Yes he did, I went a little Longer on a 4 year deal as I think that is what a Team that traded for him would offer. But the AVV of 3.75 is the inflation bump over the comparable player 3.6 AVV with Coleman 1

How quick some will make excuses for rivals when they become candidates to join the Bills' roster. Ford always has his players' backs, but I don't recall him ever doing anything over-the-top or ejection-worthy in the process of defending a teammate; Drake wasn't responding to a helpless teammate, he was unnecessarily adding on to one of his guy's attack on a non-aggressive Poyer. I would not praise Ford for doing the equivalent of what Drake did, just like I never praised Jerry Hughes or Dion Dawkins in the past for doing things unnecessarily that were detrimental to the team. Drake got combative with his own teammate for trying to restrain him, that only added to my belief that he may be a headcase.

Poyer took it way past the Whistle with Landry, Landry went back at Poyer and then was surrounded by 4 Bills before Drake Inserted Himself into the Fight. What is Interesting is how quick or how blind fans are when it comes to their OWN players. Be Objective Really so you DONT think Ford did the Right thing going after Lorenzo Carter after his hit on Allen? Edited October 17, 2019 by MAJBobby

A better Runner than Yeldon, and also Returns Kicks and Punts if Needed as well. He would look very good on this roster and in this system. Think of it as the Bills own James White

Be Objective Really so you DONT think Ford did the Right thing going after Lorenzo Carter after his hit on Allen? Poyer took it way past the whistle? That's aggression to you? I've seen far worse after a whistle. Maybe something was said by Poyer, but I didn't see anything that Poyer did physically to warrant that reaction from Landry. Milano still had a grasp of Landry after Poyer had released him, so why would he shrug Milano off and attack Poyer instead of Milano if the issue was a Bills' player taking it way past the whistle? If Drake was responding to four Bills' players who "surrounded" Landry with the intent to intimidate him (versus to keep things from escalating), then shouldn't Drake have thrown his weight around at one of the four as to show loyalty, courage, and to even things out? He attacked Poyer almost as soon as he saw Landry go at him, he never saw the four Bills players you imagine surrounded Landry; Drake wasn't defending Landry from Bills' players who were trying to bully him, he was inspired by Landry's overreaction and simply wanted to get into the fray. There have been games where I've wished the Bills had more nasty in them, but they aren't that type of unit...you're giving Drake way too much credit and turning this McDermott-coached team into imposing, ruffians in that moment.

Got it not objective. Cool. We should Absolutely cut Ford then for standing up for Allen

We should Absolutely cut Ford then for standing up for Allen I'm always skeptical when someone has a lot to say at first, but then resorts to a sarcastic, 16-word response after their initial response has been rebutted. I never implied Ford was in the wrong for sticking up for Josh Allen, or should be cut because of it.

PIZ Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Doesn't Drake like the Toronto Raptors? He should like playing for the Bills then. He can just hop across the border and watch his NBA games when he wants. Only a 2 hour drive.

And he can do what Yeldon has not been able to do as a pro ie run the ball. Nothing againt Yeldon, but Drake is a significant upgrade IMO. 2
Conlan58 Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Trade for Drake, cut Perry. Especially if it is a later round pick... would love to have Drake and Singletary going forward after Gore retires. Think beyond the 1yr rental!

He actually seems like he’s sort of a singletary gore hydrid... in between the two and probably a bigger home run threat than other with the top end speed. Yeldon can catch, but you never expect much YAC. Zays 5th?

I’m saying that 5th they got would be worth dangling to MIA for Drake. Think he’s better than Yeldon and a nice fit in Dab’s o. But no idea what sort of locker room guy he is.
