For the people saying he is fading the second half of the season, can you please point to the first half of the season the guy had to justify saying that? He makes absolutely no impact, none. He doesn't do anything well. Time and time again the guy gets to his gap just in time to get blown up by the guard and watch the running back slide by him. He is too slow to cover anyone, and not strong enough to shed blocks. Seems like a great person, but I am looking forward to not having to watch him play next year. He should be making his money when the runner gets to the second level, instead he is trying to shed a blocker and watching Hyde and Poyer deal with his mess.

The linebackers have been below average at best. Preston Brown is ungodly slow and makes very few impact plays. They need a new ILB and OLB for next year to move Zo back to a situational pass rusher only. They may as well not have played with linebackers yesterday. Through the line and directly to the third level.

Or you end up with Deshaun Watson, Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, Phillip Rivers, Russ Wilson...should I go on with the list of players who were highly productive in college and won a lot of games and have become good NFL quarterbacks? There is no formula its the luck of the draw, just have to pick the player you think will be the best. For me that would be the guy who shows the most evidence of that.

TBD reasons for not liking Baker Mayfield: Hes a drunk He wear his jersey too short Big 12 Quarterbacks dont play against good defenses Hes Johnny Manziel Only reaaons not to like Baker Mayfield: Hes short He plays in a spread offense Meanwhile Ive read people tell me how great Lamar Jackson is. No crystal ball but Mayfield has been incredible to watch this year. Best Quarterback in college football.

Saw Jalen Hurts as a starting quarterback in the NFL and stopped reading. Cant believe he was paid for this.

Yes to this 100%. Jusr get there worry the about the rest afterwards

The only way he ends up in New England is if virtually no one else puts a waiver claim in on him. He doesnt get to choose where he goes unless he clears waivers.

Seems like he and Zay are almost identical type of wideouts. Have loved his attitude and is obviously a pros pro but my guess is they would keep Thompson over him at this point.

Thank you for sharing that, had never seen it. Love that old guard of NFL coaches. Probably shouldnt like Parcells that much but youre right, great story teller.

Not at all my intent. Was purely trying to say out of all the games left we should focus on the ones which are winnable.

You can believe anything you want my friend. I understand wanting to believe they can beat the Pats, that somehow this year is different and the Pats are vulnerable but fact remains Brady is 25-3 against the Bills thats a 89% win pct. If you want to put your belief in an 11% chance be my guest but dont get your feelings hurt when it doesnt happen. Beat the Colts, Chargers and Dolphins.

They screwed the pooch losing to the Bengals and Jets. I think 9 gets them there this year but beware of a late year surge by the Ravens, I know it sounds crazy but I imagine they will be the toughest competition for the 6th spot. Anyone thinking we will split with the Patriots, please stop. Bottom line is you have to beat the Colts, Chargers and Dolphins twice. Thats the most feasible way to get it done.

It was clear both teams agreed to the trade. It should have been processed. Almost as dumb as suspending a guy for six games and having it put on hold three different times. If I am the Browns I am appealing

Came into the season in the conversation as a number one overall pick, he absolutely busted out. But he is probably the only quarterback who has the legitimate excuse about not having talent around him, he needs to stay in school. If we trade multiple picks for Rosen Id be incredibly unhappy.

Rosens 4.5 yards an attempt was a thing of beauty before the finger injury. Cant win games. Rudolph should have been considered the number one QB from the start of the year and now its obvious.

Ive gotten to the point in this thread where I no longer know who is being sarcastic and who isnt

That was a pro bowler. He hasnt been to a Pro Bowl in going on three years. He hasnt been a third overall pick in going on six years. The reality of the situation is they got a pick back for a malcontent that hasnt played well in over two seasons.

Go look at the list of picks they had that year. They were able to make the trade and still have a draft.

Exactly, no misdirected hate here but my God people what exactly did we win with Watkins, Dareus, Darby etc? You would think Beane is blowing up the roster of a team who has won multiple championships not one that hasnt sniffed the playoffs in nearly 20 years. Get a QB, bottom line. Do everything you can to get a QB and let losing teams worry about who is playing Defensive Tackle.

Because they took the draft picks Kelly got them in blowing up the roster and moved up to pick Wentz.

Should have never given out a 100 million dollar contract to a DT in the first place. Especially a lazy one who is prone to making horrible decisions. Like how Bills fans are delusional yet you are making up scenarios where Watkins would have been an All Pro this year if he had just stayed with the Bills. The reality is this, Watkins is exactly who he is a decent wide out and Dareus isnt worth 100 million dollars.

A 2nd are you kidding?

Have to agree here. I opened the article expecting to see something egregious and found a pretty common saying.

Dont love the channel but still watch College Gameday for a bit every Saturday morning. I think they do a hell of a job with shows like SC Featured and 30 for 30. Their programming changed a lot with the errosion of journalism as a whole. Shows like the Sports Reporters, Outside the Lines, Sunday Morning Conversation and even those Make a Wish type features they did on SC had a lot of content in short spans of time. Now you get hours of programming where no one says anything remotely thoughtful, just quick takes that make headlines but have no lasting power outside of scandal. They made a huge mistake where they went from focusing on the story to focusing on what someone thinks of the story.

I agree Tyrod is better than the WGR whiner line gives him credit for, but writing an article like this ignores the fact that many Bills fans are already aware that Tyrod is probably a good bridge quarterback for a rookie to learn behind. Should the Bills keep Tyrod next year as their starter, yes they probably should. But it should in no way keep them from drafting someone who could potentially be better than th 19th or 20th best starting quarterback option. His win % was exactly 50% at the start of this year, thats fine for a backup, lets see where it stands at the end of the year. Holds the ball longer than any quarterback in the league (3.14 seconds) thats an eternity in the NFL Takes too many sacks waiting for the wide open option His scrambling ability makes up for his lack on antcipatory skills in the passing game, but lets not kid ourselves because he had a great game last week, he is downright horrid to watch at times.
