  1. IMO, reading the tea leaves, the six teams mentioned are those that submitted bonafide contract offers. Absent the cash, I think the strongest suitor of the six is Green Bay. Play on grass , with a non running QB, with no "name" running back to supplant or beat out in camp. Bell is not an easy player to evaluate. I'm very concerned about the reports he's significantly heavier now than he's suppossed to be. (260lbs versus playing weight of 225)
  2. This doesn't make a lot of sense unless Roseman is legitimately getting the band back together in Philadelphia. I can't see McCoy being shipped anywhere but back to Philly and that's only happening if Philly and McCoy want that to happen.
  3. He's a great athlete who has difficulty in reading a football playbook and implementing the play on the field. In college, he pretty much just tackled whoever had the ball and let his athleticism do the work. In the NFL, he had to learn "assignments" and "zones" and IMO, that's why he's disappointed. That's why sometimes you take the better football player over the better athlete. It's easier to make a professional football player more athletic in the NFL than it is to make the athlete a professional football player.
  4. I gave up cable news after the 2016 election. Wikipedia has saved me hundreds of dollars and plenty of time in regards to movies. I can just read the story under "plot." 9 out of 10 times it's a movie filled with plot devices I've seen many times before.
  5. 1. He's not *that* good. 2. Raiders are booking their rooms in cap purgatory in Las Vegas Year #2. I foresee them hoodwinking all their new fans into season tickets and PSLs with a dazzling year one in the new stadium and then having to tear it all down shortly thereafter.
  6. Vince Young is an example of where coasting on talent and never learning the lessons of failure as a child, teen and young adult can absolutely murder you in your adult life.
  7. IMO, I'd be surprised if he passed a physical. His neck injury was pretty signficant.
  8. I'm sure somebody will... to get a leg up on the 2024 race and establish themselves as the alpha candidate of the DNC going forward. It just won't be senior citizens Joe Biden or Hilary Clinton. (I have no idea why Bernie bothers.) Really when you think about it, guys like Biden and Sanders are one term Presidents even if elected. Biden would be 82 and Sanders would be 83 in 2024 at the end of their terms.
  9. I'd be surprised as well. 2020 is looking a lot like 1996 and neither Clinton or Biden want to play the sacrificial Bob Dole role. I think both camps also see the DNC as being a complete mess at the moment. Perez has no gravitas or authority to control the Democrat message or the number of candidates out there saying stuff just to get attention. It's a complete shitshow. FWIW, I think the Democrats (and Washington generally) have been tipped off that the Mueller report isn't going to say what they wanted it to say.
  10. If you liked what Vontae Davis did, sure.
  11. TJ Hockenson IMO he's the Zach Ertz for Josh Allen and it's very hard to screw up TE from Iowa. Fant is likely the better athlete but Hockenson is the better football player. (Assumes we hit on some OL in free agency)
  12. Williams looks like Travis Kelce to me - a C that'll anchor a line for a decade plus. Taylor to me looks like a good, possibly great tackle but an elite guard.
  13. I really like that the front office looks for players from trades, different leagues, etc. Hats off to Brandon Beane for taking a looksee. I don't think Brown's reluctance to play in Buffalo reflects poorly on the Bills at all. I think he has a "unique" perception on reality. Not many WRs force a trade from a team with a HOF QB that'd likely assist in giving him the stats to rival or best Jerry Rice and a likely HOF nod himself.
  14. I wouldn't spend money on a position that's stable in terms of personnel. Keep in mind that the safety position requires an above-average level of corporate knowledge of how the defense works and how it's suppossed to work. If you've got good safties with a couple seasons in a system, that's quite the asset.
  15. I don't understand why he didn't try to get in the AAF to showcase what he can do.
  16. I like T.O. and enjoyed watching him play as a Bill.
  17. He'd be my #1 free agency target without a doubt. I like him better than Morse by a little because I think Paradis is an elite zone blocking OL whereas Morse is a very good one and if you're going to pay great money, go get the great. That being said, I'd also draft a "real" center (no swing OL or a guard who "can" play center) to apprentice with him so you're building redundancy in your OL.
  18. I'd pass. Even in a very best case scenario, he'll give you a good September, maybe an October. With those concussions, it'll take just one to put him on IR for the year. Concussions are like bending a frame on a car. Each and everytime you do it, you're making the structure a little more weaker and less able to withstand an impact.
  19. Aliens remains a supremely watchable movie despite debuting over 30 years ago and is one of the few movies you could practically say bested its predecessor. What Heat is to Michael Mann, Aliens is to James Cameron.
  20. Would you pay great money for a good LB? That's really what you're thinking about with Mosley. He's a great run stopping LB and decent in coverage, but as the league evolves towards those quick, precise passes, FOs will probably put more emphasis on great coverage LBs and decent run stoppers.
  21. It's very sad. He didn't *look* unhealthy. Wasn't obese and there were no published reports of him being a smoker, having substance abuse problems or a serious health condition. IMO, the 50s are a no-joke serious decade for male health, both physically and mentally. It seems like for alot of men, the wheels fall off health wise during this time and the strokes, heart attacks, cancers and depression all seem to come looking for you.
  22. I'm torn. I firmly believe that great WRs are expert route runners and he'd have to prove he could be one to draft him at #9.
  23. Out of the choices, I picked Chan Gailey. I think he was a solid offense tactician and the team played hard for him. If he had a DC of the Jim Schwartz caliber, the Bills were playoff "caliber." I don't think there is any scenario where I'd pick Rex Ryan. IMO, he committed professional malpractice taking the Bills job and stole the Pegulas money. He was burnt out from his time with the Jets, obscenly nepotistic and lazy. Dick Jauron would have been a good to great coach in the NFL of the 80s.
  24. I don't think Steve Keim is stupid enough to draft a 5'10" quarterback first overall.
