  1. we burn through QBs so fast nobody actually knows if they can or cant play.    Tyrod is one of the few that got at least 3 years of starts,   thats how we knew he wasnt the guy.   he had enough time to prove that he wasnt.    and yet theres some here that think he didnt get enough time.

     

    then we get to the people who think Peterman is done after 1 all time terrible game,  and a grand total of 2 starts.     mainly because he was a 5th round pick.

     

    much logic in this fanbase.

     

    its more than just the player,  its many things that lead to whether a player is a success or not.

     

    many many QBs who had all the measurables,  failed due to things beyond their control.

     

    could care less whether Peterman plays again or not,  the point is,  people write off others all the time for no reason at all.   and it will never change,  due to the fact that humans beings only see what they want to see.

  2. i want to be excited about this league.   but i have this feeling it will fold just like the others before it.     i love football,  i dont love it enough to watch substandard players play it.

     

    canadian football,  meh

    arena,  couldnt care less

    XFL,  i watched for about 2 weeks,   garbage football for hyped up fratboys.

    USFL,  best of them all,   succeeded for a short time merely because it actually had NFL caliber players playing,  but ultimately still failed.

     

    so how does a fledgling football league get people interested without the best players playing?

     

    felt the same way about this past winter olympics when it came to the US Mens hockey team.    NHL players werent allowed to participate,  who the f cares then?   i personally wanted to watch the best play.

     

    mbe some brilliant marketing guy can give us a reason to watch this league.    not holding my breath.

     

     

  3. NFL draft is the ultimate crap shoot,  there isnt one  real analyst/evaluator that truly knows what these kids can do.    history has proven this over and over again.

     

    so getting bent out of shape about what will or wont happen is a waste of time.    Darnold could very well be the best QB in this draft,  goes to Cleveland and becomes a HoFer,  or turns into Tim Couch.

     

    so many moving parts,  from coaching, team around the player, personal abilities,  luck,  timing,  etc etc etc.

     

    football is the ultimate team game,  and zero people in this world can look at all these parts and make an informed decision thats 100% correct regardless of how much they know about these prospects.

  4. i listened to him being interviewed live,  and i must say,  he either was bored,  sleepy,  or hes dumber than a box of rocks.

     

    not saying he definately is,   but that was a terrible segment to listen too.

     

    if hes our starter day 1,  ill support him till he doesnt deserve it anymore,  but this particular interview didnt leave me feeling like our QB situation has been resolved.

  5. not sure where all this Bruschi is an idiot stuff is coming from.     hes usually right,  and  everything he said about Rosen is a potential problem.

     

    not sticking up for Bruschi,  could care less about him.   just find it funny the hate for him.

     

    he mentioned the other day that he loves everything the Bills have done recently and he was impressed with the past season as well as the moves this off season.

     

    actually one of the few who objectively looks at teams.   dont find him to be much of a homer.

  6. why cant OJ just fade away already?

     

    he shouldnt be given the time of day at this point.

     

    although,  when i heard he believes he has CTE,  didnt surprise me.   makes you wonder if the violent outbursts/lack of control associated with the disease played a role in his past actions.

  7. for the people complaining about this contract vs keeping Dareus,  you forget the most important part,   Dareus wasnt reliable.  end of story.

     

    mbe we overpayed a bit for Star,   but his career is about availability.   something Dareus couldnt accomplish.     Dareus was talented,   when he played....

    Would like for this to be true as far as the trade piece, but I doubt McCarron goes somewhere that looks like they are going to draft a QB high this year. 

    thing is,  McCarron is running out of places that need a starting QB.

  9. get the feeling that Rodgers has about had it with the Packers FO.     How can a team be so cap strapped and have so many terrible players?    Follow the Pack a bit and i believe they have wasted at least 5 good years of Rodgers' career with dumb personnel  moves.

     

    no secret #13 is starting to dislike his coach.   firing Van Pelt upset him.    definately a team on the downswing.

     

    Jordy will find a home.  wish him luck.

    Ultimately those two guys don't win you a Super Bowl.  Watson would.

     

    I recall that most of this board last year was big on Deshaun Watson.  When our pick came up at 10 and he was there this board lit up.  Then we traded out...................

    bit early to declare Watson a sure thing yet.  4 games....

    Shhhhh.....  Some people here were disappointed with the playoffs as it cost the Bills position in the draft and set the franchise further back.

     

    The idea to pay market value for marquee positions is upsetting to some.

     

    The idea of 300 yard passing games and excitement on the offensive side of the ball is anethma to many here.

     

    a stout defense & 13-10 wins is their idea of success.

     

     

    cmon,  even when Sammy was healthy Tyrod had trouble finding him.

     

    rmbr when Sammy got upset at his number of targets?

     

    Tyrod to Sammy worked a few times,  not enough to be game changing.    was it Sammys fault,  no it was on the QB.    but the revisionist history here makes me smh.

     

    Sammy was tossed because he was unreliable,  and was going to want more money than he deserved at the time.     front office got what they could and moved on.   Sammy still needs to prove consistency over a period of time.

     

    KC  overpayed for a receiver with his history and an ok rebound season with the Rams.   

     

    theres alot going on with the NFL career of Sammy Watkins,  some good,  some bad,   some his fault,  some not.     is he a perennial 1000yrd 10 td guy?    no.   10mil/yr guaranteed for what hes done?   meh.

    Why would you fine the players for doing something good? Every player should kneel during the anthem to protest this disgusting rathole of a country.

    please,  dont turn this political,  i didnt say i personally would fine them.   

  13. while i applaud Kap for his conviction about parts of society he disagrees with,  he wont be an NFL starting QB anytime soon.     the owners are still trying to figure out a way to get the players to stop the kneeling,   and they wont,  short of fining them everytime they do it.    Kap is a headache no team needs, regardless of how dire a QB situation is.    its gone beyond whether or not he can play.

     

    he made a stand for something,  good or bad,  and like most people who throw the middle finger at authority,  authority fights back, and the person who went out on a limb gets bent over multiple ways.

     

    if youre gonna start a fight,  u better make sure u can win it before u start it.
