A good 3 down LBer that never leaves the field especially since the 5th year option is gonna end up being $12 million for 1 year. It’s not blind hate. I really like Matt Milano and I’ll generally praise Beane’s work, but Edmunds is super mediocre to below average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His age and Physical traits give him an amazing ceiling. He became the defense captain as a rookie, and has been calling the defensive calls since. While he isn't Elite, he has still been good. He still has room for plenty of growth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well his peers and coaches doesn’t think he’s mediocre hence why he was selected to two pro bowls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy the upside argument. To date tho he hasn’t been worth the pick and unless he becomes much better that 5th year option makes me smile as a Jets fan. I also think Beane is too smart to pay Edmunds $12 million to prove himself. 3 minutes ago, Bufflegend26 said: Well his peers and coaches doesn’t think he’s mediocre hence why he was selected to two pro bowls . Coaches and peers kept Quinnen Williams out of the pro bowl and voted Jamal Adams a top 30 player in the league. Spare me the pro bowl narrative. 4 tackles for loss in a whole season got Tremaine Edmunds into the Pro Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there is something to be said about that. Or maybe he doesn't know that 2/3rd of the Pro-Bowl vote comes from NFL Coaches and Players (not fans).

jeremy2020 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 If the Bills have any sustained success, their fans are going to be worse than Pats fans... is that where you want to go Bills fans because you're well on the way. You don't have to be defensive anytime anyone says anything that isn't glowingly positive about your team. Just go enjoy having a good team.

The only player I see as a clear upgrade is Jaire Alexander. DJ Moore and Ridley are debatable. Edmunds has been better than both LBs (Vander Esch and Rashan Evans) We already have good safeties, so Derwin James wasn't needed. We didn't need Frank Ragnow because we already had Mitch Morse. We didn't need Isiah Wynn because we already had Dion Dawkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t sign Morse til the next year but having Ragnow would’ve been better than having to sign Quinton Spain and Mitch Morse the next offseason. Both Wynn and Ragnow would’ve negated the need for the Cody Ford pick. Ridley and Moore would’ve been better picks I don’t know what was offered but a trade back would’ve a nice move there especially if you could’ve gotten Darius Leonard. Actually, taking a league average LBer after taking Josh Allen was a bad move by your GM. Luckily, he’s good at not compounding mistakes and fixed it by spending on Spain, Morse, and Williams.

You are right about the timeline with Morse, I don't know how I forgot that. Either way I still think Edmunds vs Ragnow/Wynn is debatable. Wynn is consistently hurt also. That being said, I just disagree with your overall assessment of Edmunds. Football isn't only played on one side of the ball. The defense took a lot of pressure off Allen during his first couple years, which gave him time to develop. Instead of having to play hero-ball every week, Allen learned how to play winning football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends who are Bills fans are openly anti-Edmunds and there’s plenty of articles about Edmunds performances from Bills fans sites. Probably just a vocal minority that I assumed represented the majority opinion. I amend my statement and accept that most Bills fans are homers that like Edmunds against the evidence that Edmunds isn’t very good while having rare physical traits.

Well it seems like your friends are in the minority. You do know he played with a separated shoulder and he was missing his 1 Tec dl? Now I’m not saying he’s elite but he definitely doesn’t suck we can do alot worse with tremaine if your a true bills fans then you remember the days of the Keith Ellison’s of the world and Marcus bugs they sucked. Tremaine underwhelmed this year but to say he sucked his nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
