Who Will Be The Buffalo Bills Comeback Player Of 2018-2019

[BuffaloRush]

At the start of each off-season, there’s always expectations from the fan base for players.  Sometimes those expectations are set low for players coming off a bad year, and it’s a pleasant surprise to see improvement.

 

Today’s poll.... which member of the Bills do see as the “comeback” player of next season? I’m looking for the name of a player who had a disappointing or so-so season in 2017, and has the potential to break out in 2018.

Clay or Hughes.

Clay.

A lot depends on the QB.  We need someone to get him the ball and Clay needs to stay healthy

[John from Riverside]

Im gonna say Zay or Miller

[Epstein's Mother]

Not on the list but I'm gonna say Kelvin Benjamin.

[Dave in Avon Lake now]

I voted for Lawson, but thinking about a comeback don't you have to have done something in the past.  Unless you count Clemson, I change it to Jerry Hughes.  Hopefully the addition of Star in the middle can unleash both Lawson and Hughes to levels we saw when Mario and Marcel were here.

[dollars 2 donuts]

You guys are bat-s**t crazy if you don't think it will be Zay!

 

 

 

 

 

 

...no...I don't really think that.  I just thought swearing and an exclamation point would add gravitas to my position.

Just from the sheer fact that he's got proven production in the past, Jerry Hughes is my vote. It stands to reason that he should be capable of converting pressure to something more tangible on the stat sheet.

 

Kinda hard not to be rooting for Mr. Miller though. That's my boy right there.

I voted Jerry Hughes also.  He played well last year but his sacks were low as was for the whole defense.

Since sacks are so important to most for a DE, I think that number goes north with more pressure from the rest of the DL.

 

Having JH play well through 2019 would be big thing for Beane.  He can use picks to fill in all the other positions.

Vontae Davis or Trent Murphy. If it is a player who was a Bill last year I pick Benjamin.

Your avatar makes me read every post of yours in a yelling voice in my head.

If those guys both play well the defense could be really good.

  I assume spell check changed Davis to David.? 

[Buffalo86]

Vontae Davis.  He was a borderline shutdown corner just a few years ago, before he started getting hurt.  He could be a huge piece to our D if he can stay healthy. 

[Happy]

It was a tough call between Zay Jones and John Miller, but Zay is my choice.  I think he'll break through this year.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Comeback player? 

 

Its usually reserved for the injured, no?  Or the guys who played horribly.   

 

That leaves 2 choices.   Nate and Zay.   Seeing how Nate will remain the backup one would say Zay, but after his wacado moment and new sergery I'm not so sure it will be him either.

Yeah it definitely did change it.

I swear my new phone actually auto changes words after I hit send.

Happens in texts all the time between my wife and I, she has the same phone, we are both like "I definitely checked before I sent that and that's not what it said!!"

 

Anyway... Yes I'm thinking that if Davis and Murphy play well then it'll be a top5 defense

[billsredneck1]

i picked shaq because he's been on the team and everything i hear or read about him makes me believe he's gonna look and perform on a whole other level.

 

other than that, i think trent murphy's gonna be a head hunting monster and i predict that 3 guys will have double digit sacks....hughes/murphy/lorax.

combine that with contributions from guys like shaq and yarborough, i think we will be in the top 10 perhaps even top 5 in sacks this year.

 

what a huge difference it will be from last year.

Trent Murphy.

I picked Miller because I think his stint on the bench may have motivated him. Also the change in coaches and scheme may have played with him mentally last year (not Cog's mental!). New OC coach, scheme and hopefully focus for Miller.

Charles Clay.

 

He's very likely to be 1 or 2 amongst pass catchers in targets provided he's healthy for 12+ games, and he's been a solid performer.
