2012
Homer Arguments: Levitre
- Levitre isn't worth $$$, our line is very good and will be fine.
- Guards aren't worth that much
- Tennessee overpaid
- We can replace him in the draft or FA
- Give is FO a chance, they are pros and know what they are doing.
- Can't afford him
- Saving money for Byrd
Realists Arguments: Levitre
- Line will suffer
- Bills have enough money to sign both Players
- Pro Bowl G dont grow on trees, replacing him be difficult
- Why give new FO benefit of doubt? They haven't proved anything.
2013 Conclusion
Loosing Levitre did make a difference and the line did suffer as it went from a unit of strength in 2012 to a unit of weakness in 2013
Homer Arguments: On Talent, Winning, EJ, AFCE, & More
- Bills are a talented team that is one QB and Coach away from Playoffs
- EJ is the right guy, Bills should compete maybe even make the playoffs
- EJ will help Bills win
- Bills are in weak division and can potentially win division
- BILLS Will be BETTER in 2013 than 2012
- Pats are done, they have no WR, TE, and Brady will decline
- Dols will suck Balls, all they did as spend money and none of their FAs will pan out
- Jets are imploding, expect them to win 2-4 games,
- Jets are done, Rex deserves to get fired
- Jets suck, Dols overspent, and Pats are not what they were, expect Bills to win in the Div and potentially win Div
- Bills will find a way to overcome their weaknesses and build on their strenghts
Realists:
- Rookie QBs and Coaches rarely win in 1st season
- Rookie QBs tend to struggle, expect a loosing season
- EJ is not a top QB prospect, worst time to draft a QB
- Dols improved talent might show up on the field
- Pats find a way to make due with what they have
- Pats still class of AFCE, will win Div
- Pats not done, yet
- Pats will overcome weaknesses and build on strenghts
- No reason to believe Bills new FO will be better than 20/20 hindsight or better than other FO
Conclusion:
- Pats found a way to overcome WR/TE problem, win the Division, and go to their 3rd straight AFC Championship Game
- Rex found a way to ride the Jets to 2nd place in the Division with an 8-8 record (albeit with less talent and a worst QB than the Bills according to our homers)
- Dolphins found a way to loose out on a sure fire playoff spot towards the end of the season....
- Bills had their patented 6-10 season, just enough to make you question their destiny and in the process finished dead last in a weak AFCE division.
- EJ did struggle, and was not even named to rookie team, an honor bestowed upon Mike Glennon -a third round pic.
---> 2014 Homer Arguments: Byrd, EJ, & More <-----
Byrd
He is over valued player who luckily got 33 To and has no business being one of top paid FS
FS is not an important NFL position
We can replace him in the draft
We can not afford him
He is not that good
He is another greedy player
He sucks
Its the scheme that got him all those INT's
He is nowhere as good at Troy P, or Reed, etc...
He doesn't deserve to be top paid FS
Bills cant afford him, need to save money so to spend on another player
Loosing him wont impact defense much
Can replace him in draft
EJ
He was a rookie
He played well, very well considering he was a rookie
He needs weapons, we need to get him a better line, better WR, better TE,
Its not his fault he struggled, in fact he didn't really struggle he played well just look at the Panther game
He's going to improve big time in year 2
Of course we lost in 2012, he was just a rookie, what do you expect.
EJ's rookie season was almost the same as Cam's rookie season, just look at their stats
The Team
We will be better next year after 1 full off season for EJ.
Of course we will improve, last year was a fluke because we had a rookie coach and rookie QB
All of our players will become much better with a complete off season under this coaching regime
We will improve in the draft
We might get a few good players in FA
Dols suck and we will better, Jets are no good and Geno is bad, Pats are getting old, we can take the division
EJ is going to be a good QB
REALISTS:
- Loosing Byrd will make a difference and he will not be easy to replace
- EJ has fundamental issues to his game, such as accuracy, which will hinder his ceiling
- Great players make players around them better, players like Manning, Favre, and Brady don't need a great Oline, Great WR, Great TE, Great RB to be successful. Instead they elevate those players and position to greatness.
- If Bills dont want to spend money on Byrd, Levitre, Peters, Pat, Clements, Winfield, etc.. why and how would they spend money on getting a great oline, te, wr, for EJ?
- All of our players will NOT improve, many may get worst, other teams will also improve and get worst, and it will be a wash
- Everyone gets to draft so everyone has chance to improve
- EJ has been one of the worst first round picks to come out this century, his rookie season is no where as good as Cam's
Just an observation but it seems like the context and the arguments are the SAME, just the content has changed a bit. Instead of Lossman being he future its EJ, instead of Peters being a greedy bafoon its Byrd, and so on.
