  1. But the Browns blew more draft picks than a hooker at the combine.
  2. They're trying to build a champion over a few years, not trying to go 8-8 every year which is what keeping the players you want to keep would get us. You just want to feel good on a Sunday this October, they want to feel good on Super Bowl Sunday in 2-3 years and subsequent Super Bowl Sundays. You must have loved the Jauron era, 7 good feeling Sundays a year.
  3. Can he play QB? Can't do any worse than Peterman.
  4. Time for you to find another team. They're not going anywhere. Why don't you wake up and look at the backup QB in the league and knock off your criticism of management who know a lot more than you do. Here are some rosters you can look at & see that around the league there are a lot of bad scenarios waiting to happen if their teams starters go down. Most of the backups are other teams rejects taken off the scrap heap or guys who have virtually no real game experience: Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, San Diego, Oakland (AJ was so bad in camp the Bills traded him), Dallas, NY Giants (their 2nd stringer is another Bills reject on his 9th team & their 3rd stringer is a mid round rookie) , Carolina, San Francisco (after JG injury), Seattle .
  5. They get that way because after having to deal with some of the most insane & stupid calls and after a few years they know they're smarter than most callers, because the smart ones don't kill their whole afternoon waiting on the phone line so they can state an opinion. I remember years ago I used to listen to a now dead political talk show host who would constantly say things like "I can't take it anymore, I've got to get out of here."
  6. Come on Mrs. Peterman. I know you love the big bucks your husband pulls in as an NFL player, but the gravy train can't go on forever. Tell Nate to retire and go back home & volunteer at his old high school so that next year when high school coaching jobs open up he can land a job in football where he can actually succeed.
  7. I guess I shouldn't have gone over your head with sarcasm. I was basically saying your OP was garbage, and never meant for you to think that I was actually comparing any situation with Tom Brady's. Now I guess you understand.
  8. These defensive minded coaches should never be allowed to coach a team that doesn't have a 5 year veteran franchise QB. They'll never develop a young QB. Look at what defensive genius Belichick did in NE. He took this young QB, was very conservative with him the 1st year he started & ruined the guy. It's been 17 years since anyone remembers that kid Tom Brady that Belichick made disappear.
  9. 4 games is not so many chances. For the OP to use that term was wrong. I'm certainly not part of any contingent that wants him to get another shot. My point was that the only reason he got any shot to fail 3x was because 1) Tyrod was playing so poorly. 2) McCarron bombed. 3) Allen got hurt after Peterman's replacement was already signed but it was too early for him to be ready. The only reason he got any chances was due to unforeseen circumstances. For the record, I'm the guy who started calling Peterman "Nathan Marangi" as soon as the calls for him to play started. I also got flamed by the Peterman crowd by mocking Tasker's support for Peterman by asking if Tasker is Peterman's agent. So if anything, I've always been part of the anti-Peterman group, not the other way around. You need a reading comprehension course before you start calling a post you've totally misunderstood dumb. Learn to read. All I said was so many chances is not a correct term. I stand by it. Again, learn to read English.
  10. If Peterman wants to redeem himself, he should trade his car in for a scooter.
  11. The same record as AJ's current team.
  12. I don't see where he's been given "so many chances". He made the team as a rookie backup & when the starter was playing horribly, the coach tried him in an attempt to shake up the offense & he failed. Then in the offseason they drafted the QB of the future and decided not to waste a fortune like Arizona did with Bradford and settled for McCarron. McCarron was bad in mini camps and preseason & they decided to cut bait. They didn't feel Allen was ready after the Cincy preseason game so the last man standing was Peterman. He started & lasted a little over a half. Then they eventually sign Anderson & have the misfortune to lose Allen one week before Anderson is ready to play. They have tried with McCarron & now Anderson to have an adequate 2nd stringer or placeholder starter to replace Peterman & got stuck with Peterman twice this season due to the 1st guy failing to be what they thought he was and the 2nd guy being a week away. Hardly "so many chances" for Peterman.
  13. On Inside The NFL last night, Boomer was predicting the Bills will trade Shady to Philly after this week's games.
  14. Does anyone know if Anderson can hold on FGs?
  15. I'd rather see Allen vs Luck in primetime, so screw NBC, I'm watching Shameless.
  16. QB ratings are as worthless as used toilet paper.
  17. I was watching that game & when NBC switched to Heidi, I turned the game on, on the radio. Most of the nation didn't have that option but I grew up in the suburbs of NYC.
  18. He has another chance to shine. Josh Allen's shoes need polishing & buffing.
  19. Don't try to eat them. ?
  20. He had more catches for more yards than anyone on the Bills last year. If your art collection is a bunch of finger paints by a kindergarten class, a starving artist's painting represents a huge upgrade. We're not looking for Julio Jones here, just anyone who will upgrade the WRs this season. At this time of year you take whoever represents a short term upgrade and worry about the long term in the offseason.
  21. The QB of those offenses was Tyrod Taylor who came in as a backup & has returned to his natural status. Is the Bills offense the same as when Tyrod was the QB? The answer is no.
  22. As with the class of 2004, based on the odds that the QBs taken in the top 11 have a much better chance of success over the guy picked later in the 1st round, I'd put my $ on Lamar Jackson being the failure of the group. Now there are exceptions like Marino & Rodgers, but after you get past the 1st half of round 1, many of the later 1st round QB picks are reaches by teams that jump the gun in the attempt to get their QB of the future. A team that takes the 1st round crumbs that are left of a QB class after the cream of the crop has been taken doesn't usually fare so well. Also in a bad QB draft just taking a QB in the 1st round out of desperation rarely works: see Manuel, E.J. One thing I have to say about the 4 top 10 QBs this year. One of the things pundits in favor of keeping a rookie on the bench say is they're afraid a rookie QB confidence can be ruined with a few bad outings. Look at these 4 guys, while I admit I have no idea what Sam Darnold's & Lamar Jackson's personality are like, I'm pretty sure that there's no way that anyone could do anything to shake the confidence level of Allen, Mayfield, or Rosen. At this point those 3 guys are fearless & could be intercepted 10 times in their next game and still come out throwing on their next series. While Rosen plays more with quiet confidence, Allen & Mayfield are always fired up & ready to go.
  23. It looks like most of you are either too young or didn't follow the USFL. Kelly played 2 of the 3 USFL seasons. He didn't sign in time to play the 1st season and ended up signing with the expansion Houston Gamblers. He played for the Gamblers both of their 2 seasons. He lit it up but took a lot of sacks running the run and shoot offense. I'll give you an example of Kelly's toughness even in the USFL: I was listening to a NJ Generals/Gamblers game (I was living in the NY metro area in the 3 USFL seasons) on my way home from Queens to Suffolk County. In the 1st half Kelly went out with a knee injury. The announcers were feeling bad for Houston because they speculated that Kelly would be lost for weeks. The 2nd half starts and to the announcers amazement Kelly returns to the game. That was my introduction to the toughness of Jim Kelly. After the 3rd USFL season in spring 1985 it was announced there would be a move to the fall in 1986. One aspect of that move was the merger of Houston into the Generals. The Generals already had Doug Flutie at QB but everyone knew Kelly would be the Generals QB . The Generals actually had a camp where Flutie and Kelly were shown in photos throwing side by side. After the league ended up with the $3 verdict the league eventually suspended operations letting the p!ayers go to the NFL. By that time a number had already left for the NFL with some leaving after the spring of 1985 and playing the fall 1985 NFL season. The suspension eventually became the folding of the USFL.
