Congrats, you just got your first negative reaction.

 

It's not that people are soft, it's that he and now you are wrong. We got Rapp as a backup safety, and he's not wasting a roster spot.

But he is. He’s not a good football player. 
 

Sorry you value feel good stories over production. You’re just one of the soft ones like I correctly mentioned.

Yeah that, or, and hear me out on this, he is good enough to make the roster but isn’t good enough to play over the guys in front of him. Unless your against having guys on cheap rookie contracts that can fill

in when needed

He's the backup to a backup... what kind of "production" do you expect from the backup of a backup?

 

Get real... you're soft, but from the neck up.

Damar Hamlin is what he is, an NFL player in the lower echelon.  The Bills just have better players in front of him.  There's no issue if he's not active next week in Cincy.  The emotions around it are another story, but from a football standpoint, this is not a BFD.

Going into last year Hamlin was the 4th S. Hyde and Poyer were of course one and two. But when I jury happened there it was Jaquan Johnson that had first dibs with Hamlin taking over after Johnson flopped. This year, Hamlin appears to still be the 4th safety.

 

Rapp is more an upgrade on Johnson. It's the development of Cam Lewis to cover every DB position as well as ST that makes it necessary to dress 3 true safeties. Now the argument may be made that Lewis has passed him at the S position, but that's really only fan speculation. 

i was more so thinking j Johnson was 2nd string FS and Hamlin was 2nd string SS last year.  But seems like I was wrong,  thanks for the info
