If we’re looking for a backup RB how about someone like Alexander Mattison? Could probably be had on the cheap & would be a better backup vs Moss.

I literally say it’s not about upgrading Singletary in the post. Not sure how to make it more clear.

 

Maybe mention the words "rb depth behind Singletary"

This makes no sense. If we can’t upgrade the IOL then it’s not like we have a better option.

 

I’d rather have a furnace than nothing lol

You don’t have nothing.  You have all of your draft picks-  you know, the building blocks of a team-  the assets needed sustain greatness when you’re paying a qb 43M+ and have several massive free agents coming up?  
 

Do you really think we need a better backup for Singletary in order to win the SB?  I don’t.

I’d rather keep our draft picks, thanks. 
 

We have Duke Johnson on the PS in case of emergency.

We have a furnace.  But you running back enthusiasts want a new one because its cold in the house.  Meanwhile all theres a Saffold and Bates sized hole in the roof.

Okay so your plan is to not upgrade the RB position and wait til next year to upgrade IOL. That’s a take.

 

Saying “I don’t know how to upgrade IOL but that’s what they should do” is basically scribbling graffiti.

[SCBills]

CMC was the upgrade.   Panthers got a haul that makes no sense for us to give up.  
 

Of the names out there, none of them make any sense for us.  They’re all guys on par, or worse, than Singletary.  All have less potential than Cook.  
 

If we ever need to activate Moss, and he’s not up to it, just bring up Duke Johnson. 
 

I don’t really see us making a RB move. 
 

OL/WR… yes.

There was a really nice furnace on the market up until yesterday. Arguably the best furnace on the market, and obtainable. But that’s changed.

 

I don’t agree with getting a new RB now. Who cares. The players who are actually available are all JAGs just like Singletary.

If Singletary had to miss some games who would be comfortable with Cook and Moss? 

 

Neither, activate Duke Johnson and make him RB1 and Cook RB2.

And your plan is to piss away resources to upgrade Moss so some other guy can get tackled in the backfield?

Nah my plan was to go after CMC. Plan failed. I’d stay pat at RB and IOL because I don’t see an in-season upgrade anywhere.

 

The point was it’s easy to say “upgrade the IOL” without actually being able to do that lol

Yeah, that’s what I said.

 

No what you said was that no RB will get overworked as long as Josh Allen is here. That's not correct just because he's not running the ball 20 times a game like Barkley doesn't mean a 5'6 running back taking on 250-300 pound men all day in pass pro is a walk in the park or running routes is easy at top speed.

Now that McCaffrey is off the market, I think it’s time to get serious about adding a RB.  A lot of people think it’s about replacing or upgrading Singletary, but to me, it’s about making sure we have the horses to win a game like we lost vs. New England last year. If we lose in the playoffs because the wind is gusting 50 mph in January and we can’t pass the ball, we are going to be kicking ourselves for not bolstering this position.  
 

A couple of options that might be worth exploring:

 

Antonio Gibson

David Montgomery

James Robinson

 

I think each could be available for a mid-round pick, and imo it would be totally worth it.

mid-round pick? I wouldn’t give up more than a 6th for any of those guys.

It's ok to hate on players that aren't good at what they do. But if we could get a an improvement over Moss, why not take it?

What improvement are you expecting? 
He wasn’t even active last game. 
He has a whopping 17 carries this year for 91 yards in 5 games. 16 for 48 if you take away his one long run. 
Those attempts can easily just go to cook/motor if the coaches think Moss is ineffective.

And if you run Singletary into the ground you are still screwed, because he’s the only competent RB on the roster.

It’s like you didn’t read my post at all.

 I don't really care if they run Singletary to the ground.  This is his last year on his rookie deal.  After that, he's not going to be worth it for us to keep.  Run one of the most under-utilized backs "to the ground" and give Cook some touches so we can "run him into the ground" for 4 years at the Rookie deal.  Rinse and repeat.

1.  improving interior offensive line

2. improving interior offensive line

3. improving interior offensive line

4. improving right tackle

5. improving interior offensive line

That's what I prefer, but I don't see many of these players being available. OL play is a huge weakness throughout the entire NFL. 

 

The guys listed by the OP certainly don't move the needle for us at all. CMC made a degree of sense for us, but certainly not at that price. I do not see NYG trading Barkley either based on their record and him being an FA at the end of the season. That isn't the same as Sammy and Dareus. I think they would try to keep him personally

What is the obsession with adding RBs when Singletary is playing perfectly fine?  Is this like a Fred Jackson thing?  Every year there is someone they are trying to replace him with?

because we are an injury away from Zach moss playing a part in our SB run

Lol-  i just woke up, saw dudes post and gave my opinion on his post.  I haven’t researched which OL might be available for trade.  MY BAD.  I didn’t know I had to propose a business plan in order to make a post in dudes thread.  

Posting on a message board IS like scribbling graffiti.  You’re acting like this is serious business.  Actually, you’re not.  You see an opportunity to talk smack to your daddy and you jumped on it.  And failed.  Per usual.

We don’t work for the Bills bruh.  We’re on the couch.  We can’t actually DO ANYTHING.  
 

you probably would’ve been ok trading a 2,3,4 and 5 for cmac.
