    It's not up to the school how good of a pro they are lol

     

    It's their job to win college football games and get the best high school player and develop him 

     

    What they do in the pros is all up to the player...

     

    And it's more than just talent you have to be a leader of grown men... 

     

    Darnold had talent coming out... He's too much of a laid-back surfer boy to lead grown ass man

     

     


    That’s cool and all. But when I see, not one bust, but a string of busts, you have to start wondering about the school’s QB developmental system. Are they recruiting QBs to maximize their profits or are in the business of getting their QBs ready to be pros.

  2. I don’t believe in arm punts. It depends on the other team actually intercepting it. They’ll be some dumb or selfish players who will intercept it, but the smart play will be to bat it down.

    Contracts coming up include Lawrence, Prescott, Love and Tua! So glad we got Josh taken care of when we did. Go Bills!!🏈🍻


    Tua will be the highest paid QB once he signs his contract. Guaranteed. Does he deserve it? Absolutely not, but neither do most of these top 10 QBs. There’s warts on Joe Burrow, but he’s currently the highest paid QB.

    The Josh Allen numbers are slightly skewed. Diggs accounts for 12% of our 2024 cap and he’s not even on the team. You take that out, Josh accounts for even high proportion. Still, these numbers are pretty tight.

    And then we have athletes who can make TEN TIMES that amount for roughly 7 month's work! I guess they'll keep getting paid even more, until the fans finally say "we've had enough and we don’t care anymore." Personally, I'm almost there.


    And teachers get flack because they have the summer off too.

    Not how it works... Honestly a new deal helps the bills because we have been restructuring his deal to create space year over year.  His $60M in 25 is a boat anchor cap wise, and $59 in 26 is just as bad.  If they restructure in 25 to alleviate some of that pressure, it kicks to the next years again.

     

    '25 isn't when they "have to" make something work, they can easily kick the can in '25 and worry about it all in '26. That's the beauty of having him with 4 more years still. But now is when you consider being proactive so you can lock up your franchise QB longer, while structuring the deal to give you 4-5 more years or flexibility rather than just year to year can kicking.

     

    Doesn't have to be done, but it's worth considering for sure.

     

    And to your silly headline point of "he can get a new contract when he gets a ring", what are we gonna do, let him walk in 2029 if he doesn't?? Lol

     

    Allen is physically the best most impressive QB in the NFL.  Mahomes is better because he wins, but Allen is right there with what he can do on the football field. He's easily the best in franchise history, and his pooping on NFL records along the way.  Dude is already on track for all timer and HOF if his career stays on this trajectory.  Yes we a want a SB or 8, but that doesn't detract from how amazing he is. 

     

    Remember, Manning was drafted in '98 and didn't win a SB til 2006... He's still top 3 QBs ever.  Josh is young and has at least a decade left in him, plenty of time for at least one SB.

     

    Acting like he isn't worth a contract because he doesn't have a ring is just plain stupid and simplistic.

     

     


    I get we would extend him to gain cap relief and I also get that we would never let him walk in FA. I was responding to the post that we would need to pay him because he has fallen down the pecking order in terms of top paid QBs. That’s what happens when you sign a long term contract. Mahomes has won 3 Super Bowls, 2 of which came after he signed his current contract. Yet, Mahomes is the 9th highest paid QB and I don’t see him asking for a new contract. 

  5. I wonder how much GMs tell each other on draft day. For example, prior to a trade, do they tell the partnering team who they will be selecting? If so, it makes sense that we traded with the Chiefs. This is further supported by Beane saying the Chiefs would’ve picked Worthy anyways. If we knew they were going to pick a player we weren’t interested in, it makes sense to trade the pick to them.

  6. I personally like the makeup of this offense. If you want to go watch fast Smurfs, you can watch Miami. Not only do we have a QB that will run over a linebacker, we now have WR/TEs and RBs to run through them. This offense will wear defenses into the ground. And once that happens, Josh can throw some daggers, ones only he can throw, to put them out of their misery.

    16 teams, half of the league got a comp pick.

    LAR & SF both got 5 picks.

     


    I get the minority hiring comp picks or if a team truly wants a player back, but it seems weird that if a team actively lets a player go, why should they get a comp pick. Edmunds for example, it really doesn’t seem like we had any intention of re-signing him. Then we have a SB team getting the most comp picks, so we can’t say they are given out for parity.
