The college football landscape is insane these days as well. If you have a spectacular season, you never know what you’re walking into the next year. The transfer portal chaos can change the composition of a team overnight. It would be easy for a QB to damage his draft value by returning after a good season.

I was less concerned about the guy himself, and more concerned about picturing myself sitting next to the average sized dude.

These seats confirm my greatest fear. I was hoping for a modern stadium with comfortable seats, a wide concourse, easily accessible bathrooms, and good concessions. If these seats are an indication, we might see more of a “basic model” stadium that doesn’t do much to upgrade the experience.

Fitz was better served as a placeholder QB before teams found their real franchise QB. He was fun to watch, but could be a turnover machine. It’s the exact opposite of what a Super Bowl contender needs out of a backup. Fitz could win games, but also lose them. I liked Fitz, but my unpopular belief has always been that Fitz didn’t play smart football in big moments. The guy didn’t know when to stop forcing the ball. That’s not what I want from a backup.

I never thought a grumpy 73 year old coach coming out of retirement to a mediocre college program would work. College is a completely different game, and Belichick wasn’t even a good NFL GM. I can’t see him becoming a good recruiter. In a strange way, these distractions will give him an excuse if he fails.

Seriously, all this talk about Belichick’s legacy is hilarious to me. He’s never gone about things in a dignified way. The dude just won enough for all to be forgotten.

Sounds good, but I don’t remotely understand the back story.

I randomly have a good recall game of that game as well. It stands out as one of those classic drought era moments that signified how bad this team was for so long. If I recall correctly, I think future Bills great Kawika Mitchell had a pick six or fumble recovery TD for the Giants.

Lamar Jackson isn’t very good in the playoffs, and that’s been the difference. The Ravens would have beat us in the playoffs if Jackson didn’t hand us the game. I think that’s why it looks bad on paper, but we succeed in real life. Mahomes always shows up against us unlike Jackson.

The EJ Manuel game winning drive matchup against the Panthers in 2013.

Flame away at me for being a grumpy old man. I just long for the days when football wasn’t about coaches and players significant others.

Absolutely, I think a lot of people are overestimating how secure most people/organizations are with their data. The average person isn’t a tech nerd, and doesn’t even think about the stuff. We just happen to live in an era where that can have serious consequences. The prank wasn’t the greatest look, but at the end of the day this is just football. There’s a lot more important data out there.

Great post, this isn’t about finding the next Jerry Rice. That seems to be what some argue. This is about finding a receiver who can get separation. That’s something we don’t currently have on the roster, but is obviously an important element of an offense. A player who can get separation is going to contribute with Josh Allen QB. We just don’t know what that looks like because we have yet to see it.

I gave it a B. There were a lot of positives along with some question marks. The Hawes pick dropped it from a B+ because that one confused me. I like the idea of someone with athletic upside in that spot. Plenty of fifth round skill position players have gone on to great careers. A pure blocking tight end with very little athletic ability is someone I’m finding in the seventh round, or as an UDFA. Sometimes McBeane fall a little too in love with their philosophy.

Have you met anyone from Jersey? 😆

Allen is a great back. He won’t be an every down guy, but he fights for every yard and is a good receiver. He’s someone I’d really trust as role player. If you need a yard, he’s the type of player who won’t be denied.

idk, I think the big game experience hurts him in a way. Ewers had a lot of talent around him in Texas, and he often looked terrible in big moments. I’d rather take a chance on a guy who has excuses for being mediocre.

He probably should have been a backup at Texas too.

Yeah, I have no idea who advised him to enter this draft. I can’t make any sense out of it.

I can’t believe how much money Quinn Ewers has made in college for a QB who hasn’t even been drafted yet.

As a Syracuse fan, I loved him this season. I actually enjoyed Orange football for the first time in several decades. He was a really good college QB in the ACC. However, I can absolutely see the comparison in the pros. He has zero mobility, and no pocket awareness. That doesn’t work in the pros, but you’d already know from what you saw in Ohio.

We’ve gotten some good players, and I don’t mind this draft. However, Beane and McD have no excuses this season. They’ve got the defense they wanted to build, and claim they are content with the offense. This is a Super Bowl or bust type draft when you put all your eggs in one basket.

I have no idea about the truth regarding the Isaiah Bond situation, and I hope justice is served. However, five years from now, it’s likely he’ll be playing football with all being forgotten, regardless of the truth. He’s going to play NFL football, someone might as well draft him. They don’t care about any of this, except for the possible media backlash.

That’s fair, I shouldn’t say he folds, the dude lost one game last season. It’s not a fair assessment. It just seemed like his weaknesses were quite visible against strong opponents. He didn’t look like a guy I’d count on to save my franchise against Ohio State, and that was my last memory of him.

I think Gabriel is going to be really bad in Cleveland. He has a weak arm, and seemed to fold in high pressure games. The weak arm is going to be a huge problem on the shores Lake Erie.
