Matt Fairburn: “Kelvin Benjamin Was The Worst Player on The Field”

[BuffaloRush]

 

Post game Bills Beat podcast.  Joe and Matt really hammer this team for a dreadful performance.  

 

IMO the best part is around 21:00 when Fairburn says that Benjamin was the worst player on the field.  He mentions the huge deals the WR’s got in the off-season and how Benjamin looked unmotivated today.  He had 1 catch on 7 targets which is not good.  He said if Benjamin is the #1 WR, then the Bills don’t have a #1 WR.

I can't have a loafing receiver playing with a rooking qb.  Give him a few more weeks but i am fine with dumping him

[Big Blitz]

Still taking Bosa at 1 over any WR.

Tells you plenty about this guy when he's in a contract year and this is the result.

 

On another note, McBeane have traded quite a few 2nd and 3rd round picks to move up in the draft. They also did so for Benjamin, who to date hasn't done as much without his least favorite QB, Cam Newton.

Like I said in another thread, I was stoked to get the guy. Thought it would be awesome to have a top of the line receiver to throw to. Finally, someone with a huge catch radius and size to get up and grab things. Kudos to Beane for getting him. 

 

Now, I think he's a lazy, fat piece of garbage that is barely half-assing it out there. That dropped touchdown was a joke.

It's a ways off...

 

Lets just enjoy these 16 losses 1st...?

[reddogblitz]

KB is a bust TFN.

[Ol Dirty B]

I was amazed by the reaction when this team shipped out Sammy then brought back him and Matthews.

Uhhhh... 

 

The Bills don't have a #1 Receiver

Nor a #2

Nor a #3

 

Unless, you are talking about the Sunday Beer League!

 

They can't catch, run routes, get separation- NO talent! Simply trash, you'd rank in the 60th best in the league.

Bosa would be great, but I’m not sure better than trading down, and down again for 3-5 starters. 

[White Linen]

His lack of effort and toughness are evident.  

[GG]

It’s a close call, but have to agree.  He was dreadful.

I think Phillip Gaines was the worst player on the field. But really there were a lot of candidates for the top ranking

This is McBean's team now, no blaming Whaley here and they have burned through draft picks like crackheads without much to show. They have transformed the team from a playoff contender into a very bad team...quickly. Benjamin is not the only problem here and it is hard to single out all of the problems when there are so many. I went the game today and there was nothing positive. Peterman was the worst player on the field without question but no one else seemed very prepared especially Daboll, Frazier and McDermott. If they Ravens had not pulled Flacco when they did they would have put up 60 points.

Vlad Ducaca gets my vote as LVP.

The Bills shouldn't be taking anyone with the #1 pick. They need to trade down if possible to get as many picks as they can get.

Whaley wasn't fired because the team was a playoff contender. He was fired because he was spending like a drunken sailor and bet the farm on guys that weren't committed.  They topped out at 8-8 essentially on his watch. 

 

But McBeane haven't built much of anything in 2 off-seasons, aside from trade up 4 times in 2 drafts and have little depth. Their UFA decisions aside from Hyde and Poyer are abysmal and they've placed too much emphasis on people who buy into the system than individual talent.

 

Coach McD better get more flexible or he'll be processing his way out of town by the end of 2019.

Nathan Peterman was the worst player on that field. He makes every other player worse that is on the field with him including KB. The offensive line is worse cause he has no pocket presence and can't sxramble, the RB's worse cause his passing game scares no one and the D stacks the box, and his WR's cause he has a weak arm and is not accurate. KB was not good but saying he was the worst player on the field is not a good take.

Funny because shipping out Sammy and trading for Benjamin happened months apart.  One was not related to the other
