Chaos

If Beane is going to trade up, I hope he calls me to clear it first. I would have stopped the Watkins deal if Whaley had had the good sense to call me.

If you look at QB production, Brady was solidly in the top 10 in the league this year. The fact that he did not put the team on his shoulders and carry it, does not mean they won in spite of him. He was a major part of their winning record.

Do I have the option of getting Derrick Henry in free agency for just money instead?

Howard Cosell. There is no substitute. Glory days cannot be re-created.

How so?

You have clearly never played competitive darts.

Signing Cooper as a free agent would have a pretty big cascade effect on the rest of the Bills off-season plans. If the BPA on the board when the Bills pick happened to be a WR, the Bills could go overnight from having one of the weakest sets of WR's in the league to one of the strongest. This would seemingly allow the Bills to definitively determine if the Allen can be a top 10 QB in terms of actual production. If the BPA is not a WR, then the Bills can would have no positions of huge need, and could truly take the BPA to improve the team. In fact, the team is strong enough, the Bills could go BPA in every single round. Playmaker is the only glaring need, and Cooper addresses that.

I am perplexed by people evaluating real draft decisions in the context of popular selections in mock drafts. I believe the level of information available to GM's is a magnitude greater than the level of information available to sports writers and sportscasters. It is also clear over time that some GMs are consistently better at drafting than other GMs. It seems common for people to defend questionable draft decisions with "everyone expected so and so to go even higher, so you can't fault GM x for the decision". My view is always not only don't we know what "everyone" thinks, we don't even know what anyone who matters (people putting boards together for NFL teams) thinks. Would people think a documentary on how each teams draft boards were put together 20 years (before any current GMs were drafting) to see the range of variation would be interesting? (maybe something like that already exists)

Josh Allen is a good QB now. He will be even better in the future. I hope this clears things up for everyone.

Accordng to this ranknig both Oliver and Ford under performed their draft position.

thought this thread was going to be an exmplanation of why it was good the bills missed the playoffs for 20 years

What Div 2 school did Mack play for?

I think we should do whatever it takes to get him, maybe a Sammy Watkins trade up type maneuver.

This threads should all have an auto reply. When the players are cut, the reply should say "red flag, they are being cut, stay away, they suck". Then if the Bills sign them it should update to "Beane knows free agents, this is another piece to the Super Bowl puzzle"

Brady's wife earned 50 million per year at her peak. That probably had some impact on Brady's analysis, which too date remains unique.

The bolded part is why the NBA has nothing similar to the parity concept. Introducing that to the NFL would like ruin the league forever for teams like the Bills.

A cap on the highest individual salary is a completely separate variable from the owners getting richer. Conceptually the salary floor and total payroll cap dictate how much is left for the owners. An individual cap actually disrupts competitive balance. For example If the Indvidual cap was 20 mm and mahomes and dak Prescott both make 20 that is a huge advantage to the chiefs.

. As it turns out, people who have measurable accomplishments have more to defend, the politicians who have simply built a resume by winning elections and showing up (or if they lose, having a buddy appoint them to another resume line item job). Those that have done little or nothing have nothing to defend.

This post is moronic.

I have often wondered how important Jerry Rice was to Joe Montana and Steve Young. Not many teams have back to back HOF QBs. Both were great QBs, but Rice is arguably the best ever at his position.

The stupid is strong in this thread.

Kind of impossible. Ravens get two agains the bengals. Whereas the bengals get two against ravens.

Bills fans are so scarred from having dismal drafts that a middle of the pack draft feels like something that only a football Einstein could ever pull together. I think that main think to note is most teams have decent drafts.

Natural is overrated. Crapping indoors isn't natural either. But its been a pretty good thing for improving civilization.

feel free to argue on the use of the word "most" but combine co-habitation with half of marriages ending and divorce (and talk to some twenty somethings) and you will realize that getting married is considered something to "see if it works out", not "something we have to make work". I wish it weren't so.
