Lets see, $10K per week on PS...times 16 games. I wonder if that compares to what he made as a rugby pro?

Probably has more to do with the cap percentage tied up in these QBs. No team can really afford an injury to their starting QB. It’s even more important for teams with $30MM starters.

Play them all on offense. They don’t need to play every snap in the first half though. In fact I’d like to see some WR and RB substitutions and rotations on the first team... Can McCoy and Gore feed off each other? Can McKenzie sub in for Beasley? That type of thing. I’m looking forward to this final dress rehearsal. The offense as a whole, and O line in particular, probably need it.

Coach I can almost agree with. I can agree with the D not being the best. The WRs were good though.
Who were their RBs?
Ahman Green, Ryan Grant, James Starks, and Eddie Lacy. Then no one of note until Aaron Jones flashed. They did however have John Kuhn at FB, and a cubic F’-ton of pro bowl offensive lineman. Truth be told, if Thompson had just made the Lynch trade instead of cheaping out on compensation they probably would have won 2-3 SB’s instead on 1.

My take away is that this teams o line and depth looks a lot better than last year.

I had this discussion years ago about allowing teams to develop QBs without worrying about losing them, but the argument was if another team wanted to sign a PS QB and place them on an active roster then you'd be denying a player a chance to better himself in the league by having this protective status unfairly attached to the one position
I’m okay with letting them sign another teams offer. I’m thinking more along the lines of giving QBs 4 seasons of eligibility instead of three since it’s the most difficult position to master.

it is pretty unlikely but given the importance of the QB position the need for practice reps etc... and the fact that any QB good enough to be a # 2 in this league usually gets snagged if left on a PS means QB's with potential but need time like Tyree, get a PS spot usually
Might not be a bad idea for the NFL to extend PS eligibility for QBs.

I’m just happy the kid stood his ground in the run game, even when double teamed.

I’m not worried about Hauschka. At least not at this point. Rotating holders isn’t doing him any favors since it screws with his timing. Punter though..... ?♂️

He did not lead Zay into the endzone, Zay had to rotate his torso 90 deg. That is NOT a "perfect" pass like some here want to claim. It should have been caught, but c'mon with the perfect pass stuff.
Crossing routes, slants, posts, etc are often thrown without leading the receiver. Digs are commonly thrown low. The point is to deliver the ball in a manner which allows the receiver to slow down and protect himself. It’s par for the course when there’s a lurking safety or LB. If those balls are thrown out in front or high receivers tend to get lit up.

November, 1994. Bills - Packers. Bills won couldn’t tell you the score. What really sticks out in my mind...
Some drunk fins fan started going off, talking smack, etc. He stood up on his seat yelling, and then, like mana from the sky, a full beer can came flying down from the seats above, KO’d him, and he tumbled from his “pulpit”. Security then dragged him out with no questions about the KO. ?

This is really going to be a hard situation for the NFL. The rookie wage scale and rookie contracts were a major part of the last CBA, and they're already negotiating the next CBA. IF they start to change rookie deals after just 2-3 years and give guys massive contracts, it's going to set the precendent for all rookies to just say after a year or two "Okay I want a massive raise or I won't play."
Of course some guys have more leverage than others, Tremaine Edmunds couldn't just hold out now for more money... but what would stop Matt Milano who has absolutely out performed his rookie deal?
For the rookie wage scale to be a success, the league has to enforce it... they can't give in and allow players to just stand up and say "NOPE! GIMME MORE MONEY!"
The league needs to get a new clause with a tiered "Negotiation" time tables for different rounds ... What I mean is players cannot extend their contract until after the 4th year for first round picks (provided they exercised the 5th year option following the 3rd year). If they don't pick up the option for the player after the 3rd season, they can negotiate a long term deal after the 3rd year. For 2nd and 3rd round players they couldn't negotiate before the 3rd year as there would still be a 4th year for those contracts, but there is no option for a 5th.... and so on for the different rounds.
This is obviously not a final plan, but there needs to be something to prevent players from subverting the rookie wage scale going forward or this precedent could catch on and it will be a free for all for all rookies who are good or out perform their deal early.
Might work, but they’d have to compromise by increasing RFA contract amounts and performance escalators for late round picks that really play well.

Then the HOF is getting completely watered down. Is Matt Stafford a HOFer? Because he plays long enough, he will have crazy passing yards.
Im absolutely amazed how many people here think Gore is a lock for the HOF. Y’all need to raise your standards. Dude has never even had an all pro or rushing title.
I compare Gore to Curtis Martin. While Martin did attain All-Pro, he wasn’t a wow guy. Just kept cranking out 1,000 yards on a forever basis. Regardless of my opinion on whether or not he belongs in the HoF, Gore will probably get into the HoF. Maybe not first ballot, but after the memories fade a bit and folks go back to stats... While Gore was never 1st team AP, he did make the 2nd team and was a 5x pro bowler earlier in his career. That coupled with his career stats means he’ll likely get a bust and a jacket.
Also, I agree 100% on Stafford. I think he’ll be foiled because he’s viewed as a losing QB though. W’s and L’s carry extra weight there.
-
I’ll worry if they don’t get the O-line sorted by the third preseason game. I expect a bunch of subs and juggling until then while the coaching staff figures out who plays better together. At this point Dawkins and Spain appear to be stable on the left side... I’ll take that for the first week of camp.

Yeah, I think Rosen is one of those QB who are gonna end as possible examples of "how to ruin a QB" or at least "how to ensure a young QB never achieves his potential, whatever that was"
My line of thinking as well. However, I won’t rule out a late career resurgence like Gannon if he sticks around a while.

So after one season and 4 training camp practices, it’s just over??? I mean I hope Allen is the truth but how many times have you anoint Bills QBs over the year? Just like it’s stupid to call a rookie QBs a bust after one year, it’s just as dumb to say one is a franchise qb. Rosen and Allen basically had the same passing stats and Arizona was a disaster.
I think in a a more stable situation, Rosen can be a good nfl qb.
Unfortunately for Rosen, we’re not talking about him sitting and learning behind Rivers, Brady, or Roethlisberger in a stable organization with an established coaching staff. It’d be easier to see him resurfacing as a good QB if he landed in one of those spots. Miami has been a dumpster fire for a while, so Rosen has a difficult row to hoe.

Yes, they have done some things right, but things that in the end won't matter all that much.
Passing on Mahomes, picking a 50% passer instead, thinking Peterman was a good idea.
We all know that QB is pretty much all that matters in this league and they have shown gross ineptitude concerning that position.
And I also only respond to comments I care about, sorry I don't care about the vast majority of your comments.
Do you actually type this stuff every time, or do you just copy and paste? Genuinely curious.

any idea who nice you want to go? there's a place in pittsford called the del monte that has nice rooms. another place called the woodcliff that isn't in pittsford, but has the same feel and isn't too far away.
Sadly, they both charge you if you abscond with a robe... and they frown on pulling a Lebowski and ordering a White Russian in the dinning room in said robe and Flipflops.

The ravens game should be interesting since a fair number of our defensive players are familiar with their offensive scheme.
