Charlie Ward?

I want a RT and a RG, but if I can only have one let it be the best right guard that the Bills can get. I don't know enough about interior OL to name a player, but just that single improvement would solve a lot. It would improve not only the RG position, but also the LG because Bates could go back to his more natural spot. It could also improve both OT positions as a stronger player would be playing besides them.

Joe Burrow does this too. When the sack is inevitable, they turtle, protect the ball, and live to fight another down. I live Josh extending plays, but there has to be a middle ground where he can protect the ball better.

I made a post a few weeks ago where I dig through old mocks to see what the consensus was on Beane’s picks before the respective drafts. Bernard was the only one of the picks that have not planned out that was a reach. I mean, a lot of mocks had Cody Ford as a first rounder. Boogie too.

In that same Wiki article, it notes that 11 v. 11 football with snaps and the forward pass was considered the "Canadian" version of the game. The "American" version had a round ball, you couldn't pick the ball up, and had 25-man teams.

Nobody wants to hear this. They then fall into the trap of comparing prospects in a given draft to each other, rather than against the existing pool of NFL players. Even if you draft the top ranked WR in this class he is probably at most a WR2.

They already had that and they fired the guy.

I don't thnk that you meant to respond to me, but I could not agree more.

OL is the hardest thing to address for two related reasons: The goal of college coaches is to win, not develop players for the NFL. What get wins in college are single-read spread offenses. OL in college don't have to hold pass blocks longer than 2 seconds for the most part. Outside of the top guys who usually go in the top 15 picks, it's really hard to project them. That's why the entire NFL scouting community, not just Brandon Beane, wiffed on Cody Ford. Years ago, Colin Cowheard was talking about a conversation that he had with an NFL GM where the GM said that it would be easier to get a bunch of LBs or TEs, bulk them up, and teach them how to block than it is to undo the years of bad technique that college linemen comem in with. So it's hard to scout and hard to teach. For the most part, good OL don't hit FA and if they do you have to massively overpay. The Bengals tried to buy an OL this past offseason and they had to make a massive offensive scheme adjustment midseasont o compensate for the fact that the money invested didn't yield better results. The fact that the Bills should have made the same adjustment (go to a quick passing game and screens to slow down the rush) is a topic for another conversation. If you were to draft 7 OL in a single year, hitting on 3 would be a good yield. And I think this problem will continue to compound beause fewer and fewer kids want to play a thankless position.

You were doing so well posting all of this in the other thread. Why start a new one? But let me ask you a question. Do you believe that Beane released Hodgins to sign Brown and Beasley?

The Bills are by far the most successful team that I support but this message board is the most negative and toxic of all that I participate in. I think its a combination of the last game of the year being such a letdown and the fact that only the negative posters are currently participating. There is also a drought-era reflex of assuming that every player on every other team is better than Bills players. It and you cool and savvy back then. BTW, the Bills needs one OG and a offensive playmaker to be right back in the mix again.

I guess it's hopeless. Might as well trade Josh, rip it down and wait until Mahomes retires in 15 years.

That's creative trolling I'm sure these guys chare your man crush on Mahomes https://www.chiefsplanet.com/

Should have started a Puppy Bowl thread. Cocoa Bean just scored for team Ruff. Tie game.

You do know that incognito windows are for more than porn…

Now that’s more concerning.

There is nothing in that video that indicates that Stef wants out. Wasn’t Stef just on a radio show yesterday talking about how he thinks the Bills can win the SB next year? His brother just wants to play with him. He’s been saying this since last year.

It's probably just that he's been here for a few years and isn't getting interviews for OC jobs.

Am I understanding you correctly in that you don't consider Josh Allen to be a "real QB?"

I don’t know about that. The NBA has max contracts.

Ever since the clock showed zero in Buffalo two weeks ago, this board has been a race to the bottom to see who can be the most dramatically miserable.
