I think Hamlin makes it over Forrest just from the fact he knows the system already. However, if Cole Bishop isn't ready to start, I could see then keeping Forrest because I think he would be a better starter. But it could really go either way. I don't actually think Cam Lewis is a lock this year, though. His guarantees aren't much, so it wouldn't be too much of a hit if he didn't make the team. Hamlin, however, has a much higher cap hit if cut. Cam Lewis is in competition with Jordan Hancock, though.

Tom Brady had a dad bod early on as well. Look at his infamous combine photo. He didn't get into the crazy nutrition and body stuff until later in his career.

QB is not a position you need to be in peak physical form for. Ben Roethlisberger was fat and still slinging it all over the place. In fact, a little weight does you good. It helps you take the hits and makes it harder to get you down. As long as you don't go full JaMarcus Russell, you'll be fine.

I might be in the minority, but I think those throwbacks suck. I never liked the Redskins look.

I'll go with Keon Coleman. He could have a good year and I think fans are pretty down on him. On defense I'll choose Taylor Rapp. I think he is a lot better than fans think. Many have been critical of his friendly fire, but he made a lot of key plays last year.

Ok. I was prepared to be annoyed, but this one actually worked out. The Bills have a legitimately good oline.

Completely agree. That's how I see it. The ranking is really just a WR ranking except for the teams that he wanted to talk up a TE or RB.

Cook easily over any back they have. Kelce is basically retired already and plays every down looking like and old, tired man. I'll take Kincaid and his youth and upside over Kelce at this point. Their WRs aren't anything to write home about. They are fine. Better than the Bills, but not anywhere close to the top of the league.

Without Allen I think we have an 8 or 9 win team. The difference between getting 8 or 9 wins and getting 11 or 12 wins is astronomical. That's why 8 or 9 win teams can almost never take that next step and get into the double digit win territory. That's what an elite QB can do for you. It is very difficult to get out of that area hovering around .500. My one issue is that he gives a lot of grace for high picks like Odunze and Harrison Jr. who haven't done all that much yet, or at least haven't produced like high end #1 receivers yet, but give no grace for Kincaid, who has elite upside, or Coleman, who showed flashes before his injury, while underselling the impact of James Cook who produced like a top back last year.

Yeah, I don't think they are giving the Bills much credit considering the upside of Dalton Kincaid and the already proven impact of James Cook. They give plenty of grace to a bunch of other teams who have highly drafted receivers who haven't produced yet, but no grace for Kincaid or Coleman. And Shakir is an extremely reliable target. So, the Bills could probably be ranked a bit higher. Maybe the low 20s. It kind of shows you how important the QB position is and how doomed you are if you don't have an elite one. So many teams are ranked ahead of Buffalo in this ranking but many of them still suck. And the Bills had one of the best offenses in the league last year. It doesn't really matter until you get the QB.

Flute Concerto in A Minor, Antonio Vivaldi It's a classic.

Good point. They are both literally and figuratively on crack.

He isn't that great of a playcaller, even. He routinely abandons the game plan and running game against the Bills because he panics once the Bills get up on them on the scoreboard. He does well when everything goes right, and struggles when things go wrong. He doesn't have the mental toughness or resilience needed.

I don't know why it's a thing. It's a song about a girl cheating on a guy. Why it is played at sporting events I do not understand. But whatever. Seems like the players and fans enjoy it.

Why? We had a good center when he was taken and we have another good center now. It's not like we have struggled at all at the position, and center is one of the lesser valued positions in the league.

Those look very uncomfortable.

Very true. My kind probably isn't welcome in California at all 😉

Only 2,800 square feet. That's only slightly bigger than my home. But it's all about location, I suppose.

Sproles was short, but he had a low center of gravity and was built like a mini tank. Cook is taller and super slender. He has a much higher center of gravity. That's the problem.

He needs momentum for those plays when he fights for extra yards. If he gets caught in the backfield before he can start moving, he still goes down pretty easily. He is a good player. Happy to have him. But he has some limitations, which is why Ty Johnson gets playing time.

Cook won't learn to block. He just doesn't have the frame for it.

He is an offensive lineman. It is tough to get noticed for a lot of those guys.

That will only happen if he gets sacks. That's just kind of how it goes if you are a defensive end.

Dion will make it for sure. He has the name recognition, goes to the pro bowl every year, and has the personality that gets him noticed. Brown and Benford deserve it, but I don't know if they have the national recognition yet. He deserves it. I don't think he is a lock to make it, though.

Tua shouldn't be on there, but at least he is ranked pretty low. It's fun to see Cook get on the list. He had a really good year. I hope Spencer Brown makes it. He and Dawkins were just excellent last year. But I doubt he gets the love. I'm sure Dawkins will make it. Does Christian Benford make it? It seemed like he got talked about a lot more last year.
