I have no problem with this. Draft a young kid this year.. Next year McCoy/Gore retires or goes to another team. Its not like its a multi year deal. Bring in a 4th round RB.. 2 future HOF grooms the kid.. This is nothing but good for me.. they split there time so less energy used. I think its brilliant. Not to mention McCoy and Gore are friends.. They will have 0 problems splitting time with each other. Gore is still a great pass catcher, he still runs over people and still one of the best pass blocking RB's in the game.
Get over it/yourself concerning the age..
Who CARES? how many times did we see him pinch on a DT and it was like slow motion for him watching the ILB/OLB go between him and the RT? Too OFTEN! His PFF is average and his play with Buffalo was Sloppy at best.
Long is a High reward low risk move. Move Teller to the right side and draft a guard second round.
LT Dawkins
LG Rookie
C Morse
RG Teller
RT Ty
Based on Long's contract if cut before he plays we do not loose much on cap. if he earns it great.. But don't expect Long to be a starter.. I think his PFF Is well below 50.
So this is your third post and your going to insult the idea of having 2 older guys for ONE year then the rookie steps up? TWO FUTURE HOF working with a rookie RB and you don't get all the upside to this? RB position doesn't need teaching?
Your either a troll or have no clue about the position. The transition for a RB that's not a Elliot for example.. the learning curve is huge from College to NFL no matter what the position.
clueless horrible post
I am guessing that your going to get around 45% snaps for Gore/McCoy.. This is a great thing and less pressure on McCoy. Last 10% of the snaps will go to ivory and who ever else.
IF I were the bills I would trade Ivory after we get our future RB in the draft.. What a wonderful learning experience a rookie RB would have sitting.. watching.. learning from 2 future HOF on the same team.
Personally I feel politics has no place for the forums.. everyone has opinions and the right them on this subject WITHOUT getting bashed over it. Can this be moved please?
I think you guys need to take a closer look at the contract.. we take a low cap hit if he does not work out in the first year, kind of like Long's contract.
So have Gore/Lynch/trade for AP and a basket in a pear tree..Lets bring back crappy CJ Spiller while we are at it and any other over the hill RB..
uh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I think with the trades they had to make to get us THIS QB has put this team behind schedule. That being said, in one draft I feel they have managed to get a franchise QB and a extremely talented ILB. This GM has had to deal with dead cap space up the kazoo because of how the last gm structured contracts. Some say a good GM is based on being able to keep/trade/draft a solid QB. I think he has done that on both sides of the field..
This is the year that will decide his fate.. Can he fix this offensive line? Can he get better WR talent? and does he put us in cap purgatory in the following years even if he can do this, this year...
Great start but I want to see what he does this year before I grade him.

Update from the #Bills on the Antonio Brown: After intense talks that went into last night, and almost getting there on trade compensation, Buffalo says they are out. The #Steelers now must find another suitor.
