Buffalo716

Yep he's super talented One of my best friends, was an Oklahoma Sooner player.. still a big time booster to this day he's more plugged in to the Big 12 then anybody alive I know... Dude bleeds sooner red and college football He thinks Hollywood is good but poor man DeSean Jackson and isn't the best off the line of scrimmage.. which limits explosiveness downfield when you get hands on him Obviously very talented... But he's not a top 10 or 15 guy in the league

Debatable Samuel is bigger, faster and catches a higher % of balls Brown has a cooler nickname and played with better qbs

That must be super old because DK has multiple thousand yard seasons LOL

Thanks for the memories tre day You will always be a Buffalo Bill

The fact you could compare the mccown brothers and Josh Johnson to fitz shows how little you really understand about professional football Those guys can't hold Fitz's jockstrap He has over 30,000 yards and 200 touchdowns while mainly playing with bad teams He has more passing yards than Cam Newton and Ryan tannehill Kurt Warner He's severely underrated

I'm not saying center isn't important but every line position gets paid more than center ... So the league certainly shows it's value by money It's physically the easiest position but mentally the toughest And lineman tend to be smart ... There is a plethora of options to groom NFL centers... Including college tackles who aren't big enough for the NFL

Need a dub tonight!

I figure you're joking but that was not the play

To be fair he has been top one or two on our team in special teams tackles for years All while being the most heavily guarded gunner we have by far I I found this picture years ago but it's too big too in bed here so I saved the Twitter link He's getting triple-teamed on the outside You will only ever see that on like two or three gunners in the world he's not Steve Tasker but that is Tasker level respect

I think it's wayyy to soon to hand a job to either of them ... Especially when competition brings out the best I have to believe that our middle linebacker competition last year really brought out the dogs in all of them I think rapp has the easiest track to a starting job... But cam is very versatile and a whole offseason at free safety and he might surprise us... He has range

JJ McCarthy is gonna disappoint an NFL team... He's very grounded and cerebral ... But he just can't put a team on his back

There has never been a professional football coach alive who thought sitting a rookie or Young quarterback was a bad idea if you could Never not one Even McDermott wanted to sit Josh Allen as long as he could behind Peterman... But he wouldn't survive a 0-16 season so threw Josh to the flames... He wanted to sit him Drew Brees sat .. Phillip Rivers sat for 2 years ... Eli sat half his rookie season #1 pick It does not hurt the development of any QB that is why coaches are willing to do it... Coaches today don't do it as much because they're on a short leash and will get fired But it's not bad for the player... Always been beneficial Bryce young should have been sitting last year... Learning from the bench and not taking 60 sacks He could have stepped in this year with 150 million in offensive line upgrades But he may already be ruined

What makes you say it was not as beneficial? Are you just looking at super bowl wins? Because that's not a quarterback stat.. it's a team stat Aaron Rodgers certainly had some faults in his game coming out of Cal Berkeley... Including some mechanical issues that left his deep ball lacking...despite his arm... Especially for the NFL level Aaron Rodgers certainly corrected that issue on the bench and became one of the best deep ball throwers of all time... He can throw it with juice back shoulder 40 yards down the field.. or put saucy touch on the ball and lay a perfect feathery deep ball Statistically he has the best touchdown to interception ratio of all time... And he has better postseason numbers per game than Tom Brady What he didn't have is a Hall of Fame coach like Bill belichick or Andy Reid... He had Mike McCarthy one of the most overrated coaches of the last 30 years The game certainly slowed down for Aaron Rodgers over 3 years on the bench and he statistically has the best touchdown to interception ratio ever for a decade long starter Sitting certainly benefited him

Over a hundred years in the NFL there are always outliers I never said mahomes is guaranteed to fail if he was thrown to the fire... I said there is not a quarterback alive who has never benefited from sitting behind a good quarterback Even Tom Brady sat behind Drew bledsoe and it immensely helped his game Aaron Rodgers sitting behind Brett favre immensely helped his game Josh Allen would be better if he got to sit behind an entrenched starter for a season... You get to work on things that you could completely refine without getting thrown to the wolves... When you get thrown to the wolves it's sink or swim Josh swam.. but he still has some little quirks as a quarterback that could have been ironed out if he got to sit behind somebody for a year... Under fire those quirks come out... But not getting thrown to the fire could have them corrected I've been to elite 11 quarterback camps, under armor All-American games, and some of the best quarterback camps in the country over 20 years I understand how quarterbacks think and get developed.. and it takes a team And the situation you are thrown into is a major factor... The bills might not have Andy Reid... But Allen had a plethora of knowledge around him A calming head coach in McDermott... A personal quarterback coach in Palmer... David culley was a division 1 quarterback...Daboll has been around some of the best coaches in the world...Ken Dorsey was a division one quarterback(even if not a great OC)... Joe Brady help develop the passing game at LSU when Joe burrow broke every record Allen, while getting thrown to the fire had a lot of people who could calm him and help him with the quarterback position... That's why he developed while getting thrown to the fire while most quarterbacks don't But sitting would have still greatly benefited him 100%

