Why Marty Hurney may have fleeced the Bills twice in one season.

While we have gone over about every angle of the trade and how it will work and want here is why Hurney got the better end. While Cam Newton is not having a great year people forget how he makes WRs better. Philly, Ginn, KB, and even Bersin. It's why Marty was able to trade Clay and get something for him and then completely disappear once on the Bills. KB is definitely not different and Cam even spent extra time working with him. Don't be surprised if KB disappears once again in Buffalo. 

The second reason it was a smart trade is KB has never recovered from his ACL. His rookie season he could blow past WRs on the Jam and make big plays. That all ended after his injury. 

So to conclude buffalo might have got less than what they paid for because clearly looking at it KB is a shell of what he was his Rookie year.

I think KB is a good receiver,  just not a transcendent one. I'm not going to keep crying over a receiver that's not transcendent. 

On an off note---just a little food for thought---don't completely sleep on KC (and I 'm not talking Kansas City). 

Leave one eye open.

Honestly, I'm over it.

This team and their drama has been exhausting this year. I'm just going to tune in on Sunday and see how it goes. 

My fiancé was feeling bad about me missing one of the few games I could watch this year on Sunday because we are going wedding venue shopping instead. And I honestly could care less about this game if not for it being Atlanta I wouldn’t care at all.

im so over the drama and Cam being a man child that I don’t even care anymore and we have a winning season at the moment. I just feel like here is way too much drama  for this team to reach it’s potential as it currently stands. And I honestly think we have a championship level defense this year and that makes me very sad.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
