Re: I like the trades a lot!

Are you serious, the Patriots have been trading good players for years, heck as soon as contract talk start looking like they are going to stall they trade them!

How many Super Bowls have they won? This is a business for FO's, fans are emotional , teams and players aren't.

I still can't believe they traded Collins to the Browns for a conditional 3rd.

Best take I've seen

Worst take I've seen.

Beane said the calls came when they came. The Rams and the Eagles only recently "got serious." Neither one of those players were elite (like McCoy).

And you'll be singing a different tune if the Bills have a franchise QB next year. (Granted that's an "if.")

Is that a bad thing or a good thing?

We traded a talented glass foot for a draft upgrade.

There isn't anyone here who thought the risk of another Watkins injury would tank this team.

This trade made long term sense, with little short term loss, and gambled for short term gain.

THE. BEST. THING. EVER.

The Bills haven't drafted a good QB in 30 years.

Is Sam Darnold a franchise QB? or the next Andy Dalton? No one in the world has this College to NFL QB thing figured out. We take good QBs, and turn them into headcases. Way too much pressure. No support. No momentum. It will take a miracle. Oh, and he'll have EVEN LESS WEAPONS around him.

If you're going to tank, tank.

If you're going to change the culture, don't contradict yourself 3 weeks before the season.

Classic drought Bills - inconsistent communications, fluctuating hierarchy, overpay for talent, sell low, finish middle, repeat, marketing > integrity.

Now they're firmly positioned for 6-10, too good to suck, not enough fire power to make it over the edge.

Kansas City and Denver have never drafted a good quarterback. Ever.

Re: I like the trades a lot!

Pretty much everyone that watched his play last season.

Like Dareus, Hughes and the rest of the defense that stunk under Ryan, but excelled under Schwartz?

Try again.

Because that was the coaches, not the player.

I'll see you that parroted fact and raise you to remember what the Giants pulled to get Eli. They went to 2 Super Bowls because they did that.

You continually miss my points.

Darby didn't play under anybody except Wrecks, he never played for Schwartz.

What does that have to do with anything?

Eli Manning held out for a trade to NYG, because he thought San Diego was a joke franchise. Sound familiar?

Wouldn't that be the most Buffalo **** ever?

To finally have the assets to draft a consensus franchise QB, only to have him demand a trade to a established franchise?

That **** is going to hurt!

Personally I think Josh Allen is a better prospect, but we'll see how this season plays out.

Re: I like the trades a lot!

Oh let's not forget that both guys are on the last year of their contracts. So, if they are fits, we will need to find a way to pay them. If they aren't, we will need to replace them.

Any way you cut it, Watkins will be getting paid more than Matthews so it's a better opportunity for us if he's a fit this season.
