Sammy Watkins' Rib

Tom Brady pisses in his cheerios, your cheerios and every TBD poster's cheerios. Being MVP of the league at 40 and throwing for 500 yards in the Super Bowl probably does make one feel that way. Brady will slow down eventually. I'm just not counting on it being over the next two years. 3-5 more likely. QBs in general do seem to be playing longer these days. Brees is pretty much right there with Brady in having discovered the fountain of youth.

"Is this thing on?" Wait, is that the wrong guy? Who was Russ Brandon again?

GM Speak Gettleman would be a fool to say that he had an offer of 3 first round picks+ but decided to stay at #2 and draft the least valuable position in football.

Loving the Allen pick more and more with each passing day.

Uh-oh, nobody tell Rosen this or he might have a hissy fit.

I love that Allen is from the Central Valley. Think blue collar, like Buffalo. Instead of blizzards and sub 20 degree temperatures. You have dust storms and day after day of 100+ degree temperatures. The Carr brothers also called/call the Central Valley their home. It is a unique part of California that many outside of the state would not be familiar with. It's California's very own "fly over country". It's a shame he couldn't get on with Fresno state and follow in the footsteps of Trent Dilfer and the Carr brothers. But in the end it worked out okay for him. Side note, I've been living in the Central Valley, Bakersfield specifically, for the last 6 years.

I don't think Peterman gets cut. It's more likely than not, if AJ starts they won't want Allen having to play this year should AJ have to miss sometime with an injury. Perhaps if Allen looks far ahead of schedule they may change their mind. But for now I would think the game plan would be to not force him into playing time until he is ready. They didn't have anyone else beyond Taylor so when they had to bench him to light a fire under him they had to put the rookie in too soon last year. Result was 5INTs in the first half. They do not want the same scenario to present itself in week 2 or 3 of the season if AJ goes down. Only shot of Peterman being cut is if we bring in someone else or Allen looks really, really good. At which point Allen may just start week one anyway and make Peterman expendable.

So at least in Buffalo, if you are a QB it's better to have a low Wonderlic score?

At least two seasons starting.

That has nothing to do with who Beane would have preferred if he had his choice. Allen was their top choice for who was left on the board. Obviously, because they took him. But we will never know if he was their top choice overall. I believe he was over Mayfield for sure though. That's typically how it works for every team. So yeah.

I do believe he got who he wanted as well. Possibly he would have taken Darnold over Allen but I doubt Mayfield.

I'll take that as a good example but that's still close to 30 years ago.

What kind of baloney is that? Of course trades are going to happen. Especially for QBs.

If he is playing equally with McCarron then why wouldn't he be ready? For that to be the case McCarron would have to regress.

If Allen out right wins the job over McCarron that would actually be a great sign.

I'm all for a project QB if we have Andy Reid, Doug Pederson or Sean McVay as our head coach. But we got the defensive minded Sean McDermott and we all saw how well he had his staff prepare Petterson to start.

Pretty much all of them. How many Bills fans here wanted Allen over Rosen? <1percent?

I don't recall him being touted as having a big arm coming out of Cal.

I do agree with your last sentence. Allen's accuracy issues and ability to read the field are highly questionable. But of the top QB's, he and Darnold feel like the two guys that will really represent a team and city well for what it is worth.

JP in EJ's body?

QBs with big arms always work out. I mean you only have to go all the way back to Elway to find one that did.

It's okay guys. We can still get Rosen at 22.

Holly hell.

Shut your mouth Aikman!

Has to be Rosen!
