And to think, the off-season has a long ways to go and we also have a thing called the draft ahead of us. Ahhh yes, the I trust McD when it comes to DBs argument. Whaley’s scouts were a part of drafting Tre and signing Hyde and Poyer. Taron is a good player but everything else has not been good. Benford is super overrated because of draft position and beating Elam for the starting spot. Jackson always killed us on third down. Wallace was shaky but a good find considering he was a FA. Elam looks like a bust. We had safeties play behind Hyde and Poyer for a couple years and when they got their shot due to injury they were terrible. McD the DB guru is a total myth really.

Turk71 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Rapp and Edwards starting? Good solid safeties? No, they're not. I sincerely hope that is not the plan. PFF rankings for last season, Edwards 82nd of 95 qualified safeties Rapp. 85th of 95 What a dynamic duo Regardless of your opinion of PFF ... 2 Quote

Going through Chiefs twitter and seeing how many are upset to see him leave and come here is all I need. He’s a baller. Takeaway % is high. 4 TDs. Shows up big in the playoffs. 2 rings. Great signing. Go ahead…make my day…. BOOKMARK THIS BABY. Quote

I'm not their no. 1 fan but if you're rated as two of the very worst safeties...chances are you're not very good Also, all 32 NFL teams and a couple hundred colleges pay for their professional services, so I'd say they have some credibility.

Chiefs signed him for one year last season and they didn't offer him another contract. I wonder why? 1 Quote

I don’t think they were complaining when the SB came around… $3 million on one year deal. Didn't offer him another contract. Ya, the Chiefs couldn't have done it without him and his 82nd out of 95 safeties ranking. I'm sure the Chiefs SB odds have taken a hit with his loss Quote

The Chiefs management has a really good track record the last 6 years Kidding aside I thought he played great for KC down the stretch. He was signed on as depth but had to fill in due to injuries. Can’t ask for more than that with his price tag. Hopefully he’ll play similarly for the Bills. 1 Quote

The last couple teams he’s played on had safety injuries. He’s been a 3rd safety mostly. Chiefs have their starting safeties in Reid and Cook. The Bills offer a better opportunity to start. 1 Quote

I think they are both backups If they wind up being the starters........then I'll sincerely hope I'm wrong.😉 Quote

Neither had really given an indication of how good they would become. McD needs to work his magic. I do hope the Bills draft someone that can play sooner rather than later. Having to play Lewis and Hamlin would be a nightmare scenario. I didn't. 1 Quote
BillMafia716ix Posted March 21 Posted March 21 These safety signings aren’t upgrades over Poyer/Hyde IMO. I see them drafting a safety early Quote
CNYfan Posted March 21 Posted March 21 I disagree that Benford is overrated. he seems to play a good game 1 Quote
ALF Posted March 21 Posted March 21 I'm stunned how much cap space Beane has been able to create without redoing Diggs. Great signings so far and still the draft. Quote

I see them drafting a safety early Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’m not too worried about the S spot. Poyer and Hyde have been good, but they got old and those two were ALWAYS exposed when the games REALLY mattered. McDermott can turn chicken crap into chicken salad when it comes to the secondary. That’s McDermott’s strength as a coach. I’m not worried. Quote

SoonerBillsFan Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Maybe we have a safety that can defend Kelsey? God, that would be nice. Quote
