Just throw anywhere near Tre and it's an auto reception! Awesome news!!! 3 hours ago, peterpan said: Darn.

DCofNC Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 1 hour ago, ganesh said: and yet have one of the highest paid QB in the NFL. The Bills FO is doing something wrong with the cap Yep. Poor drafting ( in terms of major impact players), leads to over spending to get impact players and unfortunately, because they already were up against the cap, they have gone for older impact players so they would be “affordable” and now they are dead weight. Also resigning their own, many times before it made sense to and using the 5th year option on players instead of extending when it made sense or trading those players for a guaranteed return instead of hoping a comp pick would be worth while, all set us up to fail. Beane has done a lot of good, not saying he hasn’t, but he’s got some major strategy/execution flaws that are haunting the roster right now. I’ve said it a bunch, but JA is this regimes saving grace, without him, this roster can’t win and without him McBeane would be flipping McBurgers. That said, McD was supposedly in control of the drafting when they failed to take Mahomes because he wasn’t prepared to be in control (shame on the Pegulas for handling the situation the way they did too). So you could be looking at a whole different landscape had they not traded away Mahomes and then the Jefferson pick later in an attempt to mask the fact their QB had zero talent around him and they didn’t believe they could get a WR in a historic WR class. Which circles back to spending more to get older talent and then being burned by the older talent/dead cap, but I digress. Then this draft, in another loaded WR class, the focus was getting their 3rd round pick back that they gave up to patch a hole they missed in in the draft and refused to address in FA, so they had to trade for a bandaid. Missing the opportunity to land BTJ or others and instead moving down for second tier guys, again, not impact players. So that AGAIN leads to flipping a 3rd to patch a hole that was obvious to anyone with eyes to get a WR mid year, again, old talent who either will be gone at the end of the year or cost a fortune to keep.

Calling Coleman a non impact player is a fallacy. He has more receiving yards than guys drafted ahead of him/traded for like Odunze, Worthy and Legette. He has a better YPC than the guy you mentioned in Thomas. In terms of Mahomes he landed on a team that came off a 12-4 season and sat most of his rookie year. By contrast if we drafted him he's be coming to a 7-9 team. We had no idea predraft we'd land Jefferson nor know he'd be so impactful.

strive_for_five_guy Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Maybe he’ll do us a Poyer if we play the Ravens in the playoffs and help us win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
