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.

It's the while circus people don't want and his talent doesn't warrant overlooking it
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.

remember when Tenn drafted "the next Josh Allen" with Malik Willis? And then, amazingly, also drafted the next "next Josh Allen" in Wil Levis?
Dart could easily be more Chad Kelly than Josh Allen...
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.

The “Lamar draft” had 5 legitimate 1st round talents… this to me felt more like the”EJ Manuel draft”.
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.

I agree, to me there was a large contingent of players looking like spoiled brats with their clothes. Golden looked/acted like the biggest Diva out there to me, but it is what it is.
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.

The ACC is so bad, they will have a path if they can make it work. But color me skeptical. The GF getting involved in day to day. Calling it the 33rd team, as in the 33rd NFL team. Newsflash, while these kids want to make money, they also still want to be kids. They can do that at most the other universities in the country. They don't need a military grade HC degrading them and running them into the ground pretending they're at the pro level. I don't think he will last more than a year or two and I imagine the carnage will end up being pretty epic.
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'm not a college guy whatsoever but the gap seemed pretty wide, Sanders doesn't look or feel like a franchise QB, Ward does . That simple
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.

Losing will do that to you.
But let's not go with the old "not a leader of men" crap.
Was mumbling, irritable Belichick a "leader of men?" Is introverted McDermott a leader of men? Siriani wasn't a leader of men until suddenly he was.
I'm a Denver Nuggets NBA fan. They loved coach Mike Malone, an abrasive guy who got the best out of them. Until this year, when he became an abrasive guy they no longer wanted to play for. It happens. Familiarity breeds contempt. The Bills next coach will be a loudmouth extrovert, just as Rex Ryan begat Sean McDermott. That's why coaches don't often last long.
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.

Perhaps it's the Herald that has turned on McDaniel and Grier rather than the players.
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.

I've lived through both recent swings of the marijuana pendulum. From the late 80s when it was Reefer Madness 2 and going to make you put your baby in the microwave, to the 2000s when it was touted as an herbal pain relief remedy and possible cancer cure.
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.

Buffalo itself is small but there are 6-10 million within a 3 hour drive. The show creates it's own market. (You think people would stay away from a Taylor Swift show in Buffalo?) The issue has always been the venue. Big tour shows often have two identical stage sets and they want those sets put up, torn down and moved on quickly. Having one field level driveway is a killer.
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.

We ‘did just fine against’ them because we outscored them. Not because we were fine on our DL.
It’s the 17th game thing. One season we play and additional NFC game at home, the next season we play an additional NFC game on the road.
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.

Kind of hoping we see a lot of road games in the opening 6 weeks. Pretty soft looking road schedule. I'd take Panthers, Falcons and Browns early. Maybe sprinkle in a Dolphin or Pats road game in that window. All winnable even with the suspensions IMO. Fill that in with a Saints and one division home games and I'd call that about best case scenario.
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.

Just now, Mr. WEO said:
did you see it here?: lol
"With an endorsement like this from Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley, it's clear rookie EJ Manuel won't wait long before becoming the franchise's starting quarterback.
"Most successful quarterbacks have that 'it' factor. He has that 'it' factor," Whaley told XM NFL Radio. "When he walks into a room, there's a presence and people take notice. He's going to be the face of our franchise, and it's not too big for him."
and when it came for steel to forge this piece of steel:
"Manuel, the 16th overall pick in the 2013 draft, is competing with Kevin Kolb for the starting job."
"Those guys are battling out and that's a heck of a battle right now." !!!!
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.

Dumb move IMHO. They spent a mid-6th rounder on him and got back essentially a high 6th rounder in value. I realize that the last game was against Bills' backups, but there was potential and at least had value as a backup.
And I find it funny that people are sold on Maye. He didn't even have as good a season as Mac Jones did as a rookie, and look where he is now.
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.

2025 NFL Draft Thread : Rounds 2-3
in The Stadium Wall

This is a must. I like these picks, but it’s a continuation of us pumping many resources into the DL. We’ve found some good players over the years, but nothing that moved the needle in the playoffs. These picks will only become truly significant if they make a difference when needed most.
