Terry's just there to water the plants. He has no desire to do anything day-to-day...

Pretty much. Plus, from Terry's perspective, the benefits are better...

Good taste on the first. Poor judgement if on the second...

Terry hired her after meeting her in the diner she waitressed in.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Pegulaing "After following her brothers' footsteps in enrolling at Houghton College, she and a roommate made plans to venture to Alaska to work near a fishing camp upon hearing there was money to be made. Unable to afford the fare, she applied for work at a restaurant in Olean, New York; while interviewing for a waitressing gig, she met Terry Pegula, who was dining at the restaurant. Terry offered her a job at his natural gas company, and they eventually entered a relationship, marrying in 1993."

Wake me 'GR is a source of information rather than flatulence...

smh. As new owners, that's exactly what Brandon should have been doing...

Is the irony of how Kim got to be Mrs. Pegula lost on anyone today?

Rico, you've been the biggest anti-Brandon guy I can think of on TSW. This must be a happy day for you...

Good to be queen, though. It's a matriarchy at PS&E and Terry's just there to water the plants, IMO...

How so?

That's Terry's job...He's sort of a Chauncey Gardiner type anyway.

Ohhhhh. I don't want that mental image AT ALL.....

Why? That's been a brilliant success...

I know this is a serious subject, but... Doesn't this strike anyone as a brilliant, Russ Brandon-type marketing move to distract fans from criticizing the Allen pick??

Kim wears the pants at PS&E, so I guess she'd be as good a spokesperson as any...

That's it! I am so done with this team! Oh, wait...

True. That's human nature and TSW way. But saying "I was wrong" is a rarity as well...

And if he flames out? We'll hear a lot of crickets, I suspect...

Actually, that's just the way YOU take it. People expressing an opinion that Allen has warts that may derail his career--and that another guy would have been a better pick--are not saying they know more than professional scouts. They're saying, [fill in blank] was a better pick IMO and Allen has warts. You may not agree, but it's no more hilarious than your take...

On the contrary, that's exactly what a QB has to process. He has to adjust, like an auto pilot on an airplane to the conditions. It's not just repeating the same physical activity over and over--and that's why it's the hardest position to play well in sports. At the NFL level, the mental processing has to be there or all the physical talent in the world is useless...

I agree. I just hope he can fix the mechanical flaws. I just don't understand when his coaching staff, the announcers, the team mascot and the beer vendor are saying "set your feet, don't over-stride, don't throw off your back foot, don't just use your arm" that he consistently continued to do those things anyway? Even at the Senior Bowl practices he had some of the same throwing problems. When he calmed down in the second half of that game, after realizing that he had some pass protection, he looked a lot better. But I'm worried about the "deer in the headlights" Josh Allen that I saw in so much of his 2017 game video. Will that guy remember his coaching, or will he revert back to an over-reliance on his strong arm? Training camp can't come soon enough...

Well, a pitcher trying to consistently hit the corner of the plate strikes me as a lot different than a QB who has to understand what the defense is doing, make plays on the fly when his protection is breaking down and anticipate the open receiver before the pattern has even been run. It's more than physical, it's mental processing and quick decision making under stress as well...

I agree to some extent, but the biggest projection I see with Allen is a conviction that his mechanical flaws can be corrected by "good coaching." That's old school NFL thinking in a nutshell...

I'm with you on this. The TV ratings and fan support are just the tip of the iceburg. Buffalo is almost like the eighth Canadian NHL team. The 20%+ of Sabres season ticket holders who come over the bridges are important to the league...

Not adjusted for arm strength, but here are some Wonderlic comparables... Blaine Gabbert (42 score) Ryan Nassib (41) Brian Griese (39) Colin Kaepernick (38) Akili Smith (37) Drew Bledsoe (36) Matt Leinart (35) Christian Ponder (35) Ryan Tannehill (34) Johnny Manziel (32) Joey Harrington (32) JP Losman (31) Trent Edwards (31) Brady Quinn (29) Rex Grossman (29) Mark Sanchez (28) Even more prevalent among TSW...
