Won’t ever happen don’t think, nor would it make sense for our rebuild and trying to maximize development of youth going forward, imo.

Became a fan of his ever since last year's miracle 4th down TD throw to get us the last little bit into the playoffs, as probably a lot of others here did as well--hate it for the guy, but looks like this season was well on its way to going in the tank anyway for them, so maybe not the worst outcome in the world for his long term health/longevity. Seems like a really good guy, even gave back some of the Buffalo donations made to his foundation from Bills fans, earlier this year to a Buffalo hospital before their preseason game as I recall. Good luck to him!

Love it. You gotta love this kid and the fire with which he attacks this game, right?? And his teammates feed off this energy I feel like

Doesn't strike me as much of a "process" team guy, but hey, McBeane may surprise us all yet! He also happens to play a position that is undervalued in today's NFL, and we should be able to keep finding good enough (cheap) RB talent through the draft process just fine, especially when we have so many other needs to fill, IMHO.

I saw it as JA taking what the defense was giving him with the reads he had, and also making something out of nothing if the Oline wasn't giving him enough time to throw--that said, I do think that with more game reps and the game overall slowing down for him, we will see higher yds/game through the air and less on the ground for him. But heck, yesterday his runs were game-changers and helped us win, so I'm not complaining. It was shades of Steve Young out there at times! Also, as others here have already pointed out, this was TT in year 6-7, JA is just starting out, has a better arm and willingness to look at the middle of the field, and will even out IMHO.

Honestly expected option #2 to carry the day so far, but #1 is rolling, good stuff!

You don't want me to break out my really mean face sir!

Coaching and culture matter D2D!

Ian Rapoport saying that Dougie Fresh is about to take more control of the offense = steady diet of Fournette 100% of the time, even more than yesterday. I'd rather have McD calling plays than Marrone, crazy as that may sound. And how can the Jags bring back Bortles at this point, despite the cap implications? That guy is toast, especially under that regime.

Do it @ShadyBillsFan!!

Agreed--who came up with that "bold city" schtick anyway? I admit that I didn't mind seeing "Gotham City" on the Jets yesterday--too bad Batman was nowhere to be found to help pull off the upset of the villainous Hoodie and his sidekick Tommy Deflate...would have been the perfect football day then!

Considering the roller coaster of where we've been this year at the position, I'm hoping and am optimistic we can finally get to some sustained improvement at the position as the last couple weeks have been an absolute 180 from where we sat once JA went down with the elbow in Houston! What say you?

The new Rocketman, and I ain’t talking about the 3 foot dumpling who currently runs the DPRK...?

^^^^^^This. No need to mention any names, anyone who’s spent enough time on these boards already knows exactly who falls into the JA negative nellies group @The Red Kingis talking about. While still early, the fact is there is something different, an intangible anything’s possible type quality to this kid in a good way, that gives an old 90’s SB era fan like me a jolt of optimism that’s been sorely missed for way too long. Go Bills!!!

I was responding to Jalen in the hopes he reads our boards after this one ?. Def not aimed at you bro

Love the optimism!! I would definitely have to pause and at least think about it a little bit, because JA’s an athletic freak who once harnessed could be the thoroughbred that blows everyone out of the water—he did nothing today but reinforce that, setting a franchise record in the process with his legs. I’m hoping he will become a hybrid between Jim Kelly’s arm strength and Flutie’s legs—that is basically unstoppable

Who cares Jalen. A win is a win, and JA took what you gave him to smack yinz around a little bit. Enjoy the plane ride out homey.

How many players on the Bills roster right now are players on an NFL roster? Exactly. How many Bama players (who played the Citadel to a 10-10 halftime score last week) will end up on an NFL roster? Optimistically half of the squad? 75%? Just sayin’. Also, what kind of a difference maker is it to have Saban on the sidelines? In college, unreal. In the NFL, not so much (see, Dolphins experiment). You just can’t compare an oranges to apples world like this.

I wonder how much of it also would be an emphasis on playing, coaching etc from young age and being around the game more than the average kid coming up, so makes sense more would be drawn to that as a career choice. And probably very “holey”?

Bo “Knows” this and is sorry about that!

Though I thought it was implied, I should have clarified that I meant relatively speaking for what the Bills were hoping for from him. To your point, even NP made the top 1% and I’m sure has broken a million as well in total earnings☺️, but no one here would call him a success on the gridiron either, lol

I think they also dug ditches and welded during the off-season for extra income! Ok, maybe that’s a stretch, but still, they definitely weren’t that far removed from that

Periodically, but never consistently long term. Granted, I’m being nitpicky

I don’t know what’s more amazing. That TB12 has been on top of his game for almost the entire century so far, or that the Bills have been down for the same period of time virtually <sigh>.

Hats off to Maybin finding his niche which is helping make a positive impact to those young ones—a winner at life even without finding success on the gridiron
