    Robert was a top notch prosect coming out of HS

     

    His collegiate tape and last year left alot to he desired

     

    I didn't have a top 30 grade on him

     

    Trent Edwards was at one time ranked #1 in the nation in high school, as a qb. Projections do not guarantee anything. So many things can happen for athletes between high school and through university, and from the jump from university to pros. Competition, attitudes, supporting casts, systems, and pressures can make or break persons. Injuries, changes in priorities, and being rewarded with lots of money also can ruin drives and careers. It”s often survival of the fittest, having good luck at times, and proper mentors or coaching on your side too, and wanting to persevere and not give up when things get tough. These players must continue to work hard and be self-motivated when they get to the next levels, and want to fight daily to be the best, as talent and size only goes so far. At higher levels,  nobody will be handing out silver spoons or I’m the biggest, strongest and fasted awards. That slow, short, skinny little turtle kid beneath you in high school that you beat up playing wiffle ball and soft ball can suddenly become a super athletic ninja because of his attitude and smarts were in the right places. Athletes that succeed for long duration know these are not races but battles that must be sustained and won over time, with battles not just on the field and in the weight room, but occurring too in their own mind. It does not matter if one is quiet, outgoing, narcissistic, empathetic, short, tall, heavy or light, one can succeed if they daily strive to be their absolute best. This requires internal strength, self-motivation, and an admittance of wrongs and a desire to listen and learn something important, for each and every moment, on each and every day..

    Belichek isn’t throwing those clutch passes on the field. There’s only so much a coach can do, the players have to execute and he has arguably the greatest of all time at the most important position on the field. Some will point to Belichek’s 13-6 record without Brady and I’d say that sort of success wouldn’t be sustainable. I’d use his record as head coach prior to Brady taking the field to support my argument.

     

    Agree. BB Wins 41 Lose 55, prior to Boy Wonder..If BB is a football wizard, he could have worked his magic when coaching the Browns those 5/6 years they failed under him there. And the 1st year he coached Patriots, he failed as a coach there. It isn’t coincidence that he started succeeding regularly when Tommy Boy became starter. This does not mean I think BB is a bad coach, but just not as great as everyone thinks. Yes, he has more control now with the Pats, than with the Browns, and thus perhaps better players for his system, but they say BB can get the most out of average Joes. Well, he as coach did not prior to Brady.

  3. Here is my concern: Metcalf likely does finger, palm and knuckle pushups too. His hands likely may be too bulgy, such that Allen's thrown darts would bounce off those hard. rippled hands. On the orher hand, Jerry Rice seemed thin as a skeleton and used to catch bricks, to put his hands in shape. Not sure if the other way around, soft ball, in muscular  hands work.

    As soon as I heard that he trained to become a QB by throwing rocks into a barrel on his family farm - I was in. 

     

     

    As soon as I knew his family had a barn so his errant passes could hit that, that sold me. 

     

    Really though, prior to the draft I first wanted mayfield, then convinced myself on rosen, then allen when I guessed the Bills wanted him, or when I knew he would likely be available to the Bills.. I trust the process. I rather have Allen than Mayfield now. I do not like Mayfield's ego. Prefer the more coachable, likeable and down to earth player. I think Allen has far more potential to be really great than the others.

    My doctor said I'm definitely on the spectrum. 

     

    Not sure what he meant. 

     

    I think lots of the optimism we are seeing here is also because of his work ethic, smarts, attitude, leadership skills, and personality. That lessens any of the few concerns, and gives us more hope and willingness to be more patient. I mean, it is hard not to like him for those other untangibles. So, when you see his huge arm strength, elusiveness and running ability, the fun rarely  seen before superman plays, and when we see some progress, one would have to be a real dope or biased to not have some optimism.

     

    I replied to this post as our two sons relate. It means you likely are gifted in some wonderful way.

    Mercifully I live in Rochester so I only listen to Schopp during post game on WCMF (I mean could still listen to him in other ways but I don't hate myself enough to do that).  I honestly believe that a) he really is not that big of a fan of the Bills and b) he genuinely hates his job.  The utter disdain and contempt that he seems to have with seemingly EVERY caller is insane.

     

    a. True, many many years ago he said he hated football and was not a fan, and liked other sports instead. His hatred of foofball shows by his idiotic comments, poor analysis, and his desire to talk about himself and other garbage instead. 

     

    b. Partially true. He hates his job when he has to talk to all of his perceived idiotic callers, and when he has to talk football stuff. He seems to only love the part of the job where he is talking to himself, and trying to show how brillant he is and how dumb listeneres are.

    I believe some of you have been using secret code words, acronyms and emojis to express an idea and it makes sense. 

     

    But it we should have a thread that categorizes those acronyms and codes for others to reference as a learning tool. 

     

    So, instead of writing out a long winded paragraph expressing your thoughts, use a short “code word” or acronym to save time. 

     

    Feel free to add any others that I missed or might be helpful. 

     

    “Acronyms”

    MISBN. = Moderator in Shoutbox, be nice. 

    MMA = Moderator Moderating Argument

    OPOC = Original Poster on Crusade

    KBS = Kelvin Benjamin Sucks

    KBIFS = Kelvin Benjamin is Freaking Slow

    KBWTBAL = Kelvin Benjamin Wants to be a Leader

    TAGBFF = Tyrod and Gugny Best Friends Forever

    IHTTUWW = I Hate This Team Unless We Win

    GNOC = Get Naked on Camera (added this one since @TheRealBuffaloJoe uses it a lot)

    TDTRPOAGS = The Drum Team Really Puts on a Great Show

    MSBIBU = Mahomes Should Be in Bills Uniform

    WDWPOT = Why Did We Pass on Trubisky

    IMP = I Miss Peterman

     

    Feel free to add others I missed. 

     

     

    IMP's trick shots, as this year all of KBS threads are boring me. Yes, many think KBIFS, but KPWTBAL, so give it time please. I do not agree with those who say IHTTUWW. TTP (Trust the Process) please. Let's enjoy TT. No, not CL (crazy legs) Tyrod Taylor,  but TT (Tool Time) JJ (Jumping Josh) Allen. Yes, TAGBFF, and yes MSBIBU and WDOT, but JJ TT Allen is our savior mow. Let er rip please. No CD (check down) charlies all day BD (Brian Daboll) , ok?

    One thing Peterman did, he brought out the ****heads in TBD. I never understood the hatred against him. It's just a game. There are a few posters I would never want to meet, just because of the vile hatred they displayed against someone they don't even know! 

     

    Now you know why I dislike elitist red elephants and entitled blue donkeys.

    This year is a bust. I would get Foles via FA next year and let Allen learn behind him for however long it takes. Rogers sat behind Favre for several years before starting and it worked great. BTW NOT saying Foles is as good as Farve but he’s a hell of a lot better than any other veteran QB who will be available. Get a decent WR via FA and find another in the draft. Draft the best lineman available with our first pick and try to find a decent vet as well. Obviously need to fill some other holes as well but that’s how I would start as GM. 

     

    I would bring in Foles to be our team preacher, as he says he always wanted to be one. The only time I would play him is if we went to the Super Bowl. Then put him in for the Beef on Weck play, which is far more innovative than his Phily Phily Special.
