BVBILLS Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Josh should be picking apart good defenses like that. A 40-year-old had no trouble and was sacked once. I wish Joe Cool was the back-up QB in Buffalo, he could teach Josh a lot. 4 1 1 Quote
Doc Brown Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago The franchise is a joke and I get the frustration. However, it's not because they got a 5th round pick from the Bengals for Flacco on an obvious rebuilding team so they could see if they had anything in these two young QB's. When you're not competing I don't think it matter where you trade a 40 year old QB. It's not like trading him in the division will come back to bite you. Help is on the way in Watson anyways. 2 1 1 Quote

Carolina: Hold my beer. They had the leading MVP candidate Baker Mayfield and Seattle's starting QB Sam Darnold on the same team & let both get away, just like Browns & Jets did with one of those guys. Those 3 teams are where QBs go to be comatose, leave & suddenly wake up & thrive. Even when the Bills were bad, they didn't have good QBs come in, dump them & then watch these guys thrive elsewhere. When we dumped a QB, he never came back to haunt us, he was bad wherever he went. These 3 teams get the right guys & stymie them until they leave. The Jets have a horrible history with both young guys & vets. It goes back to Favre who sucked as a Jet & went on to Minnesota where he was great again, Geno who was nothing until Seattle, Darnold who is finally the QB that was envisioned in the 2018 draft, and even this year, dumping Rodgers, who is playing good in Pittsburgh and signing the incredibly bad Justin Fields. 3 Quote

You draft Manzel, huh what... then you draft Mayfield and get rid of him as he is now leading the MVP conversation... then you completely shi#t the bed and mortgage your future for a serial predator, then you draft 2 qbs including the most polarizing pick I have seen since Todb marijuanavich or Ryan Leaf, sign a guy that is competent and then trade him to a division rival to put in Gabriel who looks like he needs to work really hard to acheive Nathan Peterman status... Like, what is who is how is how, I dont even have words... what the farce is going on... Edited 14 hours ago by JP51 1 Quote

The sad part is these talking heads act like it isn’t the key part of the equation here… Thank you - its amazing how little context is consider in discussions anymore. Whether its here, the media, whatever - everything is "apples to apples" when things are not remotely similar. There is a massive difference of throwing to Chase and Higgins compared to Jeudy and Bond. It's also one game. That being said - they are not actually wrong about the Browns, total joke of an organization. With Watson's contract stuck on the books and destroying the cap, all the Browns should care about right now is developing young players and getting higher draft picks. They should have let the rookies battle it out for 1 and 2, played the guy who won, and not be afraid to switch to the other in season if the first one wasn't showing promise. This season should have been entirely about discovering if they have a potential starter (or long term backup) in either of their 2 rookie QBs and being totally ok if they lose games while finding out given their cap is f-ed until they finally get rid of Watson anyway. So might as well get better draft picks along the way when there is no real way to contend for anything meaningful until then. Its also why they should have never paid Myles and traded him for a bounty and instead given the FO an armory of draft capital to rebuild around the young guys once the franchise killing sex predator Watson was finally off the books.

Big Turk Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) I mean honestly it was a brilliant move for the Bengals. Flacco is a competent ball distributor when he has star players surrounding him. It's when you ask him to start doing too much on his own that he struggles because he no longer has that in his bag anymore. Bengals have weapons on offense on par with anyone in the league. Also, what are the complaining about, DeShaun Watson is getting ready to return, I'm sure he will fix all their woes. Edited 13 hours ago by Big Turk 1 1 Quote
