What would you say the Bills top 2 position groups are?

With Allen? Only 1. Absent Allen, close to a decenary. Beane came after the 2017 draft and free agency period. He is only responsible for 4 years.

No problem, I'll attempt to help you understand. The point of any evaluation or rating is to assess the full works of whatever you are reviewing. So... if you purchase an automobile and the engine works great, that is a positive. The engine is a heavily weighted component and is needed for the vehicle to function. But, what if the A/C/heat doesnt work? And the brakes fail from time to time? And the seats wiggle when you take turns? Will the car still receive a good rating from you, simply because the engine is good? Well, I would hope not. In the National Football League, the Quarterback is a heavily weighted position. A great QB can mask many roster deficiencies. In other words, a QB can keep the team running, just like an engine can. But without a prover HVAC system, and brakes, and secure seats, your ride will not be very comfortable. This is not an uncommon exercise - in Science or Analytics or a myriad of other topics, it is common to isolate a heavily weighted variable and review the remaining dataset. I'm genuinely surprised how few understand this. Perhaps it a low-level IQ test of the posters on this forum. People have done this exercise with the Warriors. The Warriors also drafted Klay Thompson and Draymond Green and signed Kevin Durant. So taking away Curry, you still have extremely talented and elite players that show the Warriors do indeed draft and sign well, absent their engine (Curry). People have done this exercise with the Patriots too. The Patriots also drafted and signed Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker, Randy Moss, Devin McCourty, Julian Edelman, Patrick Chung, etc. So taking away Brady, you still have players that show the Patrots have GM'ed well at times absent their engine (Brady). The Packers are a good example of the flip side of the coin. With Rodgers, one of the greatest QB's in NFL history, the Packers should have several Super Bowl rings (or at least appearances). But the Packers have lived off the laurels of drafting Aaron Rodgers. If you visit their forum, you will see that their fans have long complained about their previous (and even current) GM over this very issue. When you isolate the heavily weighted variable known as Aaron Rodgers, you find that their draft picks and signings have been sparse of elite players. There are a few, like Adams, but not enough. I dont agree that he is masterful. I think he is average to above average, but he hit on the most important position and that gives you longevity in the NFL. I don't think you quite understand my comment. The point of this exercise is not to remove Allen from Beane's accomplishments. It is to isolate Allen for a moment so you can properly evaluate the rest of the roster without the Allen affect clouding your mind. Which it clearly has. .

I realize that you’re modus operandi is sarcasm but surely you understand the purpose of isolating a heavily weighted variable (such as QB), to determine whether the variables outside of the heavily weighted are of quality. Or maybe you don’t…. .

what exact sentence or sentences in my post do you most disagree with?

He has been “made” by his Allen choice, which you can never take away. But for the purpose of this thought study, imagine that he did not pick Allen. Imagine he had picked Rosen. Where would our fans rank him then? Likely quite low. Shows how 1 pick can make or break a career.

I am the complete opposite. I genuinely enjoy the fact that Florio is not on the NFL’s payroll (proverbially or otherwise). I also think his law experience greatly enhances his reporting as it gives readers insight into contract negotiations and CBA negotiations and so forth, that no other reporter has. He also seems to refuse to play the quid-pro-quo agent leak game and calls it out when he sees it. Florio is the best reporter in all of sports, in my opinion.

Smart choice to release this info.

Where I am, NP’s must have a bachelors degree, pass nclex, get their RN, then get their masters degree, then have 500 hours of supervision and pass the national boards. On top of that, if the NP wants to work in a cardiologist office (like the example above), then they would need an additional certification for cardiology that carries an requirement of 2000 additional hours, then take another test, then join the American Board of Cardiovascular medicine. Some of the smartest people I know are NP’s and i’d trust them over some doctors at any moment. No specialized training? As said above, to be a cardiology NP you need 2,000+ hours of specialized cardiology training.

We don’t think any less of Allen because of how poorly the 13 seconds were managed…

Another funny (in my opinion) video from the account:

Just watched this again on YouTube and had a good laugh. Its uncanny how similar some of the plays are.

Happy it’s back in Rochester. Disappointed that it’s so few practices. I remember when there were 20+ practices at Fredonia available to the public.

That is not even remotely true. Besides, i’m not talking about “liking” someone. I’m talking the nonsense like “she’s part of our family” and “I love her”. Uh, that’s weird.

I am not her family. You are presumably not as well.

I am not hurting, but I have prayed several times for her to get better. I find the odd demigod status that some on here have for the ownership team to be... well, odd.

I was thoroughly unimpressed with the Bengals last year. Especially in the postseason. A lot of luck spun their way. They remind me more of the 2019 Jags (went to AFC Championship game) than a true contender.

Years old, I think you mean.

Is it possible that you’re thinking of a different poster? I’ve only created 10 threads in this forum, and they’ve been about Game Weather, Josh Allen hitting a home run, NFL Schedule makers giving Bills an advantage, Power Ranking, PFF and the KC game. I wouldn’t have guessed that anyone thought of me as negative before you wrote such.

Same. This will be my last post in this thread as well. Especially considering that someone was kind enough to point out that a similar thread exists (albeit with less sources).

I hope you're right. According to 3 different studies, the odds seem to be against what we both want.

Neither do I. Tre White WILL be back. The question is how much of his ability will be back.

Your sentiment seems to be that an opinion that is negative in nature can not be rooted in fact or reality and that the positive side of the possibility must be the correct answer. I guess we differ in that respect. I follow whichever way the evidence points me. Agreed. Thats sad.

Apologies for making a duplicate thread.

As do I. A previous poster mentioned their N=1 sample of their son playing high-school basketball after an ACL injury. Unfortunately, the NFL DB position puts a bit more strain on the ligament than high school athletics.
