I hear the BBMB is taking a "let's not discuss the team" approach to message boarding........perhaps you should sign up over there.
And btw, speak when you are spoken to, broo. It looks idiotic and weak to refuse to support your position......as you chose........ but go then jump in to complain further later in the thread. Go away. Never hearda ya'.
hahah ok dokie there big boy. Let me bow down to the all mighty Badolbillz..... gtfo here....
I already commented how your arguments are invalid due to different variables. Just because you continue to ride high on your horse and beat it to death doesn't mean it garners any respect.
You are basing your argument on last years numbers. Which is very idiotic (using your word) since according to that logic, Josh Allen would never improve because of last year or the year before or the year before that. Or there is no chance of Gabe Davis improving, or Knox, or anyone for that matter because of...... wait for it.... Last years numbers.
Which means ABSOLUTLEY nothing going into this year.
As I said, let the season play out. But whom am I to give any advice to the almighty BBMB poster.

I'd settle for a 3rd.
The reality is that the Bills outside WR options are:
1200 yard Diggs
550 yard Davis
28 yard Kumerow
578 yards is one of the lowest returning production 2+3 option combo's in the league.
The Bills have a very distinct set of outside and slot receivers........on an increasing amount of teams there is a 3rd or 4th option who has the size and speed traits to succeed outside but also with the quickness to have potential in the slot.
This is what the Bills clearly lack.
When you weigh that with the reality that Davis has not yet proven he can get it done for 17 games without someone picking up half the slack or more.........this is why the Bills don't have an elite WR corps any longer.
They are, on paper, clearly lesser than they were at this point last season. By about 700 yards of production on the outside.
broo........... give it a rest ffs
It is exhausting lol
Let the season play out.

Ok.......well Crowder has also missed 4 games per season on average due to injuries in those last 4 years. He's not been durable. Beasley, on the other hand, has missed just 2 games to injury and (like Gabe Davis) he missed one simply because he wasn't vaxed so he wasn't eligible to play(get your facts straight on that).
It's a lot like the Rodger Saffold situation.........they traded availability risk to save money.........which they then mostly invested in giving 4 DL starting caliber contracts(Miller, Jones, Settle, Phillips).
If you think Sanders was meh...........ok.........but his "meh" regular season was more receiving yardage than any other receiver currently on the roster had in 2021 other than Diggs. That's the point. They did not replace production. Sanders actually produced more than Davis in the regular season. Davis battled a foot injury in the first half so it turned out to be very fortuitous that they had that kind of production available. Jake Kumerow isn't that kind of option......you are just being willfully ignorant if you can't acknowledge that.
I'm not missing the Kromer variable at all. Big Kromer fan. Hoping for the best. But the flip side is that there has been a lot of turnover in the offensive coaching staff in general. New OL coach, new QB coach, new OC. I hope for the best but anyone who doesn't think they were better positioned to repeat their success with the continuity of the staff that lead their dynamic 2020 offense is living in denial. There is an uncertainty there that didn't exist going into 2021. I'm not a fan in general of giving a new staff a lesser investment in offense. Which is most certainly the direction they've gone.
ok good talk.
Lets just see what happens instead of the sky is falling mentality.

Beasley has been more productive than Crowder in 3 of the last 4 seasons..........in the NFL it's about what you've done lately. Crowder got a cheap deal because he's declined the last 2 seasons.
They didn't replace Sanders..........Davis was already there..........the question is can Davis stay healthy for a season, he has been limited for stretches by foot injuries his first two seasons.........and he also is an anti-vaxer and missed the Bills biggest regular season game last season due to Covid.........Covid will still sideline players this season.
Last season at this time Daryl Williams was coming off a tremendous season where he was a top 5 starting RT in the NFL. He shut down TJ Watt in their matchup in 2020. Feliciano was seen as a solid starter/tone setter and Boettger had been good as a reserve in 2020. Bates was their cherished backup at center. Ford hadn't totally fallen off of a cliff like he did in 2021. On paper they looked pretty good, it's not a notably better OL in that regard than the one that ended up as the league worst in combined sacks and pressures allowed in 2021. They could end up being a lot better but signing a swing tackle who gave up the most sacks in the league(Quessenberry, 11) didn't really change that dynamic much.
Beasley argument is missing one significant and important variable. Josh Allen. You can't compare production when all the other variables are significantly different. Especially the QB. Different Teams, Different QBs, Different Coaches, Different System.
Sanders was meh last year, replacing him with younger talent in the draft is where they went. The covid thing is a reach and that can happen to any person on the team, regardless if vaxxed or not.
Also, you are missing another variable in your O-line argument, Kromer. Who is known to be a top O-Line coach in the league compared to last years O-line coach.
I dont man, you just seem to throw stuff out their to try and validate your argument but keep omitting variables that actually have a larger impact on said stuff.

