I don't care what the analysts say. Half of those dopes barely watch the games and can't even tell you who's who half the time. Right now is when people try to sell new acquisitions to the masses. Of course they're gonna be talking rainbows and unicorns right now. They want to justify these guys getting good size contracts and want the league to look a certain way when it comes to free agent signings. It's all about potential and what X player could produce. I hope this guy is everything and more than what analysts say he is, but to me this is the type of guy that you don't pay and you draft because he doesn't seem to possess any traits that stand out which makes him less valuable and easier to find someone that can do what he can in the draft for a much lower cost

I agree that he could potentially see a bump in numbers due to Allen and the system here, but his glowing praise of Palmer and his ability to win more than most receivers etc is just flat out nonsense I'll hope he can become a guy who can produce at a starters level, but to me that's likely the dudes ceiling. What we've seen from him so far is he's probably a borderline boundary receiver

They can think whatever they want, but the proof is in the numbers that he has produced What you said about him is simply ridiculous, and his play over numerous years is proof that it's ridiculous

Pats used their massive cap space to hurt us with Hollins knowing we couldn't pay what they were offering Shrewd move on their part

None of this is true, because if it was...he would have much better stats than one TD and five hundred and some odd yards, and those numbers are pretty well established as his totals on a yearly basis Beane did a bad deal here for a guy that we could easily replicate with a mid round WR in this draft

This is simply a ridiculous signing that has no upside to it at all We could draft a Josh Palmer in this draft and pay him much less He could potentially get a few more TD's and a few hundred more yards being in this offense, but that's not worth the contract he got Consider me down on this move

It's possible, but if Josh and the Bills are smart (I believe they are) they are coaching him from a run alot QB that takes hits to a run and take hits only in crucial situations QB, and hopefully eventually a more cerebral QB that only uses the run even less because he can almost always solve the defense with his arm or throwing the ball away.

Why are you highlighting parts you want to use to make your point while ignoring the rest which clearly explains why I think he's probably a me first player looking for as much money as he can get and will cause distractions and whatever else he can if the Bills don't meet his demands So, yeah...it's not just the social media comments. It's that he wants 15 mil per year and he's not an every down back, plus he's gone about this in a way that makes me wary of him and his commitment to the team and his motivations. And Josh Allen was and will always be the best player on the field every game. Cook couldn't even be out there when the game was on the line, my guy.

I had no issue with him wanting to get an extension in the 30-33 million range with about half guaranteed for an additional three years. I do however have an issue with him putting out he wants 15 mil/year to the world and then getting upset cause of some people's reactions on social media. And, yes...now that he has shown this type of behavior I question whether he's the type of guy that the Bills want in their locker room. I question his motivation and whether he wants to win or get paid. Me first guys that cause issues unless they get what they want and team be damned probably aren't the best fit for this roster. Hopefully I'm way off base and we have this all wrong and Cook wants to be here on a deal that works for both sides

Dude has handled it poorly, and we saw this coming from not just him, but his brother who was also a problem. Don't state your demands publicly, and don't make it look as if you are angry with the team cause of the backlash you received for something you put out there in the first place. Nobody is saying he shouldn't want to get paid. He has the right to seek an extension based on his play this season, but negotiating through the media is not something that organizations that are run well typically encourage, and now all the backlash from fans and his response has already poisoned the well to an extent. I wanted to pay the guy, and if he would've made it known to Beane through his agent I'm sure that there would have been talks, and maybe there still is or will be...who knows. But to me, a guy who chirps about his contract and then proceeds to get upset when he put it out there in the first place screams headache that is always going to be looking for a way to squeeze the most money out of the team he plays for...even if it's at the expense of others and causes problems for the team. Some guys are willing to renegotiate their deals or maybe take a bit less to stick with their team if the team is successful and has other great players around them. Cook seems like the type that wants all he can get and isn't interested in helping the team by maybe taking slightly less or working the contract so they can maintain cap flexibility. I would bet that he would rather play for the Cowboys at 15 mil then the Bills at 12, and there's nothing wrong with him wanting to do that, but maybe that's not the type of player the Bills want on their team? I certainly don't.

