Maxx Crosby

[GoBills!]

I was hoping for Danielle Hunter last season as he seemed like an a beast at his position and rarely looked out of the play. He cost 24.5 million a year. Do we really spend that kind of money on a sack guy? 
 

Groot will command what 16-19? We still need to replace Douglas and definitely need safety help. 
 

I don’t see how we trade and pay Maxx or Myles and still fill out the other spots without too many rookies.

About to spend that kind of $ on Groot. We weren’t able to though realistically due to the Von handcuff. Might be the worst thing of this whole regime. Can’t hold injuries against them.

The Chiefs beat everybody. 

 

I hope Philly gets them and the decline begins. Travis is aging, I hope he enjoys a lovely retirement asap. 

 

Unfortunately, Chris Jones is younger than I thought. A guy like that would be very nice to have. 

 

.

 

He is the difference and has been the difference.  Its not even a question.

Buddy... I dont wanna argue with you. I respect your opinion. If you read my post, I specified defensive players that Beane drafts.

 

 I hope I'm wrong and where not here talking about BBB and the same exact thing that we have for the last 4 years at least. 

And Knox is not and has not shown that he is good or remotely close to what we pay him.

 

I'm not saying that Beane has been perfect at drafting, and of course I want the Bills to get better, and I think they will. Somehow.

 

Yes, Knox is overpaid, no question. Which is why I don't know why we don't use him more often. I do think Kincaid can work out and be very good for us.

When we drafted Kincaid, I had Chiefs fans come up to me and say, "You just drafted Travis Kelce." 

Now I don't have those kind of lofty expectations for Kincaid, but I think he can become a very good Tight End for the Bills.

 

I know your main focus is the defense, and I share that frustration. Is it the players? Is it the scheme? I'm not sure.

I like McDermott, and even though he was a student of Jim Johnson, I still have really yet to see that from him.

[Kelly to Allen]

If we traded for Crosby he is 27 same age as Bruce in 1990. Hopefully Solomon can develop into Bennett. Maybe Hardy becomes like Kirby Jackson

Is ProBowl accounted for in AV assessment?

 

Sounds like your AV methodology is cooked.

Oh boy, you’re not even good at being a troll. Can you try and contribute something of value to this forum?

That argument works when guys that clearly don’t deserve it are making it, but being that it’s a joke of a system and basically anyone with a heartbeat makes it, it’s pretty telling when not one of your picks has made it.

 

So are you telling me Terrell Bernard should not have made it last year or Christian Benford and Spencer Brown this year?

 

James Cook made it.

 

And yet the team has a better win percentage over the last 5 years than any team in pro sports outside KC.

 

So either this is the most overachieving team in the history of professional sports or there are a lot of really good players are on it.

 

Considering they have the best point differential over that time by 250ish points over the next best team, I would probably say it's the latter.

If you scroll to the 31:50 mark you’ll hear the discussion about Maxx Crosby (see how easy that was?)

 

TL:DR - Tom Brady is going to want to keep Crosby
 

Basically Diana Russini feels teams will be calling the Raiders but ultimately she doesn’t think he will be traded.  She believes that retaining DC Patrick Graham was one way of appeasing him.  Also she thinks that Tom Brady has been active in decision making and he is trying to build something.  It wouldn’t make sense to get rid of a player like Crosby.  
 

Her co-host Chase Daniel, guessed that Crosby would be worth 3 first round draft picks.  She said maybe a little less, which leads me to maybe 2 first rounders and something like a 3rd?

I bet groot gets 20-25 , and it’s a gamble I’m not willing too risk.

They're all a bunch of liars this time of year, but between what Crosby and Brady are saying, Crosby is unlikely to be moved by the Raiders.   He is also under contract.   He's not a Free Agent.

He's too young , already really good, and still has more potential to not resign. 

 

He's the perfect number 2 de if they can find an ace pass rusher

I think I just did. Now when you do the 2025 annual wAV analysis you can add a disclaimer about how the ProBowl is simultaneously a complete joke and also an integral part of your formula.

Not to mention, you think at his age, Pete wants draft picks over proven veterans?

I think he might even get an extension and some new money to appease him if he’s even thinking about wanting to leave the team. Not that it happens this year but rather at the end of this upcoming season into the next off.

Bernard should not have made it, 3/4 of a year wonder and that was really only in the eyes of Bills fans.  
 

Spencer Brown, that one is definitely arguable.

Babich to me is a disaster... unless he is just a figure head to McD and he is still running the D.... but it seems to me like Babich was a significant player in our issues on D this year... personnel was clearly another... like Damar should be starting no where in football except maybe the CFL... 

I don’t think that it’s right to evaluate a coach when the defensive talent had taken a step back.  Lost Poyer, Hyde, missed Milano for much of the season. They are not deep enough in the secondary and Miller’s injury did in the plan to swing for the fences.  
 

I am not saying that Babich is good or bad.  I think he should receive an incomplete grade for the season.

Problem with Maxx or Myles is you're also giving draft assets to get them. Now sure most rookies won't have the impact their first years but long term it might hurt. I'd love if we could add a veteran CB to replace Douglas and/or Hamlin. Jeremy Chinn's contract is up and be a nice add as he's only 26 yet not sure what salary he's going to command.

[Magox]

Obviously I would love to have Max Crosby but honestly it doesn’t make a lot of sense.  He would cost at least two first rounders at a bare minimum and lots of money, which means other key players probably wouldn’t be able to be extended.

 

I think allowing Solomon to develop and extending Rousseau and having Smoot and Epenesa there along with either a 1st round or one of the two second round picks towards a pass rusher would make the most sense.

 

Cut Von and go get yourself the best man to man DB available in FA (DJ Reed) would be my preferred route.

We already have 2 safeties that play the Chinn role in Rapp and Bishop.  The safety type player they need is the one who can make plays on the ball and not allow the deep passes.

 

Justin Simmons fits that role and despite his age he has lots of experience and is a playmaker.   He shouldn’t cost that much either.

[HappyDays]

Ok I watched this video and immediately changed my mind. Trade for him.
