    He’s had a lot of solid seasons. Always been a fan. Admittedly was my draft crush the year he came out. Physical freak, and former Hs wrestling champion so hard working, gets leverage etc... just checks so many boxes.

     

      Definitely an impressive athlete. Had a great year last year with the boys. I wonder if he will cost a fortune as a result though, and then cruise once he's paid. I'd be amazed if Beane got Quinn on the cheap, versus what he's projected.

    San Francisco is the blueprint, not the Rams.

     

     That's not a blue print that's a perfect storm of high first round picks across the DLine. Where the niners win on scheme is offense.

      I get wanting it, but you have to be an abysmal team for several years to construct a team like that. Let's see if they can sustain over time before we give the niners too much credit.

    I would say in some ways, Star represents my one gripe with McDermott's defense; I would rather not have 1 out of 11 defenders not even asked to make plays. I'd prefer a more aggressive defensive line. A stud pass rusher would go a long ways to solving the issues the defense had last season in terms of sacks/TO's, so we'll see what happens.

     

      I suppose it's ok to want more, but I think what McDermott and  Frazier have achieved is far more impressive.

        For me what you're describing is the LA Rams. Dante Fowler, Clay Matthews, and of course the very special Aaron Donald. Cory Littleton, Jalen Ramsey. Great players coached by Wade Phillips. They ranked 17th.

      Would you swap personnel with LA? Would you swap statistics with that team in order to live out your more attacking scheme? I'm certain LA would swap the outcomes.

    A lot of NFL players talk smack and get in people's faces but don't get benched and made inactive because of that. 

     

      Did he get benched and made inactive because of his on-field attitude then? Because I don't think that's true. 

      This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. Have people put him in the Odell Beckham bucket as a troublemaker and if so on what basis?

     He was statistically one of the worst CBs in the league and had his attitude and effort questioned.

     I understand it was a bad situation, but the player didn't help his case.

     

      Genuinely curious. What does this statement mean? What do you have against Norman?

     

      A lot of people don't like him because he talks smack and gets in people's face. Is this your issue with him? Do you see him as a bad influence? Because I can't think what else you could mean.

    My Prediction is he excels in his role is this zone scheme. He's still elite athletically and McDermott won't deal with any clown garbage from him.

     

     He's in great shape, just last year he ran with the bulls in Pamplona. However he is slow. He was ALWAYS slow, his strength shows when he is close to the line of scrimmage.

    See this would make sense if his former HC in Ron Rivera wasn't the HC in Washington now.

     

     

     

     So you think Rivera should have kept him at 13 mill per year? Ron Rivera is a fool and wasn't the reason the Superbowl Panthers had a strong D. That man is currently the HC of the Bills.

  8. Some fans just can't be excited unless their team sign the most expensive contract for a player at that position in FA.

     

    Norman is slow (this is a fair truth), and was continually left on an island against fast WRs. If you put him in a position to attack in zone he will make plays on the ball and get interceptions. Hes great at defending the run and watch for his ability to 'peanut Tilman' punch the ball out of receivers hands. He will work in McDs system.

     

     What you don't want is him covering defenders deep without help. That was true even in 2015.

    Clemson is the closest school for the Panthers. I guess "local" was slightly exaggerated 

     

     It's not the Charlotte Panthers. The motto here is two states one team. Clemson is in South Carolina, a half hour drive from Spartanburg where the Panthers hold their annual training camp. If you want to measure distance to the city where they play well Clemson is marginally closer to Atlanta than Charlotte so I will give you that.

  10. Turner has been average at best the last few years, since he got paid. He put on weight and seemed to lose his desire. At that salary and cap hit he's not worth it for the Bills. He could go to the Jets who need veterans to go with their soon to be drafted OL. Makes sense there.

     

     CMC is actually a candidate for a shock trade. The reason is this; the Panthers are in the middle of a purge. They aren't in win now mode and CMC is about to be the highest paid RB on the market.  It makes no sense to do that at a time when the team will be rebuilding. Now if they get a huge pile of trade assets for him that actually makes a ton of sense. He isn't just an RB either as Yolo said. He's an outstanding route runner.

    No, it just means they're trying to convince him that he can be happy in Jacksonville on a long-term deal and that they won't be bad for long.

     

     That's a very narrow view though. This guy has far exceeded expectations for a third round pick, and the franchise won't reward him with a long term deal. He wants to continue his career in a place where he's valued with a long term deal. Any franchise could say we will get better. I mean what else are they supposed to say? Jax have Josh Allen and Calais Campbell too. They are holding him hostage. No bueno.

    Williams was not good this year at all, I sincerely hope he is not a Bills target. 

    Peat is versatile but his play was also terrible this past season. The Bills need dependable talent and they have the money to get it. If Conklin is too much or just not an option, Bulaga was excellent this past year and at 30 should have a couple of good seasons left. He will definitely cost less than Conklin but is just as good of a player if not better. Draft another tackle and bring in Bulaga if possible. I am hoping Ford moves to guard as that is his natural position imo.

     

     It's true that Peat had a down year, but the prior 2 seasons he was a pro-bowler, a former first rounder picked 13th overall. The point is he is 26 versus Bulaga 31. Peat isn't in the conversation for most fans but may provide great value like Spain did this year, those are the guys the Bills need to look at.

     

     Recency bias can be one of the most misleading factors in free agency. 

     

     I get that fans become excited about the idea of acquiring blue Chip players in free agency, but where I hope Beane wins again is that second tier of great value and fit FA.
