DCOrange Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 3 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: Good piece, but this is why the grading system is flawed, especially for qbs: The greatness of Rodgers’ performance last night was in the intangibles. Recognizing the blitz, drawing the defense offsides, catching the Chiefs in bad situations and exploiting those scenarios with simple passes to open receivers. But you cannot — and we do not try to — quantify intangibles, or what comes pre-snap. Our system grades what can be graded — the execution of the play post-snap — and in that regard Rodgers did not stand out in the same way that his statistics did. Yes, but Star Lotulelei isn't drawing defenses offsides. QB will always be one of, if not the hardest position to evaluate.

You don't sign space eaters to five-year contracts. This is a bad signing. Why wouldn't you sign them to a 5 year deal?

They signed him to a 5 year deal and then a 3 year extension a few years later. Edited March 13, 2018 by Royale with Cheese

DCOrange Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 8 minutes ago, TheTruthHurts said: Thats fine. His defensive coordinator in Carolina just appoved a 5 year deal. Says a lot about the player and person. He fills a hole. Sometimes these NTs that don't disrupt the backfield are hard to grade. I do agree with that. I hope it turns out to be a good deal. But Star was also working with incredible teammates every year and still failed to produce. Perhaps there's just comfort in knowing what you're getting with him.
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Solid character signing. Father was a Mormon Missionary who brought his family here and got a doctorate from Brigham Young

They know him and like him. He played for McD and his play was excellent. His stats dropped off last season, which was the one season he didn't play for McD. He must like McD to have decided to come to Buffalo. He's first round talent, and there's no substitute for talent. Linemen tend to last a long time, so he could be a fixture for five years or more. This may help bring Kyle back. It means Kyle doesn't have to carry the inside. Star seems to be more of a space eater, which frees up Kyle to do what he does best - slash. I think Kyle retires or returns to Buffalo, and this will help him decide to return. This also means Cousins is out. Bills are spending the cap elsewhere. Looks like Bradford and a rookie. THIS means Cousins is out? Lol The reports he's narrowed his suitors didn't do it for you? That said, I'll agree if they dig him - they'd know and we needed the help so if this is their answer, ? I c

So according to PFF, Lotulelei had his best year as a rookie and has been on a steady decline since? Something doesn't add up. To me it looks like PFF has a whacked out metric. Doesn't make much sense that Lotulelei had his best season as a rookie and was significantly worst the year they went to the Super Bowl. I really don't understand why people still reference PFF after they told you Aaron Rodgers had a bad 5 TD game.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I'm guessing 5 years 45 million. About half what Dareus would cost. Edited March 13, 2018 by TheTruthHurts

I don't feel you can look at stats to judge Lotulelei's play. He's never been a stats guy. He's about plugging the middle and protecting the LBs and safeties so they can run to ball. Also, it appears Carolina changed the way they used him in year three. He went from playing the penetrating RDT to the space eater LDT, which likely changed people's perceptions of his play...

I'm watching highlight videos of him on YouTube, he seemed like a reaaaaaallly good prospect coming out of college, hopefully he returns to form. I'm going to dig around for more videos. What is it you're looking for? DT's that fill the plugger role never make the message board HOF's but they're extremely important of course. 1
Kirby Jackson Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 The Bills desperately need help at DT. Hopefully he can eat 2 blockers (or at least hold them up if he doesn’t feel like eating them). 1
Virgil Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Not sure how I feel about this. Need to see the money. To dump one big salary in Dareus and then then around and spend money on him seems a little counter productive. Especially if we are going to keep rotating out defensive lineman like last year.
