And I’ve NEVER outright insulted someone for simply stating an opinion one time. Now if the same person goes on and on about the same thing in every thread, sure, I’ll needle them. But this one was way out of line, and I hope if I did something similar that a veteran poster would have the kohones to call me out too. You’re welcome to your opinion, as ridiculous as it is. As I stated in my edited response to your 1st pre-coffee bluster, a noob blasting a late 3rd Round pick who will play immediately on a playoff team when adding a 10th WR is the much better option, doesn’t warrant home baked pies as a welcoming gift, Mod or not. 1

It also doesn’t warrant a personal insult. Especially from a mod. Unless the goal is to get that person to bugger off and not express a future opinion. That’s where I stand, and I’ll leave it there. 2

Let’s stick together. Personal attacks aren’t needed anywhere ever, but in particular on a Buffalo Bills board where every single person here loves the greatest team. Having said that, I love the Moss pick. 1

Hmmmm you think we reached? Well, only time will tell. Even the top 10 guys in this draft need to prove themselves. Now that he's a Bill, I hope he becomes a force to be reckoned with.
eball Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Nice 1-2 punch the Bills have at RB now...two young guys with loads of talent who are both versatile. It's getting harder and harder to identify a weakness on this team. 2

So why is your analysis more accurate than the "experts" and the actual GM who gets paid millions to do it, a GM that has been pretty successful to this point? I don't have THAT big of a head! lol.. That was my immediate rabid Bills fan take on the pick. Everyone's going to have an opinion, and I didn't like the pick. I thought there were better options on the board that I think would have made more of an impact. Now that he's a BILL, I'm over it, and hope he's the rookie of the year. I'll gladly eat some crow!
Magox Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 What makes him impressive is his change of direction, balance and power. He will be a really good compliment to Singletary and excellent short yardage back. Definitely an upgrade.
stevestojan Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Damn you Tito’s. I missed this pick because of you. Great Value. Would have been 2nd round last year if he had declared. Our backfield is young, but talented. Now we just need... wait, do we need anything else? Holy *****... are we good almost everywhere? Is Tito’s good with coffee? 1

Hit Man #47 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Regarding him not looking happy A few things that will alter that attitude 1. First time he scores and leaps into that endzone crowd 2. First time he runs onto that field in his first home opener 3. When he starts cashing his 1st checks Don't worry...Billsmafia has a way of turning that frown upside down

Wait... He ran an electronically timed 4.52 after his hamstring healed. 1
Iamkrgr Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 His interview was solid. Better than that initial reaction we saw. Love how he says making defenders make business decisions. I think we got a good one here.

Empty stadiums this year, most likely.
YoloinOhio Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Probably already mentioned but listening to Joe Marino podcast and he’s raving about his pass protection skill. Devin was one of the best RB pass blockers in the league already as a rookie too. Hard to find this already developed coming out of college Edited April 25, 2020 by YoloinOhio 3 1

That was largely tongue-in-cheek; the implication being that the team is still missing that breakaway speed in the backfield is all. 1

Players have to do all things well. He catches well...is hard to bring down and blocks well. Perfect fit

Nothing to see here. Move along. 2
Fixxxer Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 This kid is an ox, a good complement to Devin Singletary. Plus, he's the antithesis to TJ Yeldon, he's impervious to arm tackles.
