BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 He seems a simple man. if you have listened to him speak you might think the same. i expect he means no harm. i look forward to watching a couple patriots games early on, just to see how he does, same with TD Mike. Don't hate on anyone. But i really never got on board with Stephon when he was drafted. The Man can play football though. Go Ronald Darby !! Better them overpaying him than us... hope he works out for them like Byrd did for the Saints.
Doc Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Better them overpaying him than us... hope he works out for them like Byrd did for the Saints. I'm more hoping Brady's career ends soon.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Cleveland...Jacksonville...are more insignificant. We can change that...just win To a point. Buffalo will never be shown as much as the Cowboys, Giants or Pats because of market size.
3rdand12 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Better them overpaying him than us... hope he works out for them like Byrd did for the Saints. I agree about the money. Tough call, as mentioned above somewhere about quality CBs coming off the rookie contracts and trying to make the deal in the 3rd year. very honest point right there. They are cap killers when they excell at the position lets just pay White for his second contract now lol. I'm more hoping Brady's career ends soon. you know Gilmore plays defense ? just messin with ya Doc To a point. Buffalo will never be shown as much as the Cowboys, Giants or Pats because of market size. and why would we as fans care? ego much yoga head Stephon?
San-O Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Gilmore played when he felt like it and was soft: 2 things Bills fans don't and won't tolerate. Him getting "hurtled" on national TV was pretty hilarious: wonder if his people caught that act.
reddogblitz Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 F#ck him. I'm so not going to miss his mediocre at best coverage and horrible "tackling". I wonder how much patience Bill Bellyache will have for his sissy style of football? Could be a bonus baby getting benched ala Larry Brown.
without a drought Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I don't read it as a dig at all. Some fans need to get thicker skin. His tweet comes across a lot better than the replies here, people need to get a grip.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I don't think Gilmore is that Island type CB. I hate to say it but the Patriots defense might be a perfect match for him.
BillsFan4 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Jonah Javad from WGRZ had a great comeback for Gilmore: https://www.facebook.com/jonahjavadtv/videos/1578773798820936/ Yep, in case anyone has missed Gilmore play, now they can see his highlights... Just watched this. Am I wrong, or were like half of those clips of Ronald Darby? Some were Gilmore (#24) but it looked like some were of Darby (#27), unless I just missed Gilmore in those clips?

reddogblitz Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Gilmore is a top 15 CB in the NFL.... If you say so ...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Gilmore is a top 15 CB in the NFL.... Here's like 12 off the top of my head. Malcolm Butler Chris Harris, Jr. Josh Norman Patrick Peterson Aqib Talib Richard Sherman Vontae Davis Marcus Peters Xavier Rhodes Casey Hayward Janoris Jenkins AJ Bouye Jalen Ramsey Brent Grimes Trumaine Johnson Desmond Trufant Joe Haden Darius Slay Edited July 20, 2017 by dneveu
BillsFan4 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Gilmore switched from 27 to 24 a few years back. Oh wow I totally forgot about that. Thanks.

I feel bad for NE fans. They would have 10 SBs if you were running the show.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Dneveu >>>>> Bill Belichick. I feel bad for NE fans. They would have 10 SBs if you were running the show. He got him at a discount, and is transitioning away from Malcolm butler. He can play any style of defense, and doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. Having said that. At least several of the guys named above would be considered better players than Gilmore. Also not many of them were available without giving up compensation, so its hard to say what Belichick would have done. \ Bouye was, but he's largely limited to playing in zone so i don't think thats a good fit for Bill, who prefers a player who can play in any style. I don't think Gilmore is that Island type CB. I hate to say it but the Patriots defense might be a perfect match for him. I don't either, but he's pretty good. Bumps well, plays over and under style, can do zone, has pretty good hands. His tackling is pretty lousy/lazy, he doesn't seem to wrap up very often. He also seems to have poor mental games where he's routinely beat. In those games he'll tend to get flags, and look for flags when he gets beat. He also had games where he played like a shutdown corner. Better tackling, and a little more mental toughness and I think he could get there. I look at it like this - he has a better chance to become a great corner in NE than in BUF. Talib was good-not-great in TB, then went to NE and Denver and became a shutdown guy. Some guys come right out of college and dominate, other ones take a bit more time and coaching. Edited July 20, 2017 by dneveu

If you don't think Gilmore can't easily be a top 10 cb, you're letting your Bills fandom cloud your judgement. im not going to nitpick the whole list but you're kidding yourself about guys like Vontae Davis and Brent Grimes being better than Gilmore. This isn't a NFL GM who would agree with that.

This isn't a NFL GM who would agree with that. I think he can be a top-10 corner. I don't think he has been in the last 4 years. He's not even in the discussion on this year end review: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000769950/article/yearend-cornerback-rankings-richard-sherman-lands-at-no-1 Or this one: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2717888-nfl1000-ranking-the-best-shutdown-cornerbacks Or this one: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000775730/article/xavier-rhodes-leads-top10-no-1-cornerbacks He's taking over for Logan Ryan, and I think he's better than Ryan. So he should have a good year. People threw at Ryan a lot. Edited July 20, 2017 by dneveu
