    Give him a few more years and watch how really good he will become. 

    I'm 100% on board with this assessment.  I remember watching him TG 2019, where I ran back and forth to the smoker where we had two (spatchcocked) turkeys in there, and relishing the game -- because outside of Kelly and later years of Fergie, it's been impossible to find even competent QB play here for the longest of stretches.  This is really something else, and in as much as I still love Kelly, again, I would think that watching JA play QB here is totally new territory.

  2. All I can say is that Allen is ***** good, man.  I felt that when he was drafted that he could be stable and change/win some games, and do a lot better than EJ (that bar was very low) and TT (stable, but not a game changer).  I honestly didn't think that he would be this good.  Holy ***** *****.

    exactly.  i think football has run its course for dareus, and that's ok.  

    I think that football regularly ran its course for him -- when he was still playing here and in Jax.  He was a guy that I always hoped would be aces, but it was such a disappointment.

     

    I did like his sailor hat a LOT though.  And I wonder if I'll see him on the Food Network at some point.

    How has this thread come back to life again?

    It's a franchise, just like the "Walking Dead".

    I don’t know, maybe because he is older? Do people ever learn as they grow? 

    Maybe they do, but notable also is that Dareus is out of the league currently.  If there were takers, one would think that they'd have jumped already.

    Not only included suspension, but featured them both involved in a drag race that wound up with Dareus 2012 Jaguar impaled on a tree.

     

     

    Ah yeah.  I forgot about that tidbit.  Bills of that era?  Good times, good times.  </sarcasm>

    I know it ended poorly with him in Buffalo. And once he left he kind of disappeared. But man we can’t stop the run. This guy might be worth the risk. Bring him back on the extreme cheap and hope Jerry Hughes can keep him in line. He would probably help us a lot inside.

    They were teammates in 2016, and that included a suspension for Dareus due to substances, did it not?  Why would it work out better this time?

     

    Players like Dareus and Manuel and Goodwin and Gilmore and Watkins (etc, etc, etc) were of a horrible period of Bills' past.  I hope that they never return here.

  6. Great write up as always, @Virgil.

     

    I wasn't completely thrilled with the game yesterday, and lots of other posters here have identified problem areas, so I won't rehash those.  Having written that, I was happy with the win last night when I went to bed, and I was happy again today as I thought about the game.  Why?

     

    For the first time in forever, the Bills are a good team (not great, not elite, but solid... and good).  The BBFS in me has stifled my optimism for a very long time, and a decade and a half of lost football in Buffalo did nothing to change my mind.  Watching Newton fumble yesterday, and having the Bills come out of it on the winning end reminded me of how bad things used to happen to this team always: fumbling, losing fumbles, mental errors, missed field goals/special teams miscues, blowing leads, being laughed at by the other team, and just straight up awful and uninspiring play for years on end.  I used to watch these games and wonder not if -- but when -- something bad was going to happen.  The Newton fumble was symbolic in a way, and it showed how much this team has changed for the better.
