Who really here is plugged into the draft?
LSHMEAB replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
DC Orange is probably the most knowledgeable poster for those that ascribe to the theory of data/analytics. -
I think there's a correlation between sacks/RZ defense. I remember far too many TD's in the back of the EZ where the QB had all day to throw. That's why I want an edge rusher. Theoretically, you could kick Edmunds outside and sign a middle linebacker, who are a dime a dozen. Kill two birds with one stone by improving the pass rush as well as the run defense.

My hope is that this will ultimately be the difference between Allen and his boom/bust predecessors. Anecdotally, it would seem guys with such natural talent are unwilling to put in the work required to improve because they'd always gotten by on talent alone. Perhaps Allen's history of being overlooked by the likes of Fresno State separates him from the Jake Locker's who were handed everything before entering the NFL. It's really an oddity that someone so obviously gifted had to go the Juco/Wyoming route.

Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
LSHMEAB replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It's gonna be Beto and it's not gonna be particularly close. The betting market knows all. Warren's time has come and gone. -
I get it. For me personally, there's no downside in having a strong negative opinion on Allen. If I'm wrong, that's good for the Bills, and ultimately more important than any opinion I spout on a message board. As a betting man, I'm perfectly used to being wrong. It happens all the time. I just want to be right 53 percent of the time.

Many, many quarterbacks have come into this league with big time skills and pedestrian college numbers. There hasn't been a successful NFL QB since Brett Favre(30 YEARS AGO when passing numbers were much different) with a 56% collegiate completion percentage who panned out. Do you follow these trends or just take the wait and see approach? That is the origin of the skepticism. The new school data driven folks hated him as a prospect(many still do), but most have moved toward the middle based on the big time plays he's able to make that less talented guys simply cannot. His strengths are greater than anyone anticipated. It wasn't merely the first 6 games; he's your typical boom or bust QB and most of them are bust. These are just facts. So I can't understand how YOU can't understand what it is that made Josh Allen such a polarizing player. As I've stated, I'm much more open to the idea that the data driven folks missed the boat on Josh Allen than I was before the season.

Yep. Thought he was a trash prospect and still did before the injury. Now I think he has a legitimate chance to be the guy. He's got an entire offseason to work on mechanics, footwork that will theoretically lead to slightly improved accuracy. Don't believe he'll ever be a pinpoint passer, but he does so many other things well that doesn't have to be. In order to be a top tier QB, he does, however, need to improve touch and recognition.

2019 NFL Draft: Bills officially picking 9th
LSHMEAB replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Technically third considering Bosa and Allen will be gone, but it would be Ferrell. I can tell you who I DON'T like and that's Rashan Gary. I'm a Michigan fan so I've watched him all season. Just not particularly explosive and I don't see him as an impact player at the next level. Haven't watched many FSU games so I don't have any thoughts good or bad on Burns. -

Not a chance he'll be available unfortunately. That was my guy. -

LSHMEAB replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Looks to me like a technician who'll hold up pretty well in pass pro. I don't think he's gonna be a particularly good run blocker and I'd rather take someone like Little who has the ability to smash DE's into submission. That's what I loved about having an LT like Cordy Glenn. -
2019 NFL Draft: Bills officially picking 9th
LSHMEAB replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe. The mocks are all over the place regarding the WR's and it seems like there's gonna be quite a few available in rounds 2-4. I'd rather take Little at 9 if he's available. Not a big Jonah Williams fan. Don't see Greedy Williams lasting that long and it was purely hypothetical. -

LSHMEAB replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed. I doubt Greedy lasts until 9 anways, so there's that. If he did, I'd just hope somebody in the teens would be all over it and we'd swing a deal. -

What's with all the p***ing matches started by Johnny Come Lately posters? -

LSHMEAB replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A Superbowl the Bills are involved in? I think there's an easy answer to that question. -
Our coach...say what you want but he's a class act.
LSHMEAB replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bad loss meaning typical Bills choke loss. The blowouts are a major concern. You seem to have me confused with someone who buys into the process crap. I'm simply pointing out ONE positive aspect of McDermott's 2 years in Buffalo. -
Keith Trowbridge Post Makes Very Little Sense
LSHMEAB replied to BillyWhiteShows's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is Trowbridge related to McKittrick? I think he's trying to say he's gonna seal the Bills fate with 2 catches for 3 yards. -

LSHMEAB replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Would not personally be a fan of a CB in the top 10. McDermott seems to find guys that can play corner off the scrapheap and we've already got one good/borderline elite player at the position. Also, the best way to stop the top quarterbacks is by getting in their face on a consistent basis. Much rather identify a disruptive defensive lineman. -

LSHMEAB replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's hard for me to understand how people watched this defense all season and don't recognize DL as an area of need. I'm not really concerned with corner and we can find an adequate MLB in FA'cy. They're always available. They can allocate all other resources to offense, but they damn well better find a difference maker at DL or the defense will have the same issues it had in 2018. Yes, they had some issues. -
7 out of 10 losses against Playoff bound opponents.
LSHMEAB replied to ImpactCorey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Then they should have no problem making the playoffs next season. That's good news!
