me unless he can put on 20lbs of lean muscle and maintain or improve his speed. I don't even think he's backup caliber. Based on his 110 snaps where our starting MLB missed time, I think McD agrees.

I remember Klein was great in 2018. I had him on my fantasy team and it seemed he was on the verge of a breakout. He's been pretty much ass before and since.

Plenty of teams that have drafted MLB high the draft in the past would probably be thinking "it has to be MLB" or they likely would have drafted someone else. Give me Simpson of Campbell and I'm happy. If you think you can trade up int he 2nd and get them, great. As long as it's not another Cody Ford situation.

That's the most extreme bananas take I've ever heard. I assume this is in relation to Josh Allen suffering a career ending injury because of Brown?

I think it "has to be" because of what the fallback option is. We can still hope Spencer Brown becomes capable and if not we know what Quessenberry is. Dodson or Bernard int he middle and this team is DOA.

LB has to be the pick at rd1 after we failed to secure David or Wagner. We could use 2 of the next 3 for OL and the other for WR.

Of all the places to rob, banks are the most respectable.

That wasn't the only option. You are allowed to hire people from outside the building that you didn't previously work with in Philly or Carolina.

He's also a likely a top 5 all time NFL coach. The exception doesn't prove the rule.

Bills: Leslie Frazier is gone Me: WOOOOO!!!!! Bills: Sean McDermott will be calling the plays Me:

if he operates as our defacto #3 this year with Marlowe playing an emergency role or being a camp cut if we get additional depth, I'm all for it. Seems like he has promise and should be an upgrade over Johnson. If Hamlin does ever return, I don't think 2023 is likely.

Assuming we don't pick up a guy like Wagner, I'm taking Simpson. Wouldn't be mad at Campbell either.

Does he come with a wheelchair?

Kid is a monster. We should have been all over this for this price. Highly unlikely we get a better player at that cost int he draft.

So maybe we put him in on running plays and McGovern on passing plays?

So one might say he has "good Hodgkin's"?

I thought Hamlin played well as a backup safety. he was a hard hitter who was aggressive to the ball. He had problems in coverage and took some poor angles, but lots of players did. He may never be a Pro Bowl caliber player, injury aside, but I'm cool keeping him as a #3 if he can return to form. We do need to draft a replacement for Johnson though. That dude is awful.

Adding a truly elite RB like Henry would give a whole new dynamic to this offense. If we want to win a super bowl I think it has to involve the game being less dependent on Allen, and a more balanced scheme that featured an incredibly strong running game with a QB like Allen could be what's needed to put us over the top. Said differently, put Allen on the Titans 3 years ago and I think they win the Super Bowl easily. However, that all assumes we'd change the offense to utilize Henry, and this staff has given me no indication that they'll build scheme around talent. They're old school, "this is my scheme" guys, so to that end I think either Ekeler or Robinson would be the better fit if they wanted to target a #1.

I've already explained all of this in the thread already and I know you're an intellectually dishonest person from your threads here, so I'm not going to waste my time debating you on this. You don't want to be proven wrong, you just want to stir controversy 20 pages into a thread and show us all how smart you think you are. I will address one minor point though: "As for the first - if PFF's hypothesis isn't that a player's past performance is reflective of what they're capable of contributing and predictive of their future results, what exact purpose do you believe their grades serve? For what purpose do you believe they are marketing them?" They serve to measure a player's past performance as every sports statistic in the history of sports has done. It's impossible to grade a player's future performance conclusively as the human being behind the player is a massive variable that isn't included int he model. The grades they generate are a data point for future hypothesis. A coach or GM could look at a player's score against certain competition and think that if the player was strong against teams featuring an 'X' type of team and they don't fall off, they could provide Y increase in value over Z player currently on the team. They could use it to identify players are inconsistent but could possibly take the next step with coaching, separate players who apparently had good seasons due to stats from those who actually made big plays, etc. Just because the data doesn't indicate future results from past performance doesn't mean human beings don't include it in their evaluation. it's also not the end all-be all. A pff analysis could be one of a dozen or more data points in a player evaluation. So their method isn't scientific because they don't give you their IP? Their model is their entire business. Privately held companies that operate in a scientific field typically aren't in the habit of discloses the all of the details of the algorithms that you would need to reproduce their work. In my business my companies have observed our customers and potential customers, formed hypothesis, run experiments and analyzed the results of those test to form conclusions and in not one of those companies have we ever shared our methodology in a reproducible way with the general public. The isn't a peer reviewed paper of a scientific discovery. Do you understand the difference?
