I wouldn’t care if he came back except that he just had a big time injury. It takes forever to come back from that fully and he wasn’t being used all that much when he was fully healthy and Brady employed the everyone eats offense. Seems like a waste of time really. The amount of balls he’d get wouldn’t justify the potential drama and amount of money he’d want. If he came in groveling and said he’ll be a worker bee and didn’t want all that much money, I’d take him back.

I’m guessing teams are trying to get a 1 year deal to see how the shoulders hold up, and he’s trying to get a longer contract with a sizable chunk in guarantees. Makes sense for him, makes sense for the teams. Tough spot for him to be sure. In the end if he’s not offered a 2 or 3 year deal he’ll have to sign the one year and depending on how much he knows that might be his last one. But now I get why it’s taking so long.

Injuries, yes. Otherwise, no.

I’m actually happy that the offense didn’t get more yards. I’m not convinced it would’ve been easier for Bass. He missed a PAT so being closer wouldn’t have made a difference, imo. In fact, I think being as far out as it was made it almost a little less stressful on him as no-one would’ve blamed him for missing that one.

But what’s his # going to be?! If he wants 2, we should just drop Bass.

We had Reed though. I love Shakir but he’s not 83. I expect Cooper will eventually become the #1 in the eyes of the opposing defenses.

I agree with most of what you said but weren’t two of his first moves signing Poyer and Hyde. Or do I have that wrong? If he did, they make the list.

Wouldn’t matter for what? Not sure I’m following. Are you saying the Vikings will be better than the Bills this year?

That’s the exact reason I stayed away from the whole breeding humans situation.

That’s fair. But at the same time so is my question. Regardless of apples to oranges, I’m giving you that choice right now. Who are you choosing? I know who I’m choosing. And guess what? My favorite player on this earth (Josh Allen) is not it. It’s nothing against Josh, I think he’s great, the most entertaining player I think I’ve seen in my lifetime. Mahomes, imo, is better at staying cool. Is that really that bad? I mean, the guys great, what is so wrong with him being better at something?

Okay… but ask yourself this question, and be 100% honest with yourself. You have 30 seconds to go down a field and win the Super Bowl. You have a choice of Allen or Mahomes? Are you picking Allen? My original post is not an indictment on Allen. Allen has Mahomes beat in almost all the categories for me (physically). I just think Mahomes has the ability to stay cool in any situation. He’s proven it time and time again. You’re not turning on Allen or your Bills fandom by acknowledging the dudes really good at keeping cool.

I don’t know. Obviously Mahomes is great but I can’t say he’s better than Allen. There’s things Allen can do physically that Mahomes can’t. There’s nothing Mahomes can do that Allen can’t. Then again Mahomes stays cool under all circumstances, maybe that’s what he does better. Allen’s got the physical, Mahomes has the mental.

“Dumb for him to hold out” because Miami doesn’t want to give him a big contract? That’s the entire reason why he or anybody holds out. I’ll break it down… players want as much money as they can get, teams want to give that player as little as possible. Player holds out because the team needs him now, team is then forced to give player more than they’d like because they need him to play. Is the player as good as the contract will imply. Not typically, but for the team it’s either pay him, or find a new qb when your team is built to win now. Just so I’m not accused of plagiarism, I got this from nfl hold outs for dummies.

Yea, they’re talking because they’re given the podium when they’re drafted. Once games start it’s all about Josh and Diggs. I think you’re also taking away from Keon here. None of the players you mentioned have his personality. They were pretty bland to be honest. You’d better believe people will still want to talk to Keon even if he doesn’t have the prolific start we’re hoping for.

Thanks for the heads up, Tipster!
