  1. Wrong Logan Thomas. The one being discussed here was a QB through college. He was QB at Virginia Tech after Tyrod left and was drafted as a QB by Cardinals.
  2. Don't want to lose Daboll, but it seems like Dorsey is his natural successor. He's been marinating and I'm sure contributing heavily to this offense for two years. Why would they look elsewhere? Every OC got his first OC job somewhere and this seems like an ideal situation to elevate a smart QB coach to maintain continuity
  3. Allen has become quite good at buying time in the pocket and beyond. There were lots of plays where he was adeptly moving around and especially escaping pressure rolling right. He becomes deadly. So I think Sherman is mostly right, they did get pressure on him, but Allen just handles it until he finds someone. I haven't seen any Next Gen Stats on average time to throw, but Allen has to be near the top of the league in longest time to throw.
  4. ...and the OL. Basically it speaks to everyone but Allen. He'd be a crappy QB without all of them
  5. Can we talk about Duke now?
  6. I think i had read a while back that they learned from the famous snow bowl where they happened to be wearing the red uni. They felt the unis made a difference in the bad weather. McD personally makes the call on when they wear them. I would assume they're saving them for games in Dec that may be in poor conditions
  7. I'll always give props to Kiper on this one. I don't know that anyone had Josh mocked #1 overall, other than Kiper. This one of my favorite clips that I bookmark and re-watch periodically from a year and a half ago. However, it now also occurs to me how difficult this all is as he's also quite positive on Darnold who the jury is still out on (being generous)
  8. Trade: Biscuit / Diggs / Hughes Waiver Claim: Tasker UDFA: Fred Jackson / Pat Williams FA: Spikes / Paup / Christie
  9. Now when I came into this topic, I was going to chastise the Mods that I already knew that this thread was going to be about a mullet.... but I'm apparently wrong. So you're right!
  10. And the answer appears to be that Kiko just tied for the all-time NFL lead for number of times traded...
  11. I wonder where Kiko ranks among the most traded players in NFL history. Isn't this the 4th one??
  12. Now you recognize that our first may be in the high 20s, while the Jets second will be in the low 30s. The typical price for that kind of move in the draft is about a 4th rounder. They may not trade him for that...
  13. The latest rankings from NFL.com for 2020 MVP https://www.nfl.com/news/top-10-nfl-mvp-candidates-russell-wilson-leads-field Josh Allen #3 on the list....<yawn> But #10 is.....wait for it.......... Wyatt Teller....WHAT?? The video montage they provide in the article is duly impressive. Its a good thing the trade capital for him got us to Diggs, otherwise we would be on the losing end of a Jerry Hughes-type trade
  14. I think its not uncommon when a team benches their starter to drop him to QB3 for the next few games. Especially a young player who may have his confidence shaken from the benching.
  15. I've been wondering if the best solution might be to lock the league down for Week 5 and look to restart Week 6 with TNF game. Then Week 5 could be rescheduled as Week 18 at the end of the season. The main issue would be that the Lions and Packers have a by scheduled, which they wouldn't really get an advantage from at the end of the season. Perhaps the Packers if they were playing on Wild Card week?
  16. Obviously he hadn't fully arrived yet, but the last game of his rookie year against that Dolphins. They were not a good team, but he was in complete control...
  17. I haven't live in Buffalo in 20 years and work for a large global company with everyone working virtually. I opened a meeting yesterday by showing a box of Josh's Jaqs and recommended that they are a nutritious part of a healthy breakfast! We do have a Wegman's here and my wife bought me a case. Will likely be used as Christmas presents....
  18. Hughes trade was clearly an epic success, but not in the same category as this or Bennett. This was a bold move for an impact player to bring an ascending team to the next level. That's what both the Diggs and Bennett trades were. Good topic by OP, Diggs trade has been huge. The whole team has a different feel to it now. Its elevated Diggs as well. He was probably a top 10-15 WR before, now maybe top 3?!?
  19. Question: Did we just have a game where the phrase "Josh Allen Experience" was not uttered, tweeted or written about??
  20. If you go back to the draft Embedded video they put out, its especially great hearing Beane talk about him at the scouting combine (4:10) and hoping that he doesn't run too fast of a time in the 40 making his draft stock go up. He knew he wanted to grab him even before the combine
  21. Maybe the OP lives in Europe?? If so, the answer would be you for being awake to read it....
  22. He's improved so you're clearly right, but its "conventional wisdom" that you can't. Its discussed endlessly about any "inaccurate" QBs. Its been constant on Allen up until this year. EJ Manuel had the same rap. Cam Newton, Geno Smith, Blake Bortles and many, many others. I have no idea what that QBs not named Josh Allen have done to try to improve their accuracy, but fans, announcers and commentators all have this pre-disposition on that topic
  23. This sums it up best. The only thing I can add is that many people don't think that a QB can improve his accuracy once they get past college and into the pros. It is what it is, in their minds. We've said it on this forum over and over again regarding EJ Manuel. He was an inaccurate passer and it will never improve. That's baked into how people think about the position in the same way that your 40 time affects WR/CBs. And there was plenty of video example to reenforce that point-of-view.
  24. They wouldn't be able to get him until after the season and playoffs. That seems like wild speculation this far in advance.