Well, I get this. But was Bojo a subpar athlete? Not committed enough?
I'm a decent athlete, but I'm not so sure I could learn to do it at an NFL level.
All I'm really saying is that it isn't a given.
I agree, it definitely is not given.
But I do believe Bojo wasn't committed, hence why he has been released by several teams.
As a Punter, you have two responsibilities, 1 Punt really well and punt differently when needed. 2 Hold for FG's. I honestly see no reason why a punter cannot learn to hold if they put in the time and effort. It isn't something that is physically difficult other than decent hands and understanding rotations.
Maybe hand and eye coordination is something Bojo lacks. I don't know to be honest.
Oh and I am sure you can hold at an NFL level if that was your only job to do. Don't sell yourself short @Shaw66

I just have to say that several people here are saying that it will be easy for Araiza to learn to hold. Why will it be easy for him while it was so hard for Bojo? He's never learned it.
I wouldn't say "easy". Plenty of work will need to be done. But I'm sure plenty of people said Josh Allen couldn't learn to be accurate and I would say he has done well with the accuracy issue because of putting in the time and work. The reason I am not concerned is I do believe that Ariza will work and put in the time. Just like those videos show him working on hangtime and hitting 5.5 seconds hangtime on 50 yd punts. I get game days are different but still, there is promise.
I mentioned McAfee because he brought up Ariza and his lack of holding and he kind of had the same situation coming out of West VA. But believes since Ariza is athletic that he will pick it up without issue.

Pat McAfee mentioned in his podcast that when he was drafted by the colts. He lied and said he could hold but at West VA, he did the same as Ariza in terms of kicking and punting and never held.
He said he had to learn it but if you are athletic enough it is rather easy to adjust and learn.
I have little concern about the holding, he will work on it all off season to come in and be able to do it from a general standpoint.
Then, working with Bass, they will work to get on the same page about tilt, direction, etc.-

The thing is, our draft was really only for depth and 1 need (well 2 if you count the punter)
and we got both high quality players for the punter (if he can hold) and the CB as well. Both immediate players.
All the rest is depth..
It feels so good to draft for depth and development instead of need all the way.
Last years draft, with time, I have a feeling will turn out to be above average players or even great players.
No longer are we needing players to come in and play immediately or expect them to be amazing out of the gate. We can give them time and trust our coaches and staff.

I don’t have a problem with the player. I have a problem with where they picked him. Day 2 guys should be impact starters at a confirmed position or close to it unless the guy has ridiculous upside but needs a year to get adjusted (e.g. small school guy).
Day 2 draft picks should only be starting if the team has needs.
The bills do not have needs after the CB on Day 1 so Day 2 and on is all just for depth. No starters except a punter if they take one.

its weird that the Jets are acting like their offensive and defensive line are good.... Only 1 draft pick for the trenches with such high picks.
their OLine got Zach Wilson killed last year.
Don't see it changing next year.

I’m talking about Singletary. He is 4.66 and is a snail. People say he is coming on, but he’s reached his maximum potential. He’s limited on what he can do on the field.
Ah ok that makes more sense lol
and agreed, singletary is a good back for subbing in for a primary back.

He is to slow. He will never have teams being afraid of him. He will never be able to consistently get outside. Or catch and take swing passes to the house. We need a true weapon.
4.39 is slow?
Since when?

It was obvious cowboys weren't taking a corner. Also, look at the players that fell, Lloyd and Johnson. We panicked, plain and simple. Happy with Elam, trade up was not necessary.
How do you know this? You, and anyone else outside of Dallas, have zero idea if they would have taken Elam.

ok i’m wrong and I do like him more. The tape I saw said 4.47 and 4.54.
He is fast, quick, and long.
His biggest downfall was/is tackling, but hell so was Dion Sanders issue was tackling.
We needed speed in the DB room, and we got it.

Elam is the pick to try and counter Hill being on the dolphins and any other speed receiver because lets be frank, speed (especially hill) has killed this team in very important games.

Schoen goes OL and DL with his first two picks as GM. Hard to argue with that, nice picks for the Giants.
They are "safe" picks though.. great picks yes!! but they are safe.
All GM's are measured by who they draft for a QB or who they bring in for QB.
Bean and McDermott took a high risk in drafting Allen and it is certainly paying off.
Not every coach/GM is that... lucky I should say..

Bills OTAs
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by CaliBills
Agree, I am excited to see Cook,Crowder, and Shakir in this offense. Beas and Sanders were aging WR's, both remain not signed by any NFL team (to my current knowledge), which shows that age has had an impact on them.
As for people like the aforementioned, Pretending to be the smartest person in the room and actually being that person are completely different. And usually people pretending are not well liked in their environments lol.
And also - he was added on my ignored list.. easy way to rid myself
