The plan is to draft a QB in a year or 2 with key players locked up while the QB is on a rookie contract for at least 3 years. Not a bad plan if they find the right QB, but the last time the Jets drafted the right QB was 2000 when they drafted Chad Pennington, and even then it was the same year NE drafted Tom Brady 5 rounds later.

Is MTG really that dumb? (Obvious answer is yes). Epstein killed himself when he was awaiting trial. He would have received a much longer sentence, like Ghislaine Maxwell, who got 20 years .

The only time Fields has been misused is when his team has put him on the field instead of keeping him on the bench. He's a career backup who has no business starting.

I have a Larry Felser column from The Sporting News from 1986. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it on the internet, so I'll type it out (I've abbreviated words like quarterback to QB). I think after 39 years the statute of limitations on typing this article has expired. The author, one of my favorite columnists of all time has been gone a long time. It basically explains how a talented QB isn't damaged by going to a bad team. I don't think the game has changed to the point that you couldn't ruin a QB in the 1980s but can now. Kelly's Plight Isn't Unusual As soon as Jim Kelly began negotiating with the Buffalo Bills to begin his NFL career, the chuckling started: "Poor Jim. He will have to play with that hapless team. He deserves a better fate...the Raiders, the Rams or some other team in Lotus Land." If Kelly signs a contract with the Bills, he will be coming to a team that bears a strong resemblance to a dead horse, but it will not be a unique experience. Kelly already has been compared to-sometimes rated above-most of the quarterbacks playing today. If he plans to translate those claims into reality in the record book, he will have to make something out of very little for the Bills, because that is what most of the great QBs have done. Consider San Francisco's Joe Montana, whom many pro football experts rank as the best QB playing today. In 1978, the year before Montana was drafted by the 49ers, they had a 2-14 record. They were 2-14 in his rookie season, 6-10 the next year, then compiled a 13-3 record and won the Super Bowl in his third. The Bears were 6-10 in 1981, the season that qualified them to select Jim McMahon. When McMahon was a rookie in the strike-shortened 1982 season, the Bears were 3-6. They were 8-8 in '83, 10-6 in '84 and 15-1 in last year's Super Bowl championship campaign. Dan Fouts' brilliant career as San Diego's QB obscures his unhappy beginnings. The Chargers were 4-9-1 in 1972, the year before he came to them. They were worse his rookie season, and it wasn't until Don Coryell took over as coach in 1978, Fouts' 7th season, that he played on a winning team. Denver moped along at 2-7 in 1982, the season before John Elway came to the Broncos. The Broncos were 9-7 his rookie season, 13-3 the next year and 11-5 last year. The major exception of a top current QB making his debut with a poor team was Dan Marino, who went to a Miami team in 1983 that had played in the previous Super Bowl with David Woodley at QB. So the Dolphins were 12-4 in Marino's rookie campaign and 14-2 including a trip to the Super Bowl, his second year. Then there is Terry Bradshaw, the only QB ever to go 4 for 4 in Super Bowls. The Pittsburgh Steelers were 1-13 in 1969, which is the reason they got to select Bradshaw with the first pick in the draft. The Steelers were 5-9 in his rookie year, 6-8 in 1971, 11-3 in '72, 10-4 in '73, and 10-3-1 in '74, when they capped the season with their first Super Bowl victory. If Kelly is as good a QB as his admirers claim, he'll have the same sort of chance to prove it that most of his peers did. Besides, he has the jump on them, two years as a professional, although he did play in a league of inferior quality. Kelly may be surprised at what he finds on Buffalo's offensive roster when he gets to the Bills-assuming he does. Buffalo has been choosing wide receivers with premium draft picks for three years. Andre Reed caught 48 passes a year ago. Only Eddie Brown of Cincinnati and Jerry Rice of San Francisco caught more among rookies. Chris Burkett and Jimmy Teal are also talented youngsters, and the Bills still have slick veteran Jerry Butler. Buffalo's principal strength is in the backfield, with Greg Bell, Joe Cribbs and top draftee Ronnie Harmon. The Bills offensive line allowed 42 sacks last year, but nearly half of those came because QBs panicked in situations when the opposition knew they had to pass. Kelly was sacked 73 times in his rookie year in Houston. Save the tears for Kelly. He'll be no worse off than most of the other top QBs were when they started.

