    It’s all a matter of opinion. Quite frankly, I think San Diego might be too cool to be my preference. I like warm weather. I’m heading to Wisconsin in a couple days to see the Bills play, and my brother in law there would find San Diego much too warm. There’s not a right or wrong here, except for the people who disagree with me. ? 

     

    The older you get, the more you want a warmer climate or at least a seasonal escape to one.

    My family and I were watching that game and I said that young kid is getting cut.  The wife felt terrible for him the whole time - admittedly so did my sons and I by the end.   

     

    Too bad for Carlson although he did regress @ Auburn his senior  year. Hope he gets another chance somewhere else, but confidence is everything for a kicker.

    This is the reason people don’t critique things. It’s one game.  Hell, it even says it’s thoughts about the one game in the title.  And if you read the whole thing, you’ll see the additional context. 

     

    No one, including myself, said anything about HOF qbs or that he is expected to be one right now  

     

    Virgil - appreciate the writeup, but there's no way an average QB wins that game yesterday. I'll give you that Allen made some bad throws yesterday, but so did a few other NFL QBs including Brady. And did you see watch Stafford against the Jets ? 

     

    Behind a better OL and with a better running game, who knows ? I'm in the camp that we give him at least one year, maybe 2 before we bring in the jury. The rest of the team is pathetic right now.

    Improvement will be need from Allen. Big improvement! He made a few good throws but most of this throws, and even most of his completions were not good throws. Accuracy and touch still need work. Confidence and experience will help, but to his credit, 245 on a day he wasn't great far exceeded what we've endured the past few years.

     

    I would encourage all to go back and look at a bunch of HOF QBs and see how they did during their 1st season.

    wouldn't it be easier to just hire a retired QB to add to your staff as his personal mentor then,  and pick-up any QB you wanted and not have to worry about whether that QB can play AND mentor Allen? (assuming that the current coaching staff wouldn't be able or have the time to do the above?)

     

    Sure, I'm good with that as well but the issue is where to find one that wants the job

    I keep seeing this on numerous threads.  Why does Allen need a journeyman vet to mentor him?  At best, that's all the Bills would ever be able to have as a #2.  What does a career back-up have to contribute to Allen? Allen currently has a head coach, an OC, and a QB coach to guide and assist and teach him. What exactly does a vet journeyman QB bring to the table?

     

    Both Matt Moore and Cutler have a lot of game experience. Why did the Jets sign Josh McCown ? Same reason.

    Haha - to Orchard's credit - that was his knock on himself.  He seemed like a good guy and not untalented.  If he's a good special teams guy it's all good, and I wouldn't even take cutting Washington to make room as a knock on Adolphus.  Orchard is a legit depth guy with some pass rush ability.

     

    What was his excuse last season when he took one of the better units in the league and turned it into garbage with the SAME PLAYERS?

     

    Here in Baltimore the Ravens fans were THRILLED to see his sorry butt out of town - and his illegitimate love child (or whatever the heck he is) Vlad Ducasse with him! 

     

    You're joking right ?  6th in the league in YPG rushing and McCoy 4th. Incognito/Wood/Glenn all gone. He's got nothing.

    Even if you want that Cutler's already said he doesn't want to continue his career if he has to be a back up.

     

     

    Cash is king

    I don't know him personally, but I don't think he will ever be in the "mentoring" business. For this role I'd go with Moore. Plus he'd cost much less. 

     

    Moore would be cheaper, but Cutler is sitting around. Might go for it at the right price.

    Gah! no to Cutler.

     

    I looked this up earlier. 

     

    Matt Moore, Derek Anderson, and Kellen Clemens probably the best of the bunch for experience and results except, 35.

    TJ Yates can play a little, on the AJ McCarron scale of experience.  Scott Tolzein. 

    Then there's the "oh hell NO" brigade - smokin' Jay, Mark Sanchez

     

    Slim pickin's

     

     

    I'd sign Cutler to hold the clipboard and mentor Allen - at least for this year.
