All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
1. pro Bowl RB's are much easier to find than pro bowl LB's. Granted, Kiko wasn't one yet it he's well on his way
2. $12 MILLION against the cap is far too much for ANY RB
3. RB is useless without a good OL And the cap hit for McCoy Significantly hampers our ability to get that done (not to mention the other holes).
Since when does spending a whole season on IR mean you're well on your way to being a pro bowl player? That makes no sense, you're reaching for reasons why this was a bad deal now

Did you watch Kiko play before the injury? Holy ****, the subjectivity is appalling. He's "the legend of Kiko" when he's a Bill and some injured bum on his way to nothing when he's not.
Ok fine- not his worst season. Still a decline in production and still reason for concern.
He came off a season that he led the NFL in yardage.
He didn't have anywhere to go but down.
Take a deep breath and re-read what you've been saying about this. You made a knee-jerk reaction and won't back off even when presented with facts and stuff.

And yet McCoy's decline is a huge cause of concern and Alonso's injury (his second to the same ACL) means nothing.
Do I have that right?
And, besides - he was a Bills draft pick
And the Bills have never made a good draft pick, amirite?

Appalling...Now you know how I feel. We just traded a guy off IR for a top 5 RB, and you're still crying and moaning about it. That's what is truly appalling
Anyone who argues that an OLB has more impact on a game/season than a pro bowl RB is a fool. The Bills have proven time and time again that they can find Defensive studs in the draft, and from other teams scrap heaps.
Yes RBs are a dime a dozen, but probowl, league leading all purpose RBs aren't.
Kiko is a question mark. Two ACL injuries to the same knee in 4 years and he faded over the second half of his rookie season (although that can be expected to happen). Sure he's cheap and has potential, but McCoy is a proven top RB, still young, and doesn't have a ton of mileage on him. The only real issue is salary, but they have the room and I expect they'll restructure his contract to lower his cap hit.
McCoy does have a lot of mileage as he is coming off of two consecutive 300+ carry seasons. Remember, Thurman Thomas was never the same after having his big season with 300+ carries. That said, 350+ carries in a season seems to be the real danger zone

Well, when Thurman had that 350 carry season, it was the last of the SB years and the team had made the playoffs 6 years in a row, playing deep the last 4 of them. That's a lot of carries. And he was 28 at the time. But yes, I wouldn't go over 350 carries. And I meant overall he doesn't have a lot of mileage.

This has nothing to do with draft picks.
And I never said Kiko's knee wasn't a concern. But a concern that counts $700k against the cap is much different than one that counts $12 million against the cap.

Anyone who argues that a stud RB is going to have an impact on a team with a shoddy OL and a QB who scares no one is a fool.

Free Agency and the draft still have to happen. I wish you'd become a fan of someone else for your own health. You are possibly the most negative person I have ever encountered.

Actually you did say his knee wasn't a concern
And it's not 12 million. 12 million was his hit in Philadelphia, which includes singing bonus
