    I kinda hope they keep only 5 WR's. Other than Brown, Beasley and Jones, our WR's are all backup caliber players and can easily be replaced. I'd like us to keep an extra RB instead.

    4 RBs is enough, 5 WR is one to few in a pass first offense, we will be passing more than running most of the time, gotta take advantage of a QB who can push the ball up the field. Injury wise it easier to pick up a serviceable RB, than a serviceable WR during the season.

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Why? 

    Because they are better at it than you, me, and the rest of us on this forum, there are a lot of “I know better” types on every sports team forum, they do add minor entertainment, down side is they live in the negative Nancy land where nothing is good enough, ever. Just sayin.

    The scouting reports say that he would be better at G than OT at this level. Not sure why some are showering him with praise when he's only played against backups.

    I suspect people are merely making reference to his heads up play,  though some here seem to find a negative connotation with that, life’s a  dreary existence for some I guess...

    I don't know what his responsibilities are each play, but what I see is a player that is tough to move but lacks the hands to disengage from blocks. 

     

     

    And you continue to say this,   Why do you expect him to be a polished vet before he plays his first game as a pro?

     

    Go Bills!!!

    They are definitely saving Oliver stunts for the season, his quickness will pay off there but I don't like his hands so far. He let's OL get a hold of him and he can't get off. 

    You have been given examples of his getting off blocks yet keep saying that he can’t get of a block. Here’s another example, the very first preseason game he was double teamed, got off the double and was in on the tackle, against an all pro at that. Not so much to be worried about, he’s doing fine for a rookie who has yet to play his first game.

    I was talking in general.  Does race get brought up too much?  Absolutely.  Kelly is getting his 43 chance because of his uncle, not his race.  So I agree there.

     

    but there is something disingenuous about a white person talking about race card and stuff.  You (in general) aren’t a minority, you have no idea how it feels to be in their shoes.  Growing up as a black kid in Southside Chicago is a different world than being a white kid from Amherst.  

    I get that but it sucks that a lot of guys don’t even get a 2nd chance at the nfl.   Also, how does a normal person get treated when they threaten to shoot up a bar with an AK 47?  

    This ^^^

     

    All good points, “disingenuous” is a very kind way of putting it. Well stated imo. But his race isn’t hurting either, there is a lot of white privilege in our country that white citizens don’t recognize. As you mentioned in the AK 47 statement. Justice is certainly not evenly distributed. Again well stated.

    Mentioned this in a couple threads, but it deserves its own. They had him at LT last night with the 2s and 3s, and he looked very good in pass pro. I think he is the 9th OL on the 53. Did a great job at C last week on the fly. 

     

    Good trade by Beane as Harold wasn’t going  to make it. 

    Yup, when Barks fumbled it was Bates who recovered the ball. He is a good get by BB.

  8. From the little I have seen or read of Chad Kelly, I do not believe he has what it takes to be a QB1 in the league. He continues to do stupid things at every stop on his adventures in football.  The guy is a bit of a moron by all accounts. I of course could be wrong, but I don’t think so. The OP is correct though in that this is his only chance, and then only if the football gods are actually smiling upon him.

    Mixed reactions.  I think they're restrictive during the game.  I think game day discussions probably need to be free for all mess.  

     

    Bur I like rhem AFTER the game.  It makes sense for a day or two after the game to have the ads for o, d, qb, coach officiating.  There also should be a thread for general reactions to the game.  

     

    That doesn't mean that mods have to shut down other threads that people start.  Some limitations are necessary, but more threads is better than less.  More threads generate more discussion.

    I agree.  Having these general topic threads was useful, but they shouldn't be the exclusive threads on any topic.

     This ^^^^

  10. I think luck has made a good decision, his health is more important than football, any thinking individual would come to the same conclusion.

     

    It’s funny that many football fans appear to be more upset for themselves than Luck. In retrospect this is a good thing for any team that plays the  Colts. Better odds for a win.

     

     Do remember this is the way of the football life, when opposing players purposefully try to hit you as hard as they can get away with (purposely causing injury)  there will be an attrition rate, and luck is part of that, just like Eric Wood, and very many other players.  This is a case of potential greatness gone unfulfilled.

    You can't see it half the league hasn't even played the starters yet. Coaches saying they would rather have joint practices.

     

    You are sitting here trying to make a joke to me yet it's the league saying preseason is meaningless. Your little comment backfired.

    Not so, this red herring argument of usefulness is not but Employee/management compensation negotiation, having not to do with usefulness, to think otherwise is just silly. I believe you realize this.

     

    Go Bills!!!
