The real question is how many games will they win if the planet is destroyed tomorrow by resurrected dinosaurs wielding magic lasers?

Is Duke still alive?

yea, the decision for traffic over quality was a regrettable one for many

I disagree. I think he threw a dart at a dartboard.

I've said this before...Sanders wasn't brought in to replace Brown.. Davis is Brown's "replacement". Sanders would be a better replacement for... Cole Beasely..

I agree with you. You could tell Darnold he'd fail and it wouldn't matter to him. There's deep underlying differences between them, but the post was about taking a comment from Palmer and inserting Darnold's name into it is not accurate. Palmer never said that.

Do you have a link to this quote because while you're close to accurate with the words, Palmer has never said it was Darnold who do it once and call it good. That was an assumption by people who read it.

I said way back I was worried that Beasely's need to disseminate his thoughts was going to tank this season.

my "hot take" has been Gabe Davis is John Brown's "replacement", not Sanders

Well, they yelled at him BECAUSE they knew they were going to have to go in this direction and what he said was true.

I'm willing to sacrifice a lot. I'd drink beer and eat BBQ while watching them play.

You don't understand how this game is played. It would be worth a giving another team a 1st round pick and Josh Allen to take Singletary because addition by subtraction!

That's only because it's a secret Ertz thread though

I'll catch you up. The debate has been that Cole does not want to deal with the consequences (literally saying he won't comply with the rules opening him and team up to discipline from the league) and has increasingly escalated his twitter war so much that he has now broken a specific agreement the players made amongst themselves to not talk about covid specifics on the team.

There was already a thread that was closed on this...

but dude, I heard 1-tech for the first time last season and now I'm super concerned about it!!

According to McDermott, he had that conversation with Cole already. It hasn't stopped Cole. I'm likely one of Cole's harshest critics on how he handles himself off the field, but I don't think he's at a cut level unless this is causing a problem within the locker room (or starting rumblings). I do think they need to have another sit down with him and explain they support him expressing himself, but that it does cause a distraction for the team and just how much this means to him compared to what they're trying to accomplish as a football team.

Regardless of everything else, Beasely made a deal with his coaches and teammates waaaay back to not talk about this. He's now violating an agreement he made with his 'brothers'. Remember when everybody was all over the media for asking about covid and the Bills staff / players hid behind "We're not talking about this." So why is it ok for Cole to break that agreement he made with his teammates? What do they say when they try to use the "We all agreed to not talk about it." line now?

I've always enjoyed his writing over the years. I thought he took on the herculean task of reporting fairly on the team during the drought which was not an easy thing to do.

He may be able to do that too now.

Bell won't look ok in any offense. He was done before he signed with the Jets.

If there's all these 'secret' players who are upset about it.. they could have secretly gone to their NFLPA reps and had them fight the fight for them. As I'm sure you already know, people don't have a problem with him not getting the vax as a personal choice. The problem is that he agreed to be part of the NFLPA who negotiated with the NFL to come up with rules and doesn't want to follow the rules that his fellow players agreed to..

Ben's body is done. He'd be doomed behind a good line.

Is he going to be able to play QB now?

Your kind probably also think Aaron Hernandez was an unfortunate victim having his bullet stolen by that guy who hid it in his body.
