    The gift of a counterfeit jersey

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Years ago, I had a friend whose brother-in-law was selling knock off jerseys & he gave me a Trent Edwards counterfeit jersey.  It looked pretty real.  I wore it to one game & then the Bills cut Edwards. Because the name on the back of the uniform was a separate cloth sewn into the jersey, I was able to cut out the name Edwards. Then the Bills changed their uniforms & I never wore it again. I still have the jersey in a closet with other stuff I can't wear.  In 2018 I bought a real Josh Allen jersey at a local mall after the Vikings game and it's the only Bills jersey I need, and I don't have to worry about Josh getting cut.

    Back in those days the scoreboard sucked and I used to bring a small TV into the games to watch the replays.  Before the blocked kick I said "The Bills are going to block the kick & return it for a TD" Seconds later that happened.  The guy in front of us turned and asked if my TV can see the future.

    Who is the worst franchise QB in the NFL?

    That's a good question. But to get there you have to decide how many true franchise QBs there are. I mean how many guys would you say "here is a player you could take and build a team around and him being on the field will get you X amount of extra wins"?

     

    Obviously Mahomes, Allen, Jackson and Burrow. Then some of the younger guys possibly who still aren't fully proven like Bo and Daniels. But there are plenty of guys with franchise QB contracts I don't consider true franchise QBs. A few older vets like Stafford.

     

    Dak to me is the one that comes to mind. Plenty of people love him, and when he's on he's great but so often I see him and think he's pretty pedestrian. Goff has been great the last few years but is he really a franchise QB? I love Baker and defended him a lot here when people were writing him off but again, not sure he's true franchise QB material.

     

    Lawrence is in no way shape or form a franchise QB, other than his contract. Tua actually proved something when you see how bad that offense is without him. He's a system QB who runs that system perfectly in the right conditions but we all know what happens in bad weather and when he has to improvise. He's like a comedian who is great when he's sticking to a script someone else has written but goes to pieces when he has to ad lib. 

     

    I think the title question is inaccurate.  Instead of who is the worst franchise QB, it should be who is the worst QB being paid like a franchise QB.  At the start of last season, the answer was pretty clear cut: Daniel Jones. Now I think the candidate for worst contract (outside of the sidelined Deshaun Watson who is the clear #1 as long as Cleveland is paying him) is Brock Purdy.

    Todd Schlopy made 2 out of 5 FG attempts to win a scab game against the NYG (with Lawrence Taylor crossing the picket line) 6-3 in 1987.

     

    It was the worst football game I’ve ever witnessed in person.

     

    I still have that game on VHS tape, but I'd have to go to my basement & hook up the dusty VCR to the 1986 TV, which is also down there collecting dust, in order to watch it.

    Jeff Nixon, an excellent big play safety until injuries derailed his career. 

    After an interception on opening day 1980, they put "Nixon for President" on the scoreboard.

    Brings back memories of Joe Namath in a Rams uniform, Johnny Unitas in a Chargers uniform, and Jim McMahon in one of the many uniforms that he wore after he left the Bears.  McMahon bounced around so much that at one stop a NY Post columnist once called him "So washed up, he never has to bathe again."

    Jets are allowing season ticket holders to sell back up to 3 games for credit

    There is no reason, thats not financial, that would incentivize the team to do this.  Are they re-selling the tickets for more themselves LOL?  Or partnering with stubhub to pass it off to them, where they'll mark it up and kick the Jets a percentage of the overage LOL

     

    Slimy feline behavior lol

    They're locking the fans into buying 2026 seasons, or the credit is worthless.

    ‘didn't say he wasn't good.....said he isn't very smart’. This was what you wrote. You might want to look up the definition of assumptions. 
     

    I think a guy that has been a successful qb in the NFL for several years isn’t dumb regardless of whatever test he took before coming to the league. 
     

    Didn’t realized we’re arguing. lol. But it’s interesting that you think some anonymous poster’s opinion that doesn’t aligned with yours equates to an argument. You have a great day as well. 

    I remember the days when Terry Bradshaw was called Dumb.

    That seems like an awful lot.

    That's the going rate on Ticket Exchange unless you want to sit at the very top rows of the stadium.  I paid a little extra not to walk an extra 10-20 rows up.  I'm old & can't take stadium stairs very well. Take a look at what the seats are going for, $227 is the cheapest.  https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/2D00627B9AFB5255?brand=panthers&artistid=805909&wt.mc_id=NFL_TEAM_CAR_SGT_PG_LINK_HOME_4&utm_source=single_game&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=sales-schedulerelease-2025&utm_content=SGT_PG_LINK_HOME_4&persistUserId=tm8e7b67c7ef9e7e62

    The flip side of this question is:

     

    How much $$ would it take if it meant the Bills wouldnt win a Super Bowl (only) this year?

     

     

    "For the rest of my life" would take $100M, but for just this season, I'd probably sell out the team and my friends and family for like... $50k. Mayyyybe even $10k.

    Every year the Bills don't get in I end up saving thousands by not going to the Super Bowl.  This season they have to get in because I have family in the Bay area & I won't have any lodging expense.

    Antonio Brown in big trouble...again

    Authorities in Miami-Dade County are seeking to arrest former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown on a charge of attempted murder stemming from a shooting at a celebrity boxing event in May, according to a warrant reviewed by The Washington Post.

    The warrant, which was signed by a judge Wednesday, lists a charge of attempted murder with a firearm and calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest pending trial. Efforts to reach Brown, 36, were unsuccessful Thursday evening; it was unclear whether he was represented by an attorney. A spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office declined to comment.
