  1. Flutie had good games with the Bills but then opponents started to game plan to keep him contained in the pocket and he wasn't as effective.
  2. Yep, by then Bucky Brooks should have his Mock Draft 7.0
  3. I attended a few of Stanford ‘s games in Elway’s senior year. I’ll never forget one play against Washington. The pass rush forced Elway to roll out to the right just inside his 40 yard line. He threw a pass on a line to WR Ken Margerum, who was standing in the left half of the end zone and didn’t have to move. It was like playing catch with a friend a few yards away. I also worked with a guy who also was a WR for Stanford and he said by the end of the season his fingers were so messed up, he had to catch the ball with his palms.
  4. During the off-season he was a gym teacher at Kensington High. My sister was going there then.
  5. Happy birthday Terry!
  6. Yep, he's the cousin of an ex co-worker who grew up in the farming community of Firebaugh, California.
  7. I would be disappointed if a CB was taken at 22 with Evans still available. They should be able to get their QB for the offense and for the defense in a MLB.
  8. Yes, and they had to overemphasize Mayfield's lack of height by giving him a comparison of Flutie.
  9. Right, that's why they have their combine results displayed.
  10. NFL.com does a great job of providing rating grades and analysis of all of the draft prospects. The grades are on a scale of 10 and Darnold was given a grade of 7.0. To put that in perspective, their legend shows that a grade between 7.00 and 7.49 classifies a player as "Pro Bowl to All-Pro Ability". His NFL comparison is Andrew Luck. The grades for the other top QBs and their comparisons are as follows: Rosen- 6.1, comp- Trent Green Mayfield- 6.0, Doug Flutie J.Allen- 6.0, Locker L.Jackson- 5.9, M.Vick Grades between 6.0 and 6.49 are noted as "Chance to become good NFL starter". Comparing Darnold's grade of 7.0 to other position players, only 4 players (Barkley, Nelson, Chubb and Edmunds) were given a higher grade with Barkley the highest at 7.4 So, the NFL.com analysis supports the position that Darnold is probably the only QB that should be taken in the first few picks, and to me, the only one worth the Bills trading a king's ransom to move up for.
  11. I thought about it but could already hear members mumbling about more threads. Then I see these dumb threads being started like "Was signing Billy Joe Hobert a mistake?".

  13. But I just read the OJ interview and he said Ralph didn’t want the Bills to win because then he’d have to give everybody raises.
  14. Brett Favre. His stats at Southern Mississippi weren’t that impressive, yet he was drafted in the 2nd round.
  15. As Yogi said: "It's deja vu all over again."
  16. With this new contract, he can buy himself a nice new house with a 'see-ment' pond! ?
  17. Watch Hue Jackson use him the right way, Tyrod has a near MVP type season throwing to Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry, their TEs and Duke Johnson. The Browns rebound from a winless season to go 8-8. Then Darnold starts the next season.
  18. I think you guys are overrating Hurns. Sure, in 2015 when Bortles was great, he had a good season with 60 recs, 1000+ yards and 10 TDs. Then in 2016, Bortles was horrible and it affected everybody. In 2017, Bortles rebounded some and with Allen Robinson injured for the year in the opener, Hurns had a great opportunity but he didn't come thru. He ended up not even starting as Marqise Lee and Dede Westbrook became the starters. Hurns finished with 39 receptions, 484 yards and 2 TDs. I would not offer big money for Hurns. If he gets it elsewhere, good for him.
  19. It's apparently been deleted. What did he say?
  20. Yes, let us not forget one of the saddest events in sports when Len Bias, who supposedly didn't use drugs, died of an overdose after celebrating being the 3rd pick of the NBA Draft.
  21. And then the Jets can make Cleveland a big offer to move to #1
  22. You guys had me crying from laughing so hard. ?