To think circumstances and situations don't play huge roles in NFL players careers is ridiculous Patrick mahomes got to learn from the best quarterback whisperer of the last 30 years... Then got to sit for a year behind a pro bowl quarterback Both 100% will benefit any professional quarterback Josh Allen got thrown into the fire with a mediocre offensive line and mediocre weapons... He was forced to sink or swim... Which has destroyed plenty of players careers Patrick mahomes absolutely needed his 1-year on the bench, which certainly helped his vault into the upper echelon of quarterbacks Football is literally all about situations.. where you go ,what coach you get... To think he'd be the same if he wound up on the cardinals or something It takes two to tango it's always has is always will... Tom Brady getting the greatest defensive Mastermind in NFL history absolutely was crucial to the first decade of his career Sure he maybe didn't need bill when he was 38.. he did when he was 24 Tyreek Hill called mahomes trash as a rookie lol sure he probably was over exaggerating... But he was speaking from what he was watching in practice He wasn't ready That's like saying Jordan poyer and Micah Hyde would have turned into all pros anywhere... No they're good football players who owe their accolades to Sean McDermott and putting them in the right spot Very few people like Bruce Smith or Myles Garrett can be successful everywhere

Dawkins has never failed a conditioning test at training camp You might not like how his body looks By the Buffalo Bills conditioning tests and standards he has never been out of condition despite how he looks... We get it you don't like him He's in the top seven for sacks allowed in the last 5 years.. he doesn't get burned all the time And you are grossly misinterpreting what I said a few weeks ago... Which was that offensive and defensive lineman can and do lose weight during training camp... The ones at their ideal weight use the nutritionist to healthily replenish everything... The ones trying to lose some weight.. lose 1-2 pounds a practice and replenish everything else I 100% said players replenish ... But not every player is at their ideal weight.. it doesn't mean they're out of condition if they can pass there test Some come in at at 350 and slim down to 330... Some come in at 330 and slim down to 315.. it's an issue if they cannot move and cannot pass the conditioning test It's been happening forever with bigger guys... I compared it to a boxer cutting weight and getting ready for a fight It's a huge problem if you come overweight and you fail conditioning tests... Dion hasn't failed a TC conditioning test

Buffalo superfan is a unique gentleman Look at his ranting in my UB football thread... He still won't let the Buffalo braves go

He wears that cuz there might be necrosis of the bone Which is wild that he is playing professional football People are going to be surprised by him with a full off season of being in the top four safety rotation... He's going to look a lot more comfortable with reps A very technically sound tackler... He can play Man from the safety spot.. and he's got a great sense for the game

Neither ever really got big contracts compared to their peers I don't think either where ever in the top 10 paid

he broke it 2017 which was his junior year And he was lights out as a senior

I spent a lot of time around the UB program over the last 20 plus years And cam Lewis was a tremendous football player... Not only did he start on the outside... But he displayed great tackling skills with good burst... Undersized for an outside corner he was tough as nails with an ability to play the ball UB had him lined up on an island a lot He played with a club for a while during his junior year and still was banging He's still relatively new to the safety position but I'm not surprised he is stuck around for over 3 years because he is a good football player Read my brand new post below yours He's also new to safety... He was playing on the boundary at UB for years battling with bigger stronger guys He's tough as nails and beloved as a UB bull

I thought the only stat that matters is the number of kids he could conceive

Josh Johnson doesn't have 30,000 passing yards over 200 TDs Fitz has more yards than Ryan tannehill, Cam Newton, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner

No ... But speedsters like Don Beebe.. and James lofton And DeSean Jackson... All kept their speed until they're 30s And none were as fast as hill

There is a difference between fast players losing a step... And world class speed losing a step Unless he has terrible lower body injuries... He's going to be able to maintain top notch NFL speed till he's 32-33 He's built like an Olympic sprinter and those guys can run till 30s Losing a step he'll still go from 4.3 to 4.46 lol still fast af
