I think there is alot of truth to this argument. If your rookie QB is really good, pay them whatever they want to keep them. As was pointed out a guy like Prescott, if you pay him what he likely will want and can get on the open market you can easily find yourself in trouble with not enough $$ left to surround him with good enough players to compete at the highest level. Guys like Tannerhill Flacco, maybe Daulton also fall into this bucket too. Often when you get to the 3rd contract it sometimes gets a little easier as by then the QB has made enough money that he may take a little less to keep some other talented players around. Could Allen fall into this boat, too good to let walk, but not quite good enough to go all the way with, likely will know in another year or two.

Smart move, won't have to worry about the guy getting arrested for DWI as judging from his pic, he's not close to being old enough to drink!!

You saw about 6 replays of the obvious missed call. What you don't see nearly as clear is where exactly all the officials were standing and what direction they were looking. Was it rigged, no but totally bad missed call that likely would have won the game for NO. I'm sure each official within the crew has specific things to look at, likely one of them job is to watch the sideline, another is something different. Could be the one who was supposed to be looking at contact turtned to look at something else?? There's always going to be obvious missed calls, maybe the solution is each team gets one penalty challenge per game. Based on today's replay rules, you can't do anything about that. Maybe it's time to change that to allow it to be reviewed.

Easy come, easy go!

I got 450 reasons to root for the Saints!

Yeah would agree from a practice standpoint, same offense is a good thing, but seems when the starter gets hurt having a different type of guys often works out well.

Is that good thing or a bad thing? Often the back up comes in and if a totally different type of QB he has some success as the defense hasn't planned for this style of attack.

At the time the rumors were that Woods wanted to go to a west coast team since he was from there. At a minimum if he could be convinced to stay east, why go to a team as shaky as the Bills were..

Likely his leash will remain until team ownership is finalized.

Maybe he figures go to NJ in two to three years I 'll have another easy shot at HC when they fire Gase.

Because then you'll have the same problems that the Bills had this past year. No QB gets nearly enough reps to know what's going on. Likely Rosen with one year experience would win the competition just like Peterman did here. I think a big issue with the bill's offense this year was lack of continuity in training camp, both at the QB position and also the o-line. Every game they were trying to find the right combo, but in the long run, that may have hurt them in developing as a unit. At QB the receivers didn't get enough practice with any one QB and the QB's themselves didn't get enough time on the field either.

OK, but if the Bills had drafted Mahomes in 2017, sat him last year and started him this past season, do you think he'd have even been in the discussion for MVP right now. Prescott looked pretty amazing as a rookie to, imagine what he'll be when he gains experience they were saying. 3 seasons later he's no better, maybe even worse at least statistically.

I think one of those guys or a similar type WR on the roster would be helpful, but still need to get an outside type of guy. Foster could become a good #2 and think Zay may be better suited for the slot. Having one of these reliable always makes the catch type of guy as you're #4 could help. And maybe Oh Canada is #5 or maybe he jumps all the way up to #2 for all we know.

I'd be in favor of Saturday too, but will never happen as Saturday is the lowest watched night for TV and Sunday night is the highest rated.

Except in the NFL a number of them would have been incompletions as only had one foot down inbounds. Not faulting him they were still some amazing catches, but those are the rules in the NFL.

I think they got along pretty good until they first leaked the breakup. Just recently I was looking to see what the latest rating on Get Up have been, but couldn't find anything more recent than late last summer. I know the show was doing terrible at that time and they were hoping for a boost from football season and recall they made some changes to the line up to try and improve. But haven't seen anything since to know if it helped at all or not.

So based on your concept we'd have started out with Josh Allen as the holder, then Peterman, then Anderson, then we'd have finally got to Barkley. Or maybe had started out with Peterman since he was the #2 guy, then Allen once Peterman became the starter, then in week 3 back to Peterman again, then Anderson and Barkley. As was also pointed out Barkley and Anderson were off helping Allen at practice. Agreed having three punters certainly didn't help, but also likely teams go through backup QB's at a higher rate than punters.

Other than that part of it, which is very important for QB development, can't see that a guy wit ha WR perspective would be bad for QB development. Explaining to the QB how a WR thinks and run routes and where he'd like the ball can't do anything but help. People here with no actual inside knowledge get way too hung up on things like this with people working anywhere close to outside the lines means incompetency.

If you basically can't hit the broad side of a barn, then likely you can't teach that person to be accurate. On the other hand if the issues are forgetting exactly what needs to be done, that's different. Pre-draft when he was working with believe his name was Palmer, you were hearing how more accurate he was, even in training camp was better. Then regular season came and things went off the rails, yes easy to write if as "anyone can be accurate in practice, what happens when the real bullets fly" But the other side of that is as he practices more and more, the game slows down. He won't have to think as much about where's the blitz coming from, who's the hot read, what are all the routes, instead he can think more about his footwork and quickly that will become second nature too him. Will he likely ever become a 65 to 70% completion percentage passer, probably not, but give him experience and a much better cast around him could see him making high 50s to 60%. I'd also argue you can add 5% to his percentage because of his running abilities. They may not be passes, but they still move the chains.

147 players and they still couldn't make the playoffs!! Lewis was worse than we thought!

For the entire year he was ranked mid both in yards and receptions. So showed improvement when Allan got back on the field and started seeing better QB play.

Agree if you were going to get rid of Daboll, you'd likely first hire a new OC, then let him decide who to stay and who goes.

Really, so how should they improve, use a number 1 draft pick on a CB? Well if they had done that last year, whoever it was wouldn't have been as good as Wallace. Is this the opposite of "I've heard of him, so sign him" Since he was undrafted, you just know he's not going to be any good. No team can afford 22 all pros playing on the filed. Having a guy as the #2 who played as well as Wallace and you're in very good shape there. Do they need more depth, yes, but don't need to look for a starter. Was it somehow a fluke as no other teams knew him so didn't know how to play against him, possibly but nobody knows that answer. Plus if that were the case would be the same for other rookies too. I'd say look for a decent CB for depth and if Wallace does somehow drop off, you have another similar quality option. If he plays the same or even improves slightly you're all set.

Only if prior to the draft they had stated Marino will be bust. Whether Allen is good or bad doesn't really matter, all that matters is proving to themselves and most important to the rest of the world is to show that they were correct. If it means somehow doubling down to prove your point, then by all means go for it!
