Kaiir Elam is a liability any time he is on the field

[Einstein]

He was routinely targeted, routinely beat, and routinely frustrated.

 

Some fans thought he was a healthy scratch in previous games simply because Benford is better.

 

Yeah, Benford is better… but Elam is also a bad player.

They’re not mutually exclusive. 

[Rc2catch]

Your big takeaway from this game is to pick on Elam covering Ridley? 

[BillMafia716ix]

Trade Elam and our 1st round pick to Denver for Patrick Surtain II. 

[dave mcbride]

Yes, Doug Pederson implemented the Kaiir Elam plan. I also think his badness is why the Bills blitzed so much - whoever he was covering was going to get open.

[Beast]

I thought they picked on Jackson in the 1st half and Elam in the 2nd.

 

Regardless, we are hurting at Corner and Linebacker and our offense stunk up the United Kingdom. Our defense had only given up 11 through 3 quarters. They just ran out of gas late.

He’s bad.

[TheBrownBear]

I'm just glad he's out of the dog house.

[Old Man]

No doubt he was bad, Couldn't get off the field on those 3rd downs

[Dr.Sack]

Let’s blame Kaiir for Milano and Jones for being injured. Let’s blame Kaiir for the offensive no show the first 3 drives. You clown.

Strawman, much?  Those are separate issues from Elam's utter suckage.

Maybe. Ridley is also pretty good. 
I certainly didn’t walk away thinking Elam is why they lost though

Nothing in the OP claimed that Elam is why we lost. You made that up.

 

But he was certainly part of the reason. As were others.

[Success]

More of a mixed bag from him today.  He had some nice tackles and jams at the line. But his coverage wasn't good.

 

[BigDingus]

Fans can conjure up whatever imaginary version of Elam they want, but there's a reason a 1st round pick has been a healthy scratch all year and only seeing the field due to injuries. 

 

The dude had 11 tackles today. Is that impressive, or is that an indictment of how he was targeted all day, and how many times his guy caught the ball?

[ALLinALLEN]

He’s horrible. Seen all I need to see. He cannot play. Beane needs to trade for someone. Idc what it takes to get surtain, that’s my target. 

[stlbills13]

They picked on him in all big moments. We got outcoached in addition to a lot of other things

Why would Denver do that?

[maddenboy]

some players are just bad

 

first round picks are sometimes bad

 

Front offices sometimes make poor picks.  Sometimes those are first rounders.

 

Live moves on.   We did not win the "superbowl of the 2022 draft."  oh well.

I never claimed anything. I said I didn’t view it that way. 
But please continue on your crusade. I’ll stay out of it.
