No duh, it was obviously never about the flag or military according to the people who actually did the kneeling.

If memory serves, and maybe I'm getting old, but many people hated Watkins immediately upon having been drafted. Same with Manuel. Actually, same with Dareus now that I think about it. I have never exactly gotten the player hate aspect, but I do get the frustration around a team who for decades kept trying to punch its own dick off before any actual games were played.
Plenty of fans hated Gilmore immediately when he was drafted because he wasn't smiling.

Bad offensive line, old running back = no good

So you are aware Diggs was a 5th round pick. As was Tyreek Hill.
Absolutely, now go look through the vast majority of 4-7 players.

Once again its the VALUE of the picks!!!!
Draft picks past the third round have almost no value.

This is my last post on this, but I think the combine does show character.
Sure, it's about test scores. But it's also about how players go about the testing. How do they interact with one another? Do they want to excel? Do they want to beat their competition? Do they take a chance and put themselves on the line? Or do they say I'm not good enough today, check back in a few weeks when I'm in a familiar and comfortable setting and can bring my binky with me?
Players can choose to compete or they can choose to sit. Sure, there are plenty of examples of guys who DNP'd the combine and had careers in the NFL. But I think the Bills need competitors, not transactional players...
God, if only the college football players played games before hand to give scouts that exact information.

The fact that football fans take the combine this seriously is just hilarious. You guys bat a .100 every year and you still don't understand why, hell you don't understand that it's bad.

Yea comparing any rookie prospect to a HoFr is totally off base
And his grade doesn't even reflect that. I'm pretty sure Warner would be 8.0 perfect prospect or atleast 7.4 perennial all pro
Burrow reminds me of a more athletic Matt Ryan with less arm strength. Comparing any prospect to a HoFr is ridiculous, unless it's a John Elway prospect
Which he isnt
I hate making comparisons, but the guy you're using as a scouting report is comparing him to Kurt Warner. I disagree with those weaknesses, I also disagree with you saying Burrow isn't a John Elway prospect.

Joe Burrows NFL scouting report Lance Zeirlein
* Below average arm strength
* Scheme fit necessary
*Needs perfect timing for NFL out breaking throws
Not good negatives for the league. And I thought them all at 1 point

Explain the relavance for 2020 by looking at Offense stats from 2018 when the Line was Mills, Ducasse, Miller and Bodine, and the best WR on the team was Zay Jones...
Because they built that roster, unless you want to say the 2017 off-season was Whaley rather than Beane with no influence from McDermott. They've struggled to put together a talented successful offense so far. Will that predict the quality of this off-season? Nobody knows for sure, but it absolutely matters when judging them.

Why is what happened in 2017 or even 2018 relevant to what is going to happen in 2020?
How many new players on the team since then?
I think what happened in 2019 is more relevant to what will happen next year as the majority of players on the team last year will be there in 2020...
Ignoring the past is an interesting viewpoint.

Tyrod was so bad in 2017 that the Bills thrust Nathan Peterman out there.
Which means a talented kid like Mahomes would have been starting the 3rd or 4th week of the season when he wasn't ready and would have gotten killed on the Bills 2017 offense.
Mahomes would have been playing in 2017 and his career would be hanging on by a thread right now.
No Kelce's, no Hill's, no Hunts (when Mahomes first started) on that 2017 Bills team.
Tyrod was 9-6 as the starter in 2017, and even at his worst he was still better than Peterman. There was no need to bench him if they had a promising back up they wanted to keep away from starting.
They were looking to bench him, which was obvious throughout the offseason/season.

Sour Grapes. Rarely will a player ever say nice things about a team that didnt want him - Dareus, Sammy, Shady etc. The narrative coming from the players in the locker room is what I care about at this point.
I'm sure they're very salty about being traded to a team in the Super Bowl.

He put up good numbers but played far from "well", IMO
I personally thought the Ravens coaching staff were a much bigger decider in that game. Roman abandoned their successful style of play way too early despite plenty of time. Harbaugh's obsession to go for fourth and shorts, granted hindsight though.
I think it's fair to say Jackson didn't play well though, but he definitely didn't play like crap.

Allen was a better pick for the Bills then Jackson would have been. And IMO 5 years from now the this will be considered conventional knowledge. The Bills were not going to hire Roman at OC and were not going to build an offense to fit Jackson's strengths.
This isn't putting the Bills' coaching staff in a positive light. If McDermott can't hire an OC who can build around Mahomes or Jackson, then he isn't a good head coach.

You mean the Jackson that wasn't chosen until pick #32? Who played like crap against the Titans in a home playoff game?
Also, other NFL scouts/GMs whiffing on Jackson doesn't make Beane look better in comparison.

He played more than well enough to win.

No, it was a fireable offense. Which is why Whaley was fired and Brandon Beane was hired.

I don’t think that is the way it works.

Lots of room on the Bengals bandwagon in the meantime.
What a weird comment.

I'd trade Allen, pick 22 and next years first for Joe Burrow.
I'd give away my kidney to watch Burrow in a Bills uniform.

This team is undisciplined, like they're trying to lose.
Lmao, Tyrod’s gonna start another football game ?

People still out here criticizing Tyrod for not performing in a talentless offense designed for him to fail.
