Rivers and Roethlisberger (and Eli) are 15 years in and are 20,000+ yards behind Brees. Rodgers is 14 years in the league and is over 30,000 yards behind Bress (and he is slowly falling apart). Brady won't catch him either.
Their only hope of even coming close is if Brees retires today.
No chance.
Rogers sat the bench for three years. Otherwise, he’d have a chance. (Rodgers would also put up better numbers if he played in a dome in the NFC south, like Brees.)
The point is that QBs can play for a very long time in the modern era, and often continue to get better well into their 30s. There’s no reason to believe that someone like Mahomes or Goff couldn’t duplicate what Brees has done, as incredible as his achievements might seem.

Exactly--both of these guys will play possible 20 seasons. No others will achieve this going forward.
Nonsense. If two current QBs are racking up huge numbers into their 40s, why is there “zero chance” that other guys could do the same in the future, especially given the rule changes to protect QBs and help the passing game? Hell, there are a number of other guys playing right now who might come close—Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers. No reason to think they are going away any time soon. Great QBs can play for a loooong time and that’s likely to be even more true in the future.

The compensation at best would likely be a 4th maybe 5th. I’d do it though, he’s got limited time left and the Eagles can still do something this year. This team has tons of holes and another draft pick will help restock the shelves.
Thanks for bringing a dose of sanity to this thread. The Eagles aren’t trading a second or third round draft choice for a 30-year old RB. They can probably get Le’Veon Bell for that price and can sign someone off a practice squad for free. If Beane can get a fourth, he’s a genius.

Don't get me wrong, I agree - the past three games our Defense has performed among the top defenses in the league this year, and I do believe we have one of the better units in the league. But we are far from consistent - outside of the Minnesota and Tennessee games, we've looked like a bottom feeder defense. Consistency is the piece here and the reason for my pragmatism.
We have a lot of young talent at present, and our identity takes shape when the defense can play with momentum from turnovers. But remove the turnover aspect from the game and who are we? We're the defense that showed up against Baltimore, SD, and GB. All I'm saying is don't write home just yet. Consistency > hot/cold turnover diff opportunity defenses. Ball can only bounce our way so many times, but it doesn't mean we can't like what we see either.
The defense played pretty damn well vs GB. With a historically inept offensive performance, they kept the game from getting completely out of hand.

Funny how quickly we forget...nobody thought that when he drilled that 57 yard game winner in Detroit in Orton's first start...
Carpenter made some big kicks for the Bills, but he was in steep decline. Remember when the Bills had to carry two kickers because he couldn’t kick off?

He's regressed and indecisive this year. This is winnable.
I see no regression whatsoever. Watson looks good.

What’s he mean, “at what cost?” Who got hurt?
Well, obviously the Titans’ loss hurts our strength of schedule.

If you look at kicking around the league, Hauschka is a VERY underrated part of our success. The Browns might be 5-0 and the Packers might be 4-1 with a kicker of his caliber.
If Carpenter is our kicker last year, the drought is still alive. Successful NFL teams have good kickers.

the Cowboys are a boring team to watch.
Yes, and unfortunately they are on national TV each and every week.
By the way, most sane people would probably say that the Bills aren’t a particularly exciting team to watch....?
Boy, Watson looks very accurate. I really like his delivery too.

I would keep Hughes next year...
He is not overly expensive for his abilities, and he will be motivated in a contract year to play well for one last payday.. ( maybe not with Buffalo for 2020 and beyond..)
I have feeling though that there will be another dozen or so "trade Hughes for a 6th" threads over the next 8 months......
Hell yes you keep Hughes. He is a borderline elite edge rusher, and those guys don’t grow on trees. He might be having his best year...

I don't recall many people hating the pickup. He's certainly not in his prime but he serves a very useful role of being in a tough inside runner tough situations. He's the type of rugged player you want on your roster because he is a no frills player who understands his role but more importantly fulfills his role.
Thank you. No one hated the pickup. Some said we overpaid, which is a fair comment.

Hau$ch has ice in his veins. How did Sea let him go? Was a beast there too during their sb years
Good example of why most playoff teams have + kickers. Most underrated position in football.

I think we are all going to enjoy the decline of Tom Brady. Looking at his interception count he’s starting to throw a lot more than his usual single digit mark per season. He’s at 6 in 5 games. Over a season that’d be 19. Still on pace for 38 TDs but the interception count is something to take note of.
Please...Neither “interception” tonight had anything to do with Brady.

Colts defender missed the tackle on Edelman because he was being TACKLED by one of the Pats receivers. Announcers review the replay and don’t even mention it—just dis the Colts player for missing the tackle.?

I don’t care what anyone says—I love Thursday Night Football.
Luck looks very good, by the way.

Oh glad i caught the Kraft Family. Heartwarming story.
Where would the league be without them??

Why is that not an illegal pick?

This makes no sense, why don't they promote a couple guys from the PS?
Wouldn’t that require them to release or IR someone?

And Amazon Prime Video, I think

Herbert looks nothing like a 1st overall pick to me at this stage.
Herbert's only played half a season each of the past two years. As of now, he looks like a solid top 12 pick to me. He's upped his game from last year and might very well look like a no. 1 overall by the end of the season. He certainly has the tools. Lots of football left.

Bills, 20-16. I can't defend this prediction logically, based on the matchups, the personnel or the coaching, but this is just the type of game the Bills have won in recent history. They somehow pull off a win when people start writing off the season and start looking forward to a top-five draft pick. I don't know how they do it, but they do. And the Titans are hardly unbeatable.

He freaked out because he wants to be on the field. How is that not the type of player that fits the culture.
Agreed. I can think of far worse attitude problems. If Dareus had shown the same “attitude,” he might still be here.

Anyone know how Malik Hooker is doing this year?

Mahomes would look no different than Allen on this team in this offense.
Stop. That is delusional nonsense. Mahomes is miles and miles ahead of Allen (and Darnold and Rosen) at this moment. There’s really no denying that. The question is, will Allen close the gap and how soon will he do it?
Deshaun Watson taking a lot of hits and a lot of chances
