Wow. Dareus as a rookie is not better than Langford or Stark. He may get there but not this year. Kyle Williams is marginal against the run. The Bills may have the worst LB core in football. Merriman? The only way he's got his skills back is if he's juiced. Their OL is worse than the Dolphins, and that's saying a lot. Fitzpatrick to Johnson is a nice combination but who else does Buffalo have that compares to the Dolphin's receiving corp. Fitzpatrick is only slightly better than Henne 2010 but who knows 2011. Jackson is a descent RB. Florence is not better than Sean Smith (not according to Profootball focus, anyway). The Dolphins will not lose two to Buffalo. Although Buffalo has improved in some areas, they're still not as talented as Miami. DolphinISS, you must be a closet Buffalo fan. Go ahead. It's OK. There is no stigma for coming out of the closet now-a-days.
Fair points and I can't argue too much. Dareus has looked like a monster in preseason but it is still the preseason. But I think Nick Barnett and Kirk Morrison is an upgrade over Paul Poz in the middle. In his one game in the preseason, Merriman had 2 sacks in one quarter. The Bills lost 3 OT games to playoff teams. I don't think it's a stretch to say that if they improve the 5th worst defense in the NFL to medicore, they will win more games.
And what does talented even mean? Fact is Brandon Marshall is "more talented" than Stevie Johnson, yet Johnson outproduced him. Fitz is less talented than Henne, yet he outproduced Chad. Fred Jackson played D3 and wasn't drafted, yet he is a far superior rb to former #2 overall pick Bush. to quote your from GM, "Potential just means you haven't done crap."
