  1. In McDermott's defense the LE has to be able to play some 5 and 6tech. I could see them going Gary, if he's there. Polite would have to play LBer for the Bills. I really think the player people are sleeping on for the Bills is Baker.

     

    I'd bet they have a top five on defense similar to this.

    1. Simmons

    2. Gary

    3. Oliver

    4. White

    5. Baker

    That’s the only point I’m making, Kim is one of the most powerful women in the NFL, the same NFL that has an image problem which stems from a small handful of idiots hitting women.

     

    No way she signs off on this guy and I totally understand why.  She represents change, why would she sign off on something like that then have others paint her as being a part of the problem?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    They were mum on McCoy and that "home invasion."

    Brett Favre thinks the Eagles should stick with Nick Foles over Carson Wentz moving forward.

     

    The Packers legend says he thinks highly of Wentz but values Foles' proven ability to win big games

    "Nick Foles, to me, is more of a (Tom) Brady-esque-type quarterback," Favre said. "Very limited in what he can do but very, very good in what he does. He's a pure pocket passer, and he's great at dishing it out, and he's proven that he's clutch ... he's proven that he can win the big games. That, I think, is what we have to look at, or the Eagles -- it's about winning, it's about being clutch, doing, really, what you expect your players to do. And he does it as well as anyone."

     

    If you actually watch the games this is what you see. Foles is a quick reader of the field. He will do well in a quick pass offense like the Pats run. He'd probably be better then he's shown in an RPO offense.

    Right, and having owners that won’t sign off on drafting him is one of those consequences. Someone will draft him, he is a 5 star recruit and had a good college career. 

     

    If all things hold true and McDermott is true to not backing down like in the fight with the Jags I don't see how McDermott will hold this against Simmons. It was a brawl, not a one on one beating that would have gotten him charged with domestic violence. Now you make a good point about the Owners and in that case I could see them blocking the pick. He's the perfect fit for their defense though.

  5. Just now, CommonCents said:

    Did you watch the video? 

    Yes. It's nothing to stop him from being drafted in the top 10 IMO. He's never been in trouble before or since. Again his mother and his sister have been fighting with the family next door or a couple doors down for years. The kids all fight each other. She is a 30 year old woman not his girlfriend who he can't keep his hands off.

    Maybe watch the video, a woman has the girl on the ground and his holding her by her hair, I’m not sure who he was protecting at that point. As the woman holds the girls hair big Jeff comes in and punches the motionless one  17 times in the face and head. Then the other woman tosses in a nice punch and a kick. 

    It was a 30 year old woman who has a dispute with his mother and older sisters. He was 18. I wouldn't hold this against him at all.

    The same Jeff Simmons who pounded on a girls head with his fists while she laid helpless on the ground? Do you really think one of the most prominent women in the NFL is going to be ok with that? 

     

    I have a better chance of boinking Brittany and Christina at the same damn time. 

    Wasn't it a fight in which the he was protecting his mother from the girl? It wasn't like beating his girlfriend right? His mother was being beat and he pulled the girl off and smacked her a couple times right?

     

    I'd draft him at 9.

     

    Also And I know this wont sound right but the Bills number one problem is they are and have been soft. They need a couple fighters on defense and at least one dirty player at Oline. IMO.

    The Eagles could still place a franchise or transition tag on Foles before the 15-day designation period ended on March 5 provided he buys out the option years

     

    https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-making-sense-of-nick-foles-contract-with-eagles-and-what-happens-next/

    They should. For two reasons. 1. Wentz is cheap. 2. Trade market could get them at least a 2nd or it's equivalence.

    Yup Im petrified of NickFoles.

    He read an article.

    No I watch the games.

    Did I miss something about Davis unretiring so that the Bills could not clawback his bonus?   That was your argument  back in Septembe wasn't it?  I 'm still waiting lol.

     

    But anyway,  back to the original argument that you try to make about Foles being the better player.  There is no objective evidence for that You just keep bringing up vague arguments about "catchable balls"  or even the absurd comparison of Wentz to Flacco .   If his ball were more catchable ,  wouldn't that show up in the QB ratings somehow?   

    I believe I said he could say he's injured not unretire.

    Uhh...not even close...Wentz already has two seasons where he has a QB rating 10+ points higher than Flacco's highest season, has a season where his Yards/Attempt is higher than any of Flacco's already and has almost a 1% higher TD percentage and a 0.6% lower INT percentage...he also is much more athletic than Flacco...He also would have been named NFL MVP if he hadn't gotten injured two years ago, something Flacco has never even sniffed.

     

    But yeah, other than that they are the same player...

    Again the offense he plays is tailored to the QB having increased stats. And the rest is IFs.

    That wasn't what I meant. That is what the Saints did on Sunday. They got ahead shut the run game down completely, went man for man with their best DB on Jeffrey and then played zone around it and asked Foles to read the defense and make accurate throws from the pocket and he couldn't do it. No the INT on the final drive wasn't on Foles but the Saints were playing not to give up the TD on that drive and were letting Foles have some of the underneath throws. What about the other drives in the 2nd half? 

     

    I like the RPO I think much more than many of the other offensive fads that have come from college in the last decade the RPO is here to stay. But I am not convinced you can build an effective offense that is heavily RPO reliant. To me it should be a tool in the toolbox. I think Foles without it is a below average QB and that limits his ceiling somewhat for me. 

     

     

    Fair enough.

    Nah.  I just have  a problem with awful takes.     The Vontae Davis comment was meant to show how you have a tendency to pull stuff out form where the sun don't shine.

    Nah. It was meant to distract from an argument you can't make. It's typical. Also, where was I wrong on Davis? I'm asking. Is/was there some outcome aside from what I argued?

    ? - He was banged up this year and struggled (although his stats were good), but last year Wentz would have been MVP if not for the injury. It's way too early to be passing these judgments. 

    The offense he plays in is designed for the QB to do well. Look at Mahomes, Luck and Trubisky. Wentz is a good player. I think in this offense Foles is better.

    What about when Foles is asked to play in a conventional drop back offense without the RPO? To then he looks confused, holds the ball too long and his accuracy gets spotty. I think he has played pretty average in the two playoff games this year, though he had a couple of really good games at the end of the regular season. To me if you commit to Foles you have to commit to the RPO not just being a part of your offense but being the basis of your offense. That was the way he had his very good season under Chip and that is how he has performed best for Pederson too. I think the RPO is here to stay but I don't think it on its own is a basis for a whole offensive scheme. To me Wentz gives you much more flexibility offensively in terms of what you run going forward. I just think he is a more talented Quarterback. Foles is a system guy.

    Why would you do that to him? Are you a bad coach? Teams that force players to fit a system are badly coached.
