Saw the car line up in front of the house too... he’s gonna be broke by 40
No way, Marquise is smart, well balanced, incredibly mature for his age. He willl hold onto his money more than 95% of the players in the NFL.
Quality guy, I wish all the best for him. Too bad it didnt work out in Buffalo, speaks to how terrible or QBing has been,not being able to remain healthy also hurt.
Not many better people in the NFL.

I don’t think this is right... the bills have well over 200 wins since the merger in 1970... don’t see how they have 110
(since realignment makes more sense)
could you imagine that would be an average 2.3 wins a season, even the Browns could "achieve" that

Hardly! ESPN QBR is a joke! IMO, it doesn't provide the true measure of an NFL QB's game and how he performs.
I have already corrected my error.
You keep bringing up he brought his team to the Super Bowl, yeah he did great. As I mentioned Tebow, RG III, Vince Young all had a great year or great moments, so what. The league figured them out and/or their skill seriously diminished.
He was also going to get a gig with the Ravens til his girlfriend likened the Ravens owner to a slave owner. And now he is suing the league, yep that is EXACTLY who i would want as my employee, someone that is suing me.

Once and for all drop the idiocy Kapernick was a good QB, yeah he got lucky for one year just like Vince Young did (rookie of the year), just like RG III did, hell even Tebow had a spectacular playoff vitcory throwing for over 300 yards......they were all figured out pretty quickly.

RIP Nick Clark
And so many look up to football players as "heroes", what a joke.

I almost think I'd rather hear "Talkin' Proud" over the Shout song. Both suck, but Talkin' Proud less so.
As bad as the Shout song is, laregely because most are sick of it, "talkin Proud" is just downright embarrassing.

I didn't like the way they tried to bring down his character to justify getting nothing for him. When he showed up late for game day their ego's became bruised so he had to go. Beane and McDermott handled the situation like rookie managers who wanted to make an example out of someone to keep everyone else in line.. I see it everyday in corporate America. If he was that much of a problem Marrone would not have jumped to get him. Good read sprinkled with BS.
You might be correct but I disagree.
You get paid incredible sums of money, you really dont have a lot of responsibility and you have what 20 games a year. One thing that is inexcusable is to show up late for a game/miss a bus or flight. He was already on the hot seat for past mis-deeds. Belichek put Brandon Spikes on IR because he was late for a team meeting (not a game) despite the fact he was caught in a snowstorm.
If Belichek had traded Dareus people would be saying how brilliant and tough Beiihek is.
IMO, they abosultely did the right thing.

I also think the Jets fans are much more rabid than are Gaint Fans. Giants fans are typically more affluent, white collar, very quiet, Jet fans are much more like Bills fans.
Jets haven't won a super bowl in 50 years, giants have won 4 since then.
List is a failure imo.

Go figure, top 5 teams have won a third of all Supper Bowls every played.
Look at the Bottom 10 teams, they won 6%.
then you have market size impact. Look at the bottom, all small markets (sans Rams when they are in LA). Then you factor in the socioeconomic disparities between the have and have nots.

I wonder what Dareus took to heart to say these sort of things after being traded to the Jags.
"The GM [Brandon Beane], if he walks to me, or the head coach [Sean McDermott], and tries to shake my hand, [I'll] act like I'm going to shake their hand and then be like, get out of here," Dareus told me Friday, miming a couple "too slow" moves near his locker.
"Head coach, GM -- f--- out of here. I ain't no f---boy. After all this, you're going to try to come shake my hand? Come on now. Don't try me. Don't do me like that. If you're going to do me like that, that's crazy."
Makes me glad we traded him. I didn't know Dareus said that, obviously very disappointing. I have some compassion for Dareus as he has had a brutal life and, and honestly isn't too bright. But he brought it all on himself, not like he couldn't see it coming after some of the trades they had already done with Watkins, no player that wasn't on board no matter what the talent wasn't safe. Trust the process.

Thanks for posting, Good read, i am not sure there is anything I learned just a lot of confirmation. Beane knows and enjoys what he is doing, treats people the right way. Speaks appropriate GM speak but does let you know a little inside. I love these lines on Dareus,
"“Marcell has talent,” Beane recognized. “We were really trying to get him to do things our way, every day. And I thought he took strides, but I don't know that we were ever going to get him there. So we just said, ‘let's see where it goes.’

Above was my first car, Toyota Corolla Tercel about $5,200 brand new, cheaper car on the planet back then, had plastic on the floor and no radio...never replaced anything but tires, filters, one battery after 120,000 miles i gave it away.

5-11 seems pretty reasonable to me.
My only difference is the Titans beat us and we beat the Colts, I think Andrew Luck wont be anything near what he was, they have a terrible roster and a potentially crippled QB. If you make those two changes to your predictions we start 0-8, the pressure to start J Allen if he already inst will be enormous.
-
If he starts at all (sans injury to ALM) I am going with 6. Start him after the bye week. But I agree with others. hope it is zero.

Should be a great match up for 1 year then Gronk retires and enters the WWE and XFL. Predicting it now.
I wouldn't be shocked if he decides to retire before this season starts. If I were him I sure would, what kind of mental/physical state is Gronk going to be in when he is 50, between his back and concussions, he doesn't have a lot of brain cells to spare. He has two rings, more money that he can spend, i am sure Gronk would rather act like a fool than continue to buckle under Belichek rule.

