Now this is depressing

Recommended Posts

The nfl.com website has a "players" tab with a list of popular active players for fans to read about.  Here it is:

 

Patrick Mahomes

Tom Brady

Ezekiel Elliott

Saquon Barkley

Aaron Rodgers

Drew Brees

Todd Gurley

Khalil Mack

Ben Roethlisberger

Aaron Donald

Kyler Murray

 

Not only is Josh Allen not on the list, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger are!

Yeah, Josh will bounce back.  This ridiculous "Josh has regressed" narrative is the flavor of the month. No team in the history of the NFL is ever likely to experience what the Bills had to deal with last season.  He'll be trending again very soon.

Just as ridiculous as ‘he’s the best in the NFL’ narrative early last year when there were two guys that accomplished more in his own conference. Lesson here is who cares about media narratives. Go out and win.

Todd Gurley? That POS was my first overall pick in Fantasy Football about 20 years ago. I still have flashbacks. 


Hey! That woulda been a good pick in his rookie year don’t beat yourself up

Exactly. As I recall he was a beast his rookie year. Maybe even year two. All the “experts” had him as consensus #1 the year I picked him. He fell off a cliff. 😆

it’s not that serious homie. This is a BS thread. Somebody looked through search trends on nfl.com in April? And the Bills weren’t on it? And then they posted it here!?

Well I’m convinced: we’re irrelevant again.

It seems many new threads and posts reflect that there is too much time between the end of the season and the draft.

 

The NBA and NHL have their drafts about a week after their playoffs end.  The NFL Combine was like in late February/early March.  Do teams really need almost 2 months to figure it out?

 

Of course, we also have the daffy MLB, who conducts their draft in the middle of their season..

Someone at nfl.com must've gotten stoned or something and done this.

 

Roethlisburger's not even active anymore, ... other than perhaps sexually in hotels.  

 

Neither is Gurley, or Brady for that matter.  

 

I mean honestly, how many people are looking up Gurley or Roethlisburger now.

I agree it was a rough year, but if we continue to blame that, and not look at the regression in the team, the clear weaknesses throughout the year, I think the Bills take another step back this coming year.

 

The Bills must improve their offensive line, must establish a running game that becomes an integral part of the offense, create a dramatically better short passing game, and now, replace an integral part of their defense and find a good linebacker.

 

If not, then it will soon be clear to those paying attention last year that the real problems were not the rough year, but the way they played.

This is the Buffalo Bills and this is disturbing because ? I would rather have no one paying attention to the Bills or Josh getting caught up in all the Social Media stuff he needs to be focused on the job at hand .

Well this proves it. Allen and Burrow are only liked by their respective fanbases. 

And J'amar Chase and Derrick Henry and Justin Herbert and Justin Jefferson and Devonte Adams and ....

 

That list was last updated sometime during the 2019-2020 season.

“Someone”  has fallen prey to yet another worthless list of what NFL thinks we should be concerned with…, that  “someone” needs to step away from the internet more often,

Looks like an old list.  It's understandable why each of these guys are on the list, looks like it was created in 2018-19 and likes big-market guys:

 

Patrick Mahomes - Consistent since 2018

Tom Brady - Consistent for 20 YEARS

Ezekiel Elliott - WAS a big shot in a big market, decreasing returns since 2018

Saquon Barkley - huge hit as a rookie in 2018 in NFL's largest market, injury and down year in years 3-4, rebounded in year 5

Aaron Rodgers - the ONLY story in NFL boutique market since '08, MVP in '20 & '21, NOW in NFL's largest market - we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the media

Drew Brees - Retired after '21.  Class act and a pro's pro

Todd Gurley - hasn't played since 2020, OROY in '15, MVP &/or OPoY in '17 & '18

Khalil Mack - played 9 years, traded to Bears for '18 season - good player, big market

Ben Roethlisberger - Pittsburgh's winning ways since Noll/Bradshaw thru Cowher and Tomlin/Ben have been media darlings. Retired after '21

Aaron Donald - A beast in big LA market, won SB, peaked in '18, flashed in '21, only played 11 games last year

Kyler Murray - head scratcher, ORoY in '19, huge upside, doesn't take FB seriously
