  1. Ha! That guy. Man, everyone had a plan for that guy. “Put him in the slot, he’s a pure athlete in space.” Wonder what he’s up to.
  2. Foster isn’t even running with the first team in camp, and he’s a rising star?? and yes, it’s exactly that simple in the NFL. “I’ll be bagging groceries” still applies to the game today.
  3. Ok. That was two seasons ago, and there are 6 RB’s on the roster right now. Any of them can produce at the level that McCoy did last year; and none of them come with a $10 million tag.
  4. I don’t think this is true. I think any of us would be thrilled with seeing a Bills RB getting 2000 yards from scrimmage.
  5. 1250 on the ground 8-10 Rushing TD’s 350 receiving with another 3-5 TD’s if he can do that at 31 in the last year of his contract, I’ll be happy
  6. Why would trading a young player with little to no salary cap ramifications, be a better move than trading away an aging veteran in Shady? I understand that McCoy is a name, and at one point had some star power, but those days are LONG LONG GONE. I’m honestly not even sure why he is on this team. Yeldon Gore Singletary, seems like something to move forward with, even if it’s just for this season.
  7. Nope. No other injuries sustained by any NFL players at all.
  8. I love the approach with Murphy. I’ve said it before; the line played different when he was healthy and on the field.
  9. Wait, how did Oliver screw it up? He was drafted in the top 10 to a team that he wants to be on and wants him. Im not sure i get where he screwed up? Is it because Major Applewhite was upset at him wearing a jacket? That’s silly and you know it.
  10. I want to laugh, but I’ve been these guys way to many times.
  11. I agreed with the premise, not with the point you are trying to make. Ive said my peace, i think we can agree to disagree on this. Go Bills
  12. Again, i disagree. If the Cincinnati Bengals had wanted to develop him the way that the Packers developed Rodgers, I’m fairly certain he would have developed into a cannon armed QB. Again, Rodgers was not “gifted” the way that Allen was, yet he still possesses the same kind of arm talent. Some require less work than others. And some, with the right kind of work, can. I don’t know. Maybe we are splitting hairs, I’ve just seen people develop strength and speed and turn into athletic animals with nothing compared what NFL players have at their disposal. I agree with the premise that some have stuff that can’t be taught. But the idea that people can’t be taught speed or strength or throwing velocity is just incorrect. You only need to look at any pitcher that is recovered from Tommy John surgery. They literally have to teach themselves how to throw again, with accuracy and velocity. I love Josh Allen. I agree that he is a generational sort of athletic talent at the position, but by his own admission, he worked at it. He was taught how to be better and turn his raw gifts into something special. Don’t discount hard work and the results you get from it.
  13. People say this kind of thing and it’s just not true. The only thing on that list that cannot be taught or trained is height. That’s purely genetic. Weight, Speed, Strength, Agility, Dexterity, all can be taught. Especially at the pro level when guys are not limited by NCAA restrictions on workouts and exercise plans. A great example of this is in the Chris Simms interview. Josh Allen says himself that he didn’t develop his speed until he began training for the draft. And we see how that turned out. He was slow in High School and College. That’s why his speed was so surprising to everyone. Because it was a new addition. Something he had learned. Aaron Rodgers DID NOT have a cannon for an arm when he was drafted out of Cal. He learned better mechanics, and trained and developed into the best QB of his generation. While it’s true that some guys are “born with it”, others are not, and they have to work harder. But to say that you cannot teach athletic ability is just flat out wrong. No offense.
  14. It seems though that what the article indicated was that Dorsey doesn’t care which foot goes where or if your arm isn’t exactly 90 degrees with your wrist and shoulder. If whatever you do works, that’s what Dorsey is going to work with. I dont think the article indicates that there is a nonchalant attitude towards mechanics
  15. Pre-neck injury Peyton Manning was probably the complete package. Except that he wasn’t mobile, but that’s a relatively new aspect to grade a QB on. Next up would be Michael Vick in terms of all around athletic ability. In this new generation, Allen might be what you say, in terms of all around physical traits.
  16. Really excited about this defense. Staying healthy is obviously the biggest issue. I don’t see a weak link anywhere.
  17. Cool. I never said it was ok. You got upset because i said he needed help, not a bullet. Clearly, we have misunderstood each other on this.
  18. But did you watch the video? What did he do? He was acting like a child. He was inebriated, and he got mouthy. It happens every day. Maybe not on the bright shining hill that you clearly live on, but everywhere else, people act stupid when they get drunk or take drugs. You are trying to make some kind of inference into what my original point was. Saying he needs to be shot is heavy handed, and unwarranted. The kid needs help. I say kid because while his body may be developed, his brain clearly is not. If that merits a bullet, this world is going to have a lot less people In it
  19. I guess maybe you misunderstood me. Maybe youve never ever been in a bar fight. That’s probably a good thing. Maybe you’ve never been around people when you were younger that weren’t good for you. Great. Lots of young men aren’t as lucky. Even ones with millions of dollars and fan “support”. The internet is a really convenient place to dismiss those things and say thoughtless things like “he should be shot”. Give me all the frowny faces you want. It’s clear that Elliot is troubled. “Putting him down” is never an answer for something as childish (which is what this is) as this.
