I’ve read the article again and still found no Buffalo Bills-related information. McAfee didn’t play for Buffalo and I think this needs to be in a different forum. I mean, when I posted about needing at-game assistance for some Tuck’s wipes and it was promptly removed. I was at the Titans game in OP back in, I believe, 2009. The weather was beautiful (warm) and I’d overindulged some wings the night before.

I never had the privilege of watching Byrd or James. Byrd is highly regarded as a CB, as was James. Of those I’ve witnessed, Derrick Burroughs was every bit as good as Odomes and his career was cut short due to a neck injury. If he hadn’t gotten hurt, our defense would’ve been even better. He was replaced by Kirby Jackson, who should’ve been relegated to a nickel role. Winfield is right there with Burroughs and Odomes and Winfield was one of my favorite players along with McGee. BTW, Belichick used to rave about McGee. That says a lot.

And pray.

Another thing to consider is that we need cheap talent. We need to find gems late that contribute, even if it’s slight contributions, in order to navigate these max QB contracts.

I just don’t know if it’s worth it. We have a sketchy record with drafting high and an awesome track record for drafting in the later rounds. I’ve been told Beane and coach pick early and the scouts have more input late. If anything, and depending upon who’s available, (duh) I’d look to possibly move back if it breaks in a way to be okay to do-so. I’d actually love to trade a 2nd for a future first. This would definitely be playing the long game, but a rookie where we pick likely isn’t going to contribute much. However, a first that could combined with our own first to move up next year would be much more likely to contribute early.

Exactly how is this Buffalo Bills related?

So sad. He graduated high school with my wife. She said he was a quiet, unassuming kid.

Cook doesn’t seem like a “process” guy. I’d love to see what Johnson and Davis could do with those carries and targets.

His half efforts in the playoffs mean that he will never be a Buffalo Bill again. Dude is a complete nut job, glad he’s gone.

They will let Cook walk. You have that summed up perfectly. I struggled with how to make this point and you’re right. His ceiling is lower than his floor, thus the inversion. Thanks for articulating it better than I.

Edmunds is a player with inverted potential levels. Very high ceiling and very low floor. His football IQ is terrible; read, recognition, cognition are terrible. (I’m glad he’s gone but he still signed a massive contract) if you think every player we draft or sign has to be a superstar, your logic there is terribly flawed. I literally wouldn’t even want to go down that path with you because it seems that you’re here to only argue. Understand that assembling a roster is like filling a bucket with rocks. If you only put very large rocks in it, you’ll only be able to fill the remainder with gravel. You need a combination of large, medium, and small rocks to maximize the roster. This is Bill Walsh’s philosophy that is the modern roster building philosophy of the NFL. To call the GM of our team inadequate because he doesn’t have all pros at every position is the most ######ed thing I’ve heard in my life, football wise. We have a talented roster; talented enough to go deep into the playoffs year after year.

Edmunds got a massive UFA contract. Your understanding of player exceptionalism surely must be based on contract dollars, no?

So now we have to factor in future injuries and if you don’t know that the modern ProBowl is a joke, I just don’t know what to say. Come on bruh, BB ain’t perfect at all, but he’s a good GM and perfect for our situation. Read “The GM” by Ernie Accosri, Beane is old school and I’m happy he is. I’m serious about the pu$$y thing. Try it out. It will be a game changer for you.

I’d like to Thank Uticaclub and mike10times for reminding me why I shouldn’t ever post on TSW. I’d like to ask if either of you have ever seen a real life V-JJ. It’s important, try it.

Well, it does give a couple presumably younger players a chance to really showcase themselves. We just have to pray we don’t suffer a rash of injuries at this position in camp and preseason.

It’s mikie10times. Dude, get a grip. You’re the world’s largest Annoyatron.

Bernard. Benford. Troll.

You’re all about signing guys to big contracts - other teams’ UFA’s - so I thought I’d toss TE in there. By your standards, he a sure-fire HOFer. Fella got hella money, right? You just want to argue. Wait, did my wife join TSW?? Becky, is that you?

Tre White, Matt Milano, Edmunds, Oliver, Taron Johnson, our two tackles, Shakir, Rousseau, and some asshate named Allen. Stop trolling.

Homegrown talent is the best talent. Don’t be a hater.

This is spot on. Fill the roster with as many proven vets (not necessarily all stars, but guys who have played) as possible, stack draft picks, and go into the draft with as many options as possible to ensure he doesn’t “have to” draft any particular position. The only holes we have currently are boundary corners, which I expect to be addressed now. Then, if we get through camp with little or no lingering injuries, he can trade some would-be cuts for future draft capital. Rinse and repeat every offseason.

Situational pass rusher to keep him away from long drive abuse. Kind of what VM has been.

We have better luck in the 5th… Exactly. But the cheap contracts are 100% necessary. You have to build with the draft when you have a top QB.

Exactly my first thought. Love me some App State football.

I’m so sorry my friend. I wish there were something I could do to assuage the sorrow.
