inkman Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm pretty psyched about this trade, actually. This myth about RBs being interchangeable is just as dumb as the myth that goalies are as well. The are only interchangeable when you don't have a good one.I think good RB and goalies are interchangeable but elite ones are rare. You can find 1000 yard rushers and 0.910 goalies anywhere. Getting the 2000 yard back or 0.920 goalie is rare. I agree. "Good" RBs are a dime a dozen. LeSean McCoy isn't just good, he's filthy. What he said.

CallawaySabres Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Until the Bills get a QB and Oline, this trade will continue to make no sense to me. Don't give me this Incognito garbage either. The Bills are still two GOOD guards and a mediocre QB away from sniffing the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â EJ's capable of being a mediocre QB this year. Â I think with the addition of McCoy, Incognito, and sexy Rexy we're definitely playoff contenders.

MattPie Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'd be dying to live in Buffalo if I was stuck in Philly. As much as it pains me to say it, Philly is a better city to do stuff in than Buffalo, other than drive. Traffic here sucks. All the excitment downtown in Buffalo these days about it's turning around? That's been going on here for years and there's a ton of it. I'd like to move back to Buffalo some day, but it'll be for family reasons and not the city itself. It hurts to say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I don't even mean the normal stigmas about Buffalo that we all know. What player is going to be thrilled to be traded to the franchise that has defined NFL futility and irrelevance for the last decade and half?  The team is on the rise--maybe even (I hope not) peaking. It was one game worse than the Eagles last year and it has made the two biggest offseason splashes so far. The only thing it's missing is a quarterback. I can't think it's the quality of the team that concerns him; maybe it's the small market.

Â I'm just personally less suited to city life, so Buffalo is more my speed. Â And I love the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 It really depends on how much they gave up for him -- although he has a $4.75MM cap hit, so it further reduces their ability to sign FAs this summer.  I wonder who's really calling the shots on these trades. I would imagine that neither of them would've occurred without Rex's approval.

deluca67 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 ...you have got to be kidding me. This is our answer? Jesus H. Christ.Why does he automatically have to be "our answer?" A team without a clear starter at QB is picking up a veteran with starting experience and had some success in the NFL. As far as the trade, if the headline was McCoy trade to AFC East 99% of the reactions without knowing the team who be "F'n Patriots!" This, IMO, is like the Kane trade. A level of a deal I would have not thought possible a year or two ago. This Bills just added the #3 rusher (yards) in the NFL to one of the League's best defenses. This is exciting stuff. The Bills should be applauded for this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Bills trade for Matt Cassel for an undisclosed pick  Good. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills sign a free agent QB as well (Locker perhaps) then part ways with EJ. There won't be anyone available who doesn't have flaws. We have to look for servicable QBs then run the ball 600+ times this season.

Signing locker, who's definitely a washout, and releasing EJ who's *probably* a washout is really dumb.  I like Matt Cassel because he comes from a loyal family.  Good Stark men.
