bills might have the 2 best wr's in the division now
- homiedclown


Don't sleep on MIA WR's. Parker finally turned the corner, and Preston Williams is legit. If he hadn't torn his ACL, they woulda had statistically two top 20 WRs.

Without taking injuries or offensive coaching into account.

I love the trade. Maybe just a tad shorter than I was expecting. Brown, Beasley, Singletary under 6 feet.

Knox is gonna break thru this season.
Wonder if the Bill's are thinking about Witten as a mentor?

Never said he wasn't (in fact said exactly the same thing, mid wr 1, so 11-20). Was disputing a top 5 wr, which he is 100% not. And yes, I understand his value for a contract might be better. But Cooper is the superior player. And it's not a question.
- SDSabre


It is though, and I love Cupp.

Diggs more yards than Cupp last 3 years.

Diggs has the best contested catch rate in the entire NFL.

Diggs with the higher YPC
Diggs with more YAC
Diggs more TDs

But Cupp is better, why?

Today, name 5 better route runners. No, name 2
- TheSabresTaco


Someone did it for me. But you didn't say route runners. And route runners aren't the only thing that make a good WR. I've watched prolly double if not triple the amount of Vikings games then most here. Saying he's not a top 5 WR is not a dig (no pun). He's just not. Top 11-20 is still a solid ranking and actually where he is.

I mean, as a statistics guy I love using more data. But there also has to be a caveat. When he moved to Dal, I think all of those change. And like I said, I watch double if not triple the amount of Diggs then most of you due to it's always the local game here (and I'm too cheap for Sunday Ticket).

Reinhart jersey check
Kupp jersey check


Seriously, kupp over Diggs is far from %100.
Closer to %100 going the other way

- Boss34


Haha ok.
A) Not a Bills fan.
B) If you had read what I said, you would see I said some were 100% in fact better, others would be an argument/debate. So you pick one person to fight over, kinda proved my point.
C) Kupp had better stats last year, and was on pace the year before when he got injured.
D) Calling Diggs a top 5 wr (not value, just talent) is a bad take. It's not greener on the other side, he's just 11-20 wr. Don't know why that's such a big deal. Still really good and makes the Bills better.

Too WR in football in contested catch %, so I guess top 5 depends on how you’re looking at it

Route running, contested catch, production, blocking, all make a wr. The dude has 2 seasons over 1000 yards, so I don't think saying he's not top 5 is incredibly outlandish. He's a good player, ranked anywhere from 11-20 so still a wr1. Don't know why that's bad. I think there might be a little bit of a new toy syndrome here.

Stefon Diggs' 2019 #ReceptionPerception success rate vs. coverage scores:

vs. man: 76.5%
vs. zone: 84.3%
vs. press: 79.1% (career best)

He's now finished above the 93rd percentile against man coverage for three-straight years. He is the best route runner in the NFL.

This guy has no need to pump up Diggs. He's from LA, not Minnesota or Buffalo, so just an outside, unbiased report on Diggs.

Can Beane multitask, I like the trade, and still have 1 5th and 2 6th to pull a bigger WR that could help Parker, Hill could be late rnd gems

Its hockeybuzz, your post can be 99% right and someone picks the 1%.

Kupp is injury prone and playing in a strong offensive system

Anyone see what picks were traded yet? Not sure if they are our picks or the Browns/ Pats? Also, having Shaq leave, we should be getting an extra 4th to replace the one we traded next year.

They both suck.

Witten would be a great mentor/ player/ coach.

Kinda like Lee Smith. But can still catch a football.

Glad Beane wasnt going to count on a 1st round pick to fill the team's biggest hole next year

Take notes, JB

i was wondering that, but wasn't sure how Comp picks worked if you decline 5th year option.

Who's complaining? Twitter?

You know who's not complaining? The Cards. Because they gave up nothing. Bill O'Brien is (frank)ing drunk at the wheel driving the Speed bus.

What's great about a generally even trade (I give the nod to the Vikes) is that you'll have haters from both sides.

Remember all the good riddance posts from the God trade?

I for one, love it.

-Stefon Diggs makes 8M less than Amari Cooper.
-He is 26 years old.
-He is clearly one of the top 5 receivers in the game.
-You gave up a late first ((draft pick, at best (AT BEST) turns into Diggs)), Russel Bodine and Wyatt Teller, and a 4th, for an ELITE receiver.
-Brandon Beane continues to hang dong like a boss.
