you would be surprised how quick you can find threads/posts/members with the search function and it would save all the sifting to boot. some may not be savoy enough to use it, obviously with so many duplicate threads on one subject. I found an article in less then a minute.
I don't think all the complaining is going to change anything so try the other avenue, search
You're missing the point about that.
Let me ask you a question...of the people that actually read that Joe B article...how many of them do you think came on to the message board without having known it existed and said "hey, I hope there's a Joe B article on Josh Allen today, let me search for one!" Most, if not all, read it because they saw it posted either as a new thread or within this one after it was merged. And I would bet that of that group, most saw it when it was a new thread.
So if someone just came here to look for some new, interesting stuff...they would have had to sift through 6 pages of this thread to find it. And maybe the mods of this board want it to go in that direction. I'm not on here everyday and don't post a ton so they certainly won't care if I leave, but I think they'll start losing some good people if it goes down that road.

This is ridiculous. How can you find content if you don’t know what to search for? For instance I clicked on the article because I thought the title sounded interesting. I came here to look for subjects that are interesting.... I didn’t come here to search for Josh Allen, so I never would have found this thread.
The mods here are pretty cool and generally do a very good job. I hope they side with logic, as opposed to giving into the preferences of some long time members
Bingo. For obvious reasons, that part wasn't going to get a response from that person.

Rule #1. Use the search function.
I do it every time I create a thread.
Discussions can be had for example in one Josh Allen thread.
When certain people refuse to post in another persons thread ...... it is actually quite sad.
In February I started a Bills cap salary thread and this person started their own an hour later.
Truth of it ...... it is a better experience because of it.
Do you know how many hundreds of pages and thousands of posts there would be in 1 Josh Allen thread if everything was condensed into it? It seems like you have a lot of time on your hands to sift through all that, which is fine, but to ask everyone to do it seems crazy. Just because a thread is about a player doesn't mean it's about the same subject matter regarding that player. With a new thread created about new content on a player, you can see up front if that's something you want to click on. And if not, it's a split second decision and you can keep scrolling down. Your way would require for everyone to sift through so much stuff that they might not be interested in to find any kind of new info.
If you want to talk about sad...it's trying to stop people from having the experience they want on this site just because it's not what you want. Nobody's trying to stop you from posting something new in page 13 of an existing thread just because it's not the way they want to do it. My opinion of course, but I don't think the other side of the argument comes from a place of narcissism, whereas it seems like yours does.

I am concerned that the moderators on this board don't know what an interview is. Joe Buscaglia didn't interview Josh Allen in his article... we all know that right?
My guess is that was more of an effort to appease the Thread Police.

I'm relatively new here and don't post a ton so it probably doesn't mean much...I'm probably like the equivalent of a Ray-Ray McCloud on this board, if even...but disappointing that a post like the Joe B one got grouped into this. I fear this board is going to go down the road of boards that have 1 set topic for each player with 400 pages attached to them and people either stop coming or have to spend a lot of time sifting through all the pages to find new info and insight. And all because of a faction of people dedicate themselves to complaining about new threads being opened when they have the option to post something new on a page 34 of a thread if they want to.
But anyway, good article. I agree he played with inferior competition but I do still think he's got some issues, especially on some of the shorter and intermediate throws. That might sound like it's just "coachable" but there are many QB's who are never able to clean that up. There's a feel for the game that's involved when deciding when to rip a ball and putting some touch on it, and only the elite few can process that in a matter of a couple of seconds.

Simply breaking the drought ultimately won't mean anything.
The fates of McBeane are completely tied to Josh Allen. If he's a bust, they will and should be out of here as another failed regime.
If he's the real deal...I'm on board with anointing them whatever you want to.
-
Not surprised. Chris Brown is just as big of a rat as Russ was.
-
I didn't know anything about Losman at the time but I was excited because I hated Bledsoe and was excited we were moving on from him.
I was angry about the EJ pick and never once believed he was going to be a successful QB.
I'm mixed on Allen. It'll pretty much echo what many people here say, but yeah he makes some exciting plays that many other QB's cant...but what scares me is the easy throws that he's so inconsistent with. I don't care about completion percentage in general, but so much of this game is about efficiency and moving the chains. He won't be able to miss those throws in the NFL and survive. And that's not always "correctable". A lot of those plays we're talking about are all about feel and rhythm and instincts.
That being said, I didn't have a clear cut favorite QB of the Big 5 in this draft. The one that I'll be watching in comparison is the one that was available at our pick last year, Mahomes. I hope we made the right call.
-
QB matters more than anyone else. If Allen's a bust and Darnold is a boom, it doesn't matter how good Edmunds or Philips are in that scenario.
-
If they like a QB, Nate Peterman shouldn't be stopping them from drafting one. He's a throwaway player.
-
I think the Bills will regret not taking this guy. I don't care about the arm, he's a really good football player.
-
Thanks guys! I'll definitely be checking out Lincoln Station!
-
Just moved here to Chicago 2 days ago and don't know a ton of people. Wondering if anyone will be out watching!

