Mr. WEO

there’s 6 other days they are open. ATL stadium is only sundays (essentially) when chick fil A is closed…..

wow where to start with this take?! first, yes..Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders ever. That’s cool. But nowhere and in no universe would be considered NBA MVP for that. That’s nuts. Bulls win 3 in a row before The Worm joined. Pippen was a great Robin to Batman. But there was no team where he could be Batman. He was a creation of Jordan. Plus he was soft. What else you got? Paxton? BJ Armstrong? Bill Cartright? Kerr? Kukoc? lol come on. This take is wild

rest stops are open 7 days a week... anyway, this would save $42 for family of 4 assuming 4 dogs, 2 sodas (2 beers aren't affected). still about 300 bucks, so I don't think the owner is really thinking about fans "who don't want to spend a lot of money".

he was in 2023. he isn't any more. he's not even top WR on his team. How much game planning will a Defense do when they see he's not being targeted? "top WRs" aren't put out there simply as decoys. They get targeted often--this really should be intuitively true for you.

yes, great scrambler. Josh is a great runner. Chuck Norris

Watson is awful, true. But so is Winston. What is "completely wrong"? That Cooper isn't a WR1? That he isn't being doubled much? That they are 7-2 without him? That teams aren't gameplanning around an aging seldom used WR3/4?

Elway only won SBs playing within a very tight structure (and a new HC). Elway rushed for -279 yards in college. Josh ran for 767 in only 27 games. Again, the myth of the prolific running QB as Elway is just that. he averaged under 15 ypg and had 33 career rushing TDs. Josh averages 39 and already has 45 rushing TDs. Elway was a great passer--threw a bunch of TDs (and a TON of INTS). As a runner-he was tough, sure. But his team rarely called run plays for him. His legend as a running QB basically is kept alive with an iconic clip of him helicoptering into the end zone. He's absolutely nothing like Allen as a runner. Big arm for sure ("Elway cross").

Unfortunately they are among the HOF voters. Maybe if he plays another 8-10 years and he racks up more accolades (he has only 3 Pro Bowls, a single "All Conference" All Pro (PFW only) he has a chance to enter at least a discussion about it.

would need long snapper...who would then get steamrolled

In the city now--out the window of the living room, sun is shining, snow falling off the tree branches. It will be a slushy walk to the gym!

I'd say Newton--I've said Cunningham in the past and I can live with that. Different size, but for pure arm strength and running skill---Vick is a solid comp. The Elway as a runner is an absolute myth. He rarely had called runs--he was a good scrambler. But he wasn't a runner of any kind. He had 3400 yards....in 16 seasons. Cunningham came up in a time where people (usually not out loud) talked about "black QBs" as a certain code. So Cunningham, an actual great runner, gets kind of pegged as such while his passing power doesn't always get it's due.

"true WR1"? who is that? He wasn't making that difference in Cleveland--their passing game got better after he was gone. You make it sound as if he is doubled on every play he's on the field for. That's clearly not the case. They are 7-2 without him. I think he was a good pickup as a WR3/4. He's made a few great catches. But the days of Defenses planning around Cooper are long over.

at the time of the draft, people saying Allen was a big unknown and a raw pure talent with some bust potential---obviously the were telling the truth. I don't see how the edit of the title changes the truth of the article/opinion at the time. It's just an extremely bizarre receipt for a fan to keep. It's been 7 years. It's not like the guy rewrote the article to hedge his take.

Well obviously playing for over 20 years and being one of the best players ever....you're going to break the usual longevity records (scoring, minutes played, etc.). But LeBron is certainly NOT a guy who showed up every day---you're joking now right? Had Jordan dogged as many games as James, he could have played 20 years and own every record. Bulls were "stacked with talent?? Those were roll players that he made into champions. HE didn't demand to be traded to all star teams. Nobody can claim James is the killer that Jordan was. I'd rather have a QB (Allen) who is like that....not a guy looking to pad his trophy case, mess with coaches, owners and rosters to please him while he takes off late winter. He is a perfect example of how the NBA has changed to the point that viewers are tuning out in droves. He has taken over the league and it's popularity has suffered. Had James stayed in CLeveland (1.0) and elevated those roll players to AllStar status and won 6 rings, then we could have a meaningful discussion of who was the greatest. But that couldn't happen with James. He's a legendary whiner, by the way. If you followed the league at all the past 20 years you would already know this.

you can forward those all those videos...

I can't imagine anyone else will remember this article, if they knew about it at all---least of all Josh Allen. There were many such articles about how he would be a stretch at 7. Are they going to plaster a new title that says he will go in the 1st round anyway? Or the one where if he succeeds the Bills are geniuses. Wow---zing.

what was the real reason

you dug this up, for some reason. I really don't know why a guy would go back and change a headline on an article hardly anyone read initially, I bet.

who knows. It's not something I would have noticed.

It says "updated" on the evening of day 1 of the draft. When did it originally post? what time on draft day? Either way, what's the real issue here? Guy said Allen was a reach, given his college output, yet everyone knew he would go in the 1st. The Bills have indeed outsmarted a lot of people. Looks all good to me.

You want Josh to bounce around the league hunting titles with other teams while he takes 1/4 of the games off and messes with the FO like Rodgers? No thanks. Give me the insanely focused competitor who trash talks all game as he dominates the NFL. You can keep the guy who whines for a call every trip down the floor.

Jordan won 6 rings in 6 consecutive seasons that he played. He played baseball for a year and just came back and tore up the league again. He elevated the teammates he was given (Pippen would be the only "superstar" he played with --and created). Lebron had a decent run in Cleveland 1.0, elevating a mediocre roster to the Finals once. After that he was a mercenary who hijacked front offices and demanded to be surrounded by All Stars brought in to help him win more rings. See Cleveland 2.0, Miami, LA..... Jordan played 80+ games 11 times in his career (8 of them full 82, plus playoffs). Lebron has 3 80+ seasons and 1 82 game...in 22 years. Jordam's prime was played when the game was far more physical than it is now--teams played defense. Playing in conference vs Detroit, Indy, NY and Boston guaranteed you were going to hurting the next day. Now guys take so much time off that the league had to institute rules for sitting stars. So I would rather have the who shoed up every day, played better than everyone else in the league, made everyone around him a champion and won 6 titles for the same team without screwing up the front office. Someone with a killer instinct, not a whiner, who pushes his teammates hard enough to win it all. That was easy.

I don't see how they are vastly different. Most knew he would go in the first round (needed no post draft editing for that) and the crux of the article is that he didn't have a great college career (not really an argument against that)....and therefore, it was widely felt (here as well) that he was very raw and there was not a small risk in taking him high in the first. The original title obviously implies the Bills were taking him in the 1st--or there would be no article to write. No take. "Because his college career wasn't great, so when the Bills take him in the top 10, and he succeeds, they will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself" Maybe that would be a better headline? It captures the opinion of the guy well.

It's not significantly different.

only if it's hosted by Shaq lol. Why not refer to Josh as the GOAT, like Jordan? I mean....
