Zero chance of Allen being rated 99. They'll give that to Mahomes. They seem to like to only have one player at each position at a 99, if any. Rodgers will probably be a 98. Allen will probably be around 94 or 95, I'm guessing.

He played pretty well for the Bills.

I'd say there is an honorable mention for Bledsoe too. Flutie and Taylor are the first tier. Orton, Bledsoe, and Fitzpatrick are 2nd tier. Nobody else is worth mentioning, really.

Flutie, Taylor, Orton

I'd put these QB's ahead of him: 1) Jim Kelly 2) Jack Kemp 3) Josh Allen 4) Joe Ferguson 5) Maybe Doug Flutie So, the 5th or 6th best QB in Bills history (of course, that's not really saying much when you consider that the history of Bills QB's is largely filled with failures at QB.) I know some would put Fitzpatrick ahead of him. Not me.

Not even his own teammates corroborated that claim, and he quickly stopped claiming that. You interview the other 20+ people on the field who were in close proximity, plus listen to broadcast audio, plus review footage from every angle, etc. Garret's claim was baseless.

He must have taken notes when he watched Myles Garrett do that a couple years ago.

I guess on his planet they don't play good football in the playoffs.

Unfortunately, I think he needs football and I worry about what he will do without it. But who knows? Maybe he is in a better place now.

So many shrimpy QB's are part of this. And it's in the Jets stadium. Definately a Jets fan.

Who says Herbert is a better passer than Allen? Herbert is a fine young QB, but Allen is better than him. Herbert hasn't even made the playoffs yet. Year after year the Chargers get pumped up in the off-season and everyone thinks they are getting over the hump, but then they find ways to beat themselves and lose games. I think they will end 3rd in their division.

I feel like Josh already has been getting favorable calls with roughing the passer and late hits. I don't remember it as much last year, but definitely in 2019 and 2020 he was already getting some of those protection calls, many of them borderline. Good to see. I'll bet you'll see that this year. Allen is the NFL darling right now. His face is everywhere. Everyone is talking about him. The Bills are really popular. Allen is really popular. The Pegulas have a new stadium in the works. They are certainly an NFL brand worth protecting. Nothing but good vibes from the Bills, and the NFL would be smart to harness that and protect the superstars on this team like Allen, Diggs, Miller, and White.

I grew up during the drought. Disappointing football was all I knew about. I'm tough. I don't need any of those crap seasons to be avenged. None of them are worth avenging anyway. It's all about the here and now. I watch the team today and I don't think at all about the drought years. I am soaking up what it feels like to be a fan of a good team, a team that is widely respected all around the league and by fans everywhere. It won't last forever. I don't need to waste any thoughts on the crap that came before now.

Seriously. Josh Allen does more for his team than literally any other QB in the league. He is asked to do more than any other QB. Such an ignorant statement. The success of the offense is squarely on his shoulders unlike any QB we have probably ever seen in the game. I know the coaching staff and the GM are good and have done a good job in their respective realms, but you can say the exact same thing about Mahomes in KC, and they have better coaching than the Bills. Anyway, he is an idiot. I don't know why he is keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper, but he is just plain wrong about Josh Allen and almost everyone disagrees with him now.

Everyone already expects them to make the Superbowl and views the Bills at having one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, so McDermott would have to match and exceed those expectations. The only way to really do that is to have basically a historic season stats wise and only lose like a single game. McDermott deserved that award back in 2017 and probably 2020 as well.

Their talent is overrated. They don't underachieve, people just think they are better than they actually are. They are simply a fringe playoff team and nothing more.

They miss the playoffs plenty too.

So consistently predictable (but at least you have come around on Josh Allen. It would be pretty brutal if you were still bashing him).

It usually is, though. Brady is a big exception to the rule, really. For most guys, getting a big contract is important to them for many different reasons, but yes, you do sometimes see players prioritize other things.

That was all I knew as a fan. Any Bills fan under 35 is probably in a pretty similar boat. Glad we finally have a good team to root for.

I think a big part of contracts is just the "respect" component. What you get offered shows how a team values you. If you think you are a top player in the league at your position, you want to be valued that way by the organization you are playing for, and your contract is a direct representation of that. It's not just about the money, of course, but top players feel that they have earned a big contract and getting offered less is disrespectful. So yeah, it isn't always just about securing their future financially (despite so many players bringing up the "feeding our families" crap), but most players go where teams value them the most based on the contracts that they offer.

Well, he isn't the best safety in the NFL. Him and Hyde are both top 10, though. What a great duo. I do hope the Bills work out an extension for him, but with both of them over 30, we probably only have a couple more years of them in Buffalo.

Conditional 5th. Wow. That is good value. Mayfield is a decent QB. He can help take you to the playoffs. He can win playoff games. The Browns are just looking worse and worse. What a dumpster fire organization.

Funny that the picture quality is worse for these 90's games than the picture quality for some of the 60's and 70's games people are posting. I wonder why the quality is so much worse.

Hasn't everything that can be said about Edmunds been said a million times over? Nobody is breaking any new ground here. Just have to wait and see what happens.
