Logic

Sounds like Chris Simms feels the same. His quote from the above video? "Ass, legs, big arm..he's a man crush of mine". ?

What's crazy about Josh Allen is that he has top two or three all time physical abilities at the QB position AND off-the-charts intangibles. Often times (though not always), great QBs fall into one camp or the other. Brady and Montana had insane intangibles and smarts that made up for their average athleticism. John Elway and Steve Young had such tremendous athleticism that they often dominated with sheer physical superiority. Allen has a great head on his shoulders AND insane athleticism. He has absolute All-World potential. He has a long, long way to go, of course, but he has the potential to go down as the greatest quarterback in Bills history.

This. In fact, Frank Reich told Jim Kelly when the Bills played the Colts this season that the Colts were running a ton of the same concepts and plays from the K-Gun and that it all still works.

This seems like a good hire for the Jets. I can't find an analyst or writer or knowledgable person anywhere who has anything but glowing things to say about Douglas. Even though their ownership still stinks and I think Adam Gase is a bad head coach, they now appear to have a quality GM and a good quarterback. As a Bills fan, I don't like that. I would have preferred if they had landed Kirk Cousins in free agency, not drafted a QB, and then stuck with John Idzik. Instead, this whole "good GM and franchise QB" thing is really gonna mess up the "Jets continue to be a tire fire" narrative for me. Darn it.

For me it's the disgusting, low quality food and poor sanitary conditions.

Two things drive me nuts, and they both involve people being inconsiderate in vehicles: Why do people park in such a way that turns two parking spots on a curb into one. I live in a neighborhood with extremely limited parking available, and every day, without fail, there is at least one vehicle that has parked dead center in a "two spot" area of curb, effectively turning it into one luxury spot for their stupid car. Why do this? How hard is it to pull up an extra 5 feet to ensure that others can park behind or in front of you? To do this, you must either be so self absorbed that you don't even notice, or so selfish that you don't care. Either is bad. The other is not using your turn signal when driving your vehicle. Again, how much effort does it take? The flip of a pinky? It is crucially important that the vehicles around you know what you will be doing with YOUR vehicle so that they can react accordingly in THEIR vehicle. This one reeks of total self importance, laziness, and just generally being a bad driver. Lack of consideration in vehicles drives me nuts.

I agree. But if, in the interview, McDermott was talking about OTAs, then those are the 4 guys currently starting, since Zay and Beasley and Brown are either not there or not on the field.

If you look at who is out on the field right now during OTAs for the Bills (McKenzie, McCloud, Roberts, Easley), it's pretty smurf-y.

Even if we say a 3rd round pick, it's still a "no" for me.

......That's a shame.

People don't think he's going to be had for a 7th round pick or something, do they? If you want the Bills to trade for him, fine, but are you ready to give up a 1st or 2nd round pick? Top 5 franchise LTs don't come cheap.

ED OLIVER'S ARM IS FALLING OFF EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

A roommate of mine had a pitbull for about 8 years. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, 99% of the time he WAS the sweetest, gentlest, most playful dog around. On the other hand, there were times when he would display a really intense prey drive and go after my cat is if he was going to kill him. Now, obviously a dog going after a cat is pretty normal, natural stuff. But like I said, the ferocity and suddenness with which he would go from "playful and sweet" to "trying to kill" was pretty wild. Rarely, there were also certain human visitors to the house that, for whatever reason, he just didn't like. His demeanor became rather scary around these people, as well. At the end of the day, I stand by the notion that the most vicious dogs I've ever met have generally been chihuahas. Nasty little buggers!

Is it illogical to think that a gun should be harder to obtain than a dog?

It would be peak 2019 America to make it harder to get a pit bull than an AR-15.

Me too.

There can't be any accuracy to this. The media are a bunch of know-nothing fools who wouldn't know a football if it hit them in the eye. Oh wait, they said something GOOD about Buffalo?! I take it all back. The media are a bunch of intuitive, well educated prognosticator's whose opinions I greatly respect!

Yes. You nailed my feelings pretty well. Wrestling SHOULD be a variety show. It's why Nitro in its heyday was the best show going. Cruiserweights, technical wrestlers, brawlers, talkers, managers, stables, valets, the whole deal. When an entire card features only Spot Fests, it gets boring. Likewise, when an entire card features only 'roided up, oily WWE guys like Randy Orton or Batista, it also becomes boring. If AEW mixes it up a bit more, I'll be more likely to watch. They did an okay job at Double or Nothing, but as I said, a little too spotty for my taste for much of the card. Overall, the direction that wrestling is going now is positive, in my opinion. I just don't want the story and the ART of it to get lost. NJPW, for instance, does a phenomenal job mixing workrate, high spots, art, and story. They're the gold standard right now, in my opinion.

