I'm not sure if he has any one of the guys on the roster directly in mind. More of a growth mindset that the Bills always talk about. It's something he could easily say at several positions on the roster.

To be fair...it's only unpopular because it's a terrible move. Both logically and financially. Literally couldn't be a worse idea. Literally.

A pie chart may have convinced me.

I wonder if after all the vets we jettisoned, the league may view Jets/Dolphins as the week 18 AFCE game that could be for playoff seeding division ect. That would likely put us against NE instead in the final week.

He's no Gibran Hamdan. He's Gardner Minshew with muscles.

If I had to guess and this is PURE speculation... I'm betting the Bills have 2 different standing offers to him. One is to return as a player, possibly in a diminished role with a salary that reflects that. The second would be as a member of the coaching staff as an assistant in some capacity with the DBs. McDermott has spoken on him as a potential future coach in the past but Hyde not being ready for it as he felt he could still play. My guess is that Hyde is weighing the doctor's advice concerning his injury against his desire to be on the field. Maybe he takes an entire year off to see where his body's at but at his age he doesn't have time on his side. I feel we see him back is some capacity next season either as a role player or on the sidelines with a cap and whistle.

I wouldn't call it actively tanking. More having a long term vision. I do think Payton is arrogant enough to think he can win some games with a guy like Stidham.

Yea, not going to dispute that your logic, reasoning and thoughts are spot on. They are. The NFL in 2024 is all about the QB and if you don't have one...ya gotta get one. Unfortunately, there is sometimes a spot where sound logic, reasoning and common sense don't translate to what teams do. I believe this is one of those times. Here's where my thoughts differ. I think Denver views this year as a mulligan season. They weren't overly active on the FA QB market even though there were some affordable options there. The only QB in on a top 30 visit for them that is known is Penix. I think there is a strong possibility Sean Payton is going to roll with Jarrett Stidham and a later round rookie QB for one season as they retool this year and get back to a healthy cap number next year. Getting a Penix or Nix this year does very little other than wasting a year of their rookie cap number on what could be a very down year either way. Stidham will run the offense the way Payton wants. But he will also keep them in contention for an early pick next year. That's where their QB of the future is IMO.

It's a good fit. But as much as everyone wants to mock a QB to them, I strongly feel like Denver goes in a different direction than WB round 1. Guess we'll see soon enough.

Says in the announcement that his future is still up in the air. Also says he's not "currently" with the team. Wonder if he has a handshake with Beane that is pretty much a "Hey if you're playing next year let me know and we'll get a deal".

Nice mock, Alpha. I'm of the mind that Denver does NOT go QB in RD 1. Feels like they may be a sneaky team for a WR after moving Juedy and Sutton being possibly on the way out. Or if the Jets choose Odunze over Bowers then they may grab Bowers. And I believe that Penix will slip to round 2, yes even past Seattle. I can totally see KC moving to the mid to late 20s for OT help. Great call. All in all, good work with solid reasoning.

True it would be something that needed further inspection. And I'm almost sure that this information that is new for us is not catching any NFL GMs off guard this morning. By now they have had time to dig deeper if there were concerns.

Weird. Because you compare those hypothetical made up players to a player with diabetes. Then go on to say that no one would draft your made up players in the first three rounds...but players with diabetes HAVE been drafted in the first round before. Off the top of my head Jay Cutler and Patrick Peterson happen to be 2 examples. And please note: I didn't call you ignorant as a person. I said you may be ignorant of the treatment of diabetes. Big difference. A really smart person like yourself should be able to see that difference.

Comparing someone with Type 1 diabetes to the extremes that you list... including being an amputee... doesn't make you crude, crass or lack empathy. It makes you seem rather ignorant in the management of diabetes. Not all disability is the same. But to further answer your question...that 5' or 340lb QB...what's their tape look like? That kicker that has 1 arm...how's his leg and what effect has having 1 arm had on his ability to put the ball through the uprights? Do you have any context for any of your far fetched hairbrained scenarios....or are you just flat out saying that anyone that doesn't have A1 medicals and isn't typical is less than?
