Respectfully disagree. I’d rather have the 6’5” super fast guy who looked dominant at times with one of the worst throwing qbs in all of college football than a undersized, not really fast guy who wasn’t even the best slot wr on his college team (Hunter). Ray Ray types are so easy to find. 6’5” fast guys aren’t.
and didn’t we just draft Josh Allen on potential?
Josh Allen was the best player on the field everytime he stepped onto a WAC field...
ESB cannot say the same... he also had Kizer throwing him the ball his sophomore year and he dropped passes still
ESB is like Dorian Green Beckham only less talented.
He is a great athlete , not a great football player

Who has more upside - Ray Ray or ESB? Plenty of guys develop in later rounds.
Playing devils advocate of course plenty of late round picks develop... they are both late round picks so I will say they are on even terms as far as roster status
ESB has the physical tools you look for. Height , weight , speed but lacks a lot of WR nuances you look for
Ray Ray is small, and was not used as a true every down receiver at Clemson but showed good concentration, ability to catch in traffic and play bigger than his size
While ESB might have more “potential” on paper... all potential means is you haven’t done **** yet
ill take the kid who can catch and return punts, and run gadget plays in the 6th

Brad Kaaya. Pshaw. I predict mid RPO on Sunday Allen's molar will leap from his head unprovoked and lay waste to Joey Bosa as he stand on the sideline in a walking boot, thus beginning the legend of Josh Allen.
I actually heard that Bosas foot bruise happened because he stepped on Allen’s canine... which he strategically placed on the ground ?

I can't disagree but would add that too much of anything will either get him killed or be completely ineffective. The idea is to mix it up enough to stop the front 7 from attacking as much. Even when mixing it up there is a chance that the defense will guess right and get pressure. Someone posted vids of Allen's games last year and the first one I watched he took off running and got decleated. There's always a chance the QB will get hit.
Of course . Football is a violent game.
Thats why the whole starting him too soon can ruin him is BS to me... he can get hurt on any play at any time... behind a good line or bad line.. you play the best QB you have in the NFL
he is used to playing behind a dog**** Oline at Wyoming so it shouldn’t put him into shell shock... he was baptized By fire at Wyoming , and the cream rises
and he will be baptized by fire in the NFL, and I have a feeling he will surprise (in a good way) a lot of people

People who are screaming for a heavy dose of RPOs are missing 1 thing...
the idea behind the Run/Pass option is for it too look like a run with passing options
so you will get LBrs going downhill fast in the NFL and doing this...
a very good line can like the eagles and it can be successful...
ours struggles to pick up blitzes and stunts... a RPO offense can get Allen killed
just Coach Allen up to take off against man for a quick 7-10 when it’s open and get down

Dareus could have been as good as Mack if he kept playing like he did in 2014. He didn't come close, after getting the huge contract. That's why he hasn't even made a Pro Bowl and they shipped him out when they had a chance.
Dareus was a 2x pro bowler for us and 1x all pro

Hahaha very cool! And I can see it being nerve wrecking
they take a serious amount of trauma on their bodies... and he seems like a high flier...

How did he get into wrestling? He had some sick suicide dives in that video!

Between Wentz and Goff, Wentz was considered far more NFL ready at the draft and even coming out of camp. Eagles also had a SB level roster to surround Wentz and take some of the pressure off him. Everyone keeps comparing him to Allen because they both came from small schools but the comparison ends there. They're completely different QBs, with polar opposite situations (as far as help talent), and their learning curves coming into the league couldn't be anymore dissimilar.
They aren’t Completely different QBs... they were recruited by the same coach who has said their are similarities
they are both big, stout pocket passers 6’5 235+, and have high levels of athletic ability and escapability from the pocket. Both are very creative when plays break down and are strong with throwing off would be sack artists
Carson Wentz was more cerebral than Josh Allen coming out while Allen is more physically gifted

Oh, I know. I'm just trying to figure out the qualifier since there clearly is one. Maybe he meant it literally. QBs who got their very first start as a Bill?
Brohm, EJ, Tuel, Tyrod, Peterman
If they want to use the Cassel technicality for Tyrod he lost to NE in week 2.
Yea I have no idea what the qualifier is

Cardale didn't start a game for the Bills either. But there's also a lot more than 5 QBs since Trent...
Fitz and Brohm both started a game in 2009
EJ, Thad Lewis, and Jeff Tuel all got starts in 2013
Orton in 2014
Tyrod and technically Cassel in 2015 (regardless of whether you count Indy as Tyrod or Cassel it was their first start and we won)
Peterman in 2017
So Allen will be the 10th new QB to start for the Bills since Edwards.
I said drafted. Fitz and Brohm weren’t drafted... neither was Thad, or Orton, or Cassell
Tuel I will count as UDFA... forgot about him for a second

