    This is my best case scenario. A young power forward. We shall see soon enough whether this is wishful thinking.

    The Bills are the ones who did not pick up Watkins 5th year option. So what Watkins wanted was irrelevant...UNTIL Sean messed up and ceded team control of the asset. So to answer your question, the QB the Bills would have drafted in 2017 or even in the 2018 draft that everyone is putting all their hopes in.
  3. jeffismagic
    Yes and no. I did say Watkins asked to be traded but that was because the Pegulas hired this backwards looking coach. Bringing back Tyrod was just so dumb on many levels. Hey star WRs want a QB and Buffalo refused to improve the position for year after year.

    You said, "Top 10 picks are still a gamble and completely scorching your roster will take years to redo." And we are in agreement there. No reason to blow up your roster when a prudent rebuild could be one year down and back to a better position next year. What I advocated was getting a top QB prospect in 2017 and getting rid of players that would not be there when the team was contending such as Wood and Williams. I thought the Bills were 2 great drafts away from being a legit team. But now the Bills are at least 3 great drafts from competing with the big boys. Will the new guys get that much time?

    Been saving Man in the High Castle Season 2 for fall. For some reason, I missed it when season 2 came out. Also completely ready for Stranger Things.

    Hey Tom, like to apologize for my Andy Reid post last night.You have been a civil poster and my post did not come off the way I wanted. My position is not for a complete rebuild, I was just giving an example of moves that would indicate a rebuild was taking place. My own position was a bit more nuanced.

    Tyrod Taylor, not resigned. Kyle Williams, not resigned Eric Wood traded, Groy starts Shady, trade him Hughes, trade him Gilmore franchised and sold for a pick No to picking up Ducasse, Holmes, and Dimarco This is closer to what I would expect a rebuild should look like I also would have picked up 5th year option on Watkins and seen if I could get more out of him. No point in selling low. Not given away picks to trade up to fill needs such as Zay and Dawkins

    I understand Ragland and Darby. I called for trading Ragland as soon as McD was hired because I knew he was no 4-3 mike in a McD defense where the linebacker needs to cover lots of ground. Darby also makes sense in that he did not play zone well enough. Many corners can do man or zone but not both. Luckily Tre White can do both. I also agree that there is no rebuild. It's a bit of both and it comes down to talent. This not acquiring talent and building a team instead sounds like the road Chip Kelly and Josh McDaniels took. Coaches need talented players and if they don't have them they will fail. Getting a 1st for Gaustad. But Darcy did not sell young players. He sold veterans nearing FA.

    I would love to be a fly on the wall in one of those meetings! And the data supports your statement. The Pegulas only gave their last 2 coaches 2 years or less. Darcy Regier sold them on a rebuild and started selling off pieces and was canned in the middle of it (even though he was doing a masterful job in selling assets and acquiring picks). Tim Murray only got 2 drafts with his people at the helm as he took over the last place team right before 2014 draft. I think that the team cannot look unprepared or sloppy. That was what the fans were sold with McD and if his teams do not at least compete effectively (even while taking losses) I suspect it could be 2 years instead of the normal 3 years that new coaches get in the NFL. The other thing I want to know is when did they decide to sell assets? When McD first got here every move looked like a push to the playoffs and even his draft looked like a short term filling needs affair.

    I heard it discussed on the Instigators as I was driving. And again, I noted it was speculation but it did seem like a reasonable guess as to where both parties started the negotiation. I mean if Eichel wanted only Drai money you think the deal would have been done a long time ago.
  12. jeffismagic
    You don't need an elite #1 D to compete and make the playoffs but it sure helps win a Cup. Very interested to see if Risto can continue to get better.
  13. jeffismagic
    The speculation is that Eichel's side wants near McDavid money and the Buffalo mgmt started with an offer around Draisatl. Hopefully, they can get this done before the year starts and meet somewhere in the middle.
  14. jeffismagic
    Don't forget the more than 8 million in dead cap for Tyrod as well.
  15. jeffismagic
    Let's say the Bills part way with Dareus. I get that he is not a model citizen and is a headache. But Buffalo would then have a bottom 2 roster in the NFL. Digging out of that and just getting back to .500 might be a task that McDermott and Beane never achieve here.
  16. jeffismagic
    Actually, I don't like that post. The reason is not because I attacked Tom but because I didn't match with a more conversational sentence. I also regret using the word "dude". When Tom is here I will apologize. And now I am done discussing personal issues anyone has with me. I don't want to be drawn further into unnecessary tangents.
  17. jeffismagic
    He said Andy Reid is no great QB coach and I disagreed. Disagreement is not a personal attack.
  18. jeffismagic
    Funny how personal attacks are this common here.
  19. jeffismagic
    Another bad prediction.
  20. jeffismagic
    Good point. Plus the Mahomes stuff isn't relevant. Done.
  21. jeffismagic
    I did not want Mittlestadt. But I also never watched his high school games. I scouted the NFL QB's so I am far more confident there.
  22. jeffismagic
    Whoa there. I was told over and over that Patrick Mahomes can't make throws from the pocket. Excuse me if I enjoy watching those clips. Why is that?
  23. jeffismagic
    Beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzyB3aXcW5k

    The fact that you don't understand how good with QB's Andy Reid is makes me smile. Sure dude, Dennison and Mcdermott are comparable.
