I’m still shocked at what they pulled on the Texans.
Kenny Stills is not good. He’s a decent enough player, but he’s not a game breaker. And Tunsil hasn’t done a thing yet in the league. He’s big and strong and has good technique, but he’s not 2 1sts good and $50 million in guaranteed money good.
Soon enough, the NFL will look more like the NBA.

I feel like they warmed up to Cleveland very fast even if they trade for jokes like Beckham and have a head hunter like Landry and a domestic abuser like Kareem Hunt.
Cleveland made all the right media moves. Big splash Heisman QB, upcoming young inventive HC, big name players on defense.
But...
They’re still the Browns. They still play in Factory if Sadness, and there are far to many egos on that team for them to make a real run.
Ill take McBeane’s approach any day of the week over what the media thinks.

That was toilet paper money for Mike Jasper...
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.

many factors. for example, if his leadership is the reason a guy rises to be a star, worth it. not saying that is the case, just that it's not as simple as "too few yards for too much money"
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.

He was averaging over 100 yards of offense per game prior to last season when the OL went to hell.
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.

For some people 2000 yards wouldn't be enough.
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.

How many yards is needed before he is worth it?
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

Leadership.
Leadership is great. 900 yards for $10 million isn’t.

Yeldon would be the obvious trade chip here. Could depend on how comfortable they feel about singletary right now
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.

Nope. No other injuries sustained by any NFL players at all.

Wow.

I love the approach with Murphy. I’ve said it before; the line played different when he was healthy and on the field.

Both guys were the premiere interior DL prospects for their respective class and they both managed to screw it up. I like McD’s approach with Oliver, I’m hoping it works.
Oliver is very much a boom or bust candidate much like the Ole Miss Spice Head.
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.

Wow
this is a great find!

I want to laugh, but I’ve been these guys way to many times.

You just agreed to my entire argument.
They have different ceilings. If Rodgers developed a cannon arm that he didn't have in college it was because he had the potential to do that... Not everyone has that potential and not everyone has the same level of potential. My entire argument is that Allen has more potential than most other QB's do...
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

You can heighten what exists, but you cannot teach it from nothing.
No matter what Andy Dalton does, or how he trains, he will never be able to throw the ball with the velocity that Josh Allen can. That’s just how the world works.
Allens physical ceiling is higher. If you subjected Josh Allen and Andy Dalton to the same exact regime, at the end of it Allen would run faster, jump higher, and throw the ball faster/stronger/further. That’s how athletic aptitude works.
Raw athletic gifting has little value uneless properly channeled and used, but that’s the very point of my argument- Allen has more raw athletic talent than many other QB’s to ever step on a field.
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.

Size, speed, strength, for a QB, arm strength. Overall athletic gifted ness that cannot be taught.
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.

This actually gave me a ‘wtf?’ response. Dorsey not caring how a QB sets up to pass -and doing it the same way every time, speaks volumes to his NFL career -which was nothing. Every single aspect of a QB is studied to the nth degree, looking for a tip to the play. If he throws a quick hitch left better by having his left foot back in the gun, but switches it for a screen to the right, everybody in the League knows it by next week. Josh alluded to this somewhat with Chris Simms -how he ended up being too ‘open’ in his stance to be consistently accurate throwing quick outs. That was DA showing him that. A QB has to stick to only one way every time. If he can’t make decent throws to the other side, Practice, Practice, Practice. Anything else is a tip off and unacceptable.
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

Honest question... when looking at the whole person, athletically speaking, is Josh the best physical specimen to ever play QB? (I’m not homer-ing, just honestly wondering)
Obviously he has his faults, and hopefully he fixes those issues, but has there ever been someone with the combination of altheticism and arm strength that he has?
I feel like if you were building a QB entirely based on physical intangibles, he would be the mold.
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.

Really excited about this defense. Staying healthy is obviously the biggest issue. I don’t see a weak link anywhere.