While 30,000 young persons at the lots by the stadium is one measure it is far from the only measure. It's been on the news recently that many high school football programs are seeing less participants currently than what was previous not many years back and not all of it is due to debilitating injury concerns. I am around kids of all ages and I hear less NFL and college football talk among 25 year olds on down than when my oldest nephews and nieces were in their early twenties a decade ago and even that is less than when I was that age a few decades back. There are approximately 3 million people in in the WNY and Central NY areas and most likely there are nearly a million people age 35 or less. 30,000 "young" people are not even 10 percent of the entire group.
Well first, most of the people tailgating are going to the game. So 30,000 21 year old out of 71,000 seat stadium
that is a good %
i am also around people of all ages and have been a HS coach and scout
there are definitely less kids playing today than 25 years ago but that is mainly in the suburbs. Where mothers are afraid to let their kids play ball. And that is a small %. My local HS in Buffalo area has 800 kids. A pretty small school for national standards
but the football team is stacked with talent
in the city there is no shortage of kids playing football

Could be but I don't think we drafted 5 QBs between Edwards and Allen that started for us. Have we? I could be wrong about that.
Did he say 5 QBs?
if Edwards counted, it would be
1) Edwards
2) EJ
3) Cardale
4) Peterman
5) Allen
but Allen hasn’t even started yet

Well that's already wrong. Tyrod Taylor beat the Colts in his first ever start for the Bills in 2015. Ryan Fitzpatrick first start for the Bills was when Trent went down. He won the game against the Jets in OT. His first full start was the next game against Carolina, which he also won. How do people post stupid stuff like this without homework. (not you Corner, I am referring to Trey Wingo.) I mean he only had to go back 1 starter to see it.
Maybe he meant to say drafted QB?

Football is far from fine. I know lots of young people who have no interest in the NFL or college football. The impact is not felt because these people are not yet big spenders but when they hit their stride in terms of career their money will be spent elsewhere. Not on game tickets or merchandise such as 400 dollar team coats. The NFL is maintaining due to its older fans. You will see more dorky commercials by the NFL on how grandma is a Bears fan, sonny who moved to Milwaukee for work is a Packers fan, and his daughter who moved to LA for career is a Rams fan. The NFL is saying we don't care if you follow tradition we just want your damn money.
There are literally 30,000+ 21 year old kids at the grass lots every home game
there are tons of young kids into football still, especially in Buffalo

the end of career departures after 10 plus with the Bills I can accept.
I still love to hear when London Fletcher's and Larry Centers names are called out.
It seems Tasker was always a Bill.
Tasker was with Houston in 85 and the first 2 games of 86
NFL HoFrs enter as a member of all the teams they played for . So Shady would definitely also be a Bill , so Fletcher technically would be as well
1 minute ago, Koko78 said:He was with Houston. Once saw an interview with Tasker, where he said that Jerry Glanville asked him to intentionally fail the Bills' physical, so they could re-sign him with the Oilers.
I know he was with Houston. It was a steal of a move

AWESOME news.
#respect
Kent Hull, Cornelius Bennett, Darryl Talley, and Steve Tasker Bills lifers.
I loved both London Fletcher and Larry Centers but as part timers. It's different in a way.
Technically we scooped Tasker off waivers iirc so he was with another team and Talley went to MN and ATL after us for 1 a piece
just being that guy ?

I couldn't agree more.
I know the argument for NOT putting a special teams guy in there. Doesn't play enough, doesn't impact the game enough, perhaps, and so on.
There are 2 exceptions that make Tasker a legitimate HOFer IMO:
1) He wasn't just an outstanding player, he was the best gunner the league has ever seen, and the second best guy is a mile behind. That deserves recognition.
2) He had a knack for making huge, big, explosive, impact plays that altered the outcome of football games. Guys like that are very rare and worth their weight in gold when you find them.
He was every bit a critical piece of the 4 SB teams
exactly as you stated, he made big , explosive plays when they mattered
He is the best gunner of all time, and it isn’t even close
ask all the other AFC east coaches how much of an impact Tasker had on their gameplanes and how they hated playing him

Did you watch Wyoming a lot?
i watched every throw from Allen’s career after the season and I can assure you he had a bottom 10 line in D1 football and a paltry list of receivers
he was literally running for his life every game , almost every play...
they also ran , ran, and then finally threw on 3rd and long a majority of the year... they had a pourous line and played ball control football. He still managed like 16TDs to 6 picks behind a D2 line.
the year prior with a better TE and 1 good center and 1 WR he had 28 TDs .
I was very harsh of Allen because I’m a harsh coach/scout and I really didn’t want him over Darnold/Baker or Rosen
but I can’t deny what he did with Wyoming was remarkable. 90% of the real scouts and coaches I know and talk too loved the kids talent and had him as a top 6 pick... Maybe 10% were actually not high on him
his floor is actually pretty high with his athleticism... and I was wrong about that...
he will be much better than Peterman right away this Sunday
