    That may be my biggest attraction to him.

    The F*** Trump kid is likely to create a QB controversy on grounds that are cultural/political.  If you think not, try to honestly ask yourself, Would you be enthusiastic about drafting a kid who wears a F*** Obama hat?

    Just askin'.

  2. Your home-cooked report represents what's best of fan message boards -- a respectful and informed opinion on a matter of interest to the rest of us.

    I don't follow each day's rising and setting tides concerning these QB's, but I follow enough to know that a.) everyone agrees Allen has the biggest arm, and b.) Allen had the best Wonderlic, by a significant margin, over any of those who regularly get mentioned as first-rounders.

    Biggest arm and biggest brain amongst the blue-chip QB's, with no character problems and a real desire for success.  If that's what the Buffalo Bills manage to pick in the first round, I will be glad.

    The QB centric game IS the revolution.  You would look to change this....so a few teams won’t choose willingly to overpay for a QB?

     

    The cap is massive and growing each year.  Everyone will get paid.

     

    You want a sport with lots of running and little scoring?  Look into soccer 


    I wasn't looking for lots of running and little scoring.  I was looking for variety of any sort, and for nonconformist thinking that could free the game from its present QB-centric structure and strictures.

  4. I can remember when the primary position in the NFL was running back.  Running backs are now paid on a par with kickers and punters.

    Over time, the game became so QB-centric that a five-game starter in San Francisco becomes the league's richest player, until (weeks later) a QB with more career losses than wins becomes the league's richest player, until (a few months later) teams are scrambling to give away years of first round picks for any of four or five unproven college quarterbacks.

    Could there/will there be a visionary (or a visionary coach/GM/owner troika) who envision a new way -- to draft, pay, trade and play the game on the field -- in such a way that leverages the a$$ets now devoted to QB into a competitively superior team with a totally different approach to the game?

    I invite comments from any free thinkers out there who know way more about this game than I do, and who are sick of reading about hand size and how many years of first round draft picks it will cost us to see if Joe Schmoe from Kokomo State will ever pan out.  The game is over-due for a revolution.

  5. Moving, in order, from the sublime to the abominable...

    Murph is great for the Bills and for Buffalo at large.

    Kelso is sometimes interesting and always authoritative, but his technical chalk-talks leave me cold. 
     

    Schopp hates his customers almost as much as he hates himself.  What a miserable experience the post-game show has become.

  6. If you're crying over football, your priorities are out of order. Not even as a child did I cry. Anger, sure. Sadness and despair, hell no. Crying is in the same line of lameness as an adult wearing the name of another adult on his back. Never owned a jersey and never cried. If I did either, hopefully someone would shoot me.

    This guy has all the macho bona fides. Does he get a plaque or a ribbon, or something?
