Billl

The Bills already saved half a billion dollars by not drafting Mahomes with their pick, might as well save $20,000,000 a year more by not paying White. Then they could draft players with those picks who will either be unworthy of large contracts or who can also be shipped out of town if they’re any good. It’s the perfect plan.

Nobody said anything about taking it personally. He said he didn’t care about what people he doesn’t know say, yet here he is responding to comments by people he doesn’t know about a media session held by a person he doesn’t know. Clearly he does care. This thread is filled with people who feel so entitled to be entertained by a 25 year old man whom they’ve never met that they criticize him for doing what he thinks is best for his health and the well being of his family. It’s disgusting.

These men have busted their asses for their entire lives until they’ve become better at what they do than you will ever be at anything in your life, and you’re calling THEM entitled because you feel the right to be entertained. Wow

...he unironically posted on a social media platform.

Yeah. For example a lot of posters on this board feel victimized by grown men they’ve never met choosing not to play football because they feel it isn’t in the best interest of their families.

Norman was horrific. He was targeted 46 times and gave up 7 TDs. He gave up 10 yards per attempt, and opposing QBs had a rating of 129 when targeting him. He might have been the worst player at any position in the league. I can’t imagine he starts.

So you’d rather have Josh’s passing numbers than Lamar’s if rushing numbers were equal? 20 TDs and 9 INTs over 38-6?

I don’t think anyone is saying that Buffalo ran more than Baltimore, but if you want to add the fact that Allen threw 61 more passes than Lamar over the course of the season despite only completing 6 more passes while throwing for fewer yards, that’s fair. I’m not sure that makes Josh look better vis a vis LJ, but whatever. Might as well include Jackson’s league best 36 TDs and only 6 INTs compared to Josh’s 20 and 9 while we're at it. Od all the bizarre narratives I’ve seen from Allen honks the “Jackson’s passing accomplishments should be discounted because he runs so much” is easily tops. There is no QB more dependent on his running production than Allen.

Nobody in the NFL runs anything even remotely close to the Navy offense. There are no similarities between what Baltimore runs and what Navy runs. Navy’s QB threw 85 passes last season and ran 300 times.

Jackson completed 265 passes. Allen completed 271.

Which one is the running QB? Is it the guy who led the league in TD passes or the one who has been dead last in completion percentage both years he’s been in the league?

He was at the Trump rally in Tulsa. Has Marco Rubio posted a tweet with a picture of Ben Carson yet?

I think people are simply overestimating how seriously players take stuff like this.

The 49ers offense scored more than the Chiefs on the season. Their defense allowed more points than the Chiefs on the season.

In 30 games as the team’s #1 he’s been knocked out of 2 games and missed 4 games completely due to injury. Ironman

The truth is flyover country is essentially worthless. The only thing these areas really contribute is oil, and that’s just because it happens to be there. It’s not like anyone in the area did anything of value. Even the farming has become increasingly less important as agricultural production has moved towards California. Rural areas, particularly those in the South, the Rust Belt, and the Midwest are sewers that run on welfare and meth with a few Dollar Generals mixed in.

Why would you discount his injury history in college when considering whether or not he’s injury prone? He missed nearly 50% of his games due to injuries at Wyoming. That makes no sense whatsoever. Did Tua suddenly become Cal Ripken the day he was drafted?

He’s started 26 games (not counting week 17 last season). He’s been knocked out of 2 and missed 4 more due to injury. That’s 30 games he’s been top of the depth chart, and he’s either missed or been knocked out of 6. Add that to the 17 games he missed in college , and he qualifies as injury prone to me. You’re welcome to disagree. To be clear, I’m not saying he’s fragile. I’m saying he gets hurt a lot. His style of play lends itself to injury. He’s not a guy who slides around in the pocket and makes quick reads. He’s a max effort, play with reckless abandon QB. That’s his game, and he has to play that way to be effective at this point in his career. In 5 seasons at Wyoming and in Buffalo, he’s had one injury that cost him an entire season, 2 that cost him 4+ games each, and a fourth that caused him to leave a game with a concussion.

Both of their teams went from terrible without them to championship contenders with them basically overnight. What has Bosa done for the Chargers?

Seems crazy. He’s nowhere near the player Aaron Donald is, and pressure off the edge isn’t nearly as valuable as pressure up the middle. They’d better hope Herbert is legit.

He missed the 2015 season after breaking his collar bone on the 4th play of the season. He missed multiple games in 2017 with a shoulder injury. He missed multiple games due to injury his rookie season, and he got knocked out of a game last year.

He was essentially flawless last season. My only concern is his age. He’ll turn 24 in a few months. I’m always leery of college QBs who are considerably older than the majority of their competition. We saw guys like Brandon Weeden and Chris Weinke tear it up in college only to flame out in the league. For comparison, if Pat Mahomes had played in college in 2018, he’d have been the same age that Burrow was last year. If Sam Darnold were to play in college next season, he’d only be 6 months older than Burrow was last season. I don’t know how much that matters, but it’s a pretty big red flag to me. Given that it’s basically only one of two (the other being that he was a bit of a one year wonder), I’m still high on him as a prospect, but I can’t quite put him up there with Lawrence, Luck, or Manning in terms of “can’t miss” QB prospects.

I feel like players put an emphasis on toughness, and Wentz being injured so much matters a ton to them. Conversely, I think players respect Josh’s willingness to run in the open field. It goes back to the idea that he’s a better “football player” than he is a QB. Nobody really believes he’s a better QB than Wentz when both are healthy, and both are injury prone (albeit for different reasons).

You’re joking, right?

Why did they use Troy Aikman as the model?
