The Jets are going to be bad for a long time. I’m not sure what they’re doing.

Small and quick scares me. We’ve been down this road. I hope Sanders is great, and wish him the best of luck though.

True, but it’s tough for me to believe that Shough is a better player. I’ve watched both of them play in college. Shough is a major injury concern also. I can’t believe everyone is that afraid of Deion.

I’m starting to wonder is some yet to be released dirt/pending issue with Sanders.

I struggle with the idea that guys like Dart are the next Josh Allen. He could be, but I think Allen had unique circumstances. Allen never had the chance to play with elite talent or coaching. Dart played for USC and Ole Miss, and was a really good QB, but never looked unstoppable. I’ve noticed that most elite NFL QB’s who played big time college ball looked incredible in college. Dart always looked simply above average.

It really does, but that’s why I think this is about teams not wanting to deal with Deion. You’d think Sanders would have intrigued a QB hungry team to reach for him. That typically happens every draft. Anyone who watched Sanders play could easily see how he might appeal to a desperate team.

To be fair, in today’s world many pro athletes are born and raised with this goal in mind the entire time. These guys lived a different life than the average Joe. It’s not the way it was many years ago. You see this across the board in every major sport.

I don’t think it will work either. In this era of NIL and transfers, NC didn’t have a very impressive off season. It’s not as if players seem to be jumping at the chance to play for Belichick. He’s just running a mediocre college program at this point. Compare this to Sanders at Colorado where he was immediately able to bring in a bunch of play makers. I’m not sure what Belichick has done that’s exciting.

These player stories sound like something from American Idol.

These players make me feel so old. I can’t handle the influencer generation swagger.

I think Ward reminds me a lot of Kyler Murray. That’s all I see.

I don’t want to be the Shadeur Sanders fanboy, but it’s crazy scouts think Cam Ward is that much better. If Sanders is going this low, there’s no way Ward should have been number one.

Absolutely, it’s like people forget the average NFL player is twenty something. I don’t see many NFL coaches who fit my definition for “leader of men”. I’m also aware that old school definition isn’t what you get these days with that generation of players. Belichick is a great example. There’s nothing about him that would make me respect him as a leader, but I’d respect his football knowledge. I think that’s what matters these days.

Yeah, this reminds me of the McD articles. It seems like a smear campaign, and many of us just want to believe it. This board is very intrigued by McDaniel for some reason. I think he’s a good coach, but Miami will never be good enough with Josh Allen in the division regardless. You’d think Bills fans would understand our current team has the ability to make opponents look bad. Miami just wants to chase him out because the city/fanbase believe they should be competing for titles.

90’s Bills fandom was awesome, but there’s too many bandwagon fans these days.

Same here. I believe the truth is somewhere in the middle, but we live in a world where everyone uses all or nothing logic.

I’m sure he works hard, as it takes a lot to be a pro athlete. I don’t want to dismiss that, but he’s another vet QB who’s just collecting a check at this point. You can’t blame him for taking the money as long as someone wants him. These guys are like the nostalgia bands of athletes.

That’s very interesting, and something I never realized. I think this is ultimately a Taylor Swift conversation at the end of the day though. I can’t think of anyone else the Buffalo market is missing out on. It’s not like the 70’s when you could fill the stadium all summer with popular acts. Only a few classic rockers, pop stars, and country singers play stadiums. The current country stars who are stadium acts will play anywhere, and the classic rock stadium acts have very short tours at this stage of their career.

I agree, but I’m assuming we’ll outscore opponents again this season. Josh Allen is the ultimate cheat code. I think having better DL play would be huge in the playoffs. I agree, I want better DL play all season, but I’d rather these guys miss the first six games, rather than being unavailable during the playoffs. I just don’t see the suspension of these guys derailing our season.

I’ve always thought that we perform quite well against contenders in the regular season. We didn’t have Hoecht or Obunjobi the past few seasons, and did just fine against good opponents. I see the moves being something we hope pays off against KC in the playoffs. I also think anyone who’s worried about these suspensions are vastly overrating both of these players.

No, I never saw the “it factor” in Manuel, but some people did, including Whaley 😆 . I supposed it’s all a matter of how we perceive things. I think many of us saw something special in Allen from the start, I know I did. Maye gives off some of the same entitled frat boy vibes that I got from Mac Jones. I don’t see that in most successful NFL QB’s.

I know the physical attributes are different, but Maye’s personality/look reminds me a lot of Mac Jones. I don’t see the “it factor” in Maye that makes me believe he’ll be an elite QB.

AI needs perfected to better understand humans. Josh Allen is never going to retire halfway through the season. I don’t think a star QB has ever done so, and he’d be the last guy to pull that stunt.

McDermott is just bitter his team can’t figure how to run the play with a beast at QB.

I was honestly just thinking more like being able to find anywhere open on Sunday. That’s was tough to find a few decades ago. Park City would have never been a tourist draw in 70’s Utah the way it is today. 😆
