Until air drag overcomes A...which likely happened and means V was not that impressive.
A human terminal velocity is like 120 mph...I bet a foot ball is way less
Update - Terminal velocity football somewhere between 60-70 mph.......so.....the whole thing is BFD
Hell, our QB can throw that fast...

Draft Night Confessions
by Inigo Montoya
1. I liked Josh Allen, but just because he looked like a QB from central casting, not because of any in-depth film study or football reason.
2. I was happy we didn't draft the other Josh because I though he seemed like a jerk and would be hard to cheer for, not because of any in-depth film study or football reason.
3. I had no earthly idea that Josh Allen was a running QB.
4. I had no idea who Tremaine Edmunds was when we drafted him.
5. There is a reason I'm not an NFL general manager.
I second that entire list, 👍

How much money you make doesn't matter.
Stop focusing on that.
How about MLB players who make 60K on minor league contract. Is it fair to them since they make "Regular people money"
Yes it is fair, in that those individuals chose to be there, Knowing full well how that employment opportunity works. they had options and they chose the baseball option, it really is that simple, do what you can to not make easy things harder than they actually are...

They all freely chose those occupations.

Absolutely, Josh has a good head for business, has shown massive perseverance and has had success because of that, an investment firm would be an ideal partnership, his story is their story etc etc,

Those very same guys can also enter the real world job hunting market place to find out that its really no different, sure you can apply where you want to work, but that sure as hell doesn’t mean they want to hire you, your name goes into a pool of potential employees and the company chooses/drafts you, then you accept employment or try elsewhere if that company/team doesn’t suit you, of course in the real world your not starting out at several hundred thousands of dollars and more annually... all I can say is, fair my azs, ya get to play a game for a living, what you hear now is the world’s smallest violin playing my heart bleeds for you... okay I’m done for a now... 😂

Is this the illegitimate love child of DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins?
Bold Prediction: Not one Bills fan will get upset at Buffalo's first selection. Not only is it bold, it's completely unrealistic and as bad as at least half of the 'bold' predictions in this thread.
(There is a difference between bold and completely ridiculous)
Yup, I can’t wait to read the torrent of posts from pissed off fans when the first pick is announced, it’s gonna be awesome 👍, it’s gonna be like the game day threads, where the whole Bills world is tumbling down..., I’ve ordered some specialty popcorn 🍿 to munch while I read them, did I say it’s gonna be great???? 😁👍

Is Jarran Reed really that good that we should be panicking over the move? He is a solid run defender but that's about it. It wouldn't have made any sense for us to sign him.
ya but..., some folk really love the panic button, I don’t think they can help themselves, 😁

My question is how do you do that on "draft night". If the Eagles make the trade how do the Bills ensure that Ertz renegotiates?
Ignore the man behind the curtain so to speak..., teams are and always have been in negotiations with other teams and players agents before the transactions happen, to think otherwise I believe is bit naive. Should such a trade happen it will have been in the works as an option that has already been discussed/agreed upon in principle, if not else. We are not talking about choir boys here..., these guys are about getting business done, hell, as soon as the draft order was known the deals started being negotiated...,

You don't give the link, but if it's this
which contains your quote word for word as the last paragraph, you seem to have omitted this relevant section:
If Keyontae Johnson had a panel of cardiac experts conclude that his collapse was not covid-related, and if he was properly screened (and cleared) from having myocarditis before he returned to play, I don't see why his case relates to whether Tommy Sweeney should play again after developing, and apparently recovering from, covid-related Myocarditis
Oh you went and did it now..., putting things in context..., you aught not of done that... 😁👍

It's bashing Edmunds to say the Bills could find someone as good in the draft?
In this particular case?
Answer = Yes -

Sorry I’m not picking on you specifically, but my question is why? Isn’t this supposed to be entertainment? Aren’t these guys supposed to be having fun? It’s one of the few times the NFL lets these guys show some personality-I just think the whole “act like you’ve been there before” trope is so boring and played out. If they want to hand the ball to the ref, cool...but if they want to celebrate, let them celebrate
Celebrate when you’ve won, or the game is in hand, not before that, a fist pump etc for a good play/score sure, that’s to be expected, but it’s the celebrating like you’ve won after an interception or TD when you’re still losing the game, that’s pretty freakin pathetic, is it a good play? Hell Yes, celebrate like you’ve won? Hell no..., jmo.

Based on that article, there is zero reason it couldn’t have worked out differently for him with better coaching. He’s clearly a student of the game - “all ball” - and had the tools to be great. His floor, with proper coaching, should’ve been Jake Plummer. Again, Ralph kept the Bills in Buffalo and for that we should be duly thankful. But he was a real PoS.
Wyche was well past his prime by then.Yup, living on reputation would be a good way to put it. That was the way of things at OBD in those days, for the most part all administrative functions, from ownership to position coaches were maned by buffoons, again for the most part, it’s no wonder the team had so little success. The marked contrast to what is going on now at OBD has been a galactic shift in the level of intelligence of those doing those jobs. It’s so very nice to have smart people running the show.

Really.
That's the way it's always seemed. Losman started slow, with the injury and being behind Bledsoe. Then rather than let Bledsoe stay and making JP play his way into the lineup, they got rid of Bledsoe, which turned a lot of players and fans against Losman, who was correctly being perceived as being handed the job without earning it. But it wasn't Losman who got rid of Bledsoe, it was the coaches.
Then he played really promisingly in 2006, improving a ton. He wasn't there yet, but he was really headed in the right direction. He had started developing a style, which was that he was a gunslinger, a guy who was really good at evading rushes, buying time and hitting guys off a scramble. He made too many mistakes, but had only thrown about 650 NFL passes. He was still young, learning and developing, and he'd always been a developmental prospect.
More, they put him behind terrible lines. The best way to describe those lines was basically Jason Peters and four guys who weren't good enough to be journeymen (Mike Gandy, Melvin Fowler Chris Villarrial in the last year of his career as he fell apart, and Terrance Pennington were the most frequent starters, though Tutan Reyes got six starts, as did Duke Preston.
He still improved and looked promising.
So they fired the OC and brought in a guy who decided to go directly against Losman's abilities. He was a scrambler, a gunslinger and a risk taker with a monster arm and a good connection with the fleet Lee Evans.
Instead of trying to smooth the rough edges off, they tried to turn him into a Brady-style, timing-route hitting guy throwing short passes. The new coaches, Fairchild in particular, made sure to avoid his strengths and get him to play as much as possible in his areas of weakness.
He regressed and was never the same.
He was handled really badly here.
It's impossible to know whether or not he'd have succeeded if he'd been handled well. But he absolutely was handled badly. They minimized his chances.
From the owner on down the chain of command the Bills were really bad back then and wasted repeated opportunities, we made the jets look good, and that’s saying something...
