Many great movies listed already, but for me it's The Naked Gun

We'll find out in a few years.

Watched him a lot. If he played with a half-decent QB, let alone on a good team, he'd be a consensus Top-20 pick. Moore is difficult to evaluate since his job was to "get open fast and stay open." - By far the best player on Maryland. - Not tall (5' 11") but physical (215 lb). - Most of the time he was the only true receiving option. - Won't be the fastest WR but gets separation with quick moves. - Good, willing blocker. Could be a decent special teams player on coverage and punt returns. - I believe he has a ton of potential growth when he's not expected to do everything. Very coachable and smart. Could be a great Julian Edleman replacement for NE/Brady (I hope this doesn't happen). I think he would thrive in a west coast offense (Rosen) or something improvisational (Mayfield, Jackson).

How is jewelry an investment? Land, stocks, bonds, beanie babies but not jewelry.

Panic set in quick.

Benrus put up a clock and will make the Bills pay for it.

This scenario makes no sense.

And if those teams don’t want to trade? I haven’t read the rules but I’m pretty sure the Bills can’t force any other team to give up their pick. Though they could build a time machine to lose a few more games last season.

This post makes much more sense.

Very impressive study. Reinforced my desire to get Rosen and Jackson, made me feel better about Mayfield (but still nagging doubts) but made me more confused about Rudolph. Well, “Every 2017 throw of a quarterback available to me was graded.” That’s pretty comprehensive.

Death has its limitations.

Ill be blunt. This is dumb metric.

If you liked Tabula Rasa you might like Hotel Beau Séjour (Netflix). Belgian miniseries, same directors, writers. Stay with me, murdered teenager tries to solve her own murder. Dark, suspenseful and well written. I have have a longer list of recommendations in this thread. (Mostly to fish for recommendations of those I share similar tastes)

You’re probably glad I didn’t try to explain the plot. Night Manger is excellent. Could have been convoluted but found it well plotted. I think Hugh Laurie is a supremely underrated actor. The Bridge — Wait to find Danish/Swedish version. Look forward to your recommendations as well. I find I’m a hard grader and can easily give up on shows.

You may not be familiar with speed times, but two tenths is lifetime. If you've seen LJ play so much and not see the differences, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't see the difference. I hope he gets it together, changes his life/attitude and finds success on the field. We could always use more success stories.

Not identical at all and LJ is (much) faster than TT, running a 4.34 last March.

Then I don't get your negative attitude. Why wouldn't you want to encourage Manzeil? Encouragement doesn't cost anything and could have great benefits. I'm sure anyone trying to tackle life issues could use the help regardless of circumstance.

Jeez, let's at least give Manziel a chance to make a comeback. He seems to have done many things to get his life together and deserves our encouragement not our scorn.

OMG. So many what ifs, it's almost as if you can't always control who you want and how they'll turn out.

Still would like to know how Bills force Giants to trade down to #12 when they have several players that would be great for their team. No doubt there are countless Giants fans who would go nuts if the Giants made that move but go ahead, dream a little.

IMO, this post, and many like it, is littered with false premises. First - "They" are not around anymore. Entirely new front office. The "they" of today at least deserve a chance to prove themselves. Second - Have to say it, it's easy to "call" moves after a few years. So, Iet's just say that's an unprovable assertion. Third - "Because they don't want to be wrong" is again unprovable. No one but the decision makers will really know the reasons behind a choice. Fourth - "Do whatever it takes to get him." Really? Life doesn't work that way because it's not a computer game. What if the Giants want Rosen? What if no amount of trade bait will make them change their mind. What could you possibly do about it? (Except, perhaps, get into a time machine and make the Bills lose 15 games. Though the time machine would help correct all the hindsight picks as well - Super Bowl!) "In 5 yrs remember the crazy guy on the Bills forum that told you that and then look at whatever excuse the McBeanes give for not getting him and it will all make sense" We have no doubt.

Good thread. I'll be a little different - I'll put down best and worse case scenarios Darnold - Best: Face of Franchise (Stafford) Worse: Solid to Weak Starter / Cousins to Cutler Rosen - Best: Face of Franchise (Eli Manning) Worse: Bust (agree: concussions/injury/David Carr - if healthy - Solid Starter - Cousins) Allen - Best: Face of Franchise (Flacco-plus) Worse: Bust (Ryan Leif) Mayfield - Best: Solid Starter (Cousins) Worse: Back-up (Sanchez) Jackson - Best: Face of Franchise (Vick) Worse: Weak starter Rudolph - Best: HOF pace (Brady) Worse: Weak starter (Bortles) Was going to mention this as well. I think team and situation make a huge difference. I just went on theory that each QB has an equal chance to shine.

So, who are this year's franchise QBs, Swami? If you are so sure, why would any other team trade with us? As far as I could tell, Browns and Jets need a QB; a good case could be made that Eli might only have one more year with the Giants, Denver wouldn't be shy, etc. It's what I love about sports, political and economic punditry, there is no accountability, no consequences. For each front office, their very livelihood is on the line, that's a pretty good incentive to do what they believe is right. As for me, I have faith that McBeane will do what's best for the team and will reserve judgement until the end of next season.
