Doc Brown

Beane at least to me has followed this strategy and his draft process has always been fine. QB, MLB, DT, WR, DE, CB are all premium positions he used first round picks to obtain. The problem is in the scouting department. I remember Cody Ford being in the 20 to 30 range on most big boards and mock drafts before the 2019 draft. He may have been there "aim high superstar" talent that they traded up to get when he slipped to the second round. Boogie Basham was another pick where they thought they were getting great value at a premium position.

2019 - Exceeded expectations. Going from 6-10 to 10-6 was impressive given we didn't have a true #1 WR yet. 2020 - Exceeded expectations. Offense came out of nowhere. Two playoff wins. No shame in losing to the best Chiefs roster in Reid's tenure. 2021 - Fell below expectations. Especially the defense. Going 11-6 and then the 13 seconds debacle despite being mostly healthy was disappointing. 2022 - Met expectations given the injuries and unprecedented off the field issues. If we were as healthy as we were in 2021 then we would've won the whole thing.

I think he's a consistently above average left tackle who was his old reliable self this season playing all 19 games. I'm guessing the Bills are more than satisfied with contract wise as his cap hit and annual average value is 14th among left tackles.

Let him walk. He's an average QB who can run. I'm sure you could get someone like Marcus Mariota for a fourth of the cost and would still pry produce similar results under Daboll. I'd be aggressively trying to move up to get one of the top four QB's in this draft. That way you get a QB on a rookie contract and can then aggressively build around him.

Dane's a restricted free agent as his rookie contract was terminated when he was cut and then re-signed to the practice squad in 2020.

Something tells me if this was true we would've seen Tua in the playoffs. The NFLPA player survey had the organization ranked 2nd in the league in terms of treatment. Darn you for making me defend the Dolphins. I don't trust Ross though and I especially didn't like Flores. The way he put Fitzpatrick in to relieve Tua was embarrassing and not how you develop a young QB you spent significant draft capital on.

It was a sarcastic joke. Direct TV is slowly going into extinction. Losing Sunday Ticket only accelerates the process.

Look. Once this "streaming" fad ends you'll be sorry. Also, technically the 2023 NFL season doesn't begin until March 15th so nobody was lying.

How do you know that? I personally would jump at season tickets even if they were double what they were now if I knew I was getting the same comfortable indoor weather every game. I'm not paying for seasons with the possibility of being cold and miserable when I can be just miserable watching from home.

You never know what will happen with the seemingly increased number of weather events around here lately. Eventually players and fans will respond with their mouths and/or pocket books. There's conversations about adding a roof to the Jags stadium due to complaints about the heat. With enough of a public outcry to spend the money to put a roof on it some politician may pounce. Just curious because they put a roof a few of the tennis courts at the US Open. It was 180m to put a retractable roof on Arthur Ashe stadium. Maybe more Seneca casino revenue to be collected to pay for it.

For the engineers out there, when they realize in 15 years they made a massive mistake not putting a roof on.... how hard would it be to just add a functioning roof to the stadium? Was there any thought to that option in the design?

You base your feelings on some guy's opinion? Why, what he'd say?

No. He was third behind Diggs and Davis. He was under drafted as he pry should've gone in the third round so I do have hopes he can develop into an effective slot receiver. Development is the key though It's still imperative to me we draft a WR that has the potential to be a #1 in either of the first two rounds. You look at some of the best WR combos in the league and it's for the most part an established highly paid #1 and a recent first round draft pick on his rookie deal (Brown/Smith, Hill/Waddle, Samuel/Aiyuk, Jefferson/Thielen). Lockett and Metcalf both signed deals that kept their cap hit last year low and Chase/Higgens are both on rookie contracts. Going all the way back to Moulds and Price. We had to move on from Price because he was looking for #1 WR money and found it with the Falcons.

This may have been answered already but is his real name Bruce Nolan?

KeyBank would pry be the blueprint. I got a kick out of this tweet.

The free market (under a socialist salary cap system ironically) will sort this out and you don't need to separate QB contracts from the cap. The more these QB contracts blow up in teams faces the less likely some franchises will be to shell out Kyler Murray type money.

There may be a certain stubbornness to Lamar also with wanting to prove that he negotiated this record fully guaranteed deal without needing an agent. If he gets it from the Ravens or some other team. Good for him. However, I already think it was incredibly stupid to even set foot on the field last season without the security of a long term deal that will set you and your family up for generations.

Players made some comments that they don't like them (bulky, feel top heavy) as they look ridiculous. They have to make the look and feel more palatable first.

There are no valid comps which is why firing him now would be absurd. The closest I could come up with is Marty Schottenheimer. Defensive minded head coach with elite weapons on the offense (Tomlinson, Gates, Brees/Rivers) that went 14-2 only to be fired after losing in the divisional round. Granted, he never won a playoff game with them despite three straight playoff appearances. The same can't be said about McDermott.

Agreed. McDermott would need a down year. Dungy got fired from TB after going 9-7 and being embarrassed by Philly in the WC round. It would have to be something similar to that (or worse) barring an injury to Allen for Pegula to even consider it. Yes and no. You'd have a lot of tools at your disposal for immediate success. However, if you fail you could be a one and done. See Steve Wilks and Nate Hackett.

I'm willing to forgive. See below.

I just find it annoying. Stick with your first jersey number as fans pay a lot for rookie jerseys. Plus, I get confused. There were a few times this year that I got pissed at Jerry Hughes for showing no pass rush ability like I’ve become accustomed to. Then I realized it was Boogie Basham and it all made sense.

Vikings traded up for Dalvin Cook. Saints traded up for Alvin Kamara. Jets traded up for Bryce Hall. Do it in the 2nd round I guess.

You've got to be willing to trade up and down. Philly traded up two spots to land Devontae Smith because they knew he was the last of the three WR's in the top tier. They pry don't regret it. Meanwhile, we traded down twice to select Cook acquiring two extra sixth round picks. One happened to be used on Christian Benford.
