If this season is a total wash as you say and doesn’t matter at all, why con Kyle Williams into playing? Why keep Shady and likely waste one of his last two good years? Why keep Lorax?
Every player you mentioned is important to building the culture here. Phillips and Edmunds will learn a ton from Kyle and Lorax. And they didnt con anyone. We traded up for a raw rookie QB - do you think Kyle Williams has his eye on the Lombardi this year? After all the Bills teams he's been with this is the one that will break his spirit? This season is about developing our young talent. Trading Shady without his approval means you lose the locker room. Trading McCarron for a 5th round pick doesn't mean anything. He was here for training camp and vomited all over himself against future insurance salesmen. For all we know he could have been as terrible as Peterman was.

Can also rightfully Criticize going McCarron in offseason to begin with knowing you are about to draft a rookie. So your idea before draft is to put 2 5th round picks with a total what 5 games experience combined
The alternative was paying Bradford $20 million or trading a 1st for Foles. If you want to nitpick i guess we should have signed Bridgewater, us and 30 other teams. But you know what I'm good with spending $5 million on a high 5th round pick. Yes even accounting for Peterman having to start 3 quarters of football. We'll get over it.

To trade your only slightly proven guy was a mistake
Here we go again. McCarron is not proven at all. And the high 5th round pick we got for him is infinitely more valuable than anything he offers to our team this year. There is practically a 0% chance his presence on the team contributes anything to our future. Based on how this regime has drafted, that 5th round pick has probably a 25-30% chance of contributing to our future. It was an easy decision and I wouldn't change it now. I wish Anderson had gotten here a few weeks sooner but it really is meaningless.

Did I read somewhere that this injury will never heal 100%?
Maybe.

Um, yes. You might want to look up Joshy Boys stats.
If you include his rushing they are almost exactly the same as rookies. How about you give him a year to see how his development goes instead of writing hinlm off?

Is it me that doesn't know what they are seeing or the guy who thinks we are on to something with a player who cannot cross the CJ Beathard bar?
CJ Beathard played in 7 games as a rookie, he started 5. He had a 54.9% completion rate, 4 TDs to 6 INTs, a YPA of 6.4, and a passer rating of 69.2. He was sacked 19 times.
Is that the bar you're talking about?

I watch it. It's awesome. And a curse for people who don't know what they are watching, or claim guys are wide open a second after the QB has already looked at them when they weren't open and on to his second or third progression.
I enjoy the all-22s for what they are, which is a good view of how plays are designed and how they develop. But they are being wildly misused by internet scouts. I saw someone on Twitter last week breaking down an all-22 for Aaron Rodgers against the Redskins and pointing out all these open receivers he should have thrown the ball to. Somehow I trust Aaron Rodgers's progressions and knowledge of the play over some guy with an overhead view of the entire field.

I'm not knocking you specifically, but some of the criticism of this doctor is a little absurd. He's not going to perform surgery via twitter. As an interested observer, I appreciate some insight on the possibilities.
Every injury has the possibility of being serious. Specifically bringing up the absolute worst case scenario, which is incredibly unlikely, is definitely click bait. You could do that for any sports injury before the official diagnosis comes out.

Again this was the original report:
"Concern he will miss weeks." I like what pro football doc does but it seems to me is trying to get clicks by putting the worst case scenario on the table.

We absolutely do not know this at this point in time.
Yes we do. The team doctors didn't find a tear in the MRI but they are sending it to another doctor to be safe. That's the crux of the this whole thing. If it's just a sprain he'll be out a month.
-
It is unlikely he will need surgery. They are taking every possible precaution by sending the MRI to Dr. Andrew's but the most likely scenario is he sits for a month. Even if he sits the rest of the season that wouldn't be the worst thing for him.

Me too. Derek Anderson and this group of receivers is not that.

The pro football doc said it's different from Mariota's injury:
This is not a nerve issue like Marcus Mariota had, and it is worse than my initial thoughts of a contusion.

