[John from Riverside]

This is going to be a rough week on this site

He's replaceable. Too many fans have their hearts invested in him because he had one great game against a hated division rival. 

he does have high end speed and elusiveness and he’s had 2 or 3 monster games when he played and got the targets. 
 

absolutely separates in man coverage…

 

i dunno maybe it’s time to move on from the Cole catch and dive stuff.

Dude has literally had 1 good game in his career and never had more than 303 scrimmage yards in a season. He's nothing more than a average returner/gadget player, but some people are acting like we'd be losing some game changing playmaker.

Breida is/was the best player on the team with the ball in his hands and they completely removed him from the offense because Josh muffed a handoff to him.

 

So let me get this straight.

 

You know that the Bills removed Breida from the offense, not because of what he did/didn't accomplish in practice; not because he had 26 carries for 125 yds which Math says is 4.8 ypc (that's ok but not great); 7 receptions for 72  yds; and a fumble lost against the Jets in November in addition to the fumbled handoff  - but because inexplicably, those mean old stupid coaches benched him when he's the "best player on the team" because "Josh muffed a handoff to him" (and it was scored to Josh, even though former players working as analysts seemed to think it was Breida's fault).

 

Meanwhile, McKenzie had 20 receptions for 178 yds which is 9 ypc, plus 9 rushes for 47 yds which is 5.2 ypc or more than Breida, and the same number of fumbles as Breida.  But "he's nothing more than a gadget player"

 

SMDH.  Where is the logic? 

 

Now mind you, I'm not arguing McK is "some game changing playmaker", though I do think he's developed into a better slot receiver than he's getting credit for, and took over the rush plays to the outside that Breida had been tried on. 

 

But if you want to have a man-crush on an underutilized Bills player, it just seems strange to laud Breida to the skies as "the best player on the team with the ball in his hands" when his rush YPC were abysmal, McKenzie's were better, McKenzie had almost as many Y/R as Breida on 3x as many receptions, and 5 other receivers on the Bills had higher Y/R.

 

Seems to me if one of them is JAG we won't miss, then the other is JAG^2

 

Are you Breida's mom or his agent or something?

That's a lot to read into that

What is sad our offense woke up when lol dirty started playing more again! I was screaming all year the difference this year from last year was his quickness teams had to contend with. Need lol dirty back!!!!! He said he would play here for candy

I can't believe Danny Amendola is still in the league.

It is, but that doesn’t mean McKenzie, on a potentially decent $$$ contract is the guy to replace Beasley with.  
 

If Jameson Williams falls due to the ACL, we should sprint to the podium.  He may take a while to get ramped up, but we can afford to wait for him to get up to speed.  
 

Diggs and Davis on the outside, with Jameson Williams in the slot would be absolutely absurd.  
 

We need more high end talent.  Too many solid players 1-53 and not enough game breakers.  
 

Josh Allen can take over when unleashed in the Playoffs, but it’s a long season and we need a consistently elite offense during the regular season to make sure KC comes to Buffalo in the Playoffs.

Good teams lose good players. He's exactly the kind of player you let walk. If we want to keep Davis, he'll need a new deal at some point int the next 12 months. With a player like Allen, we'll be looking to get new playmakers on the cheap via the draft or via discount in FA

[Bangarang]

It’s a shame if that’s the case. 

[HamptonBillsfan]

Beasley must be retained, despite the detractors. He's clutch,tough as heck  and talented. He is our Julian Edelman and Kupp. Now that the vaccine controversy is in the rear view, let's embrace Beasley.

Ehhh, it may or may not. He’ll definitely test the open market for sure like last year, but I don’t feel like his value at WR has increased. If he was unhappy with last years offers, this years won’t be any better.

 

 

I thought it increased significantly at WR. 

 

He's never had a game like that New England game. Our fanbase saw it, I'm sure other teams will too. 

 

On the other hand, people are really overreading the significance of that tweet, I think.

What?

Stop it. Beasley just played his last game as a Bill.

I love Beasley for his vax stance, so this definitely isn’t me harboring some off-field hate for him…. He’s not Kupp, and we need more explosiveness around Allen.  
 

WR’s are expensive when you’re paying a QB… They also come very NFL ready now.  
 

Allen has Davis dominating as second year 4th Rounder.   Can we give this dude a premium pick for once?

Nah. 

 

The vax stuff isn't in the rear view. Way too early to say that and no reason to think he won't keep right on spouting off and being selfish.

 

And he's on the way downhill. Not what he used to be. Still very good at zone but has taken a major drop at man-to-man. I could imagine them keeping him, esp if he takes a bit of a cut. Hope they don't.

 

Oh, and comparing him to Kupp or Edelman is ridiculous. Was even before his productivity started to drop.

Stop what, who's your replacement as an inside receiver for 75 receptions and a 1st down machine if McKenzie moves on.

Cooper Kupp is an MVP candidate and is having one of the best WR seasons in NFL history. Beasley is the trailer park version of: "We have Cooper Kupp at home".

The only thing they share in common is that they're white blond dudes.

They'll draft someone to compete with Hodgins. Maybe a cheap FA like Crowder.

Kupp had more than 140 catches for  1950 yds and 16 TDs this year alone!

Beasley took 5 years to score 16 tds and Has never had over 1000 yards in a season.  He had 1 TD this year.  He is Going to be 33 next year and not worth keeping.
