The drought really did a number on some fans. "McDermott 4 Eva" types really just like watching the team make the playoffs consistently and are fine with just that.
Those who criticize McDermott believe that the goal is to win a Super Bowl, and not doing that with the most physically gifted QB in NFL history would be a gigantic disappointment. Best way to sum up the two camps.
Josh, you're at the point now in your career where, if some stylist on the set of a commercial suggests you wear a dress shirt and tie with capri sweatpants, you can just politely tell them "Absolutely not."
Yeah, he went #7 overall. Meanwhile you and others are claiming that no one thought he would be good. Are you claiming he wasn't in play at #1? That that wasn't being reported all week?
"The riskiest QB in the draft" doesn't go top-10. He would've been awesome on any team. Giving McDermott of all people credit for drafting him and coaching him up is laughable.
No, you are mistaken. It was definitely suggested that Cleveland might take him first overall, and it was also rumored that Seattle offered them Russell Wilson straight-up for the #1 pick so that they themselves could take Allen. Rewriting history is suggesting there was ever a chance he wasn't going top-10.
I'm getting pretty tired of this increasingly popular opinion that's it perfectly fine to steal products and services from others as long as the victim of the theft is the more successful of the two parties. That's a bad precedent to set, as there are always people poorer than you.
The first time it happened with a streaming service (maybe Netflix?) the public should've put their collective foot down and agreed to cancel their subscriptions on a mass level. We didn't, and they all knew they could get away with it after that. Frog is completely boiled now.
Josh Gordon was almost certainly testing positive for a plethora of drugs other than marijuana, but I agree that the suspensions are completely arbitrary and not commensurate with the crime.
The Ravens would likely grade Lamar Jackson for Allen or Mahomes. They'd at least think about it, whereas the Bills and Chiefs would never even entertain the idea.
Mahomes has played for probably the best offensive play-caller in history and has had long stints with two recievers (Kelce and Hill) who are likely more talented than anyone who has played receiver/TE for the Bills at any time during their franchise's history. Gotta be taken into account.