I hear you. If I were to pick an offensive player, Hopkins might well be the guy. For me, as a matter of team building philosophy, edge rushers are simply more important than receivers. I completely understand the logic of wanting to optimize Josh Allen's game by giving him an elite target. I just feel that the top four positions in terms of long term, sustained success in the NFL right now are QB, LT, EDGE, and CB. We already have (hopefully) three of the four locked down. We just need the elite edge rusher. Really, though, you can't lose with any of these guys being mentioned in this thread.

You cheated.

If you want to win consistently, you need a quarterback, you need to PROTECT your quarterback, and you need to hit the OTHER team's quarterback. Since the question states "non-QB", I was left looking at either offensive tackles or pass rushers. When looking at the Bills roster, I have more faith in Dawkins/Ford to form a quality offensive tackle duo than I do in any of Buffalo's EDGE guys to be impactful past 2019. With that being said, I choose Myles Garrett, EDGE. I thought about Mack, but Garrett is five years younger and actually had MORE sacks last year than Mack. Getting an elite 23-year-old edge rusher would really put the Bills defense over the top. Might have chosen Aaron Donald instead, but I have faith that Ed Oliver might make that choice redundant.

Cody and Dustin told a great STORY in the ring. That match was unimpeachably great. If I have a critique of most of the other matches on the card, though, it's that they didn't always make sense. They didn't always tell a great or even logical story. I'm an old school wrestling fan, I guess, but non-stop "spot fests" do nothing for me. No matter how cool your arsenal of moves is, if there is just a CONSTANT barrage of insane moves and no-selling, everything loses its impact and specialness. I need a story, I need logical progression, I need quality selling of moves. Just doing a springboard reverse death valley driver followed by a 450 splash through a table does nothing for me if I don't care about the guys in the ring or the story they're telling. My major critique of modern wrestling, be it ROH, NXT, or AEW, is that I need a little less "sick moves, bruh!" and a little more logic and story and feeling. Cody and Dustin is the perfect example. It was not chock full of revolutionary maneuvers or cutting edge offense, but you BELIEVED it as a viewer. You were right there with those guys, feeling what they wanted you to feel. THAT'S pro wrestling to me. I'll give AEW's next major card a shot and will keep tabs on them. Between ROH, NXT, AEW, and NJPW, fans of work-rate wrestling have perhaps NEVER had a better selection of stuff to watch.

Personally, when it comes to housekeepers, I think it should be proportional to how difficult their job will be once you leave. For instance, if I only stay a night or two and don't leave behind a bunch of trash or other gross things, I'll just leave a dollar or two. If I stay for FIVE days and leave behind pizza boxes and full trash bins and piles of towels, I'll leave a $5 or even $10 if the situation warrants. Really, ALL tipping should be proportional. If I store a few bags for a guest for the day, a $2 tip is sufficient. If I store an entire CART worth of heavy luggage, valuables, etc, $2 becomes less reasonable. I used to deliver pizzas, same thing. If I travel 2 miles to bring you one pizza and some wings, a couple bucks is fine. If I travel 7 miles in a snowstorm to bring you two sheet pizzas, two containers of wings, and a few 2-liters, $2 is no longer appropriate.

I'm about half way through "Double or Nothing". I downloaded it and am watching it when I have time. I was/am completely unfamiliar with AEW's product. I know of Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks, and I am aware of their attempt to create a viable alternative to the WWE. I'll tell you this: From what little I've already watched, I DO believe they could pose a threat to WWE. Their mission statement ("The PEOPLE own wrestling") and their stated goals of providing medical benefits and better conditions for their workers could wind up causing a lot of WWE wrestlers to want to jump ship. John Moxley's defection may be the first in a long line of them. The thing is, some real competition is EXACTLY what WWE needs, and is what may FORCE them to break out of their slump. It's infuriating that they're even IN a slump, since they have one of the best total rosters of talent ever seen in the wrestling industry. They just can't get out of their own way. They poached all the best indie wrestlers from all over the world...just to push them down the card in favor of Shane McMahon, the Miz, Baron Corbin, and the corpse of the Undertaker. Sad.
