Man not hot. Man never hot. Seat not hot.

Can't believe Beane didn't know he would miss those 2 kicks when he drafted him.
He knew, that's why he caused the league to schedule the Jets first.
Beane is a warlock

Absurd. He is weapon-challenged, but that was atrocious today. He looked scared.
-
Given Jets D-line strength, and lack of time to gel, I think we roll with our line for a bit. Feliciano a week closer.
-
The saddest thing for Jets fans is they need a new quarterback. They waited nearly 30 years since Namath. Darnold has regressed and I don't think he can do it at this level.
-
Both these linebackers are essential for us. Milano is not undersized by modern NFL linebacker standards and how they want to use him. A pulled hammy is not from being undersized. Pay the man!

I think too harsh to say no excuses. First NFL game man, give him a break. If it continues we get Hauschka off the couch (or did he sign someplace?)
-
They said it was a shoulder and "unlikely to return" -- which I take as a good sign. As in maybe he could have returned. But maybe I am being too optimistic . . . can't lose him or Milano. Their speed, smarts and leadership change it all.

Allen is a beast. He affects the game the way only a few quarterbacks in the league can. He is awesome. A leader and a hard worker blessed with awesome raw talent. It is a lot less raw now.

Allen has growing yet to do - ball security, less reckless throws - but he is on the verge of being really great. So close. He is already damn good.
-
I don't think lack of weapons is a valid excuse, he was throwing it all over and had happy feet.

Sounds like a real gentleman and a driven competitor. With good measurables. Seems like a nice fit.

Stupid move Ed. I feel bad for the young man. However, it is a serious mistake. You can bet Beane and McDermott will be watching him close and if it is a way of life he will be gone. If not, he can put it behind him like the Hughes drag racing incident. Ed's choice. A fork in the road.

1991 team vs. 2020 team, all players in their prime. Who wins? 2020 has 30 years of size/speed increases. 1991 team was a more accomplished team. Tempting to say its a wipe-out for 2020, but I think players like Bruce, Thurman, Kelly, Andre - their skills would still translate.

Gore gave us his all, was a great teammate and help launched Singletary. Good luck Frank! HOF.

Good point by the OP, but I think their stats actually understate how lethal the combination of the three can be for three reasons:
1. Playing with Diggs should materially help Brown and Beasley's ability to uncover;
2. It is unlikely that Josh regresses, and likely he progresses to some degree; aided by the addition of Diggs; and
3. More experience for other weapons Singletary and Knox, plus a healthy Kroft, should further pressure defenses and help all our wideouts uncover.

Punter.
But it feels great to have that as an answer! Bojo makes me very nervous, even though he played better as the season wore on. He seems still to be a shank waiting to happen. -
No, we were close last year, but not ready to win yet. We are now more experienced, and very talented.
Of course, the players we are counting on do need to play to or near expectations. Some will, some will not, some will exceed - as always. How we do in that ration really will dictate our outcome, I believe.
*ratio (sorry for the typo)

just see him as a similar version of Barkley where his arm just won't cut it in Buffalo. You can only play the screen game/dink and dunk for so long, and this Oline doesn't get outside the hashes well enough to do it successfully even with Allen so consider me highly skeptical.
Getting drafted in Buffalo hurts him if he actually ends up having to play, I think. If he played for a dome team like NO or ATL, I think he'd have a better shot.
This is not crazy at all, but give the kid a shot. If he shows good NFL awareness they may trade him for a pick with a trade partner in a more Fromm-friendly City. And we really don't know what he can or cannot do here. He could be a great 10 year back-up if he would accept that (which I doubt). Hell, he could be a starter. We just don't know.
-
But maybe he knew he was in a dome, and would have thrown it with a flatter trajectory at The Ralph. I am all-in on give the kid a chance. The poster with the Maddux analogy is right. Little to lose. Does Brady have a stronger arm? Not sure he ever did. Is he faster? Taller?
-
I am not sure why people are making definitive statements either. As I recall, the board exploded with outrage last year when we took Singletary in the third -- battle cries went up. "Wasted pick, running back in the third," and "he is a gadget player at his size, a luxury pick with our roster full of holes." And I was all like "yeah, did we really need a running back there." Then I saw him play!
I trust Beane and the quality staff he has assembled. If he was sticking out on the Beane's board, I am glad that we got him in the 5th. -
I think the Seattle scout Nagy's comparison of Fromm to Dalton is very encouraging. I saw another scout compare him to former Jet Chad Pennington, another heady quarterback with a mediocre arm. No reason to believe any of our posters have more insight than those scouts (even if their comments are valid), so why not give the kid a chance? His film to me shows a leader and gamer and with exceptional pocket-awareness and decision-making. I choose to be optimistic, and if he can be the equivalent of a Dalton or Pennington (picked in the 2nd and 1st respectively), he is an absolute steal. Welcome to Buffalo Jake, go get 'em!

Zach seems great. Love the part where he was talking about grinding and grinding to get to the championship. People like Milano, Tre White, Allen, Edmunds, Wallace, Lee Smith, Singletary, Hyde - I am confident he is going to be guided towards and introduced to a whole new level of grinding, and it seems he will take to it naturally. He has plenty of good mentors.

Mea culpa...I was wrong about Trent Murphy...

His salary is just over $6 million -- not much for a quality end anyhow. I think $3 million of his pay or so is amortized bonus that we would have ate even if we cut him.
He is only 29, probably has 3 good years left. If he has an eight sack season, gets pressure and is stout against the run, why would we not re-sign him? He is a six year vet and missed a full year - should have plenty left in his body for another 3 years.
