    Quinnen Williams, like nearly every single other player in his situation, is doing precisely what his agent is telling him to do, and that’s exactly what he should be doing.  Agents aren’t stupid.  They understand how to cause a stir amongst a fan base and apply pressure to the franchise by manipulating their clients’ social media.  It’s part of a 9 figure negotiation, not childish drama.  


    I’m not sure - you also risk alienating the fanbase and making it easier for the team to move on from you without backlash.

    I'd much rather have a QB that flies under the radar and doesn't get endorsements... 

     

    Upstanding young fellows like JP Losman, Trent Edwards, EJ Manuel, etc that will help us to win 7 games and be solidly "In the Hunt" through Week 16

     

    Then we can all go back to sleep for 17 years and set our alarm clocks for Sunday 1 PM games every week

     

    SMFH

     

     


    You need to set an alarm to be up by 1pm?

    Justin Fields (I know it's not his first year) showed me some of that last night.  He has the physical goods to be an elite quarterback if the Bears can finally get out of their own way (which isn't guaranteed).  Mac'n'Zap have none of that.  Neither does Tua.

    While Fields has clear deficiencies in his game, he’s not raw the way Allen was raw, though. Fields was a five star recruit to Georgia and then started two years at Ohio State. He’s had lots of high-level coaching already in his life.

    Well, I do agree that the Bills gave the best possible support they could and all the stability in the world to Allen's development. However it takes someone with the mindset that Allen has within himself to be great to turn out the way he has. All the great coaching in the world would be useless without the players inner drive to succeed. Not every player has that mentality. What is it the young people call it these days? "Mamba Mentality?" 

     

    I did like me some Edwards. Looking back on it today, I believe his physical ceiling would have been an Alex Smith type. 8 or 9 win seasons and maybe sneak into the playoffs here and there. We were just so starved for even a mediocre QB at the time that he looked amazing for what we were used to.

     

    Josh Allen has us spoiled. Had we not gotten him we would still be looking at QBs like Mac Jones and Tua and wishing we had someone as "promising" as them  

     

    Josh Allen had horrible support his first year. The Bills had the 32nd highest paid Oline in the league, and most of the starters are now out of the league. They had the 30th highest paid WR corps (not last because of Kelvin Benjamin). They had an average paid TE corps, but only because of the ghost of Charles Clay. He had Nathan Peterman and AJ McCarron to learn the position from.

     

    Despite that he still had some electric moments every game and got visibly better over the course of the season.

     

    If anything, JA's first year is a signal that you can take a top-level talent, and even if they're raw and in a horrible situation they will show flashes of greatness.

  5. I’m surprised to see so many people caught up on hang time.

     

    Hang time and distance are strictly a function of kicking angle and velocity. That’s just classical mechanics from high school physics. It’s pretty easy for Araiza to kick slightly higher, cut a few yards off the distance of his kicks, and up his hang time so that special teams can get to the ball when it lands. I’m sure special teams is working on that already.
     

    Bottom line is that Araiza can kick it harder than anyone, ever, and details like hang time are tiny kinks to be worked out in comparison.

    I would LOVE to get this cowboy.

     

    It's a topic for another thread, but incidentally, as a soccer fan, he is the perfect example of the American athlete I DREAM of some day playing soccer as a boy in this country.

     

    6'4", 230 lbs, strong as a gorilla, and runs a 4.3 ????

     

    Can you imagine this guy flying around a soccer field?


    The USA would never lose at the World Cup.

     

    If only our best athletes played soccer.

     

    Anyway, yes, get him on the Bills if at all possible.

     

    Make it so that opposing defenses simply DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS to take away our elite weapons! 

     

     

    100%. This is exactly why countries like Jamaica always dominate the world cup, and teams like 2010 Spain with slow 5'8" Iniesta and Xavi as their star players are perennial losers.

    It doesn't work that way.

     

    There isn't necessarily a correlation between draft order and draft quality.

     

    The top teams in the draft year after year often remain terrible--look at the Buffalo Sabres.

     

    And they are picking at the top.

     

    27th for the Bills is NOT a good score but the drafting has been pretty terrible under this regime.

     

     

    There is absolutely a correlation between draft order and draft quality.

    Wonder what his stats were with Baltimore in '18 and with the Bills in '19.

     

    If he was still in Baltimore, he'd probably be a 'non-weapon', a 'JAG'

    His '18 stats were really influenced by Flacco.

     

    "Brown caught 42 of 97 targets for 715 yards and five scores in 16 games for Baltimore in 2018.

    Brown averaged a career-high 17.0 yards per catch in his first year with the Ravens, but an atrocious 43-percent catch rate (third worst in NFL) bombed his fantasy value. The narrative may have been different if Joe Flacco remained the starting quarterback all year, though, as Brown was on pace for 1,069 yards and six touchdowns before Flacco was benched ahead of Week 11. Comparatively, Brown averaged just 12.8 yards per game with Lamar Jackson under center -- which doesn't bode well for the wideout's 2019 fantasy stock."

    I actually think he is being unfairly targeted/blamed for the Steelers’ woes, and this is blown way out of proportion. He’s a pretty fun-loving, nice guy— gives back to the community, always out and about, etc.

     

    I sort of like that there are some Gen Zer and millennial types in the NFL like him who don’t take things too seriously and help resonate with younger fans. 

    Most who make it to the NFL are extremely competitive, and probably anyone who has ever played sports at any competitive level can recognize how disrespectful his actions were. I can't believe an NFL player would just be blissfully unaware of how that would be interpreted.

     

    Juju was knowingly having fun mocking his opponents while the Steelers were winning, but now it's come home to roost.
