That’s about it. Basically saying, here’s an incredibly gifted guy, who you can have for a 7th rounder OR you can compete to sign him, hopefully we get something.. anything..

I’d try to sign him to the PS. At very least his speed would give you a comp for routes in practice.

Remember when people were worried bc they signed Julio ( w Brown there)? Yeah. This is less of a worry.

And there it is, he took the bag. Winning didn’t really matter.

I’m just sick of their fan base. I have found there is a distinct pattern to their claims. Once the first is argued, they move to the next. 1) Lamar is better than Allen bc Allen has Diggs and Lamar has no weapons. 2) It’s Roman’s fault. 3) MVP. 3) Race card.

Where’s the Raven fans to tell us Lamar does more with less?

My exact fear. Hopefully, it’s not a repeat.

Pitts is too low, but whatever. This sounds about right for Knox.

I think you are right, that said if he didn’t have the name, I’m not sure he has more than a Sam Bradford career. There were far more reasons to bench him than consider him a HOF QB, but here we are.

Not saying he was bad, but he was never dominant, even for a season, they won nothing and he quit after 6 years. There is no place for that in the HOF. Look, if Maholmes quit tomorrow, I’d still say he deserves a look. His numbers are insane, he’s got titles etc. Luck has nothing.

If he gets in, the HOF is officially a joke.

Shorter was a late round pick for a reason. The guy was a higher rated prospect than Jamar Chase out of high-school, he sucked in college. He transferred because he blamed the coaches, needed to “be used properly” and still was a nobody at Florida. The chances of a guy like that magically realizing he has to work at the craft and becoming something are next to nothing. He’s a physical specimen, but we’ve seen plenty of them end up out of the league in a big hurry. I expect the same for him. I also hope he reads this and decides to prove some random fan wrong and becomes MegaTron, I figure that’s as likely as me hitting the lotto I don’t play.

I disagree with everything outside of not loving the Cook pick. Murray has been very good for a long time and does not have a ton of miles on him, if I had to take one back to get the touches, I’ll take the guy who can run like a real back. Ekeler is about as much finesse as CMC, he’s “small”, but the guy has tree trunks and powers through a lot of contact. There’s a reason he lead the league in TDs most of the year. It’s not because the Chargers have a substantially better OC than the Bills. He’s a lot closer to Marshall Faulk than Jerome Bettis, so I get what you are saying, but he’s really the definition of an every down back.

They are and they have enough power to lower a shoulder and score as well, something Cook has never shown. They also have exceptional contact balance, another thing he lacks. Cook is a finesse player, those guys are complete players, though CMC and Ekeler are on a different planet than Jones.

That’s my point exactly, there is no lead back on this team IF Harris gets hurt. If he does, there’s nobody to pick up the power game, but Allen. This goes back to my dislike of the pick of Cook as he’s not REALLY a starter and you shouldn’t be using 2nd round picks on guys who are so limited. That said, we have him, and a very similar player in Hynes. Then you have Harris, who is talented, but has not stayed healthy and Murray who is better than people want to give him credit for, but is not the guy you WANT starting. That said, the only lead backs on this team are Harris and Murray, the other two are simply not guys who are built for, nor run with the style of a #1 back.

I think you forget, there is no primary back on this team if Harris goes down and he has a history of it. Murray, though not spectacular, becomes the #1 guy if Harris isn’t playing. He’s almost a lock to make the team. Cook is not going to be the lead back, he’s a 3rd down/receiving back. They need somebody to hammer the ball in at the goal line, besides Josh and it’s arguable the best player on the team for that is Murray. Hynes is the bubble guy, he has to hold on to his return job to make the game day roster.

Please, nobody actually cares about a back up safety’s job. He has his platform, he’s doing great work in the world, if the Bills cut him, such is life. He’s not a great player, he’s not really even good. Had the incident not happened, people would be clamoring for Rapp over him all day.

If he’s not going to get paid, he won’t sign anywhere until near the end of camp. He’s not going to go out in all that time and risk if he’s not making a big check. Just the business end of it all.

Seriously? Maholmes destroys you from the pocket and then becomes a menace when he scrambles. Difference is, he has a pocket.

Yeah, you always hear it, then you go to a new stadium and they are no where near what we have now. I’ll withhold judgement, but the reality is, when you start creating more luxury suites and less bleachers, the lines end up getting jacked up, seats go way higher (away from the field) and the comparable locations are rarely, if ever as good for the average fan.

I haven’t been to all the stadiums, but a fair number of them and as far as the game day experience goes, there’s nothing better than Buffalo. That said, the stadium has next to zero amenities and all that said, the egregiously low ticket prices reflected that. Unfortunately, Buffalo is moving into the new world of PSLs, way more luxury seating, insane ticket prices, worse sight lines, and everything a woman could want in their game day experience.

The term Journeyman is one used in the trades to indicate you are of proficiency at the basics of your trade, not a master, not a rookie. It’s a term to say, you are serviceable as an average expectation at your job. It is not one to say you have taken a “journey”, as in many teams, to be where you are. One does not need to go to many teams to be a Journeyman, as you are incorrectly trying to make it seem. These players are, in the present terms, a JAG or Just Another Guy. They are not poor, they are not special. God help them if Diggs goes down, season over.

The crazy part is, he was clearly the best passer in camp the year he won the job.

He’s an exceptional athlete that plays entirely too conservatively. He could have been one of the better QBs in the league IF he would have made a throw with anticipation and not wait for everything to be perfect. He won’t. So he is what he is, a really good back-up with a very limited ceiling.

OL could have been built through the draft, take you pick of all the whiffs and look at what we could have had. Had he found a real pass rush with all the capital spent on DL, Miller wouldn’t have been needed and money would be available for OL too.
