It’s fake

PR team is generally informed as things are being wrapped up. They need some time to prep. There are typically alerts sent out to specifics staff members and departments in advance of things being announced publicly. Not saying that’s what is going on here, but they probably know sooner than most beat reporters.

I didn’t do it to be snarky. You don’t know my intentions, my intentions were EXACTLY what I laid out. YOU come on here to be snarky, you’ve said it so yourself. Don’t throw stones when you live in a glass house. Never claimed to be good, said I did it, and that my world is slightly different than football. I asked so we could find some common ground and have discussion - not do whatever the ***** you do on here (which you’ve recently admitted is be an ####### for entertainment with some legitimately good Bills discussion mixed in).

It wasn’t a snarky comment at all, it was me genuinely asking you to walk me through your definition of BPA and then your process for putting together a draft board. You’re using certain terms here and I’m trying to find some common ground so we can have an actual discussion about the topic at hand. I do the whole BPA thing and putting together draft boards for a living, but my world is slightly different than the football world (although it retains plenty of similarities). I’ve found that it’s easier to figure out HOW we’re using certain terms before debating the terms and then the process itself. Hopefully that clears things up… I apologize if the original comment came off snarky.

Ryan, can you explain to me your definition of BPA as well as your process for putting together a draft board?

Uhhh this isn’t great. Shenault was the #2 targeted player in Jacksonville. They were bad and he benefited from that. He was targeted 100 times last year and put up 63/619/0 and 11/41 rushing. That’s 8.9 yards per touch and no TD in 74 touches. McKenzie was the #8 targeted player in Buffalo. We had a lot of options and he was a complimentary piece. He was targeted 26 times last year and put up 20/178/1 and 9/47/1 rushing. That’s 7.8 yards per touch and 2 TDs on 29 touches. Exactly how is Shenault more productive other than sheer volume on a bad team? Shenault is also a 4.6 runner and McKenzie is a 4.4 runner.

Interesting. Brady, Kromer and Shula all have play calling experience in the NFL. Hopefully it helps Dorsey navigate his first season play calling/our offense add new wrinkles.

I love how you avoided my question… explain to the board which organizations have done it better since 2017… take everything into account. The draft, free agency, player development, winning games and anything else you want to add… It did affect every team, but if you can’t compute the fact that the Bills had planned their signings around the idea that they could be competitive now with the ability to spend in the future and then that was taken away from them by the fact that the cap didn’t increase, that’s on you. If you’re failing to recognize that this front office plans things out in advance and has a legitimate plan, then I’m also sorry. If you wanna talk about milk and cookies, you live in Candyland where every player on the team has to be a Pro Bowler and every free agent signing has to be below market value for things to please you. They’ve objectively built a top 5 roster in the sport and you’re asserting they’re mediocre.

The cap situation was caused by a worldwide pandemic. You lost credibility when you cited Badol… Let’s play my favorite game of “what front offices and coaching staffs are better than the Bills?” It’s always a doozy with people who have a mediocre grasp of how all this works…

Cue the guy who just found out this guy existed to start complaining like the whiny little B word he is…

Unfortunately it’s not what you like… it’s what the market dictates…

Really nice post… Unfortunately, you are forgetting that people on this board believe Brandon Beane is a failure for not having the foresight to predict a worldwide pandemic that would prevent the salary cap from increasing. Those people believe they are reasonable and unbiased. They’re just speaking in facts! ☺️

$4.4M total is a steal…

Can we change the title? It’s wrong. He’s signed for $8M total. $4M/year

Did you really just type this out and think it was ok to hit send?

Right…

That’s not what they said, Hap. It’s more like this: “Beane sucks and can’t draft or sign free agents.” “McDermott sucks and is too conservative. He will never win a Super Bowl.” ”This team sucks and will never win anything. Every single position needs to be upgraded outside of QB. Although Josh isn’t Mahomes, Burrow or Herbert.”

Correct… that’s why people keep bringing him up as a viable backup option 😂 You’re not even good at trolling anymore.

Correct. Usually when the maximum value gets reported, it’s the agent getting the news out there ahead of time. Makes them look good.

Good defensive depth and great ST player. Homegrown guy… at least Beane and McDermott stick to their word with their philosophies.

This is your quote: “Diggs is in a mix of WR in the 5-10 range, depending on the game. He is paid right in that range.” You referenced him being in the 5-10 range for WR and being paid in that same range… without any other context. He was 21st in cap hit, 11th in cash and 20th in AAV in 2021. He’s 17th in AAV and 12th in cash for 2022. The only place he is in the 5-10 range for WR is his cap hit for 2022… where he is 9th. Any logical person would have reached the conclusion you were referring to cap hit.

I also said that nobody cares about cap hit… but your reference of him being paid in the 5-10 range is his cap hit. You brought cap hit up. Where are you getting $15.1M from? I specifically said AAV is what people use to discuss player value. This isn’t an argument… that’s how it works. AAV. He’s 17th. EDIT: NVM I see the $15.1M. No need for clarification there.

Explain how he’s not a top 5 receiver since arriving in Buffalo… He’s also not paid in the 5-10 range. His cap hit is 9th for WR but his AAV is 17th. AAV is more important when it comes to valuing the player.

This has been a gem. McDermott is scaring coaches away (per a previous thread) and now players too. Tre White, Dion Dawkins, Matt Milano, Taron Johnson and Josh Allen were absolutely petrified to sign their extensions here.