There is now concern for a UCL sprain with structural damage.
The test is called a milking sign, and the immediate reaction to pain indicates there is damage to the UCL, which is also commonly called the Tommy John ligament for its frequent reconstruction in baseball pitchers.
Allen remained in the game for one play after the hit that injured his elbow and on that pass winced in pain. Throwing a football would certainly stress this ligament, and his reaction after the pass is another sign of the injury.
The week-to-week prognosis Bills coach Sean McDermott gave may be typical optimistic "coach speak.” And McDermott is not entirely inaccurate. It will be week-to-week, but a good outcome for the Bills would be a return by Allen some time in November.
Throwing, especially deep and when driving the ball, relies on the UCL. If a doctor pulling on his thumb caused extreme pain, the forces when throwing a deep out, which are much greater, would be problematic for Allen.
I’m not saying Allen needs Tommy John surgery, as there can be partial tears and sprains that can heal with rest and rehab. But it won’t happen this month.
It is rare for a quarterback to need Tommy John surgery, as a QB’s throws involves different forces than a pitcher.
Former Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme in 2007 is the most recent example I can think of in the NFL, while dozens of major league pitchers have undergone the surgery this year alone.
I’m not ready to say Allen’s season is done or that he needs surgery. But he will be hard-pressed to play the next few weeks based on his reaction to the test on his elbow.Who's ready for one month of Derek Anderson?

Well, I gotta salute the team for their excellent development of a raw qb prospect.
The play he was injured on was a routine pass play. It happens. I for one salute the NFL for their excellent focus on player safety. It's going so well for them.

I am uncertain what it would hurt to start him at this point. Our chances of making the playoffs this year are slim and none. His starting schedule has been sporadic. Start him three games in a row where he prepares for each opponent and see what you have. Maybe a light goes on, maybe the OC doesn't call plays that are not suited to him. Worst thing that happens is he explodes which gives us a better draft pick. No no no I am not a tank Advocate and never will be. But the season is lost and starting our 35 year-old old Mentor probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense at the end of the day.
Yeah this is where I'm at with it. I can't think of a single benefit of Anderson playing. I mean I would only start Peterman until Allen is recovered from the injury but that could be a game or 2 where he can just watch some film.
-
What is the worst case scenario if Peterman starts? We lose a game that we probably lose either way if Allen is injured? I couldn't care less. I'll still watch the game to evaluate other pieces, moreso on defense than offense obviously. It makes no difference if it's Peterman or Anderson or the equipment manager throwing the ball. This season is a wash. The only thing that matters is Allen developing and unfortunately that's not possible this week.
And the NFL is a running joke with their weak roughing the passer penalties, but of course 2 DEs playing pinball with a QB after he's released the ball isn't flag worthy.

If that were us, Holmes is overthrown and Benjamin jogs past the bouncing ball with a look of disdain as they both wave their arms around “what can ya do?”
If that were us, Allen would have thrown the ball slightly too low for our JAG receiver to grab it, and then Twitter analysts would explode with 15 images that prove the pass should have been better and someone on the other side of the field was wide open if only Allen had looked that way

He’s also getting no help from his defensive teammates and he was still undefeated until now.
You're right, and that is going to be a major problem for KC moving forward. Even with all the rule changes a good defense wins you games. I've seen so many games this season that are just coin flips, whichever offense has the ball last wins. I don't find that exciting but I know that's what the NFL is trying to turn the sport into.

I thought he was calling you out for the Tyrod the goat takes
Lol I'll own my Tyrod opinions. I give Bills QBs plenty of chances to prove themselves. I was still on the Peterman train until he started this year. I'll give Allen 2 years minimum too. People are way too quick judge QBs around the league. There have been too many Derek Carrs, RGIIIs, etc. to start crowning anyone or saying the Bills made a mistake taking Allen over whoever else.

Mahomes is fantastic - no question about it. But that WR was WIDE open. In fact think about how many times tonight you've seen a receiver running free. Then think about the Bills games this season and I can't remember a single time that one of our guys was this open more then 20 yards downfield.
They call them play makers for a reason. And we don't have them.
Yeah I'm not questioning Mahomes's talent at all. He has been very good especially for his first season as a starter. It is also fair to say he has a tremendous amount of help and his decision making can still be suspect.

You make such declarative statments that often blow up on you. It''s fun.
Which statement was that? The one where I correctly stated that Mahomes makes too many terrible passes off his back foot that are picked or nearly picked? Is that the statement that was blown up when his wide open receiver caught a simple pass and sprinted to the endzone?

We don't need skill players.
Hill isn't just a skill player, he's a top 5 WR in the NFL. In a year or two he'll be the best WR in the game. Many WRs have elite speed and many have elite hands, he is the rare talent that has both.
