What if the Jets take him?

If it works, then it’s good for the Bills—though it works as long as they both go in the top 4.

With the way Hue is talking up Chubb, the Giants could take him. First 4: Darnold chubb Allen/Rosen/Mayfield? Barkley one of the 3 QBs could be available at 6

All of this cheer leading about jobs is certainly done with blinders on, as if nothing was going on previously. The fact is the total number of jobs created for each year of Obama's second term was greater than 2017, Trump's first year. Let me re-phrase this: job growth in Trump's first year was less than any year of Obama's second term. Trump's first year was simply a continuation of growth, nothing more. I'm not crediting Obama, rather, as long as the economy is allowed to expand--without the Fed putting an end to it, employment grows, and employment was growing under Trump's first year at rate less than the previous four--there were no policies changes that would impact total employment. Now, as I have predicted based on the tax cuts, I fully expect this year to be much stronger. He can certainly take credit for any impact this year, as he should also take blame for the significant expansion of the deficit which is the source of that impact.

Yeah, maybe they don't want the Bills to jump in front of them...?

Viva la revolucion!!!!

I'm sure they like him as a QB, despite the lack of stature. I think his biggest issue is personality fit, and that's what they really want to get into now.

I think you can chalk a lot of that up to experience, or lack of. Dalton was in his 5th year vs the first starts of AJ's career. 2015 was also Dalton's best statistical year, the only time he had a rating > 100; most of the time he's been under 90. I really like that AJ was able to comeback in the playoff game @Pitt. For a guy who was essentially getting his 4th career start, that's impressive.

I'm not defending anyone; I was pointing out that it's stupid to say one party does stuff and pretend the other doesn't.

They certainly can be a playoff team with AJ, but they still need a few more pieces for it to happen. The Bills broke the playoff drought more from the play of their Defense than their offense. Star should help their porous run D, but they still need some LBs and CBs. On O, they need a WR2. Given those additions, there's no reason why AJ can't take them to the playoffs. His 2015 season provides a glimpse of his capabilities. In the games he started, they easily beat SF (a bad team), they lost in OT at Denver, and they beat Balt at home. They almost came back to beat Pitt in Pitt. I think it's clear he can lead an offense and score points, and he has a knack for comebacks. With an improved run D, AJ can lead the team to the playoffs.

Promises, promises...

subliminal typo....

His contract is less than Groy's. If he were really good, then he would've been snapped up among the first tier FAs. It will be a good competition..

And the point of this was row complaining about the Dems attacking trump for anything and everything as if the reps don't pull the same ****. $70 million to catch Clinton in a lie about a blow job....errrr...extra-marital affair...he also lies about his golf game. Come to think of it, so does trump. 2 peas in a pod.

Yes, that could be an interesting camp battle, but I expect Groy to be th victor.

What did he lie about?

Maybe you don't read widely? Ever hear about a congressional investigation into a blow job?

Here's an article on the trend, which has been in a long term decline. The point I make, and the articles I posted, is that corps have been more focused on financial manipulations to "create value" than real investments. That doesn't mean that things aren't about to change, and in fact as the article points out, there are a lot of factors that suggest there could be a surge--the age of the capital stock probably the most important. https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2017/06/06/2189480/us-capex-investment-and-growth/

If Darnold doesn’t go first, I think the Bills will go all in to get him at 2.

As long as you’re not Russian or associate with them...

Care to provide a link to support that last statement?

No, they are using earnings and/or accumulated cash to buy shares in the markets; so whoever sold the shares is receiving $. It used to be an end around way to pay shareholders a "dividend" when there was a tax differential on cap gains and dividends, but that's no longer the case. It also used to be the case that corporate treasurers would buy stocks when they were perceived to be below intrinsic value and sell new shares when they were seen to be above value. Now managers buy to push prices higher in order to hit price targets that trigger stock compensation incentives. It's more about using earnings to hit short term stock price goals as opposed to investing in real capital to improve long term competitiveness. This is what the articles are about, and what many are now criticizing. Yes, the yield curve inverts when the Fed tightens short rates, and that's the spark for the recession.

It might be easier to list the QBs the Bills have NOT been rumored to covet...

The treasury auction always clears.

This piece says they were pretty good... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000916199/article/saints-bills-rams-among-nfls-10-best-offensive-line-units
