I think JC’s rep is bigger than his game but he is so talented that maybe he figures it out. Mario was so so in Houston and was possibly the best DE in football for a year or 2 here. Expand Clowney in Houston > Mario in Houston.

Hell, they've had just one winning season in the 10s. Expand Really weird example to use in the Lakers. They were consistently great. In the 80s, 90s, and 00s, they won multiple championships. It is only recently where they commited to a full rebuild that they haven't been competing for a championship. That is until last year when they grabbed LeBron and now AD to again compete for championships. The Lakers have won more championships since 1970 than any other team in the NBA. The Lakers also made the playoffs every year but 2 between 1976 and 2012.

Send him more he will get more pressures and more sacks. When he rushes he ruins plays. On 8/14/2019 at 3:38 AM, Over 29 years of fanhood said: Pretty much this. They’ve underpinned a solid GOOD team. The next step requires some of these young guys to evolve to elite. Guys on roster with elite potential - josh -tremane Edmunds - treyD white - cody -Ed O -maybe Milano - Morse Hyde Poyer and jerry are very close to elite -shady and gore certainly have been. Expand I don't think Cody has the potential to be elite. To be very good? Yes. Elite? Not sure I see it. I think Dion Dawkins could be elite but at guard rather than tackle.
Rocket94 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Clowney is the missing piece. His addition would radically change the Bills defense...it would give opposing teams even more head aches!

Expand Could you imagine being on 10 teams in 10 years between AFL and NFL. Working your way from the Arena League to a solid backup. Gets paid to join a team he wants to be a part of a a potential starter only to get traded before you play their first game there. I wouldnt be happy either

BillsSbSoon Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I still doubt it happens, but clowney makes this defense ridiculous. Ty being held out is awfully suspicious though Edited August 14, 2019 by BillsSbSoon

YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Guess I’m in the minority but I’m in no mood to hamper the offense which needs more talent by improving the defense which is already good. In a vacuum I’d love to have Clowney and the money is not an issue for me either. I don’t care about the injury history. The player is elite, the player is worth it. I do not however want to give up a good OT when we have thin depth to begin with to do it. Shaq Lawson and a 2nd rd pick? Fine. I’m still concerned though about giving up a high pick for a guy who has no incentive to sign a deal with the Bills after the season and not test FA. Sure there is the comp pick, but that’s a late 3rd in 2021 at best. Edited August 14, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1

I would love to have Clowney, but I don't think we need to be messing with an already messy OL.
