There's nothing wrong with this list. When I critique what some folks say about Allen it is not because they aren't ranking him highly enough right now...it's because they are presuming he won't continue to get better.

I just wonder why you keep hanging your hat on Allen's college stats. Those could be used before he took a snap in the NFL, but now we have nearly 30 starts and a boatload of more relevant information that suggests he does have the ability to take over a game. It seems like you're trying so hard to protect yourself from buying in that you refuse to see what's in front of you. But whatever.

@C.Biscuit97 why are you hung up on what Allen did in college and not staying on point with what he has done most recently? I don't understand this logic at all. He improved significantly from Y1 to Y2 in the NFL and, again, everything logical suggests he is on an upward climb. We're not talking about somebody with questionable skills or athletic traits that we're hoping somehow makes it. We're talking about a guy who was raw out of college with insane talent and a great work ethic simply continuing to improve. That's a "risky" bet?

Ok, here we go again. Tell me why, based upon what you've seen from Allen, that you believe he has reached his peak as an NFL QB. I don't care what his college stats were or what QBs before him did. Those stats are irrelevant. What have you seen that tells you he won't continue to get better?

I don't understand why more "expert" prognostications don't follow this line of thinking. It's logical. Nothing about Allen suggests he has "reached his peak" or will regress. Nothing.

Well said. Any player who isn’t concerned at this point is lacking a little something upstairs, if you ask me.

This is such a naive statement. You do understand that most racists try very hard to not appear to be racists, right? I mean, the norm isn’t wearing a white robe and pointy hat while screaming the n word. And there are many racists who don’t even think they are racists, so you saying you “know” no racism existed is just so uninformed. I’ll return to a question I asked in another thread. Why are some white people afraid/threatened/disinterested by a discussion that suggests we need change? Those people need to take a good long look in the mirror. It’s as if some folks really think the human existence should not consist of constantly evaluating and evolving, and challenging previously held beliefs and ideas. I’ll not participate further in this thread because I find it extremely frustrating.

That's your standard of reasonableness? Really? Oy vey.

Yeah, you and Booger feel that way...not so much anyone else. I think Brown had a fantastic year but that play was a brain fart on his part and not on Allen.

Isn't about time all of those who suffered at the hands of the Yankers are vindicated?

Oh please do a Whaley one. That dude always looks like he just woke up and someone surprised him with a question.

Still haven’t answered the question. Your basis for not changing Washington’s name is that “only 10%” of Native Americans are offended. Tell me ONE nickname that is offensive to 10% of the white population that exists in professional sports. You can’t because it doesn’t exist. Why is it ok to offend 10% of one culture but not another?

@Happy please let me know the nickname of a professional US sports team that 10% of white people find offensive. I’ll be waiting.

Just spitballing here, but I’d assume those people will simply be considered jackasses.

I like your style.

Reminds me of the old joke about the NBA’s Washington Bullets. At one time they considered changing their name because they wanted to avoid an association with gun violence. So they were just going to be called The Bullets.

So one comeback in a game the Bills list counts the same as the 6 or 7 wins Josh has led late in his first two seasons?

It was a simple yes or no question. I see you’re incapable of answering it.

Cuomo was literally one of the only guys to step up and lead during this outbreak. Every decision isn’t going to be the right one but focusing on the wrong decisions in hindsight totally misses the point. He is a leader and he did everything he could for his state at a time when the national response was (and still is) a joke. New York is now in better shape than most of the country because of Cuomo’s leadership. That’s just a fact.

Actually the funniest news to come out regarding the Rams is Eric Dickerson's assessment that their new logo "looks like a penis." LOL

You would certainly agree that between two QBs, having the experience and history of leading your team back in the 4th quarter is preferable, right?

So are you someone else who believes 4th quarter comebacks aren't important?

Yeah, we'll agree to disagree on that. His INT % went from 1.6 to 1.4 his first two seasons in Buffalo. He always avoided danger.

Well, I know two people can see things differently, and that's cool. Tyrod is a "flashier" runner but I think Josh gets more out of his runs. Josh already has 17 rushing TDs in 27 starts...Tyrod has 16 in 46 starts! And you can't just discount the sneaks -- they are a huge part of keeping the chains moving. Tyrod clearly was a better deep thrower but Josh blows him away in the intermediate range.
