Can you imagine Beane properly addressing the WR position in FA/draft so he doesn’t have to bring in flyers in late July/August? 😅

 

this would make an interesting popcorn topic on its own.. I mean really... we are split with positive and negative reactions to this post.

still really good talent there.  

Really?  Only currently rostered player in NFL is an OT with Panthers. Last full time starter in league was Vlad Ducasse.  And he was drafted in 2010. 

 

UMass record is 2-26 in games played since 2020!

 

Not exactly a big pipeline to NFL.

Nothing wrong kicking the tires, but what in his 8 career KR makes you think he's a better return man?  And better than who?

 

He could be better than the TBD whipping boy fave McKenzie as a WR, but he's had 4 years and he hasn't even made it to the same level.

I think Isabella is a better return man than McKenzie was, aka Mr. Butterfingers.

Not saying NFL, but those guys are great football players.  Also, Isabella smoked Georgia. Interested to see what he can do on a well run team that is not the AZ dumpster fire

More like people who are tired of the years-long doom campaign waged by certain posters 

On a case by case basis that should not be held true.

 

Further there is reason for doom. After the 2nd playoff loss in Houston there have been more questions than answers from this team.

You can think whatever you like, but how would you know?

 

Isabella has returned 9 total kicks in his 4 year career: 1 punt, 5 kicks 1st year, 2 second year, 1 third year, 0 4th year.  That's less than 1/10th the 108 returns McK had, and if we assume McK 10 fumbles were all on returns (they weren't, and 6 were his first year), math says Isabella's data set isn't big enough to tell.

 

Either way, it's irrelevant to the Bills to compare him to McKenzie, who wasn't our return man last season.  We traded for Hines to fill that role

 

So the real question is, is Isabella a better return man than someone already on the roster - Harty (all pro) Evans, or Shakir?

 

Evans has 10 KR for 223 yds.  Isabella has 8 for 166.  Advantage, Evans.

Shakir has 3 punt returns ave. 7.6 yds and 1 KR for 34 yds.  Data set too small.

Harty is a former all-pro with 152 KR and PR, KR ave 25.4 y/r - Advantage, Harty.  Harty has fumbled 9 times in those 152 returns - but we don't have a large enough sample size from Isabella to tell if he'd do better

So all the teams that don’t win the super bowl every season for whatever reason are in a state of being doomed by your and a few others here’s logic, that’s just gotta be the most awful way  to pretend to enjoy a sport / team that one professes to be a fan of, just bloody amazing…,

Then you say "all teams."
