More Lamar will regress stuff

Bad bet.

Bad bet.

Not including short yardage is also pretty misleading, considering leading receivers into YAC is a huge part of the game, and it was almost as much of a problem for Allen as his deep ball.

I think Bruce Smith is a top 2 defensive player all time and I'm old enough to remember all of Reggie White's career. Does anyone agree with me?

I think smith was better than white. White
played as a LE in a 40 front. Smith was a 30 front DE, and double teamed every play.

 

[brian_griffin]

White was clearly a better leader, but the Bills D of that era had multiple leaders.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Welp.

 

[TalkingProuder]

Welp.

Bills still have no excuse. Josh Allen was a top ten pick and Cam Newton is a veteran minimum signing.

Bills still have no excuse. Josh Allen was a recent top ten pick and Cam Newton is a veteran minimum signing.

 

[Mike McDermott]

Welp.

I’m not surprised at all that, that is where he landed.

Vegas immediately makes the Pats AFC East favorites again.

Vegas immediately makes the Pats AFC East favorites again.

Newton’s vet min contract is twofold:
1. Injury history.
2. Pats have the leverage to offer the best opportunity.

Vegas sets odds to Pats to draw more money bets.

We should not be surprised.

Bills still have no excuse. Josh Allen was a top ten pick and Cam Newton is a veteran minimum signing.

I'm sure they discussed the possibility. It probably came down to a discussion on the impacts of having Newton on the team. And I don't disagree with the choice.

Vegas and book strategy aside, this is objectively bad news for the Bills' AFCE hopes. About time, I say. All I really had to worry about was CoVid canceling the season, now I can focus on the nightmare of the season happening and a healthy Cam Newton gelling with Belicheck

I'm so ready for football now. Its on!

Cam is past his prime for sure

 

[kirby11]

Well, winning the division will be a lot tougher now. Still, I think it's reasonable to wonder:

1. Can Cam adapt to a quick hitter type offense that prioritizes high levels of accuracy? And the Pats' weapons aren't all that great outside of Edelman and White. Maybe N'Keal Harry makes a jump, too.

2. Can Cam hold up physically if he's used prominently in the run game like his earlier years in Carolina?

 

[whiplash]

Cam is past his prime for sure

I agree. But if anyone was going to coax a last gasp out of him, it would be BB and his merry band of Massholes.

Anyway, he'll probably get hurt in an inexplicably played pre-season, and it won't matter. I don't think the nightmare becomes a reality, but it would be very on-brand for the last 20 years of football, and 2020 in general.

Belichick is far smarter than McDermott. He's not going to make Cam run a Brady style offense. He's going to adopt the offense to take advantage of Cam.

 

[Waterfowlist]

Can’t believe folks are worried about the guy who lost to EJ Manuel during his prime (a season cam went 12-4). He was also one drop by Zay Jones away from losing to TT.

Even with a 12-4 a 15-1 season on his record (both more than 5 years ago), the man is a career .500 QB and has lost his last 8 starts.

Don’t be surprised if he is the backup. The hype train is funny though. Can wait for the bills defense to feast on Cam.

if Josh progresses in year 3, I agree with Schein that the bills still win the division by a few games.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

I am not worried whatsoever about $cam Newton going to the Pats. Newton is 31, very injury prone and is simply a QB in the 15-20 range at best. Josh Allen is better then Newton ainec.


I cannot wait for the first Pats-Bills game when Tre Edmunds will crush Newton on a strip sack and we see either Tre,Levi or Norman scoop it and take it in for 6.

This is the most loaded Bills team since the SB era.


Franchise QB? Check
Elite #1 WR? Check
High End #2 WR who would be a #1 on several teams? Check
Reliable High end #3 slot WR? Check
2 tough, powerful RBs who can combine for 120 yards a game? Check

Borderline elite DL? Check
All-Pro Caliber MLB? Check
Superstar CB? Check
Top 2-3 Safety Duo in the league? Check

The OL is at worst average to above average. The LBs to go with Edmunds are high quality. The TEs, while not elite, between Knox and Sweeney and possibly Kroft are more then capable.

The CBs after White are arguably the biggest question mark on D but between Wallace, Norman, Johnson and Gaines I think they will end up being a top 5-10 unit.


The only true weaknesses on the team are at P and K, and with us drafting a K who will likely win the job I am confident there. I also think we will bring in a replacement for Bojorquez this off season too. Drafting Fromm was also a boon for us as I think he is miles ahead of Barkley if Allen ends up missing time. Maybe not this year but by 2021 I think Fromm can develop into a high end backup. He could be our Rob Johnson/Jimmy G/Jacoby Brissett, a backup QB who shows flashes of being a viable starter who can return a real nice trade package.


Even if there isn't a single fan inside the stadium for games, this Bills squad is still the team to beat.


And speaking of our elite MLB, it is crazy that he is entering his 3rd season, 2 100+ tackle campaigns under his belt and is still younger then 9 of the 32 1st round picks this past draft. And of the 23 younger then him, half of them are younger by mere months. Edmunds has Wall of Fame written all over him, and if things go right for us maybe an actual Hall of Fame. He did something no one has done before, 2 100+ tackle seasons by the age of 21.

Newton could be scary playing for the Pats/BB - but at this point I think his health is by far the biggest question mark.

Healthy Cam is the best QB in the division..to go with the best Head Coach. The people who put money on the Bills winning the division are in big trouble.

Exactly right - but what are the chances of him being healthy?

He looks done.

He looked fine other than his shoulder was off a year ago. He's had a year plus to get that right.
