Is Ed Oliver still on the team by September?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think a better question will be is Daquan Jones on the roster in September. Oliver isn't one to be a game changer, think if he had more consistent help inside next to him, he'd look much better too. Has he lived up to his draft pick level, no, but not terrible either -
Who is the worst franchise QB in the NFL?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Fields doesn't qualify as only signed to a 2 year contract. I think what the OP is after is guys who've signed 2nd or 3rd contracts and are paid way more than they are worth and most importantly being paid like a top level QB, but don't play like one. Daniel Jones contact with Giants may have been borderline, though wasn't getting top $$ -
McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to 14774's topic in The Stadium Wall
After last season, yeah I'm sure And if the Bills had traded up and drafted Big Ben Tomlin probably wouldn't be on the list either. This list is all about SB wins, but many won quite a number of years ago. -

True but he's still won more games lately both in playoff and regular season than many of the names listed above him. -
I was kind of thinking the same , lose the last game as it doesn't matter. Then saw it was the Jets and they may be so bad that even playing subs the Bills still win.

Are Fan Expectations Too High for Keon Coleman?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wow, you must really be interested to see how much discussion my take has got here and compared it to others. And actually most of the discussion has been solely by you. Seems like I hit a nerve here with you accusing other posters of being clueless WRT player evaluations. For someone to be so upset about my take on this, I guess I hit too close to home. -

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm not trying to shout anything down. For all I know Coleman could be a bust, like I said the odds are against him as they are pretty much against everyone. I'm just pointing out the stupidity of all the posters here who think they can tell when a player is going to be a bust or be great, as the reality is we all know very little. There's too many people here who think they are the smartest guy in the room when it comes to player evaluations. I know I'm not as are almost everyone else here. -
Yeah I'll watch off an illegal stream as never had any issues with them. I've actually seed the quality better there than on legal streams. Or spoof IP address to Buffalo. Haven't tried that in a couple of years.

By my account there are 9 games either night or 4:25 start that would be on national TV, plus may get a couple of 1:00 games shown in your area, so probably paying for more like 5 games. I'm in same boat. I'm in the same boat, besides the Bills games, there was maybe a handful of other games I watched, but if they weren't available and didn't see them, wouldn't be a big difference so not going to likely pay for it to watch so few games. Give me the discount like you're giving new subs or at least $100 off and I'll likely take it.

Yes I was exaggerating when I stated everyone wants him gone. But there were certainly a number of threads about him and seemed as soon as one thread would fall off the first page or so, a new one would start up. The point is still valid in that a large number of posters think their evaluation of a player after one or two years is gospel and they are smarter about these things than the people who do this for a living. This isn't about criticism, this is about people who here all think they are the smartest guy in the room when in reality we're all pretty stupid about these things, but some will go to great lengths to prove they are right. And yes I totally agree with you about half of first round picks don't get a 2nd contract so if you claim every player sucks, you'd be right much more than being wrong. So it's easy to look smart and say this play won't succeed. Does that mean the front office folks are dumber than the posters here. And if they don't know, then how can anyone here know more? Reading your responses here and how much you seem to be taking issue with this, I can't help but think of that quote from very long ago : "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" -

And there's a vocal minority that wants to write off Coleman too, or maybe it's a majority. The point of my post is that whether you're the 1st overall pick or the 256 pick, people here think they know much more than they do. And regardless of if you're the long snapper or the QB, again posters here for the most part know very little compared to people who do this for a living and are quick to jump on someone as a bust or the greatest thing since sliced bread. -

Yup just like Brown's 2nd year and wasn't very good. Need to dump him everyone here said. What a mistake by Beane. Oh wait! -
Don't disagree with you but Camarda also only had a 35.5-yard net average last season on punts, 2nd worst in the league. Maybe that was fluke last year., who knows??
