And I think Josh is just fine with it all. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who will complain about making $40M when someone else is making $43M.

I was kind of hoping Carolina would sign him...

If we are talking overall quality of QB play over multiple seasons: Fitz - I think the best all-around QB the Bills had during the QB drought. Tyrod - yes, more successful than Fitz but just so frustratingly tentative with throwing the football that I could never give him the top spot. Bledsoe - Had the arm, but that's about it. Followed by NOBODY. For straight-up QB play, regardless of tenure: Flutie - Short time, but arguably the most exciting player of the QB drought. A winner, if nothing else. Fitz Orton

Allen is great at extending the play until the defensive backs can't maintain coverage, then hitting a guy 15 yards downfield. It gets the job done, but this style of throw is almost never a 'hit him in stride' kind of thing. Think of all the sideline throws just as Josh is about to step out of bounds, etc. It's kind of his bread and butter.

Despite dealing with serious mental health issues, he was the best guard the Bills have had since Ruben Brown. By a significant margin, I would say.

The only way he can win is if 1. (God forbid) the team is beset by major injuries and they still go deep or win it all. 2. It's total domination from wire to wire. 3. No other coach takes a team with low expectations to legit contender status. But as of now, the Bills are too loaded a team for their coach to even qualify for COY in most seasons.

The Bills were definitely a laughingstock through much of the '80s. Not just bad, but terrible. But I don't believe there was ever talk of moving the team out of Buffalo, at least not to my knowledge. But then again, I'm not much older than you. So, Smith and Kelly and company restored a lot of good will and excitement, but I don't think they actually saved the team.

Dang, I'm glad I'm not out there trying to scrape by with just 9 million bucks to my name.

Embarrassing, really. What's the point? You just created an eternal beef over a trivial situation that most people, myself included, are totally unaware of. Boselli's induction will always be questioned because of the duration of his career, but he was the dominant player at his position pretty much the entire time he played. Even if Bruce is 'right', there's no point in going this route.

A Bills Legend forever, but, respectfully, not qualified for the WOF.

I used to eat two dozen without much trouble, but these days I max out around 12 before I start to feel ill. Just can't stuff face like I did when I was young!

Any sort of repeat of the 13 seconds shenanigans would make it really hard to argue that McDermott is a guy who can win a title. But it would be very, very difficult to replace what he has brought to the organization. I think it might be more appropriate to give more play calling authority to the coordinators, or something along those lines, if in-game strategy continues to be an issue.

You have to tip your hat to the guy. I mean, he's probably made more money in his career than I ever will, he's not even 30, and he hasn't taken a real hit in years. He's still getting gigs despite whatever crap the social media dinks say about him. I love this guy! He's the Ryan Fitzpatrick of 3rd-stringers.

Based on who drafted them, I'm going with Elam and McDuffie. I think Sauce will be a bust - seems really focused on his image and bling, and he's going to a bad team in NYC. I could see things not going well.

Dang, I'm usually passed out by 7 on Turkey Day.

Touchback Jesus

Sleepers? Pretty sure I'll be sleeping by the time the Bills pick.

It's hard to argue with Josh Allen on offense. Maybe Jerome Bettis, but not sure how good his arm is. On defense, I'm going with Ray Lewis.

Williams was by far the biggest BUST, because he looked every bit like a no-brainer pick, and he tanked. Maybin was the worst PICK, because it looked bad on draft day, and stayed bad. I don't even consider Maybin a bust, because it was pretty obvious he was not an NFL lineman. Of the rest, Flowers was pretty busty, but the rest of those guys were just reaches that didn't pan out.

I'm a big proponent of taking the best player at their position in the whole draft , if available. I think it's the best value a team can get with a low 1st round pick. It's also why I loved the Tyler Bass pick! Breece Hall is the consensus #1 RB in the draft, so by all means draft the kid. Safety and TE are also positions where the top 1 or 2 should still be on the board when the Bills pick. By #25, the top 4-5 CB prospects will already be gone. Bills don't need a WR right now. Might as well get the most elite player you can get at a position Beane's Bills have not really hit on yet. Imagine this offense with a bona fide stud at RB. Josh has never had one, if we're being honest.

Ha, certainly not the greatest EVER, but one could say it's about as good as it gets. Sold the CB hook, line, and sinker on the quick out at the 1st down marker. Genius!

Glad he didn't pick the Browns.

I wonder what color his underpants will be if he ever has to cover Diggs 1-on-1.

Poyer will be 31 next year, and all those other guys are much younger. The most logical scenario has him moving on. I think Beane drafts a safety early this year so he can respectfully let Jordan hit the market and retire a very rich man. I believe his services on a two year deal would be very valuable out there, possibly more per year than the Bills would want to match. On the other hand, teams might balk a bit at an older player in a position where speed matters. Singletary would be the other candidate to go, based him being the most easily replaced of the lot. Oliver, Knox, and Edmunds are all young, home-grown, and integral to the team, so they will get deals unless the numbers just can't possibly work.

I have had ACL reconstruction on both knees. One is basically 100% performance-wise, and the other is about 90%. Two ACL surgeries did not stop me from skiing at the highest level of my life. It also did not stop Frank Gore from having an amazing 16-year career at RB. I would say it depends on three things: (a) whether or not there was additional damage at the time of the injury (meniscus, other ligaments, etc). (b) the surgical procedure chosen, and (c) the laxity of the new ligament post-op. For most of us, the primary surgery options are to harvest tissue from either your patellar tendon or hamstring to fashion a new ACL. This harvest is what causes lingering issues - patellar tendinitis, hamstring weakness. The deluxe option, which is what I figure the pros do, is to use tissue harvested from a cadaver. That way, there is no harvest site morbidity. There is an increased risk of a cadaver graft failing entirely, but if they don't fail they usually result in 100% recovery. A sloppy surgeon or over-aggressive rehab can result in the ACL graft becoming too slack, which allows the knee to bend too far the wrong way and maybe even slip out of joint laterally from time to time. Since pro athletes have the best surgeons and rehab coaching, its likely the only way Tre will have issues is if he did collateral damage to his cartilage at the time the ACL blew out. Being a non-contact injury, he probably didn't.
