I hear ya, but I didn't see that level of inconsistency from him for Georgia. If anything, for me the main concern was his conditioning and can he become a disciplined pro and correct that and get in better shape. He does play a bit upright and that would certainly have to improve but he did take on lots of double teams and he was a mammoth of a beast to move. Does he show lots of quickness and penetrating sort of DT play like Jordan Phillips? Yeah, he does but that isn't a knock if anything it's an added feature. You could end up being right that maybe he just becomes a decent player in the league and nothing more and I think you can always look at most players and find weaknesses to their game, but I think his floor is about as high as any DT in the draft and from my view at a very minimum he becomes a good run stuffing DT who can make some plays behind the line of scrimmage and at best become a dominant run stopper.

If you can sign him to a multi year deal for around $10M a year average - sign him up. If not, trade him - I think you could get a 2nd rounder for him, I believe that a few GM's value him higher than the board does.

I've said many times before that I never liked the idea of drafting a run plugging DT for your first round choice and that typically if you are going to draft a first round DT it should be someone who can penetrate and make lots of plays behind the line of scrimmage. The more I have seen video of Jordan Davis the more my view on him particularly is evolving. I can't think of anyone since Ndamukong Suh and Haloti Ngata a player dominate and stop the run as effectively as Jordan Davis. He's not just an effective run plugger, he very likely will become an elite run stuffer, top 3 kind of guy. He will always command a double team, he would most certainly free up Oliver to make even more plays behind the line of scrimmage. When you have someone who is that elite at stopping the run and who is that imposing of a figure, it alters the scheme. He changes the whole dynamic on how a team has to attempt to attack your defense, not to mention he would be a handful in the pass rush. Not so much that he himself would get lots of sacks or pressures, because most likely he wouldn't get all that many but what he would do is assist the team pass rush by helping close the pocket and freeing up other players, especially Linebackers. I'm definitely warming up to Jordan Davis if we don't go WR which is what I'd like for the team to draft in the first round.

Bill Maher is an old school Liberal, he was always against the pc culture, back when it wasn’t so identifiable with the left. Now that being pc or woke is so part of the modern day lefty, they hate him for it. Its not that Maher has shifted away from his roots, it’s the left who have shifted away from him.

Stafford will be fine, he won’t lose a single advertising dollar or anything over it. As it should be. The girl on the other hand….

So in the end what will happen is that this girl will lose her job because ultimately she accidentally fell and the intrawebs was big mad that Stafford was being criticized.

Apparently I have a few pals here who are walking parodies of people that use the same 5 words to avoid any critical thought. So I was told. I figured I’d drop on by and check out who they were.

What about @Doc Brown ? He seems to be pretty moderate, he gets PPP and everything that comes with it.

That’s not what you said, but ok.

Maybe, but I saw it more as a "Oh *****, I don't want to be involved and let me just look away".

I'm sorry, you felt the need to respond to my innocuous first post of this thread on the subject and for some reason it triggered you enough to project the criticisms that you have on the person who started the thread onto me. Nowhere did I say that Stafford should have jumped down to save the guy or call him a scumbag or anything of the sort. What I said was that he never exhibited not one iota of concern. Which is not a good look, no matter who you are or what socioeconomic class you come from. And yeah, sometimes when you are hammered it can cause you to not do things that good humans would do. Doesn't mean it's a reflection of who you are, it's just a bad personal moment. Lord knows that I have done plenty of things in my past when I have been inebriated that I've been embarrassed about. Personally, I'm just going to chalk this up to him being hammered and Stafford just having a bad moment.

Judging by Beane's comments, it looks like he wants to try to upgrade some components of the O line. I suppose I will never be opposed to that but I thought the offensive line in it's latest iteration of it was pretty good. I'd rather have them look to add more speed and dynamism with the skilled positions but if they decide to improve upon the O line, I'd be just fine with that.

Empathy and compassion are not the same as virtue signaling. Virtue signaling would be to post on social media how you were there to care for that person so that everyone knows. Empathy and compassion would be shown in the actual moment showing concern for the individual. However, you and Drdoogie have somehow twisted it that if someone points out that Stafford didn't appear to show empathy that it must be because they want to virtue signal their moral superiority and that they are coping with the failures of their life, or some sort of dime store psychology BS.

I don’t know man, it appears to me that you are trying to project that you are morally superior because you are saying that he should show some compassion. You should really try to find another coping mechanism for your mediocrity.

For you, he doesn’t have to do *****. That’s fine, that’s your view. I’m not going to overall judge him as a person because he had one moment where it appeared him not having any empathy or care for the woman. Maybe he was too hammered to care or to react like a good human, who knows. But whatever it was, it most certainly wasn’t a good look.

That’s rich coming from you.

Even if I'm tipsy, I would have at least reacted like "Oh crap! You ok?" As opposed to "I want no part of this, let me dip". Doesn't mean that he needed to hop down and medically assist her, just a simple reaction of concern while others were attending would have at least been human. In any case, it's certainly not a good look. But he did react, he chose to immediately turn his back without showing one iota of concern. That was his reaction.

I made this analogy with my brother and father @Deadstrokewell over a year ago. I told them that after the Broncos game and that how everything had slowed down and his processing skills while evading the rush reminded me of NEO in the Matrix. I do believe he is the one and I do believe that he will bring multiple Lombardi trophies to Buffalo.

If surrounded by a good football team, you can go deep in the playoffs with David Carr. He's easily worth $35 M - $40M a year based off of some of the recent contracts. With that said, Josh Allen's contract was an outright steal for the Bills organization.

That made no sense. The point being that Star didn't mess hardly any games, out of 80 possible regular season games, he started 77 of them for Carolina. When Beane signed him, he was a dependable player.

How many games did Star miss in his 5 years with Carolina?

As great as he talent as he is, Beane values availability and Hunter has only played in 7 games the past two years.

He will be gone by the time the Bills pick

Flores is coming off petty and bitter. His lawyers should have really talked him out of that statement.

I don’t see the Bills giving him a 5 year extension, unless they can get him for around $10m a year. I just don’t see it, and if they don’t give him the extension then I believe the Bills will try to trade him for a 2nd rounder. If they do trade him, I would expect that they ask Klein for a small pay cut, Klein would be the interim replacement until they draft the guy they are looking for. For around $12m, they could pick up a good pass rusher. I like Edmunds, he’s a better than average MLB, but resource allocation is getting tight and honestly I think they getting that pass rusher serves better value than the delta between Edmunds and his replacement.
