I predict that Shakir will be a solid pro that will average anywhere from 500-800 yards a year.

I think there’s a decent chance we’re picked.

McConkey will never be a #1 WR imo. He will be a solid Bob Woods type.

You have seen the light! Coach for life!

Wait, we traded up for Sammy Watkins?

If you’re looking for a nuanced discussion about the balance of the value of player safety vs the enjoyment I experience while watching on my couch, you’ve come to the wrong place.

I do? I will watch every game like I do every year, but it was annoying when the body weight rule changed and they overcalled it on every pass rusher for breathing on the QB for 2-3 years. This will be more of the same. They will overcall on things that AREN’T the type of play they are trying to legislate out of the game. It will ruin a couple games. I’ll still watch.

Do you think McD is calling out his leadership? Otherwise, seems like a very strange thing to say.

Folks remember that game much differently now that Watson fell off. Back then, Watson was arguably a top 6 QB in the NFL. We were not going to shut them out for 4 Q’s when the offense stopped sustaining drives for an entire half. Also, classic McDermott calling the “Milano and DE get free rushes at Watson but hit him at the exact same time to offset each other’s momentum and allow him to stay upright to make the play” playcall. I guess he’s gotta make the tackle himself too.

The defense also had them up 16 at half. Because it’s a team game lol

They will get it wrong

I'm not bashing him. I don't think he made a crazy, ridiculous decision. It was just the trade that enabled KC to become a new dynasty that sends us home every year in the playoffs. I would still feel bad about it. Being the architect of your own destruction and all.

McD probably really regrets trading the best QB in football to a conference rival and one of the greatest coaches in the NFL, moreso now that none of the yields of that trade are even on the roster. I would feel bad too.

I have seen the Logan Wilson tackle on Mark Andrews cited as an example, but the NFL came out and said it WASN’T. This is gonna be a predictable disaster. And we will all keep watching lol.

He wasn’t under contract here.

The whole year? I don’t buy it.

No. I would draft a WR at our spot. I would consider trading our first round pick next year + stuff to get pick 32 and draft ANOTHER WR. There’s going to be WR’s in the second round that would be 1st round picks most years. Go get two of them.

Yes. I have long argued AGAINST hiding rookie QB’s at all cost in the offense. I think it hinders development and props up young QB’s who suck and you just don’t know it yet. If Mac Jones was dropped into the 2018 Bills, we would’ve all known he was complete garbage after his rookie season. Instead, he got hidden on that ball control Pats team, won 10 games barely playing the position and they wasted 2 more years trying to recapture that magic before deciding that yeah, he sucks.

Can’t wait to watch plays like DK Metcalf chasing down Buddha Baker be called “hip drop” personal fouls.

They both lose to Mahomes. Shanny is just lucky he doesn’t have to play them in the second round.

And if he makes the Super Bowl and loses, you’re on record that’s good enough to not fire him?

It worked.

I think his injury was probably really scary. He certainly could’ve made a roster this year imo

I’d rather die in WNY than live in Cleveland.
