Rock-A-Bye Beasley

I knew it wouldn’t be long before someone said this. Allen’s numbers aren’t good because he has inferior receivers but try to get good receivers and they won’t be successful here because the QB isn’t as good. Circular-loser-mentality logic.

Who? DK all the way. I like the TEs and OTs but the difference in potential from them to the potential free agents isn't as big as the difference between DK and the available WRs. That's before you consider the price difference as well. There's no way to get a #1 WR this offseason outside of hitting on one in the draft. There are plenty of starting caliber TE an OTs available so hopefully we can snag them.

15 tds last year. We had 13 passing TDs.

What was the offer? I haven't seen that anywhere just curious. I'm probably good with whatever it is short of pick 9.

How do all the homers feel about Beane now that he was about to trade for Brown who they consider a cancer? I'm seeing a lot of cognitive dissonance where people are bashing Brown but ignoring the fact that Beane traded for him only to have Brown nix the deal.

Believe what? Why is it so unbelievable that they would give a new contract to a guy they just traded for? Same thing happened with LeSean McCoy

Could be, or he turned that down too. We probably will never know.

Feel better about Beane that he at least tried

Poyer squashed it

Where did I say I'm worried? edit: oops read wrong reply

Phew, that was close, we almost had the best receiver in the league. I would have hated to be able to evalutate our young QB without excuses. Wouldn;t want a "headcase" like Brown ruining Zay Jones' fragile mental state.

No mention of Buffalo on sportscenter segment on Brown just now.

While we are throwing opinions out as fact Metcalf will be one of the top 5 receivers in the league within 3 years if not sooner. Even if his cone numbers mean he literally can only run one direction I’m ok with that. (But I think that’s oberblown) How often did Calvin Johnson or Randy moss just run straight knowing their speed and size were enough bc there just isn’t anyone on the defense with the combo to match? And Im not buying a Stephen Hill or Heyward Bey comparison retort because D.K. was considered a top WR prospect since before this season maybe longer for reasons other than elite athleticism. Those guys only flew up draft boards last minute due to workouts.

Last year in the lead up to the draft i heard him twice say that Andrew Luck has never made the playoffs. Both times he was trying to make a point about how getting a great QB prospect like luck doesn't guarantee success. He used the state of the Colts as an example and topped it off with "Andrew luck has never made the playoffs!" He did this on two separate occasions about a month apart.

I’m not going to expect anything. Not after that Thursday night blow out loss to the Jets two years ago.

You said yourself WR is more expensive free agent position so where’s the value in signing two? And who is even worth it this year? There are no #1 WRs in the market. Tyrell Williams maybe. I’d rather sign a vet C(Paradis or Morse) and RT Daryl Williams then go after skill positions in the draft.

...and then again to start 2018. and then had him as the only backup against the Texans.

Roquan smith went 21 to he bengals

Woah pointing out another huge mistake. Really got him.

Dee ford disagrees

What about the part where the Buffalo Bills traded the away the chance to draft him when they needed a QB and went with Nathan Peterman in the 5th instead?

I think you're misunderstanding my point.

No one AT ALL? I specifically remember asking a few posters if they wanted to change their prediction after the Ravens game in the preseason predictions thread. I never said it was the general board perception but there were plenty of people. Im replying to one poster who is reminding me of the same rationalizations I saw before last season.

They may have some tools but a free agent signing can easily and quickly turn into a negative asset if you overpay and/or sign the wrong player. Colts and Jets are more desireable destinations with more cap space. Draft picks are a crap shoot especially after the 3rd round. This is all beofre you think about their past signings and how effective they’ve been. Especially on the offensive side of the ball. This is the same group that started peterman in a playoff hunt, started him to begin last season, didn’t cut peterman and had to have him come back in weeks later, signed Tolbert, and gave up one of those precious draft picks for Kelvin Benjamin. Yes I did.
