I'm glad its over with Diggs. I do however wish him well because the guy made to many good plays in a Bills uni for me to just forget about everything him and Josh accomplished together. Diggs wants to win a championship and with Stroud he just might. It would not surprise me IF both Allen and Diggs are more sad about how a good friendship ended then anything. Daboll never seemed to have any problem getting good production out of Diggs and Dorsey was fired for a reason IMO. Luckily Beane made sure Andy Reid didn't get ahold of Diggs. I'm pretty sure Reid would find many, many ways to feed Diggs the football.

I'm expecting even more of a turn towards the run game. Both Brady and McD like to run the football IMO. The same can be said about Josh...

Agree, The grass was always greener on the other side for Diggs, go graze in Texas with your bro...

I have also made the same comparison. Short arms is Shakirs biggest weakness, and probably biggest difference from Andre Reed. Something OP pointed out in another thread If I remember correctly...

1,000 WR under Joe Brady in Carolina...

Some bad chemistry going on, I get it. On the other hand, one of the best QB's the league has ever seen doesn't have a WR1, or WR2. I sure hope the Beane head has something up his sleave besides switching to a run 1st O...

You named 20 1st pick overall QB's over a 20 year span. Arguably best signal callers in their draft class. (not always) The only two to win a Championship had nothing to with their original draft designation.

You expect 1st overall draft picks to become Champions when teams draft them. 10% of this list did. Eli bucked the draft system and Stafford waited for years until traded to the right team.

thanks for the good input Does league parody If this is what we are trying to accomplish equate to good entertainment. Its the collegiate star athlete that suffers the most with our current drafting procedure in my humble opinion.

Well I can tell you it wasn't from picking our 1st round QB in our designated picking order based on the previous season. We have Bills GM Brandon Beane to thank, not our current draft designation procedure. Pats are in transition. Did their designated draft pick ( Mac Jones ) fix the problem? No, it did not, and Brady is the GOAT Last season a cruise? Ummm, how about no, and why you might ask. Coaching change ( OC )

Interesting idea to combat tanking. Also sends a clear message to the owners - Hey guys and gals, do something different because what you are doing isn't working. Fix it, or sell to someone who can.

Thanks man The biggest problem I have with how the draft order is determined is we are sending the best players to poorly managed and coached teams. Its a recipe for failure IMO.

Making yourself look a little out of touch with the thread discussion. No worries, its all good... Do you know what the Texans and Bills had in common for the quick turn around? (Aside from great play at the QB position.) New blood/ new GM in 2021, new HC last season

I'm saying it was our GM and HC that changed everything not WHERE we picked in the draft. Same can be said for the Lions. Comprende?

The McBeane regime drafted Josh...

Bad teams already are staying bad teams for a long time. The Bills didn't make the playoffs for over two decades. So unless you want to call an 8 - 8 season good nothing changed until the Bills hired the McBeane regime. It had ZERO to do with the draft. ZERO...

Luckily for Herbert and Lawrence they can run well and throw while running. I was only 8 at the time and wasn't watching the NFL draft yet. Yes, watching O J play was awesome.

Since the two busiest posters in this thread can't even spell parity correct I commend you with this logical post. I fell in love with the Buffalo Bills at a very early age because of a charismatic and fun to watch RB named O J Simpson. Drafted 1st overall in the NFL Draft...

Lol, I love this idea, hahaha

Drought brain, lol, ok How about scrambled brains for all the good QB's ruined behind bad Olines. Piss poor management like putting Aaron Rodgers behind the Jets Oline. Lets ruin Zach Wilson since brainstorm idea number one doesn't work. Brilliant...

Answer my question, does Tom Brady win even one championship If he's drafted by lets say the Browns? Doubtful IMO Does Stafford wait over a decade to win a Championship If he's drafted by the 49ers? Probably not We have a system that sends the best college recruits to the worst coached and managed teams. The best players from the draft does not fix badly coached and managed teams. It does give enough reason for badly managed teams to keep spinning their collective wheels ...

Again, Bengals are a bad example and without injury to Burrow would still be drafting near the end of the 1st. Bad ownership and management is what cripples teams IMO. Did the Pats even need a 1st round draft pick at QB to win championships?

My system has not been tested. Teams losing on purpose to gain an advantage in the draft does not help the league from an entertainment standpoint. My system makes teams work to improve...

Good point, thanks

Without injury Joe Burrows and the Bengals in all likelihood would be drafting near the end of the 1st round. Bad example IMO. Trevor Lawrence almost makes my argument for me IMO. To good to be watching the playoffs instead of participating IMO. 9 - 8 record doesn't get the job done.