The Bills team in 2018 was bad, Josh basically willed the team to 5 of the wins. Josh made Robert Foster look like an NFL receiver because even as a rookie, in spite of looking a lot worse on paper than he did on the field, Josh was already a difference maker. The O-line was a total mess, resulting from the losses of both Wood & Incognito. Losing those 2 guys made a big difference from 2017 to 2018. Our WR corps were a bunch of dregs both seasons after losing Woods & dumping Watkins before the 2017 season. Beane understood how bad things were in 2018 & revamped the O-line & WRs. Unfortunately, in revamping the O-line he ended up dumping Teller in favor of Feliciano, but no GM is perfect. Basically, we have a difference of opinion because I don't believe you can ruin a talented QB unless you do something that gets the guy a career threatening injury. I know a lot of people believe in the ruin a QB theory, but you'll never convince me of that theory. I believe more bad QBs ruin their coaches than the other way around. Bad scouting is the reason for busts at QB a lot more than bad coaching or bad rosters.

The 2018 Bills fit your description & it didn't destroy Josh Allen. That team had one of the worst O-lines & a whole lot of nothing at WR.

I hate to say this, but Coleman isn't going to be on the receiving end of many throws. Shakir, Palmer, Samuel & Moore will be the top 4 receivers. If a returner emerges from the WR group, Coleman may be one of the usual suspects on the inactive list & if someone else surprises in camp, he might even get traded. Under, by a mile.

Here's what Aaron Rodgers does at golf courses: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/aaron-rodgers-refuses-to-sign-autograph-for-fan-because-he-didn-t-know-enough-details-about-a-2005-game/ar-AA1IrqBC?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=a5921315422a44dc9afea7afd817e0a2&ei=18 Rodgers got into a tense exchange with a fan he claimed was an "autograph hound" during the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament on Thursday. The veteran quarterback was signing autographs on the course at Edgewood Tahoe Resort and bumped into the male fan, who claimed he was at a Packers-Saints game "20 years ago." According to the New York Post, the fan had a ticket from the Green Bay Packers' 52-3 win over the Saints in 2005, when Rodgers was a backup for Brett Favre. "I remember the score; it was a blowout," the fan said. "Who'd we play?" Rodgers asked, and the fan replied correctly, saying New Orleans. Not convinced, Rodgers said, "Yeah, it's on the ticket," pointing to the stub. The fan then incorrectly guessed the score by 2 points, saying the game finished 50-3. "And I played?" the 4-time MVP retorted. "One pass, though," the fan responded. "I remember you threw a pass … I don't remember it like that, I was 16, 20 years ago." Rodgers, however, highlighted that he remembered the game and who he connected with on that pass, leading the fan to compliment his "great memory." Their conversation dragged on as he advised the fan to "look it up," referring to the game stats. "You can look it up, though, and I would believe you then I would sign your thing," Rodgers said, "but since I don't believe you, I'm not going to sign it." The fan's face fell dejectedly, and he started walking away, insisting he was at the game.

My sleeper of the year is Buddy Nix in his living room watching games on his big screen TV from his La-Z-Boy recliner.

He was washed when he was with the Giants.

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.

Good news and bad news: The bad news: He'll be in prison soon The good news: He won't have to worry about money, room & board.

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.

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

Another player who went to the NY Jets only to see his career die a slow death.

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."

If I slept 10 straight hours I'd wake up in a puddle.

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

Why isn't Hailee in the bed with him?

I remember the days when Terry Bradshaw was called Dumb.

Lamar's Revenge "I'm going to personally tackle anyone who intercepts me." 😄

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
