whatdrought Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Bills Message Board: Meh, he's trash. Let the young guys play. Also Bills Message Board: OMG don't let the Patriots sign him. Not making fun of anyone cause I'm there too. Just funny how clearly it proves that the patriots own the league at making retreads superstars. 1
Cornette's Commentary Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Bills fans will take any free agent WR with a pulse at this point. Apparently, that includes T.O. and Jerry Rice as well. I'd also be willing to bet that, if Art Monk talked about making a comeback, fans would be screaming to bring him in on a "vet minimum prove it deal" just because he's a WR.

Just funny how clearly it proves that the patriots own the league at making retreads superstars. I haven't seen one post expressing worry about the Pats*** signing him. I'd actually like to see him go there rather than sign here. He's not that good. Especially when he doesn't have much help at the the other wideout positions and NE*** is really hurting there at the moment. 1

Can’t wait for Brady to retire!!! 1
Ned Flanders Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Take a flyer on him, why not, could be a James Lofton-like signing. I think Lofton was 33 when the Bills signed him. Please don't think I'm comparing LaFell to a HOFer, but 31 at WR is not ancient and he could have some decent years left.
Kmart128 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 McCarron has some chemistry with Lafell so why not. 1
Your Brown Eye Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 James Lofton the HOF'er? You're comparing a guy who has never crossed 1,000 yards in a season to a HOF WR? Lord, bless your heart. 2

RussellDopeland Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 You might as well sign T.O.. He may be 40 something, but he has to be faster than the plodding, lead-footed LaFell.
NewEra Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 He’s a bum. Would rather see what these kids have. Doesn’t really matter who’s playing WR as long as Vlad the Impaled is playing LG. Fix the OL. It’s trouble

Nick the Greek Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) You mean Brandon LaFell-off the face of the planet? No thanks. No wait, I’ve heard of him, SIGN HIM! Edited August 2, 2018 by Idandria

Logic Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 I may be in the minority, but since it seems clear the Bills are going with a youth movement, I'd like to see mostly youngsters make the squad at WR. Something like: Benjamin Jones Reilly Dupre Phillips McCloud Foster I mean...no one expects much from the Bills this year anyway, right? So why not go with the high upside guys and let the offense grow together? Is anyone really interested in watching 30-year-old Rod Streater or 30-year-old Jeremy Kerley lead the team in catches? How does that help us win in 2019 and beyond? So that's a "no" to LaFell. Let's get the young guys a bunch of reps so we know what we have on offense going forward.

msw2112 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 I also agree that there's not much point in kicking the tires on LaFell. He hasn't done much on multiple teams in recent years (and maybe not much ever). I'd rather see if any of the young guys have some upside. Plus, we already have Holmes. Streeter and Kerley, so we have enough veteran middle-of-the-road WR's already.
Chandler#81 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Adding a cast off WR now makes little to no sense. We have many WR’s with skill sets, just unproven. Adding a FA would mean the death of at least one draft pick plus Reilly/other returning vets the FO likes. IMO 1
