Please go back and watch the video of Tyrod's performances last year against the Saints, Jags and others. Our passing game has been in the stone ages since about week 8 of 2011.

Deep breath, people. 5 games. 5 games.

Peterman couldn't carry Mathison's jock based on those highlights.

Peterman probably could have been a serviceable backup if the Chargers game hadn't happened. I think it ruined him forever.

I was under the assumption that Jacksonville couldn't fill it's stadium, but I just looked at their attendance numbers for the past few years and they've been solid. I could understand how a move to London could increase the overall value of the franchise, but how does playing a few games a year there as he Jacksonville Jaguars really benefit Khan? If the NFL wants a team in London, then do a divisional realignment and send the Chargers there. They're hated in both Los Angeles and San Diego now and have zero fanbase outside of the fans coming to support their opponents. They're a quality team and they can't even fill a 20,000 seat soccer stadium. London Chargers join the East, Dolphins move to the AFC South and Houston/Indy can slot into the AFC West.

Anyone who is not on board with the OP is a moron in my book. A project QB from a small school with 4 games under his belt with a possibly historically bad group of o-linemen and receivers. He's looked about as good as could be expected given the circumstances. I assume we'll upgrade the offense in the offseason so we should start to see some real progression on his part by midseason in 2019. If not, then I'll probably start to question. But as it stands now, I'm planning on keeping my mouth shut regarding any final conclusion on Allen for the next two years.

No. I think we were destined to lose four straight super bowls and would have found a way to lose the 17-3 lead.

My initial thought was "you're insane", but looking at the schedule it seems within the realm of possibility. I still think this is a 4-6 win team at best, but I thought the same last year. This week will be telling. Houston is definitely beatable. Need to stack two in a row here before I'll start to really consider it.

I'd trade him for a third. Not really worth it for anything less than that.

I'm more worried about Allen getting physically killed, than I am about his psyche. His mental makeup seems pretty solid.

I have absolutely no problem with Beane and McDermott gutting this roster, so long as the dudes they shipped out were not contributing to a positive atmosphere. They were brought in to rebuild this team the way they see fit. And I really don't understand how people can complain given they ended the playoff drought in their one full season, and presumably have secured our franchise quarterback for the next decade. This year is painful, but it's what year one of a rebuilding project looks like. Look back to the '88-'89 Cowboys or the '85-86 Bills. Those teams sucked, but the cultures were being created and the pieces put into place for future dominance.

Kelly Holcomb was a hall-of-famer in comparison to most of the bums listed (and many who weren't).

Josh Allen was always the biggest project of the "big 4" QBs. Very high ceiling, but a lower floor based on his current development. We're going to have to be very patient with this kid. And yes, it will sting watching Mayfield, Rosen and Darnold put up more impressive numbers than our guy for the next year or so, but drafting Allen was always about the longterm outlook. This team sucks top-to-bottom anyway, so there's really no point in whining about not having an NFL ready guy in there. The hope is that Josh grows with the rest of the roster over the next 2 to 3 years. If he looks like he did yesterday in the middle of year 2, then I'll start to worry. But the guy basically has a pass from me this year, so long as he continues to compete and show that he's a good leader/teammate.

I think he's saying that his draft analytics have him as even worse than a 3rd round grade, but he bumped him up to that spot because of his competitiveness. He basically thinks JA has Nathan Peterman potential. lol.

I think 2-2 is definitely doable.

Andrea Kramer seems pretty solid. Not sure about Hannah Storm though.

His upside might be Donald Jones.

Wow. Hope this guy can get right. Looks like a good dude from his social media presence. A little old (age 30) for his first psychotic break. Wouldn't be surprised if it was triggered by something physical or an adverse reaction to medication.

Don't look now, but Fitzy is on the comeback wagon.

Lol...Geez...this was his very first start as a professional. Not sure what people expected.

Actually, you're wrong. It's pretty clear that Carron Phillips is a racist based on the two linked columns.

I'm with the OP. This is a team of very meager talent. I have zero expectations that we'll even be competitive from week-to-week. Now that the Peterman experiment is over, I'm excited to watch Josh Allen's development.

Great post. This is spot on, in my opinion. He definitely looks the part and seems to have the right make-up to lead this team into the future, but he still has quite a bit to work on. I think he'll eventually get the decision-making/processing stuff down after a year or two, but I do worry whether he'll ever be accurate. With his arm strength, gunslinger mentality and overall athleticism, he reminds me quite a bit of a young John Elway.

Pretty sure he's only 20 years old. This is what it looks like when you're forced to start extremely green guys.

I wasn't excited about drafting the guy, but I'm on board now. Guy has all the physical tools and the "it" factor too. We knew he was raw coming in. Just need to support him and have a little patience with the kid as he learns on the fly.
