  1. Don't think he is a bad quarterback by any means. He is probably right outside the top five at his position when all the pieces in Dallas are rolling. Without Zeke his record and stats are essentially akin to someone like Andy Dalton. In the right circumstance I think Dak can get a team to the playoffs consistently and win you some playoff games, just not sure he will ever be a top five player at his position. Knowing that if I were the Cowboys I'd trade him now and bring in an older quarterback who they can pay less and get a similar result from. Dalton would be a good fit there for a lot less money. They need to look at teams like Oakland, Minnesota, and Detroit and learn from them paying Quarterbacks who were above average to average players like they were elite. They paid out their butts to get virtually nowhere.
  2. Is this really your honest opinion? Because if you honestly believe this you should seriously look into getting your frontal lobe tested. I am not kidding. If your honest opinion sounds like a comic book theme you are either hyperbolic or seriously needing of professional help.
  3. If I am the owner there is no way in hell I allow the lame duck coach and GM to make any moves at Quarterback. I would let them see what they can do this year with Stafford and if it continues to be a dive I would clean house next year, including Stafford.
  4. Yes. Is in the prime of his career, and is coming off of back to back 1,000 yard season. Huge catch radius, and a legitimate deep threat to go with his size
  5. How dare you assign gender roles!
  6. I think Reagor is a better prospect. Just a good comp in terms of size and speed. You'll like the tape when you dig in I promise.
  7. The median family income gave me chills for Buffalo, 34,000 with the sort of taxes we have in WNY, yikes. Its option 2.
  8. Yeah, for sure watch Reagor and your opinion will change. He is probably a late 1st to 2nd round guy, but man is he explosive and he provides a team special teams ability as well. He needs to get better in the blocking game, and he has inconsistent hands, but his catch radius for a smaller guy is impressive. Reminds me a ton of Curtis Samuel. He doesnt give a team much in terms of an X wideout, but he can play the Z and the Slot easily enough. Runs smooth routes, releases really well at the LOS, great body control on contested catches, and is exceptional with the ball in his hands. The thing I really loved about his speed which I find unique is its not just straight line I run the "9" really well speed. Its both vertical and horizontal, he simply doesnt slow down when cutting. Has the "cut on a dime" make guys miss speed. On Lamb, I call him Mr. Consistent. He does everything pretty well, just dont see him as elite. The problem he may run into if he doesn't have the speed element at the next level is he may become a one dimensional possession guy. He runs good routes, but he does get bumped easily when going across the middle because he is thin. The difference between he and Brown is the latter is built like a mack truck, and is extremely physical.
  9. I dont mind Higgins. I get the concerns about his long speed, but his release at the LOS is good enough and he plays with a lot of dog. I am through about 18 guys so far, just the game tape and analysis, havent gone through and given them scores yet. I was surprised with a couple players, specifically thought Lamb is really consistent but for me his tape doesn't jump out at me like Ruggs or Reagor. Lamb is a very consistent player, great hands great route running but something is lacking for me when I watch him. I don't think he is going to kill the combine, if he is smart he wont run the 40 until his pro day because I dont think he is going to run much better than a 4.45. Another guy this board loves is Shenault, I get that he is a swiss army knife at 6'2 220, just not quite as impressive as some of the other guys around his rankings. He isnt a blazer at his size, he does have incredible hands, but he is inconsistent in other areas. I dont think he is going to be the type of guy who can make explosive plays at the next level. Good contact balance, shifty, but the lack of explosive speed is a bit concerning. Have to see what he does at the combine, his team definitely made it difficult to discern some of his tape. I am incredibly impressed with Henry Ruggs III, he is the most dynamic player at the position in this draft. He really does it all, hands, routes, out of this world in the open field, and incredible blocker for a "smaller" wideout. What concerns me is his size, he is listed at 6'0 190, but I have a feeling he is going to come in shy of that. If thats the case you need to move him down because its likely he wont be able to play outside in the NFL. But at this point I have them ranked like this. 1. Jeudy 2. Ruggs 3. Lamb 4. Reagor 5. Higgins 6. Shenault 7, Collin Johnson 8. Pittman Jr. 9. Brandon Aiyuk 10. Denzel Mims 11. Van Jefferson 12. Justin Jefferson 13. Chase Claypool 14. Tyler Johnson 15. Donovan Peoples-Jones 16. Gabe Davis 17. K.J. Hill 18. Isaiah Hodgins His hands are impressive, I agree there. I was just surprised at his lack of explosion for a slighter guy. I am not sure if it was the Auburn or Georgia game, but his blocking against linebackers was maybe the best bit of blocking I'd seen by a wideout this year. I just worry about all the movement he wastes at the LOS, he needs to get off the ball clean because of his lack of elite speed. It did work for someone like Stevie Johnson though, so ya never know.
