Stank_Nasty Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Couple of bills making the lists here. I looked around a bit on the front page and couldn't find these listed. If they are i'll just take'm off or they can be merged. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/NFL100-2018/100-quarterbacks-players-coaches-executives-issues-shaping-nfl-future The 100 QBs, coaches, issues and decision-makers shaping the NFL 8. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills Yeah, we're going to put all the 2018 first-round QBs on this list because it looks like a class that could help define the league's near-term future. Like Darnold, Allen needs a team built around him. Like Jackson, he showed he could be productive (631 rushing yards, eight TDs) while he still works on his accuracy (52.8 percent). Could he be the next Cam Newton? http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2018/insider/story/_/id/25818412/biggest-2018-nfl-draft-steals-building-team-players-offense-defense The biggest 2018 NFL draft steals: Building a team on offense, defense Robert Foster, WR, Buffalo Bills Pick: Undrafted The former Alabama wideout did not have a proven track record of success in college, notching a career-high 14 receptions in his senior season with an overall grade of just 48.6. Foster outperformed expectations as an undrafted rookie wide receiver, however. He expanded his role in the Bills' offense as the season progressed, eventually solidifying as one of the top two receiving options for quarterback Josh Allen. Allen looked Foster's way often deep downfield. In Weeks 10-17 -- when Foster began to see consistent snaps -- he recorded 304 receiving yards on passes 20 or more yards downfield, which ranked fourth in the NFL over those eight weeks, trailing only T.Y. Hilton, Tyreek Hill and Antonio Brown. His 72.1 overall grade led all Bills receivers Levi Wallace, CB, Buffalo Bills Pick: Undrafted Wallace didn't see the field until Week 10, but he made an instant impact. Among cornerbacks who logged 200 or more coverage snaps, Wallace ranked in the top five and first among rookie corners in overall grade (83.5) and coverage grade (85.3) in 2018. He allowed only 10 receptions on 19 targets in coverage for just 94 yards, with only 8 total yards allowed coming after the catch. Wallace's 0.45 yards allowed per coverage snap ranked first among all cornerbacks, and over the course of the Bills' final seven games, he committed no penalties. Basically all stuff we already knew. But cool to see all these young names popping up! very excited about the future! 8 1 5
Big Turk Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Key point? If you want to get UDFA's, get them from Alabama. 6 3
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 So wait, you're saying don't "fire everyone" anymore? 4

buffalover4life Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 It was a great class, and since the regimen came in they seemed to have cut the fat quick and turned around a laid a solid foundation, QB, LT, CB, CB, MLB , FS, SS are all, for the most part, set for 3+ years without contract risk. They have 100 million to blow now, they have been great on a budget, lets see how they do with these more risky big money contracts
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Bills Love from ESPN? Time to pay closer attention to our backs.
Like A Mofo Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 The insatiable desires and yearnings for ESPN validation from some of our fanbase absolutely baffles me. 2

The foundation on offense is extremely suspect: aged at RB, 3-4 new starters needed on OL, WR is an unknown or thin at best, and almost nothing long term at TE.

You know what’s worse than the “hot take” guys? The people that make negative comments to everyone but also to no one in particular in every thread. Its called being passive aggressive. If you’re going to be aggressive just go all in and say what you mean, to the person doing/saying what you disagree with. Don’t hide behind these thinly veiled callouts so as not to be held accountable if someone decides your opinion is worth the debate. i mean, if we’re to believe that “fire everyone” is actually a quote like your post suggests, why not bring it up to the person/persons that actually said it?

GRHater69 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 2 UDFAs is not bad. Polian built a lot of our teams on late round guys, maybe McBeane can do the same with guys that fly below the radar on draft day.
Warcodered Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) It was so nice of them to preface Allen's section with "Hey we had to put all the Rookie QBs on here." Edited January 23, 2019 by Warcodered

I can see how you got that out of me posting a couple of cool reads. I would have posted it from anywhere that I saw it.... and I ended the whole thing by saying that its not anything we didn't already know.... way to take it over the top though. solid take, bruh. you're obviously so much more level headed and much more collected than us mere mortals and our media "yearnings". you've got it figured out.

Really dude? Take it at face value and move on. It was some tongue in cheek humor, and the fact that I even have to explain that is ridiculous. Sorry that didn't strike you as funny. That said, I've directly commented/called out plenty on the multiple fire everyone type threads that popped up during the worst stretches of the 2018 season, if you care to go back and review.
Seasons1992 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I like the fact that Kim Pegula was #100 as a storyline. She needs to grab Roger by the ear and make some changes for the betterment of the league. No one messes with the Black Widow!

You are being very mean to him. Watch it or you may trigger his sensitive soul. 1

You're right---I need to go back into hiding and think up other topics I can go back to being passive aggressive on so no one is directly offended.
