There's just nothing he can show me in practices and preseason that will matter because accuracy was only one of his issues. Decision making and game processing were arguably bigger (though less talked about) problems, and those can't be assessed until he gets some regular season action. Obviously, I'd rather he look good than bad, but we're aways away from him being in a spot to really disprove his critics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) 6 hours ago, That Aud Smell said: Do teams ever trade NFL QBs for value in-season at the deadline? I can't recall that happening. Yes. It happened twice last season. Once for Jimmy G to the 49ers and once for McCarron to the Browns (but the Browns failed to fax the paperwork to the league on time at the deadline). Carson Palmer went to Oakland in the middle of the season. Edited August 2, 2018 by Hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be amazing if McCarron became a trade asset — I don’t think I see it, though, given the scheme and talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They moved the deadline back which has caused way more action recently. Heck, that’s how we got KB13 and Dareus ended up in Jacksonville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I may not believe in Allen but boy do I believe in Edmunds... mother of god he isn't human. Remember how we didn't know how to cover Gronk for the last 5 years? Now we can just put Edmunds on him. In 2 years, this kid will be an All Star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An assault investigation was one. In fairness, I don't remember the details and don't have the motivation to try and track it down either. I think he article showed up on my twitter feed and I'm not chasing that rabbit. I do recall thinking as I was reading that this didn't seem like a Coach Process kind of player. Just read Wawroww's article from today. A team curfew violation that resulted in him being sent home last season was another. I'd think that would rate pretty low with team management these days.

I know it's a bit of apples and oranges - but it looks like Reinhart survived that sort of problem. The Yards Per Pass twitter guy says that Coleman really looks/plays like a bigger, somewhat slower version of Flash Goodwin. I say: Yes, please.

IKnowPhysics Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Should be noted that we only spent a 2020 7th round pick for Coleman. If he's one of our best three receivers, he's already worth that and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers last year weren't pathetic. Nothing you'd want on a fantasy team, but not too bad for a #3(or #2 if you're the bills) Edited August 7, 2018 by ubkev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 His numbers last year deserve way more credit than “weren’t pathetic.” They were nearly number one numbers. He fell just short of 1,000 yards and was their best target all year. He only got better when Jimmy G came in which is a very good sign for them.
