Mark Vader Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 So long Zay, sorry it didn't work out. Good luck to you in the future & see you in Las Vegas next year. Who said that Bye weeks are boring? This is just the first day.

Big Gun Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I guess one game of the Duke was enough to seal the deal that Jones was done as a Bill.

Here the offense was a revolving door at most every position, and he received poor coaching, and the offensive strategy was random. While defenses didn't necessarily game plan to shut him down, he was considered as our #1. He got most of the attention. He was never able to pick up any momentum here. Here, the OL, QB, and even RBs have been in transition. Carr is a better QB right now than our guy. I think he is, and will be, a better player than he was here. Good luck Zay. Go Bills!! I hope your boy’s new soil has less drops planted in it. 2

If McDermott made that call then damn....terrible waste of a draft pick Part of growth mindset is admitting a mistake and moving on. 4 1 2

Duke may not set the world on fire, but the team realized it was time for a change. ZJ was a disappointment relative to his draft status.

Why is this so hard? I look at what they are building, and while not 100% perfect....they are making people reach to find the negatives to whine about. 2

You win some, you lose some Yeah, I hated the trade up, but every team makes bad picks. We’ll survive it. The Patriots have cut A TON of second round picks before their rookie deals were over.

The Dean Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 3 minutes ago, Lurker said: The corollary to that is not dwelling on the 'what ifs' and 'should haves' years and years later... Indeed. But picking a guy who doesn't pan out isn't necessarily "a mistake" one needs to admit to. If you have a process, and if that process has proven to work, you follow the process. You won't always be right. But if you followed the process, and you look back and say "Given the info we had at the time, would we make the same decision?" If the answer is "Yes", then it isn't a mistake. It's a bad beat, perhaps. But whatever you call it, when you've decided it isn't working, you have to move on. Same with fans. Holding a grudge because the team didn't pick the guy you KNEW would be great, is just stupid, IMO. Move on. 1

Yes Zay made the opening roster, but analysis was on point and he only made it through 4 weeks and 1 play. Good riddance Zay. I hope you had the time of your life. Thanks @MrEpsYtown but don't hold your breath. People will STILL ignore the substance of the post and the thread that was not only spot on about Zay, but also Foster, Duke, and our off season. The only thing I was off on was the timing of the trade, and I missed it by 5 weeks despite writing this thread in February before Free Agency even begun. In fact, here is the thread...GUARANTEE they don't even read my OP before saying I was "wrong". 52 minutes ago, The Dean said: That probably won't get it done from what I'm hearing. Just FYI I didn't jump on Alpha early in his initial prediction post, but he was WRONG. You make a bet/prediction and you stick to it. You don't fudge. Had he said "Zay won't make it to the midpoint of the season" he would have deserved props. 46 minutes ago, chknwing334 said: Give him props for what? He was wrong. How long of a grace period do you expect for “on the opening day roster?” LMAO at these comments above here, haters gonna hate. Still trying to throw shade even though 100% of everything I said was proven spot on accurate. From FA signings, to Duke, to Foster, and of course Zay and even the boldest part which was the trade. Better yet, it was reported that they tried to trade him at roster cut downs like I predicted. At the end of the day, I made a prediction 9 months ago and was off by 5 weeks on the execution...and you still trying to hate. LMAO. 3 2
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Say what you will, but this FO cuts bait when needed, owning mistakes and moving on in a better direction...in the meantime Gruden keeps figuring the Bills castoffs are just what the Dr. ordered lol! 2

I’m not “trying to hate.” I’m simply questioning why anyone should apologize for doubting your incorrect statement. 2
