Eagles have 2 WR1s. Dolphins will have to do this also. I don’t think SF will.
Believe me, Waddle is about to get paid huge money.

Yea that is an outrage. It needs some better regulation. Because that will be a trend.... good player but not a start at a top 10 programme? Enter the portal go to a top 30 programme who will treat you as the star, give you a load of NIL money and then re-enter and transfer back to a top 10 programme within weeks. Whether you go back to Alabama or to Georgia or Clemson or Michigan is irrelevant to me. You get a chunk of NIL money there should be some expectation that you play for that team.
However, back on topic..... the Super League is a great idea. I have been saying on these boards for years the current model is outdated and not fit for purpose and they should have some sort of division structure with promotion and relegation. You guys who grew up with it might get it but to outsiders college football is completely inaccessible and it is a shame because the product on the field is great. But the system, the conferences, the scheduling, the seeding for playoffs, the various polls and committees etc... it is a mess. I have long felt it needs starting again with a blank sheet of paper. I don't know if it will happen, because of the vested interests and tradition.... but money wise I think in the end it would increase revenues and as we know, money talks!
Agreed. College Football is a wonderful product. I really do enjoy watching players develop. For example, when Davonta Smith caught that famous championship winning pass from Tua in OT, many people don't know that it was only his 4th reception of the season. He went on to be a Heismann Trophy winner. Now, reports say he is on the verge of receiving a 25 million per season contract (as is Jalen Waddle btw). Without a fair system, this great sport will be diminished.

We are the betting favorites to win the division and have the fifth-best odds to win the Super Bowl. It’s not like the media wasn’t running stories last off-season about how the Jets and Dolphins have passed the Bills.
ETA: fifth behind last year’s four finalists.
Hey, it's great to see you posting. Yours has always been one of my favorite screen names. Once, during the draught years, you were having a conversation on TSW with "Pass The Pipe." 😆 There was another guy who was "Pills N Bills." There was never a lack of originality on TBD.
Good times! 👍

I don't mind when you say, that you're going away
I just don't want to be lonely
And I don't care if you share, only moments a day
I just don't want to be lonelyI'd rather be loved and needed
Depended on to give a love I can't give
When you're gone, when you're gone
I just don't want to be lonely
I'd just rather be loved -

if any good can come from this thread and death it is to encourage men to get their prostate checkups as recommended by your Dr.
As far as cancers go I am told this one is very treatable if caught early.

This is great advice. As horrible as it is to get sodomized by the urologist, it can save your life.
On my last visit I asked the urologist if we were dating.

Mock drafts, media analysis, bills fans, etc.. everyone has the Bills doing things to address the WR position with Diggs leaving and the larger hole that is now created. Realistically outside of a trade for a Aiyuk or Tee Higgins type player where it is established WR with a track record of production, the WR position will be a question and probably still an area of concern. Even if the Bills move up to draft one of the big three WRs there will be a question of immediate production and adjustment to the NFL. If the Bills move back and draft 2 WRs in rounds 2-3 your at least initially expectation wise at a lower starting point compared to one of the big three guys. The production Diggs had given even with the drop the back half of the season and the now loss of him and Davis production also is going to be a question for everyone and those stepping in.
Is there a scenario for you that makes you comfortable with the position moving forward?
It depends. If McDermott is serious about the WR position, there would seem to be enough quality receivers in this draft to make a difference. If he decides to focus more on defense (a distinct possibility imo) then yes; we will almost certainly be lacking yet again at WR. Logic tells me that he HAS to address WR often and early. History tells me that he is mostly about defernse.
We will find out soon enough.

Oh seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right, oh yeah
Open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let love come running in, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely timeYeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time -
Oh what a feeling I get when I'm with you
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strongI've had enough, bad love
I need something I can be proud of
I've had enough, bad love
No more bad love -
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on friend -

The concept is it isn't Alabama's money. It's the kid's money. He is selling the rights to use his name/image/likeness.
What bothers you is that the people paying him that money for the right to use his NIL aren't really interested in that. They're interested in paying him to play for Alabama an no one else. I suppose the boosters/car dealerships/whatever could write it into a contract that they'll pay a kid $200,000 with the contract to terminate if he no longer plays football for the University of Alabama. Which is just one more step toward making it clear that he is paid to play football, and not to lend his NIL to some advertiser.
No one really cares if Caitlin Clark goes to Iowa instead of, say, UConn. She's a celebrity now. She's doing national ads. No one cares if Bronny James leaves USC. He'll do ads with his dad even if he goes to Northwest Podunk State. Kadyn Proctor is not marketable if he isn't at Alabama, at least not to Alabama boosters. He is not promoting his own name, image, and likeness. He is being paid to play for Alabama. Sorry, Tide, I can't feel real sorry for you because you are breaking the spirit of the rules and demand loyalty from those kids benefiting from that.
First of all, Alabama isn't asking for sympathy, nor am I. In fact, I clearly expressed sympathy for Iowa and Coach Ferentz, to whom I have zero allegiance. Proctor took Iowa's money (more than 1/2 of what they had alloted as per Coiach Ferentz) and then announced that he is going to re-enter the portal on April 15. There is great speculation that he wants to return to Alabama. Meanwhile, the Alabama players are busting their asses in camp, and the "A Game" is on Saturday.
This is something like an NFL player signing with a team as a UFA, taking their signing bonus, leaving 2 weeks later, and keeping the signing bonus. As you said, the only way around this would be contracts, but would that be safe? How could a school get their money back, especially after some (not all) kids buy cars, jewelry, etc.?
Again, I do not seek sympathy. I would be more prone to feel a bit sorry for you for rooting for an inferior team. Either way, Alabama didn't really get screwed. Iowa did. In fact, Alabama Fans are not too thrilled with Proctor coming back, if in fact Coach DeBoer welcomes him.

Your friends tell you

If I can't see you when I want you
I'll see you when I canIf lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right -
Stockpile them in this deep wr class and provide Allen with better blocking, so the WRs can be better utilized. If the draftees don't do well, repeat the same in 2025. This can and should be done without stupidly giving away draft picks ala Whaley.

I am probably the biggest Alabama Fan in New York but I cannot visualize JC Latham going in the top 10. His weight ballooned up to over 350 pounds and he plays RT. He is a good player but again, #9 does not seem reasonable.

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would payBut I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway -
In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of a song would come trueYou love for real,
You show the feel
Of everything that touches you -
I voted no. We need multiple receivers and blockers which are both said to be plentiful in this draft. Why would we want to trade away early draft picks? This would be an impulsive, poorly thought Whaley type move.
Jmo.

In a class that is said to be loaded at OT, the Bills should absolutely draft at least 1. Dion is HUGE and a great candidate for injury. RT Brown will probably command a HUGE contract when free agency comes around.
If we posters can see this, it isn't asking too much for McDermott to see it.

See here how everything, lead up to this day
And it's just like any other day that's ever been
Sun going up and then, the sun going down
Shine through my window, and my friends they come around
Come around, come around
