He's been banged up half the time since, and is on the wrong side of 30. I would cringe if we gave up too much for him. "Elite" doesn't come cheap, but "once elite" and "oft injured" moves the needle closer, IMO.Does everyone realize we are trying to beat the Pats? The Giants showed the world (twice) how to beat Brady, and that doesn't involve getting into a shootout with him. You have to keep him on his a$$, and while our defense has been amazing, that's its one deficiency.Does our secondary need Tom Brady throwing to A J Green? It doesn't matter who Tom Brady is throwing to if he has all day to do it. He has proven that countless times. IMO, Let NE do what it's going to do -- let us do what we're going to do -- and let's see what happens. We shouldn't sign someone just because we're afraid NE will. To me, a team that does that is already beaten.A healthy A J Green in the playoffs can make the difference IMO.It didn't the only time AJ and Brady met in the playoffs. NE held him to 88 yards (0 TDs) and the Pats easily won.Just something to think about fellas. Definitely! I'm all for it at the right price. Lets just take look at your 1st and probably most compelling comment (provided its correct). Last season Green scored 6 TD's in 9 games. If you do the math at that rate A J Green scores 10 TD's by seasons end. Average during his elite period (according to you) is 9 TD per season. A J Green averaged 5 receptions per game his 1st 5 seasons. Average in Greens 2018 season per game 5 receptions. Yards average during Greens so called Elite period 15. Yards average in the 2018 season 15.1.
McBean Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Might get flamed for this, but why not send a low round pick to Zona for Larry Fitzgerald? 1

DasNootz Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I know we're in it for the long haul - but on paper, next season's path to the playoffs is significantly more difficult than this year's. Whether it's AJ Green or Trent Williams or some other missing piece, Id make a move to improve this season's chance as much as possible. 2020 at San Francisco at Raiders at Denver at Jets at Miami at New England at Cardinals at AFC South (1st or 2nd - Texans, Colts?) Kansas City LA Chargers LA Rams Seahawks Jets Miami New England AFC North (1st or 2nd place (Ravens, Browns?) 2

BillsVet Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 4 hours ago, Kelly the Dog said: Beane has never had this job before. He's making it up as he goes along, in concert with McDermott. They have a plan and theories but neither of them has been in charge like this before. Beane doesn't have a trend yet, and it's surely a different mindset and strategy once you have reached a point of being in the middle of a playoff hunt than being on the cusp just hoping to be asked. He should look at trades differently than he did before. There is an argument to be made that a short term loan like Green IS part of a long term strategy because playoff experience is invaluable. He's doing what he should be doing, looking at all possibilities, short, mid and long term, and then making decisions on the fly as to what is the best move at the time. Personally, I'm all for an AJ Green trade if he is healthy. He helps in innumerable ways. Expectations have been amped up with the 4-1 start and defense playing the way it has. To Dave Mc's point-you expect them now to be 11-5 and win a playoff game given their start and (to date) overall AFC weakness. A playoff appearance in 2017 bought them some time in their roster deconstruction process. Now it's time to hasten the rebuild with a deal for a WR to improve this currently pedestrian offense. 3

JoPar_v2 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 An older, currently and oft-injured half-season rental. sure do it, but not for more than a couple of 4th round picks. Paying anything more than that seems pretty foolish.

Hebert19 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 He was doing individual drills today and limited in practice. Just saying.
