    because he's a proven decorated QB killer that the young ones can model their game after, this guy would be a huge addition. 

     

    He's 31 and coming off a season ending torn bicep where he missed most of the year. Not worth a 1st Rounder at this point in his career and we'll need that 1st for other positions following the Josh and Tremaine deals. We've already allocated a 1st and 2 2nd's in the past two years. Spending another 1st on the same position is crazy talk at this point.

    You can cherry pick anything to suit your purpose.  Throw out his good runs and then yeah, his average declines.  Why don't we throw out the runs with no blocking and see his average climb?  If your point is that sometimes we need someone to grind out a yard or two yards in short yardage, then I agree with you there.  Neither Moss nor Singletary is that kind of back, someone to push a pile for a yard to get a first down.  The Bills should get a bigger back for that duty and I think they have neglected that role.  IMO they thought Moss could it, but I think he's too small too.  As for the drop...he dropped it.  All players screw up.  If you want to vilify him for that, that's your preogative.      

     

    You're all missing my main point. And cherry picking the multiple "removes" without reading the context. And that's that his good plays last season - the ones that swing his average - came on plays that didn't matter. 50 yard TD runs when the game was well over. 10+ yard draw plays when the D was more than willing to give him that cushion to prevent the ball going down field on 3rd and 12+

    Singletary has a career average of 4.8 ypc.  Last year, his “down” year, was 4.4. People need to find a new scapegoat for the run game.  Singletary can improve, and I’m glad he’s working hard, but the 5 guys up front have to do better.  

     

    Remove the first year and remove the occasional 50+ yard scamper in garbage time when the opposing D has turtled (like against the Broncos) and remove the 10 yards or so the D would give him in 3rd and 15+ situations and the like - I'd bet that stellar looking average don't look so stellar. When we needed the tough yards, they consistently didn't come last season. Are some of us maybe a little too harsh on him? Perhaps. But let's not overcorrect and point to his inflated ypc to say he's solid. Tell me what the O-Line did wrong on this drive killer in the championship game?

    Directly from the Pittsford website,

     

    "The Town of Pittsford is located in the southeastern portion of Monroe County in upstate New York. Rochester is the closest metropolitan area and is approximately eight miles to the northwest".

     

    Definitely not part of City of Rochester, Pittsford is an upscale bedroom community with a Clarence, Orchard Park or East Aurora feel to it.  Second wealthiest zip code in Rochester area.  

     

    It's a village... in the suburbs of Rochester. 

     

    "The Village of Pittsford is the oldest village in New York incorporated in 1827. The village, an Erie Canal community, is in the Town of Pittsford. Pittsford is a suburb of Rochester, NY."

     

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsford_(village),_New_York

     

    Also funny how their urgent care is the University of Rochester https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/urgent-care/

     

    And what exactly does these "upscale bedroom community" and "higher end clientele" comments have to do with anything in regards to the pandemic and whether or not Training Camp will be held? Do you live in Rochester? Or excuse me, one of the many towns and villages that comprise it?

     

    Because I do. Actually, I live in Irondequoit. But you know what it says on my mail? Rochester, NY. No one around here says Irondequoit, Greece, Pittsford, Gates, Fairport, etc are not Rochester. Rochester is not just some 10 mile stretch downtown.

    So st john fisher college ended classes on Thursday 

     

    1) all classes were optional re: zoom or in person 

    2) all students were tested on campus every Wednesday 

    3) no extra people were allowed on campus at all re: doorm parties (were they drink milk and cookies)

    4) when students left the doorm on Thursday only one extra person was allowed into the doorm room to help clean out and carry stuff.

    5) all students while on campus were required to have asked on at all times

    6) only 1 cafeteria on campus was open.

     

    And st john fisher is in Pittsford and has nothing to do with the city of Rochester (a little higher end clientele)

     

    I will be seeing the ad on Monday put I did not here anything to say a no.

     

    This post is extremely confusing. You list all the precautions SJF has done for their paying students.  What about that list makes you think they'd be comfortable busing in crowds of the general public to spectate a football team? Btw Pittsford is a township of the city of Rochester. "Higher clientele" (which is pretty offensive) or not.

    Will there be fans allowed? If no what's the point?

    That goal did not need to happen.  Bjork turnover along the board.

     

    Exactly. And other things compounding the issue is -

     

    a.) There's no on site parking. Fans have to stand in line and pile on to busses to be shuttled to and from Camp. No real way of controlling social distancing and the large public transportation increases risk of exposure.

     

    b.) Rochester has cancelled a number of Summer Festivals like Park Ave Fest and moved the Jazz Fest out of the city this year. Things like the Lilac Festival is being spread out over weeks with attendance capped tightly. Opening Bills Training Camp to the public doesn't really jive with how the city has been operating as of late.

  7. I doubt it. As a Rochesterian, I love having them here. But the writing was already kind of on the wall that they were basically riding out the contract and that they preferred their new fancy digs they had built in Buffalo. So why would they go out of their way to come up with a plan and expose themselves to unnecessary risk when it's not required and they probably don't even want to in the first place? Even *if* they did - I'd expect it to be a very limited engagement. One in which it's ticketed, basically invite only for sponsors, and the type that would be in the VIP tents in previous years.

  8. That's what bad teams do. They take big things that happen in a single game and hang their hat on it. It's like the couple times we beat the Patriots during the drought. It'd make the cover of SI and we'd all revel in it for an entire season. Because otherwise, all you've (in this case, the Cardinals) got to focus on is failure.

    He's just as bad as Star Lotulelei was as a Bill prior to his opt out.   Maybe that's better than Star now but it's not good enough to waste snaps on.

     

    Star wasn't bad with the Bills. His role is an unsexy one that won't show up on the stats sheet. Did you notice how big of a drop off our D-Line had last season without him? It wasn't a coincidence. He makes the rest of the line better by eating blockers.

  10. I don't like the rule from a consumer standpoint. Nike jerseys are too expensive to be making so many outdated so quickly.

     

    Case in point, DeAndre Hopkins is teasing a switch from #10 to #6. And I'd bet a million Cardinals fans bought DeAndre Hopkins new jersey for $120 under a year ago. Hell, there's probably more than a few that randomly bought one within the past couple months.

     

    Glad we traded for this guy...

    A RB in the first round is, with out question and always, the worst "bang for your buck" you can get.

     

    I think your misunderstanding me. What I was trying to say was that with premier positions like DE and CB - at pick 30 you're going to get maybe the 5th ranked player at the position. With the true studs going way higher than where you're picking, ending up with AJ Epenesa type prospects. Wherein RB being devalued in Draft's, it's possible you could get the #1 ranked prospect at the position.
