Exec's that have survived cut the cord quickly. With the capital invested that is not an option. Beane and a lesser extent McDermott are both liable. If Allen busts and Taylor leads Cleveland to the playoffs they never hold the same positions in the NFL again.

To be worst I feel high expectations needed to be had. Todd Collins was god awful and suppose replacement for Kelly. Troup because only the 2000's Bill's could pass on drafting local boy Rob Gronkoski. He played like a rookie 7th rd pick. When late rd picks play as rookies they are what they are IMO.

Seems like they broke up he wants her out of his house. Got lawyers involved and a day before a court hearing this surfaced ?. With what happened in Philly a few years back McCoy will get a game or 2. Regaurdless of facts. I would talk to Cleveland about Duke Johnson or look into finding an all purpose back as insurance. I don't really believe the allegations because of the circumstances but in today's NFL guilty until proven more guilty.

Rosen vs Allen. Do you want ceiling of Farve or ceiling of Ryan. Ones a hall of fame super MVP the other remains to be seen. Give me Farve all day every day. Good defense and a few big plays wins games and early.

He is incredibly talented. Comes down to what kind of kid he is. Poor academics are one thing. Is there any other off the field things? Can learn an NFL defensive scheme? For a 3rd with Buffalo holding 2 4ths I think it's a reasonable gamble. I expect multiple teams put in picks for him, comes down to rd and positioning.

Yes. Ironically, he is a browns fan. Most of my family are Bill's fan. The first game I went to was Buffalo vs Denver. Elway vs Kelly.

A tie goes to Allen. He routinely puts balls, and makes throws the other QBs on the roster can't. I don't see where his negatives out way his positives. Unlike Mike with Edmund's, Allen has to work for the job, show he is one of the guys, and become the unquestioned leader. After TC comes to a close everyone will agree Allen gives the 2018 Buffalo Bill's the best shot at winning games. He doesnt need to be Aaron Rodgers. Young Big Ben with this running game and D Buffalo could surprise a lot of people.

McCarron or Peterman needed Allen to shrink under the pressure of playing with the first team. From everything being reported that has not happened. A tie goes to Allen. So far McCarron or Peterman have not run away with it. Some mock my prediction of Allen being named before game 2 of the preseason. So far nothing has shown me that wont happen.

Still stick with my first guess. Before preseason game 2 Allen is officially named the starter.

They don't make them like Edmund's. 6-5 250 Mikes that run like dear are unicorns. He could become a generational player. You go with the freaky athlete and teach him how to be great.

A contract year. I expect Benjamin to ball out. Over 10 TDs, over 1000 yards. Imo all Buffalo is lacking is a complement Wr with speed. Think Carolina, Buffalo needs that Ginn type of guy. Someone who has deep speed, that can push safeties and zones back.

They pretty much are. The rare occurrence of mid 20 something former first or second rd pick or top 20 QB on the open market, they set the market for their position. Mario was never the best DE in football. Even with the Texans. Early on they could see Jj Watt was a better player. Now for what Buffalo was getting they got top 10 De numbers. Expecting more than that, you were setting unrealistic expectations. I would argue Fitz was given an appropriate contract. If he was retained he takes one of those Marrone or Rex teams to the playoffs. Besides being a first rounder or earning a second contract the other contracts are performance based. Not sure what the OP is referring to?

I think Buffalo adds another WR before camp. With that said I think Allen starts week 1 or takes over by week 3. I think Buffalo could really do a what Pittsburgh did with big Ben as a rookie. Defense, running game, Allen make 2 plays a game.

If he was throwing picks and looking bad it would be all over the place. If Allen had a day similar to Mahomes, the media that thought Allen was a reach would crucify him. Lets just face facts. We are all homers here. We are talking Buffalo Bills football to strangers on the internet 730 in the am 100 days before the season.

Sims was in NE when Dabol. I enjoy the Simms and Lefkoe podcast. Simms pulls some very good info from time to time. Simms liked Allen alot. He thought he was the most pro ready and would start way sooner then the media was projecting. The part that makes me believe its more than just a big arm in shorts thing, was him saying its very similar to Wentz in Philly. Its everything hes doing, not just on the field. Coaches, players everyone is buzzing.

The open practices are going to be the most clear. I would say easily half of the media members that follow the Bills were against his selection. They want to prove their own intellegence. So far no peep. Even some forced praise. Allens strengths are apparent and easy to see. His accuracy knock are not as severe as they were protrayed to be. I think Allen starts week 1. And preseason game 1 he is announced as the starter.

Primetime games. Overall, team wealth and value. No differant than college. As a proffessional athlete you want to be at the top. Some colleges have better facilities than Buffalo.

With NE built into the ground its my understanding there are a number of issues that will never be solved that would bring it to state of art.

Removing an executive is not an inexpesive endevor. The Pegulas found reseason to fire Brandon with cause. Not sure but assume that will cost them nothing vs forcing early retirement or buying his contract out. The transition may have accured a year or 2 early but not unexpected. Bringing in someone on the outside to hold the position for a year makes no sense, nor does promoting someone just to remove in the near future.

Not alot of quality on the market in late May. Barring trades or June 1st cuts what you see at Wr and Oline is probably what you get. Kendricks would be an immediate upgrade at OLB. Alexander, and Humber are old. Edmunds, Malano, and Vellajo are young.

Big fan of shady. I honestly think this it, unless he restuctors at the end of the season for less. 4 mil cap savings. Draft a runningback next year or see if Bell makes it out of Pittsburgh.

This to me is terrible logic. Obviously, Watson was the better Qb and no reason why he should have took all those snaps from Watson in Tc and Preseason. It took Watson about 3 weeks before he was rolling. If he had those reps early he would have gotten to playing at a higher level sooner. After the first preseason game Watson was the better player.

Imo the people that are high on Allen think that the can play early. Just like anything Buffalo once 1 or 2 people create a narrative the other player pundits run with what they believe is the prevailing opinion on a subject they dont know well. The moment Allen gives the Buffalo gives just as good a chance to win as any other Qb on the roster he needs to start. Yes, he will make some mistakes but he will also learn and improve. The sooner Allen wins the job, better for the Buffalo Bills.

The accurate comparison is Ken Dorsey. Both played at huge programs at a time you could argue each programs peaks. At the end of the day look at the investment. Aj MCcarron is guaranteed nothing more than so-so back up Qb money. Buffalo trade two seconds to move up 5 picks in the draft for Allen. Everyone agrees the future is Allen right? Now in terms of the competition. In my opinion Mccarron is going to have to play near perfect to hold off Allen. Allen can make the chunk plays and wow plays that Mccarron can not. If its close you go with the rookie and get him as much experience as possible so he can learn and grow so the future can come sooner. There is a reason Vegas believes Allen will play the most games. There is a reason Allen has the third highest probability to win ROY. Thinking Allen is going to play is not an indictment of Mccaron, its human nature and sports in general to go with the young more talented guy over the veteran.

Who cares about Rosen? Hes smart, Allen had a higher wonderlic? So what measure of intellegence are we using to rank the Qbs by? Or are we going off the guy's word who tells everyone how smart he is? Now I have zero issue with Rosen as a prospect or individual. I thought he could be a good fit, but there were multiple Qb starved NFL frachises that did not believe he was the best QB prospect. Rumor has it Buffalo outbid Arizona for Allen.
