Star


Harbingers

Recommended Posts

It's funny because a handful of people here, like myself, said Star should have been kept. If you watch the film you'd see the opposing teams doubling and sometimes tripling him... That showed who they feared most. Yea KK got the stats, but he is just an average DT, without star eating all those blocks, he isn't poo.  What a bad decision and waste if money.

Star helped stuff one run and suddenly he's the not the guy Bills fans have been calling a bust all year

Ask any Bills fan, they regret signing him to that deal;  the Bills were 19th in stopping the run this year (but best at defending the pass)

Your logo is not a money manager. It buys defaulted debt and enforces it, he didn’t make money being smart, He made money being a loan shark.

If it It were that simple and straightforward, other people would have made 11 billion dollars from nothing as loan sharks yet somehow they didn’t. No matter what you say to try to discount the achievement, the guy was born into a middle class family and accumulated an 11 billion dollar fortune. The number of people who have done that is a short one indeed. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of firms that buy debt and attempt to enforce it. How many came you name with comparable success to Appaloosa?

That kind of smart may or may not translate into a successful football franchise, but to claim it does not require high intelligence is simply not a crediblestatement, sorry.

I’m not going to get into politics up here. But in short catch up on a little John Oliver. 

But that’s how he made 11 billion. It wasn’t money managing. It was loan sharking, investing the debt and reaping the reward. Then sharking the companies that forfeited. 

Any who let’s keep this to football, if you want to talk further I’ll see you down in the TB.

Word is no. I didn’t either but apparently lots of Bills fans less than thrilled about his play before today.

David Gettleman made that decision, not Hurney. 

He balled out vs the run.

DG was the GM in 2018?

That isn’t politics and I enjoy Oliver, but there is still a simple fact that remains: it is not a credible statement to assert that anyone who amassed such a fortune legally without starting from anywhere of note isn’t highly intelligent.

    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
