DCOrange Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Hopefully this contract has an out clause early on. 1 1
TOboy Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Not sure he needs to get back on track, just because he doesn't have great stats. Do we know he wasn't taking on doubles regularly with Carolina? I honestly haven't watched enough game film to assess, but everyone saying he's flopped, have you? DT is a position where you can make significant impact without significant numbers. Given McBeane's history with Star, and the fact they clearly targeted him early, I trust they know and like the player. 2
Magox Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I have mixed feelings of this pick. On one hand he fills a big need and probably will be a good run plugger. On the other hand he doesn't get many tackles or sacks and he hasn't graded out well with PFF. Not to say that they are the be all and end all but it is a data point. I have heard arguments that he has played well despite his lack of stats but I can't lie, I'm a little concerned. But I do trust the process. I do trust their familiarity with him and if they are good with him than so will I. Here's to hoping that he ends up being a good run stuffer for us. Hopefully he doesn't break the bank either. 1

Coach Tuesday Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Good but not explosive player. Dareus is explosive (when he shows up). Kwann Short is explosive. Star is solid. I was hoping they'd try to pry Wolfe out of Denver (he's Kyle 2.0) but this does fill a need.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I think he can be a solid rotation DT, I have to admit I have not seen him play very much.
MrEpsYtown Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Curious about the money, but i like the fit. 1
MiltonWaddams Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Necessary position to address, but uninspired choice to address it with. Can't be surprised, but his play last season didn't indicate a guy worth signing for 5 years, more like 2 with a team option for a third.
corta765 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Congrats to all of us who had Star in our free agent preview threads we wrote. Can mark that free space off the bingo board lol 1 1
Kirby Jackson Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I was worried that we wouldn’t have enough Carolina guys this year with Tolbert likely leaving. 7
26TrapDraw Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Gotta say that the present Bills management is impressing the shite out of me. Can you guys remember a more exciting off-season? 3
