Exactly

There isnt a qb in the league that compares more to cam newton than josh allen. Size and scrabbling abitlity. Even accuracy is a common fault.

I think the issue would be the qb room. There's a reason the Bill's have surrounded josh with : nate peterman,
derek Anderson, barkley and fraum. 0 threat of replacement.

Would the Bill's want a distraction, (,a qb controversy) if allen has a few bad games?

I think an issue in the qb room would be less of a distraction then the downside to bringing in kap

If the cap goes down significantly, what does that do to tre's contract? Do they punt? Wait until next year?

Football is about bonuses and garaunteed $

- Boss34

The Bills are set to have about 54- 60mill in space next year, if it drops they probably have just enough for White. But then Milano and Dawkins are in trouble. Might be better to get 1 of them signed this season.

what does Kap offer that Cam doesn't?


serious question

- homiedclown

He offers less skill and he is so much more fresh since he hasn’t played in three years.

I think signing kap would be a positive experience off the field.

Hard for me to think kap would be a better fit on the field

Newton played nfl ball last season. Kaps been out a while, and is older.

if people of color talked normal, stopped shooting each other every night and acted civil in times of crisis

still not sure what is wrong with this

- homiedclown


I can't believe anyone actually needs to go over this step by step, but I will just to show you how really very easy it is.

You have been answering for something you *actually* did. For four days. And already you're claiming to be a victim and that having to answer for that is "abuse."

Let's go over your racist post:

"If people of color talked normal ... " -
THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY people of color who *DO* "talk normal"

"If people of color ... stopped shooting each other every other night ... ."
THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY people of color who *DO NOT* shoot each other every other night

"If people of color ... acted civil in times of crisis ... "
THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY people of color who *DO* act civilly in times of crisis.

Your statement believes people behave in certain ways strictly and solely based on skin color, even though as an incontrovertible matter huge numbers of these people do not actually engage in that behavoir. This is the textbook defininition of racism. Your statement makes people of color defend that behavior, or themselves **even though it's clear they don't engage in it.**

In a short four days, you are offended and whiney about "abuse," and I'm only giving you poop for stuff you actually did - and stuff that to this day you say you don't think is wrong!!!

Imagine having to spend your entire life, every day, taking poop for stuff you never did, and stuff you aren't even trying to defend.

If the way I treated you for the last four days makes you feel like a victim, and feels like abuse - how do you think your entire lifetime of bullpoop ignorant statements make people of color feel?

Can you see it now???

I would wa t him and in fact targeted him specifically in my roster overhaul yesterday.
I had him as the 1RhD next to Dahlin for several years ...3 or so IIRC. ATOI was at 21 min I believe.
He would enable Dahlin to "Go" as needed and be a bigger part of the 5v5 Offense.

Dude there is no point. When someone spews racist BS like he has, and then considers themselves a victim. There is no changing their mind.

DeMelo is not a bad option, and probably wouldn't break the bank.

Easy to say but if he's going to be so good, why would Chicago trade him? Further, how much would it take to trade for him?

The data, presented in a relational perspective absolutely needs to be a part of the conversation.
Saying blanketly colored people...
As well as
Many, many
Both do absolutely nothing in terms of arriving at a concensus and creating a solution to the problem.
The conversation should also include relevant data about less violent crimes AND non-criminal activity like being pulled over by cops because of driving after sundown and/or on White Street

Much needs to be done

Looking at his very mediocre last season, Travis Hamonic struggled defensively last season, and overall, is a vanilla defenseman.

He's also going to be 30 this August 16th, and possibly 31 by the time the next season ends.

Hamonic's 2 most highly predicted next contracts per Evolving Hockey are 5 years @ $5.21M per (32% probability) and 3 years @ $3.985M per (24% probability).

I'd rather go after Dylan DeMelo as an RHD. He'll cost less, he is nearly 2 years younger (28 next May), and he's the better overall player based on last year, as he is quality at both ends of the ice.
