Here’s his NFL prospect picture, pre draft.   What 1,000 words are appearing to you?

 

Only need 5 words: “Resting Rhymes with Witch Face”

Look at how other rookie RBs are performing. 2nd round rookie RBs should be able to perform right away. Not saying he's a bust but definitely a big disappointment so far. 

 

Hopefully we see him get unleashed now after the bye. 

I am still surprised with that pick, I said it when they picked him, he’s never been able to block, this team relies on backs to block. He’s never going to get on the field until he can do that, they literally might as well line up a slot WR in the backfield, that’s what they drafted.. bad pick IMO.  This FO struggles to project RBs that’s for darn sure.

If this is what you are hanging your hat on your hats on the floor!!!  Is this ALL you have????????  That's it????

[Heitz]

"Cook doesn't want to be a Bill" because who would want to be on, arguably, the best team in the league?  Might slip up and win a ring as a rook 🤣

Disagree. Avery year we have multiple rookies even late round picks getting significant snaps.

Kareem Hunt is the only name left that makes sense. We clearly want a pass catching RB but have no faith in James Cook.

And why would we want another slow RB?

Names please??  Avery one of them......

So you do not have answers at all? Weird a team that needs a RB and is searching for a RB with 3 on the team. Moss gets more playing time, that says everything you need to know.

 Yards are king......NOT playing time.

 

RUSHING YARDS

JOSH ALLEN  257 YDS

Devin Singletary  256 YDS

James Cook  97 YDS

Look at Kamara today.

He has not got much opportunity

[Floydboy12]

Saints may have leaked this just to motivate Kamara a little. He’s having a big game today. I don’t see the Bills

giving up the assets to acquire a guy like him. They may have called but my bet is it never got to the negotiation stage.

Offensive playmakers?  Guys that get the ball in their hands?  I don't think so.

Cooks body language is awful and reports are that he does not want to be a Bill.

Did you watch him throughout college to know if his body Lange is any different? Please name one report that says he wants out of Buffalo

 

this definitely has to be up there for worst post of the season

Seeing as how he and motor work out in the off-season together I highly doubt cook wants out of buffalo

Kamara's character isn't quite that good either. Didn't he just get charged with brutalizing some guy not too long ago?

Brutalized him in the first degree even 😂

Cook has a big game tonight, calling it now.

I don't believe that at all. What SF gave up was a lot - too much. However, just because we didn't match that doesn't mean it wasn't a serious offer. We were linked to CMC for a LONG time. I'm guessing they offered a 2 and 4.

"Buffalo called early, as we said, and kept tabs on the situation throughout, which was easy enough with the strong ties between the Bills’ and Panthers’ front offices. In the end, the asking price never came down to the point where Buffalo was compelled to make a hard offer."

Again, that doesn't disprove my point. It's well understood what CMC went for. If we could have afforded him long term, we robably would have done what was necessary, but the Bills were either looking for a half season rental or controlled contract.That quote does not mean we didn't make an offer, just that the offer wasn't up to the competition. We were clearly very interested or we wouldn't have made an offer at all.

I think it's more about RBs that can help us get TDs. Both Hunt and Jacobs would be upgrades for tough yards. CMC would have done the same but in different ways

Please re-read the quote. The Bills called early, kept tabs, never made a serious offer.

 

It clearly got out of hand very quickly.

 

 

On the other....The Bills might have made an inquiry about Kamara...it's not unusual for teams to inquire about other players all the time before the trade deadline. It doesn't mean anything about Cook.

So they made an offer, but wasn't a "serious" or "hard" offer. But it was an offer, right?
