  1. There is no blueprint. What worked for Allen and the Bills is "impossible" (sooo many variables) to reproduce and is not guaranteed to work for someone else. There's a reason there's so much voodoo around why one talented (and driven) player succeeds where another fails. His personal QB coach is Will Hewlett and he also contracted Denny Thompson to prepare for the draft.
  2. I don't see the advantage for the Bills. I actually think highly of him and thought last season was unfortunate. Davis is well aware he had a down year and so is his agent. He's not going to give a massive discount and is going to bank on having a year that convinces someone to pay him. So the Bills would end up giving him a 'market' contract with a ton of risk on their end. I'd rather let him play in a contract year and get the highest possible performance from him and let the chips fall where they may next offseason.
  3. There's also been reports that he's unpopular wherever he goes. Why bring that in here for a backup QB who isn't that much better?
  4. This is something they gloss over. RBs get paid less, but that money isn't going into the owner's pocket. It's going to other players. There's a negotiated salary cap so there's a limited amount of funds so it's always weird. ..and anyone who thinks they're doing this 'for other RBs'.. I have a bridge to sell you.
  5. Exactly. Given that members of the KC organization tend to drive drunk and injure little girls or kill themselves in the parking lot.. this doesn't even register anymore. Calm down, people.
  6. To be fair, you don't understand simple concepts like relative costs so stating the obvious like you would to an idiot toddler is understandable.
  7. More like everyone calling out a douchebag who doesn't like to be called out.
  8. You might consider your own advice instead of being a running joke to everyone on here.
  9. We should get someone to fix that and give you about -10,000 posts.
  10. You understand that your outrage is what keeps him employed. Seeking him out so you can be outraged is attention and that is his job.. to keep your attention and he does it very well. He knows this. You apparently don't.
  11. Never count out the Jets. They pulled it off last year.
  12. Have you tried using a dictionary before? They're neat.
  13. Would you say he dropped the ball?
  14. This a Bills forums. We don't like reason and facts here. Get out.
  15. Has it only been 90 years? Feels like longer.
  16. It's a shame "Like a Farmer" isn't a weird al song about Josh Allen based off Madonna's like a virgin
  17. yea, but which player wouldn't he want to date his sister?
  18. Yea, my comments have nothing to do with that. Kudos to you for doing what you can to maintain your integrity. It means if it's a 'coach' then you need to press the coach to get him to agree to the most specific identifying information you can get them to agree to.. and be willing to not publish the information if the attribution can't get to a level that you're comfortable with and think provides value to the readers. So if it's a Bills coach: 1. Name of coach 2. A coach with the team 3. A member of the football operations of the team 4. Bills staff 5. A member of an NFL coaching staff 6. ..and so on Also, you should tell your editor he needs to hire someone to advise him on SEO and the use of dofollow and nofollow.
  19. One of the biggest problems in journalism is the lack of attribution. There's very little effort made to do the right thing and identify the source as much as possible. I interned at a large regional newspaper in my college days where I cam across something I liked to call the reporter circle jerk. Step 1: Team reporter A calls Team Reporter B who covers a different team Step 2: They talk back and forth and like with most people some stuff is coming from a source and other stuff is more 'gossip' so say something like, "Yea, everybody hates training camp" and the reason for that is the heat Step 3: Team Reporter A now writes a source close to the team (Hey guess what! To him Team Reporter B *IS* close to the team) says "Everyone on the team hates training camp" without the context and then takes something like Player A who was cut and signed elsewhere saying "I felt like I didn't get enough reps in camp last year" (btw, this is not an interview reporter A even did.. it's in another publication). Step 4: ..and now: "A source close to the team says players hate Team A's training camp. Players say they don't get enough work in to prepare for the season. "
  20. That wouldn't fit the narrative so please refrain from mentioning it.
