Dude, he’s good. He’s not elite. 14th in yards, 17th in TDs, average catch rate. Played the majority of the year where some guys missed time. It all depends on what he’s asking. If he’s asking for Cooper money, take a hike. Diggs money, we’re getting closer.

Yeah got that on my comp. multitasking.

Scrubs for my money is the best hospital show ever, and also the most realistic.

Sure, but if your getting fed that much, and barely breaking 1000 yards you are not elite. That’s all I’m saying. He was third in targets.

No but he had the third most targets last year. Third most. And like I said 1150ish yard’s, barely over 100

I would take Robinson over OBJ

However I wouldn't want either on the Bills this season

Diggs Brown and Beasley are not only some of the best in each role they also seem to have a very tight knitted receivers room where they are all on the same page.

If what we have seen this in this short time with Diggs there isn't a drama queen prima-donna in that room and they have all bought into the culture. I wouldn't want to mess that up in the slightest

That Gabe Davis looks pretty alright as well.

They don’t need another WR imo.

Yeah a lot of wrs have to do that with good QBs. It’s not like he made 96 circus catches, he had some that hit him on the run in the chest. Everything isn’t all or nothing, you know that right?

Davis is going to be a Robert Woods type receiver IMO he's just a little bigger

He won't be a number one by any means but he will be a very productive #2 eventually

Saw him a lot since I live in Orlando now and UCF is king down here

I don’t disagree but in a salary cap world you can’t spend all that money on WR’s.

Diggs is going to want a new deal this offseason, Brown and Beasley are getting paid.

Maybe next offseason they make a move for another wideout but not right now.

I think it's telling when a well respected front office guy has a meeting with them, and after 20 minutes wants nothing to do with them


and he lives literally around the corner from the arena

Maybe he'd rather spend the winters of his twilight years in South Florida? I know I would if I had the choice.

if you look at how poised he is now, vs the end of his first season, night and day

I think he is the "it" factor needed to be a true leader

does not make him an all pro qb, but a true leader that will rally his teammates

They redid Diggs’ deal shortly after they traded for him so no new deal there. Brown and Beasley both have term on their contracts after this year (2 years each?) so nothing to do there. I imagine Beane’s plan is for Davis and Hodgins to take over for Brown and Beasley after their contracts run out. Just as Espenesa takes over for Murphy after this year. Beane always has a plan

Kyle Stich from afpanalytics.com has a interesting take on what he thinks the Sabres should do. Looks to be a pretty good lineup.
- Buff36


Warning that this is very long, but also a worthy read.

https://afpanalytics.com/...ffalo-sabres-2020-roster/

Highlights are the 2 trade ideas below.

Trade: Buffalo acquires Vince Dunn for Jake McCabe, Ryan Johnson, and Rasmus Asplund

Trade: Buffalo acquires Nikolaj Ehlers, 2020 10th overall in exchange for Rasmus Ristolainen, Casey Mittelstadt, Marcus Davidsson, 2020 8th overall, 2020 4th round pick

I’ve never been less optimistic about an offseason in my life.

Botterill wasn’t good, but at least he would’ve been trying to save his job and actually trying to do something (we can debate this point, but I believe that would’ve been the case)

I have 0 faith any impact player is coming. And I’m pretty positive the worst impact player who plays insane minutes is staying.

If the adds are Erik Haula and someone like Blake Comeau, I’m absolutely checked out before it begins and I’ll get interested once Eichel is dealt

That’s a lot for Ehlers
Although i like him a lot, he’s a LW
Can he or Skinner play RW?
Or we moving Olofsson to LW3?
