Agreed, that was very hard to watch.

This is basically coach speak for not having a number one receiver. It might work out just fine at that position, but I don’t think a coach with a clear number one says that.
I disagree.
Listen to the Taron Johnson interview how he loves the challenge of never knowing what type or player/who he will be defending, if Brady can pull it off, it will make of Offense very hard to cover while improving our defense in practice. Similar to what Belichek was also striving for on Defense, make as many players interchangeable as possible.
Will Brady be able to pull it off? It will be difficult, could be a tremendous success or massive failure. One of the reasons why, i believe, that Buillls are always targeting smart players/team captains, people willing to put in the work.

You're technical expertise is way beyond me, but I think you're assuming that Brady has a style, and that style is what he learned in NO. My understanding is that at LSU, with those receivers, the style was different.
I'd bet if you asked him, he'd say what McDermott has told him: Play EVERY style. Run, pass, balanced, inside, outside, explosive, west coast, everything.
It's true that most people revert to things they're comfortable with, and that may be what Brady will do, but I don't think that's what McDermott wants.
Interesting. And as you think about, Allen's maturation and the fact that the QB has to be the leader also meant that Diggs had to reduce his leadership role. I doubt he liked doing that, and that may be why saw him increasingly unhappy.
Precisely, it was almost inevitable as Allen matured.
I dont think it is simple minded coachspeak about Allen and his more dynamic leadership role thus far in TC.

I agree. I wrote something a month ago about him. When they got him, Bills loved his energy and commitment. They didn't understand that what happened in Minnesota is chronic with Diggs.
He is a true dog. Teammates love him for his fight. Problem is that sooner or later, he turns that fight to his own team. Houston should plan on two good years from him, but then they'd be wise to move on.
It also has to do with the maturation of Allen as a team leader, especially this year with so many younger players.
Diggs was here at the right time, as Josh was evolving into his role as the team leader, initially he was best buds with Diggs, more or less on the same level. As Allen matured in his role, he couldnt any longer be his best buddy, he had grown out of "that role".
I will bet Diggs is in Houston one year. The wr diva will emerge, not sure he will be able to control his ego and be "under" a 2nd yr Q!B and HC. He signed a one year contract which is all I think he stays in Houston.

THE ABSOLUTE NERVE
Is this exchange for real? Supposed Bills fans bickering back and forth about close to nothing in an otherwise positive upbeat thread.

This may or may not be a story in 5 years. I think Allen’s point in his career he earned a bigger leadership role. The dynamic with Diggs is more a place of brothers and equals. Idk if that relationship would be sustainable with Allen having a larger say than Diggs in how he wants routes and plays he likes. They did great things together and in a few years this is likely water under a bridge.
This is very reasonable, makes sense. Seems like it was a matter of time if Allen continued to progress as a leader, more so this year with a substantially younger roster.

Insightful interview by Taron, I am starting to get the advantages for both the offense and the defense without have a set static X Y Z assigned receiver corps and threw in the mix the interchanging RBs. This is why you have to have SMART and dedicated football players. One reason why the Bills have drafted to many teams leaders/captains. Listening to Taron it is easy to tell how intelligent he is.That is a LOT of work for Brady to put together.

I know the safeties are largely interchange, but Cole Bishop behind Rapp was interesting.
Rookie versus veteran, makes sense to me.

Flat tax is too easy and cost effective, never happen.
imagine all the tax consultants and overpriced lawyers would be put out if business .

I'm not saying there are fewer smarter people in the NFL so much as I am there are more dumber ones everywhere
"more dumber ones everywhere" is not a good look, JFYI

The best has to be Otto Graham, no? If I'm not mistaken, he's the only Browns QB in the HOF.
Winningest QBs in NFL history:
Graham... .814
Lamonica... .801
Mahomes... .771
Brady... .754
Jackson... .753
The Browns are kind of like the Bills - a bunch of great RBs but not many great QBs.
But Bernie had his moments.
Otto Graham, for his era, was easily one of the greatest QBs of all time, no debate about that.

Usually when a team makes 3 AFC Title games, they're not dismal.
If you want to think Bernie Kosar was some great QB that is up to. He had ONE great year and the rest were sunk in mediocrity or less but that is my opinion.
Hoping for the best.

Wow. He was a top QB in the AFC for 4-5 years, 3 AFC Title games. One of the best deep throwers ever, very smart QB.
Wow.
He made one Pro Bowl, he lost more than he won, never throw for over 4,000 yards (granted a different era). Mediocre starting QB on mostly dismal teams.

I believe to be even considered for a transplant you need to be able to show youve been sober for 6 months. So he must be off the booze for a while to be on the list.
Again I hate to be cold, but with Parkinson's he should be at the bottom of the list, Parkinson's is irreversible and degenerative.
-
After a while with concussions and seizures, you would think a rational person would call it quits way before he did. Reminds me of our current leader.
As a football player, I found him boring that stayed with the game way too long (obviously), reminds me of so many mediocre QBs the Bills had during the drought on terrible teams.
I hate to be cold but I cant imagine with Parkinson's he is no where near the top of the list for a liver transplant.

That was a comically bad call, quite possibly one of the worst in NFL history. U "understand" what the ref "THOUGHT " he saw but even if he was directly beating on the Patriot with those love taps you never make that call.

Schoen had no choice regarding the Barkley situation. His big mistake was the Jones contract in the first place. How do you look at that guy and think he is the answer for the franchise? But he did, and now he's trying to support him.
Agreed, he was basically put in a no win situation, to me it is like extending a long term Tua contract.

My honest thought is Minnesota has a 6-11 type year where the record looks bad but the back half JJ finds his groove a bit and they are in most games. I think if they start Darnold it is a mistake given the supporting cast they have for a rookie to learn with.
Vikings certainly are intriguing.
I could make the argument they are a 4 or 12 win team. They have all the pieces and drafted a nothing but winner QB with a national Championship. He might either turn out to be Brock Purdy or Brian Brohm.
I could certainly see them starting Darnold but dont dare let him get entrenched beyond mid season.

Cole Bishop: bold having a late 2nd round rookie penciled in as de-facto starter.
Von Miller
understand people mentioning Bass, Rousseau, Epenesa, and Elam, i think all will bounce back or continue to improve,

The way i see it is like this......the QB tier
* 1st tier......Mahomo, JA, Burrows, LJ
* 2nd tier......Cousins, present day Rodgers, Purdy, Stroud, etc.
* 3rd tier......Lawerence, Tua, Prescott, etc.
* 4th tier........everyone else
If Miami wants to pay a 3rd tier QB as a 1st tier kind of money, have at it......it's good news for Bills fans and bad news for the Fins when they cripple their franchise.
I agree with your rankings overall, present day Rodgers is a massive ?. I have never been sold on Lawrence. It has been one year but I think CJ Stroud is the real deal, not thrilled about some of his recent comments but the media need clicks, seems like a quality guy. The Texans will be a team for the Bills to compete for in the next few years seriously.

1- I look at the dolphins as the cowboys of the AFC
2- I hope Dak and Tua both get to reset the QB market as a Bills fan it’s a win win for me
3- GO BILLS
Dolphins have the 5th year option and they can franchise him next year and the year after ,if I’m not mistaken just like Washington did with cousins
Those are terrible options imo, why Kirk Cousins has been so overpaid and the same thing going to happen to Dak Prescott.
Some Dolphins news on this Friday..

I agree.
Of course with Tua concussion and injury history, the risk is massive, glad the Bills weren't forced into such a decision a la Allen.
