I’m really sorry about your friend. And it is the society that we live in were we care less and less about people. the only thing I’ll say about AB is genuinely seems to treat people like crap and that they are beneath him. I feel terrible for his kids.

I don’t see a major FA signing. This cap room is about to go fast once these young players are up to get paid.

I agree with one and I liked AJ much, much better. DK landed in the perfect situation. Yeah, I loved Herbert but there’s a bunch of talk that he’s a super passive guy. Sometimes I think that’s BS but I generally think your qb should be the leader of your franchise. There also were very few games he seemed to take over.

Trent Murphy makes me appreciate Chris Kelsay. and eli is one of the most overrated players in nfl history. But because he “won” 2 SBs with the luckiest runs in nfl history (I remember the Bills played the Giants at the Ralph and he fumbled like 7 times and all my giant fan friends wanted he benched and then he won the SB in a few weeks), he’s a lock. But he will go down with Terry Bradshaw as the worst qbs to ever win multiple SBs. Seemed like a nice guy though and made a lot of money.

Fair points but this is why comparisons from different eras are misleading. Allen completed 58.8% of his passes and was in 32nd place (the leader Brees completed 74.3%). In 2003, Brees completed 57.6% (his only year where he started a game under 69%) and was 18th while the leader was at 67%. It’s a completely different league.

Television and movie makers are so unoriginal. They just copy each other. All the OJ stuff came out together.

This is a point I’ve been trying to make. The need a catchable pass stat because every drop isn’t the same. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say Drew Brees throws a more catchable ball than Josh Allen.

See this does nothing. Watson was an absolute animal in college. Matt Ryan carried a crappy BC team. would an elite receiver help? I would like to think so. But a smart betting man won’t ever put money on Allen becoming a passer like those 2 because he never has been. That’s been my main issue with the Allen pick. We are hoping he becomes a better player in the nfl than he was in the MWC. And while I have serious doubts he can get to the Ryan and Watson level as a passer, he can still be a very effective player if we play to his strengths.

I mean after his sophomore year, I could totally see it. 39 total tds, 6 ints, put up 300 against 2 ranked teams. Can’t say I watched a ton of him but I get it if he has the physical tools. Definitely regressed this year but I don’t know what the situation surrounding them was with guys leaving. But like with most qbs, it’s all about what situation he goes to. If he has to play right away, that would probably be really bad. If he can sit and learn from a veteran on a stable team, who knows? But I can see why teams like him. It is a qb thirsty league.

Disagree. SF’s d backs greatly benefit from playing behind the NFL’s best d line.

Of course if there is a talent like Zay Jones, you have to trade up! trade ups are rarely worth it.

Sammy Watkins was of the best college receivers in recent memory. That’s why you don’t trade up for non QBs in the first. There are zero guarantees.

I haven’t read through the whole thread but is it really defending Rosen like the second coming by pointing out how awful he has been handled? I would think the same thing if it was Rosen, Allen, Mayfield, Jackson, Darnold, etc. Arizona and Miami put on a clinic on how not to develop a qb.

Couldn’t disagree more. This was a dude who was taught it was disgraceful to be gay. Think about the quote his father said. He was supposed to be an alpha man playing an alpha sport where being gay isn’t considered a positive thing. To pretend to be something you’re not your whole life has to hard. And it sounds like it made him overcompensate as a tough guy. doesnt excuse his behavior in the slightest but to pretend like it might not be a factor is kinda Naive.

I pray the Bills don’t think like this. 1) you realize Daboll was hired from Bama right? There are plenty of places to find OCs than just the nfl or current nfl OCs. 2) minus the star and Trent signings, I have zero questions of McBean’s defensive decisions. He is one of the best defensive minds in the game. but you seriously want to trust his judgement on offense? He forced Tyrod in a West Coast system. He traded his best receiver a week before the season and replaced him with scrubs like Matthews and far Kelvin, who was fat in Carolina when they were there. He was in love with Peterman. They traded up to draft Zay Jones instead of staying put for JuJu or Kupp. our offenses have ranked 29, 30, and 24. Yeah, I can’t believe fans would second guess that. you can still be a fan and have some doubts. I have zero doubts defensively. But yeah, I struggle to blindly trust them defensively. If they pick another receiver besides Zay, maybe we win the playoff game and can draft a pass rusher to make our defense, which is borderline SB caliber as is, really elite.

Yeah, that is probably where he ends up.

But Hap, how many more years do you need to say maybe the guy isn’t just getting the results? Why do bad teams only hire him to be the OC? Why was Jalen Hurts “holding him back” at Bama yet becomes a Heisman finalist without him? Dak was hardly a slam dunk pick. He was a 3rd rounder. Shouldn’t we expect more out of a 7th overall pick than a 3rd rounder? And who’s fault is that if he doesn’t get there? I hate the buddy, nepotism in the nfl. I’m not other field do people who suck at their jobs keep getting chance after chance. Daboll’s highest offense ranked 22 in yards and 20 in points. Sorry but that sucks and isn’t good enough, I don’t question his football knowledge. I don’t question that Allen and other plays left plays on the field? But when is it ok to just day maybe he just isn’t good enough? also, are some folks really not thinking Daboll doesn’t have a huge say in bringing in offensive players? He is part of the reason the offense talent isnt good enough.

While that could be true, there are other factors. If Rosen and Allen got switched, maybe both of their careers are different. They had very similar passing numbers their rookie years. Allen didn’t have his OC fired 4 games into the season. it’s also ok to doubt certain things with Allen. He has shown some good things but he is far from completely established. But as of right, clearly he is having the better career. But I don’t think any reasonable person can argue that he hasn’t been in a much, much better situation to succeed than Rosen.

Couldn’t think of a better mentor to Edmunds.

What do you think is his trade value? I can’t imagine a S nearing 30 who wants a new deal would be that in demand. The Titans scrapped Kenny Vaccaro a former 1st rounder off the garbage heap.

No, total serious question. I’m genuinely curious. A lot of shows are about people who do terrible things but you get a backstory of why. Like Sopranos. Personally, I think they don’t excuse how terrible a person is but I do find them interesting. Like if Hernandez dad never dies, does any of this happen? If he did struggle with his sexuality, does he work so hard to become pretend to be some tough guy? It’s part of my career so I find it fascinating but to each their own.

Great doc though they all must be taken with a grain of salt. My general thought is your past doesn’t excuse your present and future but it’s so interesting how a couple things can totally change your entire life. His fiancée seems like the type of girl you should marry. His HS qb taking about his dimples. ?. And I liked the semi pro guy who was friends with ODin. And how did Brady not get in on some of that action??? just a sad story all around. But hey, the Patriot Way!!! Just our of curiosity, what type of shoes do you normally like?

It’s funny how people think the OC has no say in the offensive personnel, especially with Foster. Maybe the guy who has been a bottom top 10 Nfl OC his whole career just isn’t a good OC.

Haha. I love the buddy system in the nfl. Even though there is overwhelming evidence my friend sucks at his job, I gotta hire him. Garrett is a way better OC. I would trade Daboll and 1,009 beef on wecks for Garrett.

RIP to a true American hero, Forrest Gump.