He's allowed to think he deserves more money, and he may even be correct. Problem is he is under contract, and he has now made it public and has apparently gotten upset because people are not happy with his expectations of compensation. He could've handled it like a pro and had his agent bring it to Bills management so they could have worked on coming to a possible agreement behind the scenes...now who knows how him and his agent approach the contract situation and how the Bills respond. Cook just strikes me as a guy who is going to be difficult to deal with from here on out. I don't think this team needs that type of individual on this roster, but obviously the Bills will make the call

That's all fine and dandy, but he just strikes me as a me first guy that wants his money and will always be causing trouble if he's not getting what he thinks he should be, and we know alot of these guys aren't always realistic with how much they should get. I could also see him giving less effort once he gets his big deal so he can keep himself in position to strike another deal in a few more years after that. The fact that he's been alluding to getting paid previously, along with his brother, and now the 15 mil thing with him acting like a diva on social media all screams buyer beware at a position where you have to be incredibly valuable to get a big deal. I was on board with paying him if he wanted a reasonable extension. Now with how he's been acting I am not even sure if I would make that offer.

This kid always struck me as a selfish player that would only be in it for the money and not for the team. His brother was a similar guy, as well. I would package him in a trade and move on. He's not a complete back, and he definitely benefits from Josh and the Oline

Chiefs once again emptied their entire arsenal against the Bills It's nice to know that we may have been their undoing twice now with losses after beating us

Dude has worn himself out with his style of play as he's now a broken down version of who he once was I'm actually surprised he held up this long because I said his playing style was going to cause his career to be short lived very early into his career

Parsons is a smaller fella that gets bullied in the run game and isn't very good at anything besides rushing the passer If Dallas was smart they'd take the best offer on him and build up their interior lines I would much rather have Garrett than Parsons

The funny thing is that the voters did Lamar another favor (last years MVP was the first) by giving him all pro to reward him for the great statistical season he had. They really didn't have to do that, but they did because the noise from the Lamar stans and the biased media was so loud. Lamar gets treated as if he's the greatest thing that's ever happened to football, and it's so nauseating because he's been a mediocre passer most of his career and a major bust in the playoffs...yet we keep hearing how incredible the guy is. Maybe stop glazing the man so much until he actually lives up to the hype that was put on him. Josh was overdue for this award, and to not give it to him this season or to say that he didn't deserve it is something I have no tolerance for whatsoever. You need to learn football and the definition of most valuable if you dispute this man getting this award. FULL STOP

I think a big part of McDermotts defense is good safeties that can make plays and help mask deficiencies with the corners at times This doesn't say it's the fix, but it's part of it. Hyde and Poyer were shot last season and Hamlin/Rapp are average at best, and I'd argue Hamlin is below and Rapp is not fast enough

The Bills have the worst defense in the playoffs ever over their last five games That is a problem, and it's why Josh is now being unfairly lumped into the Philip Rivers/Peyton Manning category I don't know about you, but I do not trust the same people over those last five years to fix the defense You have to make a real change

Only save 9 mil? That's a good chunk of change, dude

McDermott just isn't as smart as Reid...it's that simple Beane has also outsmarted himself with some of his moves That is the difference

Depends on how free agency and the draft shake out I will tell you that a second round pick is laughable for a headcase like Pickens, though Pittsburgh is looking at a fourth rounder at best I would guess, and that's where I'd be if we really didn't make a splash at receiver through FA or the draft

Let's give an honorable mention to Damar Hamlin who just looks slow and small out there Can't do anything to impact the game besides getting abused by the opposition

Another chance for McDermott and his defense to redeem themselves for every failure they've suffered these past few seasons

The spot was bad 1000% Ball needs to be moved up which would be a first down