I liked how Tre White did against Gronk last season.
I LOVED what Tre White did versus Gronk last year BUT, 1) he could have been called with multiple pass interference calls...sometimes when a much smaller DB is doing it to a large receiver they tend to let it go more often and 2) Tre is psychically way over-matched, you just can't teach height. Edmunds is 6' 5 " with 34 1/2" arms, Tre White is 5 11 with 32" arms. Tre White give us 7" and 73 pounds to Gronk, that is a lot to ask.

It could be a brilliant matchup, I am just afraid Gronk doesn't have a lot left in the tank and Edmunds has incredible potential and talent but is very young and green. By the time Edmunds is "ready" Gronk may be on serious decline/gone.

Look, I'm not saying David Carr didn't take a beating. You saw it, I didn't.
The question isn't whether he took a beating, the question is whether any quarterback who would have been a true franchise QB failed to become a franchise QB because he started in the NFL sooner than was good for him. There is no evidence that David Carr would have been a franchise QB. He is just another QB drafted in the first round who didn't make it. There are a lot of those guys.
Now, your theory may be that he was so brutalized in his first season starting that he never recovered. Well, there's no evidence of that. What you're saying is that he was suffering from a form of post-traumatic stress disorder, that somehow his psyche was so damaged that after his first year he couldn't reach his potential. If that's true, why was he in the NFL for another TEN years. Wouldn't the coaches have given up on him sometime before then? Leinart didn't last 10 years. Vince Young didn't last 10 years. Losman didn't. Edwards didn't. The NFL doesn't keep guys around because the NFL feels sorry for them.
In his rookie season, David Carr led the league in sacks. He also led the league in sacks in his third year and again in his fourth year. If he had been beaten silly in his first season, wouldn't you think by his third season he would have figured out how to throw the ball away? Or his fourth season? Or are you going to say that he was so emotionally damaged by then that he just couldn't do it? NO BILLS QB WOULD SURVIVE THIS BOARD LEADING THE LEAGUE IN SACKS THREE OUT OF FOUR SEASONS.
Fine, if that's what you want to believe, but from where I sit it looks to me like David Carr is just like EJ Manuel - he couldn't figure out how to play QB in the NFL. There are dozens and dozens of guys like that.
But let's assume you're correct. David Carr would have been a Hall of Fame QB but for the fact that he started as a rookie. Give us another example, a guy we all could agree was likely to be a franchise QB and had his career irrevocably derailed because he started too early. If Carr is the best example, then I see no reason to be worried that Allen will be ruined by starting as a rookie.
1) You state there is no "evidence" Carr would have been a franchise QB, the you ask for other examples, any example I bring you can state the same thing, there is no "evidence" so what is the point. Asking me to prove a negative.
2) I never stated or even intimated Carr would have been a HOFer but if you want to exaggerate my comments to help "prove" your point, carry on.

Ask any NFL player this:
If a guy plays in the NFL for EVEVEN seasons and never succeeds as a starter, what does it say about the guy?
Every NFL player will tell you that he wasn't good enough to be a starter.
What are you trying to tell us? That in FOUR seasons as a starter after taking a beating as a rookie, Carr couldn't figure out how to be an effective starter because he was still afraid of the pass rush? That may be true; maybe he never could get comfortable in the pocket. What would Rickie Incognito say about that? What would Tom Brady say about that? What would Aaron Williams say about that? What would Steve Young say about that? What would ANY NFL player say about that? Every NFL player would say "suck it up."
If you don't have the guts to overcome the adversity that the NFL gives every player, every day, you aren't good enough to play in the league.
Living in Houston I , unfortunately watched a lot, lot of David Carr. His O Line was a joke and he often had no shot at success at all, The physical and mental toll on the man had to be enormous. Yes I understand the macho he isn't tough enough to play in the NFL crap but there are limits to the amount of punishment a man can take without having an impact. Listen to Aikman's (who you used as an example in your prior post) interviews sometimes about after his disastrous first year, he said he was close to quitting football.
Is David Carr an extreme example, probably hwe is just the most painfully obvious, are their other "David Carr's" out these, that never had the chance to succeed, probably we just dont know who could have succeeded and didnt. Forget all the "tough guy non-snese, what about the injury risk, the concussions, those are REAL concerns and I dont care how "tough" you are mentally. You told me to ask Aaron Williams , why dont you ask him why he stopped playing at the age of 26.
Ask Brady, yeah great analogy there. David Carr took more hits in his rookie year than Brady has taken in his entire career. Brady, Mr Tough guy in the NFL that often runs ways from players after they intercept his balls.

Good way to sell tickets, feed TO's ego and make a mockery of the team that does it. Maybe Jerry Jones should consider it, he has no dignity anyway.

A franchise guy is a franchise guy, and won't be "ruined" by playing a year behind a bad OL (and besides, Josh has already played two seasons behind a horrid OL). I am a firm believer that QBs get better by playing.
Ask David Carr.

The website certainly can be improved but i go there for numerous things.
The videos, where else are the collected and saved, the press conferences, interviews, game previews and highlights.
The depth Chart, the Bills organization chart.
OBD would be crazy to shut it down and they wont. Almost half the website is dedicated to merchandise and ticket sales and I certainly don't blame them.
Bills will win the division this season

If Allen were to be rookie of the year then yes I think we would probably win the division.
As for Edmunds and rookie of the year, I think that would be a borderline miracle. He turned 20 two months ago. Look up his scouting weaknesss,
Add that all up he is going to have a very difficult rookie season. A savvy QB like Brady is going to play fake him and misdirect him to death.
