I took more exception with: "During the Brady-Manning era, there were not that many elite QBs." Which is just not true. There were a ton. Now yes, Brees and Brady weren't rivals really because they didn't play each other a lot. Brady and Manning didn't become rivals just because they played against each other a lot, but because there was MASSIVE debate over which one of them was the best QB in the NFL. People don't remember because his game evolved a TON over his career, but early in Brady's career he wasn't putting up the Star Wars numbers that Peyton was. Peyton had the numbers, Brady had the hardware. But constantly from like 2003 - 2012 the debate was "who is the best QB in the NFL, Peyton or Brady." Guys like Big Ben/Rivers etc etc never really entered that conversation. Brees peeked in a couple seasons. Similarly, going forward, I could EASILY see Mahomes/Allen debated as the best QB in the NFL for at least the next 7 years. Derek Carr ain't likely gonna end up in that conversation.

Flacco depending on the year.

Come on BADOL, Beane didn't outright say that Shakir was nothing more than a backup slot receiver and can never ever play outside and they have terrible depth with Jake the Snake as our 3rd boundary WR.

Counterpoint: A Tremaine Edmunds highlight tape is him making gang tackles 4 yards past the LOS. In fact, you can't even find a Edmunds highlight tape past 2019. lmao

We have a potential out next offseason. Can get rid of him with a reasonable dead cap number

Letting your best LB walk seems like a bad team building strategy so I hope not

Smith had more TFL’s in the last two years than Edmunds has had in his career. Two time All-Pro. He doesn’t suck

Now now Scott, he said he may have taken $20M from Amazon instead of continuing to coach. Have a heart.

I feel so bad for this man in his mansion. Life is so hard. "Private torment" lmao.

Edmunds may not want to be in Chicago either (who would?) and you have no idea what contract demands he would make to stay there (could easily also ask for 17 per). really the Bears would be taking the inferior player who also needs to be paid who they also have no leverage on. Would be terrible as a straight up trade for them, but I’m all for it.

Watch some Bills games and Bears games and let us know what you find.

What are you going to pay Edmunds?

??? A good player for a decent player?

I still wax poetically about that ball he threw when he stepped out and got SMOKED vs the Dolphins. One of the best throws a Bills QB made until Josh put on a uni.

Browns need him as the second lead for their “Hard Knocks - The Longest Yard” series coming this fall.

Isaiah Hodgins’ march to the HoF begins today. He’s better than Jamarr Chase, because the rounds you get drafted don’t matter according to the experts on this board lmao.

I knew we'd be on the same page with this. Mahomes wishes he had Tee Higgins as WR1 going into next year instead of Doo-Doo. The NFL changes fast. Rosters turn over FAST. 3 years ago no one would have predicted Tyreek would be a Dolphin. Teams have to be smart. 3 top 3 round picks in 4 years on RB is NOT SMART. I mean, let's wait and see Elam play. Jamarr Chase was dropping the ball all of TC and preseason last year and he did okay.

Because they were looking for CB help? Honestly, the Bills drafted 2 of the 5 HoFers from 85. That's a damn good draft any way you slice it.

We should have waited until the 6th to try to draft Josh.

So your point is that Shakir is going to be the next Diggs? I’ll take that bet lmao Many of them do not. Fifth round is day 3. Not mid round.

Nothing says “WR of the future” than a fifth round pick. Where do you people get this stuff?

Jerry Sullivan may actually be the OP in topics like these trying to drum up more business. ”I hate Jerry, so when I saw he published a new article, I clicked it instantly.”

Von only played 8 games in LA. So 41 of AD's pressures came in the first 9 games. And 45 of them came in the last 8. So 4.5 pressures per game before Von. To 5.6 with Von. Oliver had 40 pressures in 17 games. Which is 2.3 per game. So maybe he'll get 1ish more per game?

Any stat that has AJ better than Myles Garrett is a stat that can be instantly disregarded as useless.