The character thing is only thrown out there when it's convenient. They had no problem signing a PED guy like Trent Murphy because it filled a need.

Beane wasn't here when Jones was picked.
Fair enough. I'm not even against them. I just think too much is made of that and was poking a little fun at it.
I haven't seen an example when any GM or coach truly subscribe to the high character thing. They all make concessions at some point to get a talent they want.

Happy, I respect your opinion, and I enjoy reading a great many of your posts. I respectfully disagree. And apologies if this is redundant compared to some other replies, but I just didn't feel like reading all 26 pages...
WHAT?? ? Surely you can't be serious...
This is the most prolific receiver, the ALL-TIME RECEPTION LEADER IN NCAA HISTORY!!!! I don't care that he did it at ECU, and I dont care if 93.5% of his catches were screens and bubble screens! You had to do SOMETHING to achieve that feat! This kid had human stickum in college and caught virtually EVERYTHING thrown his way!!! Wide-open, over the middle, fades, posts, flys, open or covered, particularly covered this kid effin catches everything. When we drafted him I was effin ecstatic AND I STILL AM. I know every member of this board knows that WR's TYPICALLY take around 3 years to mature and "blossom" into the receiver their team hopes they can be. This is a kid who I admit, struggled through his rookie year, got inside his own head and developed a case of the dropsies, and was called upon to do an awful lot for a first year player. Yet he never complained, took full accountability for his mistakes, even the debatable throw/non catch in the Carolina game he stepped up and said it was on him. I know it wasn't his hands, but from what I've read and been told, a torn labrum can most certainly affect one's ability to catch the ball, particularly when in fear of landing wrong, or being blanketed by a defender.
Yes, he was probably under the influence of something crazy....or perhaps he was still taking painkillers, and then got high and had a bad interaction between the two. Unfortunately, we'll probably never know the truth...However, Zay CAN get past this. If Zay wants to. Here's to hoping legally this remains a vandalism charge, Zay can get it dropped or reduced, plead no contest at worst, get some fines and restitution, and perhaps get a 1 game or none suspension.
But to hear my fellow members in such agreement on cutting this kid bewilders me!! He's 26! He's going into his 2nd year, and FIRST fully healthy! Cutting him would be a GIGANTIC mistake! I swear to all of you, if we cut this kid, we WILL watch another team SNATCH him up, and we will all have to endure Sundays of seeing the bottom line look like, New England 37 - Tampa Bay 10, NE: T Brady, 26-32 354 yds, 4 TDs......Z Jones, 10 ctchs 146 yds, 2 TDs.
Guys (and Buffalo Gal), this is a KID. Who did something stupid. If he can put this behind him, let him suit up for us and catch passes from Rosen (or Mayfield), and become the receiver we all hoped he would be. It's WAYYYYY too early to be even thinking about getting rid of this kid.
IMHO
I believe Ryan Broyles and Justin Hardy are #2 and 3 on that list for most FBS receptions. It really doesn't mean anything.

Awesome high character and motor pick, McBeane!

I just think Beane didn't value the 3 puck as much as the Jews did.
Everyone's always blaming the Jews

As long as its for $15M per season or less then I'm good with it
$15m for Bradford??? That would be a nightmare.
-
Gross. We don't need to sign a mediocre QB to a multi-year deal. It makes absolutely no sense for us.
-
I don't want Bradford.
But mostly what I want from the QB free agency market is a deal where we won't hurt ourselves with the cap in future years if we have to cut them after 1 season. These are all mediocre QB's. The biggest mistake would be to sign any of them long-term without the ability to get out of their contracts cleanly.

Nowhere close to as bad as the Nashville call.
Big difference too, that team was actually good. I wasn't even mad because I knew there was no way we were getting the ball in the endzone. This offense is so incredibly horrible.

I think what you're not understanding is how sad it is that that's all we really have going for us.

Thank you for posting this in a new thread, I probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
I agree with the people that want him to sit for a year but also agree that probably won't happen.
