25 years is a long time between elite QB....but man it's worth to be living in the era of Josh Allen and the Bills.

He also threw 5100 yards and 33 TDs. Josh Allen threw for 4700 and 37. What that tells me is that Winston can diagnose a defense perfectly well and slice up a defense with the best of them. You don't throw 5100 yards and 33 TDs without being able to do that. The INTs tells me that he also trusted his arm far too much and took risks that he didn't need to. Hence, my thought that he needed a kick in the arse, to accept that he doesn't have to make a big play every time he drops back, and that check downs are fine. Dude is talented. Absolutely no question there. It's always been about him having the discipline to not risks.

Hilarity aside, Jameis has lost a lot of weight and actually looks pretty good, football body wise. Always thought he was one of the 3 or 4 more gifted QBs in the NFL (mental + arm), and just needed a kick in the arse to take the leap to elite. Think he's going to have a pro-bowl/borderline MVP season

Since when the hell are drill sargent/psychopath coaches making a comeback? Did none of these dudes watch Junction Boys. And yes I'm talking to you, Joe Judge & Dam Campbell. Would never want my future kids playing for that kind of coach.

You'll probably be fairly happy around the trade deadline.

listening to Mario above, he was pretty awesome in explaining football specifics about DE technique in an easy to understand, entertaining manner. He's got legit potential in the booth as a color guy. That was legit charisma. I am excited for a 10 package where both McKenzie and Beasley are in the slot. I'd love for that to be a 1st down and short yardage package as well.

Star will hugely help on run downs, in terms of stopping the run. Not sure you can over emphasize this, but him coming back was the biggest Bills acquisition of the off-season

I didn't realize he was still in the league

I would rather have him have that injury now rather than later, he doesn't really need a real training camp anyways

Definitely a fun football debate to be had on this. On the one hand - are you really going to have 3 WRs on the All-Pro team, and have Cole Beasley on one of them instead of Tyreke Hill? The other argument is that there's no one better than Cole at slicing open defenses from the slot, and it's a unique skillset quite different from the Z or X WRs.

The base personnel look for the All Pro team should be a legit 11. They have 2 Zs and an X in 2020.

They;re adults. They can handle this

You also have to consider that Beane knew that cap would expand next few years, and that while running it back isn't optimal, may have been better than reaching for bad contracts under tight circumstances. Running it back means you have a lot more flexibility going forwasrd. The Bills' window is more like 5 years, rather than 2 years, and I'm guessing that's what Beane is planning for.

I think my primary point on this is how much McDermott values that position in his defense. His entire system on having a backer with Endmunds athletic ability, mental ability and skill set. then take that and look at the cost of finding a replacement. That only guy in this past draft that could be a an athletic replacement would have been Micah Parsons. not at all dismissing folks who are critical of Tremaine’s play, but you need to understand how much value McDermott has in him. he’s gonna get paid by the bills because of that

Think Devin White was essential to the Bucs beating the Chief. The pass rush was tremendous, but White was ridiculously good that game

And this is what I mean about my 2nd paragraph. He's been a pro-bowler, he's pretty highly rated by NFL evaluators, his peers seem to respect him, but Bills fans largely seem to think he's not very good.

DEs got swamped in that game as well, which was not helpful.

One thing to consider is that the Mike is the most important position in McDermott's 4-2-5 system. You need a real athlete that covers a huge amount ground, plays the run really well, while requiring a lot of mental ability and memory. The other thing here is we have the odd case of a movie being a lot more liked by the Actors, directors and professional critics than the movie goers. Have a feeling that the coach and front office rate Edmunds as highly, if not more, than Werner. Basically, I'm saying he's gonne get paid, and he's gonna get paid by the Bills.

That's what your family and friends and teammates are for. If you do it in public, being heard, means being debated

I get what you're saying, but a lot of people view Beasley's rhetoric as dangerous. I think it's irritating, and especially irritating when he firmly stand behind blatantly incorrect concepts - such what he thinks is more or less statistically likely. I think you're suggesting to just ignore him, but that's not really how a free society works. You debate.

Agree with the spirit of your post. (though parents with children U12 will have a different take on this) Again I go back to Josh Allen, who came out publicly as vaccine hesitant and still the only public info we have on him, and yet there's no controvery over him currently, and he's still a media darling. Basically my message to Beasley is - be like Josh Allen.

By criticizing him I'm victimizing him? I think i'd like to ask how you're defining victimizing? I'm definitely open to feedback on my own part, and it's not my intention to victimize anyone. But I'm obviously giving you the impression that I am, so I'd like to understand this.

And if you don't the trust the vaccine, then don't get the vaccine. There's protocols setup for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated in the NFL. This is the equivalent to people who loudly complain about not being able to donate blood, after constantly engaging in unsafe sex with multiple partners. (The vaccines available do not make use of the COVID virus FYI, so you're example would be impossible here, though I assume you're using this as an example of why people are hesitant)

How am I doing that? I have no idea what Josh Allen's vaccination status is, and I really don't care. I'm not attacking anyone over their vaccination stance here. I'm being critical of BEasley because he's making himself available to be criticized by being loudly against the NFL's vaccination protocols, railing against COVID vaccinations, and making himself the story in this - often with (at best) questionable points. I didn't ask him to do that. But once you make yourself a public object, and ask the debate to be around your own terms - you invite critical thought

Beyond saying "The Bills are going to fine him" because he evidently leaked internal info, not sure there's much of a tangible discussion. If you want to talk about how he's being a distraction, that's not a discussion you'll be able to have then
