Dr. Who

That is a possible interpretation and it is not implausible. My take is different. I don't think Josh was third because he is more a work in progress and thus more questionable, though that may be true. I think Josh was the name that enthused him and was the first to come to mind. I think he felt obliged to mention the best young qbs from the class and that's why he quickly mentioned Darnold and Mayfield before going into the substance of his answer.

This sort of thing makes a mockery of real abuse.

I like the optimism . . .

Dude, more like 2,340. But maybe. Don't think our wr corps is quite that good, though.

Ahh, personally, I'm sorta feeling the schadenfreude with the kid. I didn't want Emo-boy to hoist the Cup and win the Conn Smythe; don't want Entitled to prosper with the Hawks. He'll probably kill it now . . .

Allen is smart and he works hard, so I see no reason why he can't get the processing time sped up to make the quick decision throw, but until he actually does it, it's still in question.

I see. You are being snide. Gotcha.

Moses is the fella that led folks out of Egypt. Favre, Elway, and LSHMEAB's variation on Rivers are good comps.

I tend to agree. Just reporting a rumor.

If McCabe is dealt, does this mean likelihood is Risto stays? Whether he wants to stay or not, I'm not dealing unless the return is big.

Fella who posts over at the Sabres hockeybuzz site who sometimes gets a thing or two right is saying there might be a trade with Florida. He's hearing McCabe, E-rod, and a pick for Hoffman. Grain of salt and all that.

Fortunately, I hate Carolina.

Let's put them together -- it's a misery-go-round.

Yes, but rhetorically effective.

Yeah, I don't see the desperation narrative at all. I think you consider Antonio Brown because you're confident in your locker room and think you can bring a fella like that in. Anyway, that's a counter-narrative. If they hit on Allen, they're going to be here a long time. If not, probably not. All the other speculation is peripheral.

I am in the keep Risto camp unless there is a ridiculous offer coming back. Starting to think the draft preference is Cozens, Zegras, with Newhook as a dark horse.

I think it has to be a UFA thing. Rangers taking a chance. At least the Jets don't have to worry they are getting little return on a future Conn Smythe winner

Seemed like a light return. I don't know anything about the prospect.

Looks like Trouba traded to the Rangers for pick #20 and a prospect.

Other than Antoinio Brown which doesn't look like it was really an option, where were the really good options? I think Dawson Knox was drafted in the sweet spot for TE. There are supposed to be a lot of very good WRs at the top of next years draft, not so much the past draft. I think it's alright to be skeptical about evaluation on the offensive side of the ball up to this point -- Fat Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, and the fella with the shoe collection we wasted a seventh on don't inspire confidence -- but on the other side, I'm not writing Zay Jones off just yet and Foster was a pleasant surprise. Anyway, WR corp looks adequate to me, which is an improvement. The main effort to help Josh Allen was the oline, which I hope will be somewhat more than adequate. I expect serious investment next year in WR through draft and free agency. I think Josh has enough to progress, though obviously top end talent at WR would help a lot.

Then you are expecting Cody Ford to start at RG. I think the Ford pick changes their plans. Nsekhe becomes a high-priced swing tackle imo, but we'll see.

Go buy a Brady jersey quick.

I basically agree with John C's response. There are levels of incompetency. Maybe you think JBots is a complete idiot. I don't.

In which case, ROR's public expression ought to be ironized, no? He's not just some simple, hardworking emo who was blindsided by a trade. But maybe Jbots didn't realize ROR was a good player so he traded him for a bad return just because, you know, he's a dim.

ROR can say whatever he wants for public consumption. If the fella didn't want out, he wouldn't have been traded.
