OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 His athletic measurables either met or surpassed the top TE in this year's draft......just saying. Probably not the blocker but as a receiving TE opens up all kinds of possibilities. Denver used their TEs ....a real sore spot for me John through the years has been the opposition looking at "3rd and 20" as "3rd and short" versus Bflo......and sure enough, we'd get smoked in the seam by the TE.....QB spot is THE #1 most neglected since Kelly era and TE spot ranked a close 2nd........Mackey, Gonzo, Witten, Gates, Gronk, etc all tell me there SHOULD be some value and "love" paid to the position (COUGH)....paging Robert Royal........
BillsFan4 Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I almost said something similar because it's getting old. To take it a step further, "a 201 yard a game passer" on pass attempts a game. The fewest in the league at 29.06. The league average for pass attempts per game is 35.73. If you apply the average number of pass attempts all of a sudden he's a "247 yard a game passer" and we aren't having this stupid conversation. If you want to say "that's not good enough" I'm cool with that. I'm just over the contextless, simpleton application of stats. It's getting tiresome hearing "the guy that threw it 35 times had more passing yards than the guy that through 29." It's the same thing with the Watkins argument. What does he do when the ball comes his way? Nobody is stupid enough to look at total yards and say whether a guy is good or bad. Why bother using that to try to justify their point? Cameron Meredith had more yards a game than Dez Bryant and Deandre Hopkins last year so now he's better I guess. Rex wanted to lead the NFL in rushing. You can't expect to have a potent passing offense when you run the ball as much as the Bills did under Rex. Something else that nobody who constantly criticize Tyrod's passing yards ever brings up - the Bills were dead last in the NFL in yards after a catch, which are added in to a QBs passing yard stats. Which is why passing yards are not just a QB stat. They are an entire offense stat. IMO Greg Roman's offense was not designed well for YAC. San Fran was near the bottom of the NFL in YAC in all 4 of his years there (with 2 different QBs, one of which, Alex smith, now has KC near the top of the NFL in YAC (I think around 10th IIRC)) and that continued with the Bills. (Again, IMO) Passing yards are a terrible way to evaluate/judge a QB anyway. It has no real correlation to winning. There's a reason why passing yards are considered by many professionals to be one of the last stats you look at when evaluating a QB. Now, I'm not saying that our passing game doesn't need to improve. It does. But I don't think that all the blame can be laid at Tyrod's feet. Not by a long shot.
Doc Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 they said Tolbert will play RB. So only one FB. That's right. Short yardage back, right?
Just Joshin' Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Will be eating Blacks BBQ in about an hour. Love Black's - Best in Lockhart. Ever do Snow's?
Speedy Beebe Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Love Black's - Best in Lockhart. Ever do Snow's? Never even heard about Snows until very recently. I'll have to check it out. Mueller's in Taylor is excellent.

3rdand12 Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Ketchup. GMO Catsup at that I talk to Bills fans off this board and no one expects much from that pick. Chiefs are 41 and 20 when ALEX SMITH starts. If he gets injured an even more talented QB plays. They are coached by a brilliant coach. They have smart ownership and a GM from the Green Bay tree. This is how to run an NFL team, The Bills are run by the Pegullibles. They are up there for most incompetent ownership groups. have you met Irsay? He eats his steak well done with ketchup. He is definitely a fries with mayo type of monster. The Horror I was being a tad factitious.. twas noted here ! 60% of snaps - 11 personnel 22% of snaps - 21 personnel 8% of snaps - 22 personnel 8% of snaps - 10 personnel 2 % of snaps - other Now can we get back to the weekend menu??? There is a local that makes the best clams casino fresh Stocked. Tomorrow is a family get together and gave my Middle a charcoal grill for graduating Shanti Yoga training. One bone in prime rim for the Daughter who likes her fat crispy. One Del Monico. Two strips two skewers of Sirloin. Plenty of mussels, potatoes corn salads and nearly My whole Family. Including GrandBabies I will cook the meats. with various seasonings and perhaps some soaked wood chips of choice. today i will sample the clams casino from under the broiler. Lemon or lime, smoked paprika, some hot sauces to to try, a nice Basil Sriracha might work. Gotta make sure i have something nice to present tomorrow. I sure would like a side of Maclin though. Let Ravens trade for Decker

Roundybout Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Yo guys I've been eating Austin BBQ all weekend. How's everyone been eatin'? work on the playground I am helping with is nearly done. Had Bocce Club pizza, John's Subs, and various other delicacies before we got back to it.

This is a good point too often ignored or unknown. TT certainly demonstrated some shortcomings over the past few seasons. But his stats were largely the product of an inferior passing scheme.
JimKellyTryouts Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Crazy talk. Lots of athletes are tested for CTE while they are alive. The NFLPA consented to CTE testing during the last CBA, FYI. I'm not sure if this is a joke or not. If not, all it takes is once Google search for CTE itself to see that isn't the case...
