BuffaloFan68 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm still only predicting 5 wins for us in 2013 but it will be turning point and we will kick butt in 2014!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellyto83TD Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Good for KC, probably good for us too. I'd rather build through the draft then shell out big bucks to FA wideouts Because that has worked great so far right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Did the Bills even make a play for this guy? I'm so done with this team! How can the Bills make a play on him when he is still the Chiefs property until March 12th.... :wallbash: Like many NFL players including numerous current Buffalo Bills, it's a bit hard to evaluate Bowe because of the team he played for. That said he's a top talent, IMO. Like a young Anquan Boldin, he's not a burner but he can still get deep, outphysical DBs, dominate the ball with his big hands, jumping ability and catch radius, and he's tough as nails. He would have cost an arm and a leg and it wasn't gonna happen this year anyways. With the Mario contract and Mark Anderson and Fitz still unfortunately on the books, I don't think the Bills will make a Tier 1 FA signing till next year at the earliest anyways. Clayton quoted that with the current cap situations, it will only be possible for a team to have approximately 6-8 players being paid more than 6M a year (and with some of those 6-8 getting 10-15M a year). We have big contracts for Stevie, Fitz, Mario, Anderson, Williams and Byrd. That is six players. Can we add Levitre and another big WR to that pool ? We definitely have the cap to do it.

Homey D. Clown Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The circumstances around Bowe signing with the chiefs is so vastly different than any of our own FAs that are still unsigned, I don't even know where to begin, but I'll make one point that should be obvious to everyone: If you are a wide receiver and your team just brought in a well regarded QB and an offensive minded head coach, how on earth would you risk going anywhere else? Once KC landed alex Smith, NFLNW analysts literally predicted this was a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight was just joking about making a play for Bowe. And yes to your second point. It illustrates how bad contracts can really hamper a team.

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Good. Bowe is very overrated and it is completely stupid to pay 2 receivers #1 type money. Receivers don't win championships. They are secondary players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I still strongly believe that Buffalo is going to go after a lesser-known commodity like Ramses Barden. I could also see making a play for Jared Cook to get the big-bodied guy they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Stop with this nonsense...Bowe had 27 TD's in the last 4 seasons. That's not #1 receiver production. Goodbye D. Bowe..you have a cool name (and presumably, that's why people like you as a receiver) but your TD totals are mediocre for $9 million per year. End this nonsense and move on Bills fans. This is definitely the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I take it back...if he scores 7 TD's this season he's worth every penny (toward the KC salary cap) If you wipe his two injured seasons, he's averaged nearly 1100 yards and 8 tds when healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) If you wipe his two injured seasons, he's averaged nearly 1100 yards and 8 tds when healthy Look what happens to his career stats when you wipe out his 15 TD's in 2010...that was a fluke as his other years are all 5, 6 or 7...I think he negotiated a great contract but he's being paid for TD's he scored two years ago. No thanks. Edited March 6, 2013 by BringBackFergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. Bowe is a premier talent. He's suffered from the fact that the guys throwing him the ball have been Damon Huard, Tyler Thigpen, and Matt Cassel. He's been a bright spot on horrible teams featuring horrible offenses. Yes he's being overpaid at this moment but so is Mario Williams, and any number of guys who are very good players when their contracts expire.
