Fun thread to read. I suppose it’s reflexive for some of you to cap on guys like Jackson and Mahomes so you feel better about Allen. Fine by me, everyone has their own coping mechanisms.
i am repeating myself, but you don’t know this for sure. You don’t know this man from adam and can’t diagnose him mentally ill from afar. He very well could be. He also could be a horrible person facing a whole life without football and grasping at relevance wherever he can.
i know it’s hard not to engage in keyboard diagnosis but there is a very real chance he’s just a huge POS and mental health has nothing to do with it. I don’t know if that’s the case or not and if you’re right he clearly desperately needs help but let’s not eliminate the alternative.
it sounds like he (and/or his trainer) did more than just throw rocks given the felony charges on the trainer. Now AB is either in hiding or on the run since the police can’t seem to get a hold of him.
I see no problems with Roberts. As sure-handed a returner as you can find. Made several long returns this season. I think delusional duke syndrome affected a lot of the hate thrown his way. Roberts is well worth the money they paid him.
i don’t think anyone’s denying that he’s running on empty now. But some people are hopping in this thread claiming that he was always overrated and never did anything. That’s just objectively false.
And I hope Reid activates him too - Shady can’t be any worse than Darwin Thompson. He’s been horrendous (although he may be good down the road.)
absolutely. Imagine rooting for Kyle Shanahan and Nick Bosa over McCoy, Mahomes and Andy Reid. No thanks. KC by 30.
lots of different ways to win. what SF did was just one way. That said, if the Bills were to go your route I wouldn’t mind, mainly because I don’t think Allen is very good (yet.)
Put simply, their roles are completely different. Because they're asked to do different things, the skillsets and size requirements are completely different. There’s a few tweener guys that can play both. Neither of these guys are those.
we’ll see. I’m getting a bit tired of kicking productive talent out the door simply because they excelled at their job and now want to get paid what they’re worth.
