    Knew the price would be too much, but it was nice to dream. We have too many other needs right now to trade it all away for one player. I wish him well and am happy we don’t need to see him 2x a year

     

    If the Bears indeed trade the asking price of two #1's, that means they feel good about QB on the rookie deal and are pushing to make a SB run in the next three years. Huge bet.

    If we can trade McCarron for anything we save $1 million on the cap this year and $5 million next year. That's the best thing we can do right now. This is his 4th year in the league and he hasn't improved at all. I'd rather just see Peterman if the plan is to let Allen be the backup for a few games. At least Peterman has a chance of becoming something.

     

    And then the cynic in me would think the Pats would cut Danny Etling, sign AJ and just get the playbook out of him :)

  3. Do we really think someone as detail oriented as McD doesn't already know who his day one starter is? Just because he's humming and hawing over it with media doesn't mean a thing. Regardless of who gets the bulk of the load tomorrow, expect heavy doses of Cadet, Ford and Taiwan Jones via handoffs.

    Mark, I can assure you I am not Dunkirk don, I live in Ohio I have done some research from veterans on the board and can assure you i am not but thanks for the comparison I heard he was pretty remarkable with his insight knowledge.  The only time I come back to wny is to deer hunt in a very small town

    From my understanding and from people in the know, AJ is McDermott and Daboll pick.   The problem is the right shoulder.  If AJ doesn’t hurt, he is the game one starter and still maybe.  If he cannot go, peterman gets the call.  

     

    How can you start a thread saying Peterman was always the plan, then have this blurb that AJ was really the pick? No comprende

    I like Schopp and agree with him most of the time.  Guess I’m in the minority of listeners that post on this board.

     

    Have to take him for what he is. Basically the anti-Sal C. Which I guess can be healthy. It's very clear he does not take the rah-rah position basically ever. Not saying other hosts are all rah-rah and pro-team, but he def is on the other side of the spectrum.

    Revisitng my scouting report from 7 months ago I am very pleased with how Allen is progressing.

     

    He has really come along way in a bunch of departments (mechanics looks sharper, learning to throw with some touch)

     

    and I don’t think he’s as inaccurate as many(including me when I made this) think he is 

     

    The Howitzer that is attached to his right shoulder cannot be overstated, and cannot be grasped until you see it in person 

     

    He is different. The ball comes out of his hand differently. He is special... no need to rush him...

     

    i think as Bills fans we are so used to getting let down... it’s hard to truly believe we found the guy... that’s why it’s easy to look at his stat line from college and be unimpressed 

     

    But when you break down what he does do good, and how much he’s willing to work to improve... the sky is the limit and he is already pretty good

     

    When he finally is the starter there will be ups and downs but in time he will become a star For us... the term once in a generation gets tossed around far too much... but Joshs arm only comes around once every 25 years

     

    Seeing it in person just made me billieve even more, he really does have rare talent 

     

    Cant wait for the season and his career!

     

    Go Bills

     

    Too long; didn't read: we should all be optimistic. 

     

    Thanks for this. As a longtime skeptic, given our QB history and I wanted Rosen, color me very intrigued/impressed.

     

    I made a LONG drive to see the first game in person at NEF. Without question, I've never had this level of optimism in Losman, Edwards or EJ. Losman had an arm and some legs, but was kinda small and never really knew what the hell he was doing. Edwards had - it seemed - poise, but that led to check downs because he had zero arm. EJ, well, I never really got him at all. Just a guy. 

     

    Allen, in one game, showed poise, command of huddle AND at the line, and just made plays with his arm and legs. Once he really gets dialed in within this O, it really is something to consider. 

     

    A few things highlighted:

     

    (1) I really can't comment on his college mechanics because, well, I just don't know that much about foot position, but he was not wildly inaccurate by any stretch. With #1 NFL receivers, at least one of his deep shots is a completion. 

     

    (2) If he didn't have an arm, after all the hype, we would have pitch forks. But my lord, I know it's cliche to have an arm to 'throw in the wind of Buffalo' but it really is a thing. The fact he was throwing guys open on game 1 is very encouraging. 

     

    (3) I don't know if this is just a product of the 'game plan' for the first preseason game, but he def stared down his receivers. Did he do slight pumps here and there to get DB's to commit? Absolutely. That all said, he needs to scan the field more with a plan already in mind. #1 defenses feast on guys that stare at the first read. That will lead to picks and sacks in the regular season. In some cases, all he had to do was identify the first read and where he was going to go, and then just look elsewhere for half a second to move a safety and make the throw. I am fully aware that is counter to my lack of knowledge of foot position, but on tape it's very clear what DBs do when Qb's are only looking at one half of the field. Again, could be a game plan/play call thing.

     

    He just can't be Mr. Improv if he plays against #1's. Not yet anyway.

    No grounds for a suspension based on a weak and/or frivolous civil case.

     

    I tend to agree that the NFL won't get involved with a she said/he said civil matter. That said, the moment any police report with some evidence substantiating this claim, you never know. The fact her lawyer is getting this going now with nothing from the police makes me think she just wants some $$ and she'll go away.

    Interesting point. I wonder how many resources law enforcement is putting into this thing?

    IF she actually believes that Shady was responsible, she would want the police case solved, as that would make her claim of damages a slam dunk. So, it benefits her to wait. 

    IF she doesn't believe he is responsible, she wants the case to go unsolved, so that the perp's identities don't derail her civil case. So, she files sooner rather than later.

     

    All things being equal, I would assume her legal team would choose sooner over later.

     

    That is all fine and dandy, but if there is no police involvement or indictment, Shady will probably do one of these: (1) fight the suit in court <-- can be a royal pain and a time suck (2) pay her something to get this all to stop and have her absolve him of any wrong doing <-- not sure the NFL will care if they think there is anything more to the story, but I would ask her for a $ number and offer half for her to get out of his life (3) nuclear option: fight suit and counter sue.
