he was good enough to deserve a starting gig somewhere (not here).

he wanted to start and deserved more money than we could afford and more opportunities to start than we could provide.

glad he got what he wanted/deserved.

just watch out for him in training camp. he gets in at least one fight every year.

Im pretty sure he did get into one this year. He seems tough unlike the past fatass Buffalo o-lineman like dockery, walker, fowler, and preston.

I never heard of him before this season and was worried he was another tutan reyes.

Another good use of that 17 million. We could have used the extra picks as well.
ugh....peppers contract had nothing to do with him staying. he wanted a starting job somewhere and that wasn't going to happen here.

peppers deal messed up a lot of stuff but that one was going to happen one way or another.

Nah thats one position I think our new OC does a good job developing. Unlike QB.

I meant we could have used it on our oline depth. And he probably would have stayed if we matched the Bills' offer.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
