Bills disappointed in Elam's potential to contribute this year? (unfounded internet rumor)

[Einstein]

Tough to trust random people on the internet but I found this story from a fan potentially concerning. The fan who wrote this has been a member of that Bills forum for 19 years, so I'm hoping he wouldn't just make this up.

 

"One of the beat writers was at a wedding I was at this past weekend. Not gonna say who. He 'says' that word around camp is that Elam isn’t anywhere near where the Bills had hoped in terms of starting week one or contributing." (link)

 

I know there have been reports that he has struggled at times, but I hadn't yet seen anything that indicates that the Bills are realizing that Elam is just not ready to contribute. Especially upsetting with reports than McDuffie has looked impressive in Chiefs camp.

This is concerning

[What a Tuel]

coincidentally someone told me they heard at a bar mitzvah that McDuffie was disappointing the chiefs org.

There’s still time for things to click.  

Would be good if it was soon, but not a calamity if it doesn’t.

There's other bills forums?

Sounds legit. I will write him off starting now. Thanks for sharing.

We shall all see 1st hand how he does tonight. Indy's playing their starters on Offense

After the old BBMB closed I went to Buffalo Stampede.  It was pretty bad.

My Magic Eight Bell said “Doubtful”. Maybe I asked the wrong question though🤷🏼‍♂️

[Doc]

Let me guess, it was Thad Brown...

Im not buying it. Elam is a man corner trying to learn how to play off coverage. Even in playing man he is going against one of the best route runners in the league. By the source logic that would mean that Levi Wallace is better than Elam at point and you can miss me with that.

I've been been to all the Bills groups and this one (TBD) is by far the best. Buffalo Range is second - loose moderation is nice sometimes.

 

The rest of them I dont even bother going to. 

 

Honestly you're going to get the news pretty fast right here on this forum.

Under this regime since 2017, the only advantage the sideline reporters have over fans is the amount of visual exposure to practice. Nothing else leaks. Sideline reporters have no additional information regarding how the Bills organization feels about the development of one of their players. Period.

Eh, I dont know about that. Reporters with that close access to the players hear things for sure.

 

Sal Capaccaio has said on numerous occasions that he has information that he cant/wont release because he doesnt want to break his close ties tot he organizaiton.

[Royale with Cheese]

They very first reply in that thread.

[mushypeaches]

Yeah I might decide to see him on the field in actual live game action before I crown him Busty McBustoffson

[BillsfaninChicago]

As every football expert will tell you training camp before the first preseason game is played is the point of no return for any defensive back’s career in the league. 😉

People were talking about Jamarr Chase being a bust this time a year ago.