  10. Really? What stood out to you? I watched his tape and thought he looked thin and slow, and wasted a ton of time at his release from the LOS. Hell of a blocker though, Ill give him that.
  11. Did one on draftek with trades today. Be pretty happy with this outcome if it were to come to pass. 20.Henry Ruggs III WR, Alabama 54.Trevon Diggs CB, Alabama 80.Cam Akers RB, Florida State 137.Nick Coe EDGE, Auburn 168.Chase Claypool WR, Notre Dame 170.Shaquille Quarterman LB, Miami
  12. Albion, NY. Got the service back and have watched a bit of the second game, as much as the wife and kids would allow. Pretty good football.
  13. Honestly was very excited to watch the game. Spectrum cable is out in Albion since 1:30 so no dice.
  14. Never got the Rome shtick. To me he and his callers always came across as giant goofs who used the fact that they made a bit of money to come across as tough guys. The most nauseating thing he had going on was when a caller wouldn't identify himself by name, job and yearly salary. Terrible show.
  15. Gaine was in Houston when they drafted him. I think he and Dareus will both be out in Jacksonville to help save money for Ngaekou. Had a down year last year so could be had at a decent price. I'd be game to see if he could start across from White.
  16. Never thought the Bills would make a move on him anyways. He is a good player, but for the money he is going to get I didnt see the Bills being in on him. I'd gladly give a 5th or 6th round pick to the Jags to take a shot on A.J. Bouye for a couple years. Help them clear cap space, and add a possible starter across from Tre White.
  17. I like the idea of a temporary tag. However, I also dont love the idea of a player having essentially complete power to go where he wants. Something like this will not be good for small market teams, it turns the NFL into something like they have in the NBA where you know who will be in the Championship at the start of the year because stars end up pooling together in 2-3 markets.
  18. I am going to watch on Saturday. Thinking about the DC Defenders as the team Ill watch, but won't know until the season starts.
  19. Id bet the over. 8-8 should be the basement for them going into next season. If Brady leaves they should be a 11-12 win team.
  20. Haha the losers keep failing and now trying to promote a video of a guy trying hard to not let out a fart as evidence of hypocrisy. Say hi to Jayz and Beyonce for me.
  21. I dont disagree Evans best route was the 9, however if he played with guys who had better ability you may have seen more from him. Pittman is a good player, but he isnt going to give you the speed like Moulds or TO. More of a Jordan Matthews type.
  22. I dont see the schedule as that hard. A lot of that depends on what happens in NE, but if Brady bails then you'd expect the Bills to be the favorites in the division going into the year. The names of the teams on the schedule seem daunting, but they all have questions to answer. Chargers- Who is their QB? Does Tyrod or a rookie beat the Bills? Rams- Goff will be a starter for another year. Steelers- How is Roethlisberger going to come back from a full year off at 38 years old? Cardinals- Will Murray be better in his 2nd year? Broncos- Will Lock continue to be decent? Titans- Who plays QB for them? Raiders- Do they have someone new at QB? If not does Carr scare you? Then you play the Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots (maybe sans Brady) each twice. Not saying they win 13 games, but getting to ten again is doable if they play as well as they did this year.
  23. Completely disagree. I think Evans is one of the most underrated Bills players. He had two thousand yard seasons with J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards as his quarterbacks. He is the third leading receiver in terms of wideouts in Bills history, and he was a better player than guys like Stevie Johnson and Sammy Watkins who this board seems to revere.
