Unsure if you’re trying to prove a point here or just citing another good landlord. If you’re just citing another good landlord, good for him! If you’re trying to make a point. You didn’t. In your situation the other landlord gave no pass on rent to his tenants and told them they might have a place to live when this passes. Then gave a ton of money to the guys across the street for relief. But it’s a donation so he’ll get some of that back.

Maybe. Until we can stretch field efficiently and consistently, I am guessing you might see some safety help overtop with Diggs, but people won’t be afraid to leave Brown or Beasley 1 on 1.

Disagree. Nsekhe is a decent starter but can’t stay healthy. Ford is a liability. Not bringing in somebody who can start would be an absolute gamble on either Ford taking a giant leap or Nsekhe staying healthy for 16 weeks without having to regularly be rotated in and out.

It’s not common in the NFL because the sport is so American driven at a young age. But it makes a bunch of sense. Take a guy who measures off the charts physiologically and teach him the game. There aren’t a ton of examples of guys who have NEVER played the game, so athletes are sort of siloed. It’s a relatively small investment that could have a good payoff if you give him 2 years. I doubt it hurts weekly prep even the slightest. I would rather spend 140k per year on a guy with crazy high measurable (even by NFL standards) who has never played the game, then a guy who is meh physiologically (NFL standard) and hasn’t been able to sniff elite in his 15 years dedicated to the sport. Other countries do this all the time for Olympic athletes. They’ll test men/women, see if there is a sport that suits their physiology best. Some can win an Olympic medal in a single quadrennial. https://www.uksport.gov.uk/our-work/talent-id/athlete-success-stories

Where do I sign?

You are welcome to halve it. $25M is still generational wealth gained in interest yearly. Josh Allen and Mitch Morris have donated higher percentages of their net worth than TP to help his own employees. Mark Cuban is paying his employees. Drew Brees is donating $5M. Every other NHL owner is paying their employees. Richard Bronson has announced a 15% executive pay cut and a hold on all executive bonuses.That is the standard. Pegula is not some worldly businessman in the hospitality industry. He owns a restaurant and staffs a hockey arena. He may have financial interests globally, but none of them in hospitality. It is not apples to apples, and the Hilton and Marriott are coming under fire. TP has a restaurant and an NHL arena where he employs maybe a couple hundred people. Hilton employs 170,000 people alone. As much as you want to reserve judgement for saying TP is treating his staff like popo, please refrain from saying he has done anything good other than a $1.2M tax right off rather than pay his staff because you can't prove that either.

This is actually mildly concerning to me. In this day and age and the mentality of the WR position in the NFL, I am actually surprised he hasn’t mentioned his new home directly on social media. Still posts almost daily, but nothing really about being pumped to be a Bill. Maybe I am just anxious from the quarantine.

Sorry, normally I quote, but I was on my mobile and already started to reply and got lazy. Ha. Nobody expects Bob of Bobs deli to sell his house for his cashier. And nobody is asking Pegula to do that either. If he has a Billion dollars, which he has more, interest is 50M per year at 5%. So if he has 300 employees at the arena, and 100 at 716. Say they’re all making an average of $15 per hour (they don’t) and all work 40 hours per week (they don’t) It would cost him 960k to shut down for a month. Less than 2% of his interest collected. Instead he gave 1.2M for additional tax deductions on top of the deductions he’ll take for declining business and declining property value (almost every major corporation does this). Plus the tax 57M tax break he gets on the harbor center itself. The point is, big boys like Mark Cuban in these moments shouldn’t be the exception, they should be the standard. And we should stop pretending like Billionaires are dealing in comprehensible money that any of us can wrap our heads around. On a yearly basis he receives generational wealth in interest. At the very least he could pay out earned PTO with the change he finds in his couch cushion.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Somebody referred to holding the Pegula’s to a different standard than the rest of the “industry”. Does this mean hospitality? How many restaurant owners would love to pay their staff but can’t? Or are you referring to the NHL where the owners are paying the staff for games missed?

Situation 1. Not in a million years did this happen. National rumors of trading your franchise QB without so much as a text message to check in on that, positive or negative. There is no owner, CEO, President, etc. who are not following up on this without some communication, with a follow up summarizing what was said if it was not already via email Situation 2. Also never going to happen. Any ownership that has already knocked this down has done so in writing. This would not only be a career ending decision, but would also probably result in a civil suit that would leave BOB and his family homeless.

Just to clarify. The hypothetical for this is that, rumors have been circulating for a few weeks/day/whatever about HOU trading Watson to NE. and either: 1. Ownership has not broached the subject (which would be wild) with BOB, but would be so upset if it in fact did happen, if they could have any legal recourse? or 2. Ownership has smacked this down, and BOB goes ahead and does this behind their back? Can ownership then veto or cancel this trade?

Just a thought. If this rumor is swirling on a BB forum, I would guarantee it has made it to the owner by now. Any inkling of this going down has most likely already been approved or smacked down at this point.

Unpopular opinion alert Honestly, I will be pissed if this happened and Buffalo did not at leastt inquire. Josh might be better down the line, but Watson is a stud right now at a similar age. This is a SB team with Watson right now. I would trade Josh and a 1st in a heart beat.

Live footage of Cole Beasley?

Dude, if Josh threw 100 passes and Dak threw 100 passes, Josh would have one more drop (7) than Dak (6)over those passes. 2 more drops over 200 passes, 3 more drops over 300 more passes etc. So Josh's receivers drop about 1 more pass every 3rd games than Dak's do. But please continue to condescend the board.

I agree with this. I like Cam. The person and the QB. Is he great no, but he’s had a very good career. Honestly I don’t know what, if any situation, would allow him to come in and be named the starter tomorrow. Not that he isn’t better than some options, just what teams would do it. Buffalo could handle him with strong leadership from SM. Given his playing style, nobody would be surprised if Cam has to play a few games. Cam can get his body right for a season. Show some flashes and be on to his next chapter.

Dude, I was thinking the same thing! Italics and lightning bolts in the font.

Dude, haven’t you ever been to a Bills game where we put up 19 points (our average) and lose and people say “yeah but did you see how many TD’s per throw we scored, it’s basically a tie”

Ummmm....that was the Stills Tunsil trade with Houston. That is Houstons original pick. So yes, they were a better team than us last year. And yes, that is how that draft works. It ranks everybody's overall season, and then you pick worst to best.

Dude, my response was to YOUR POST. YOU gave the ranking and sourcing of T-21. Not me. I was speaking to YOUR point and giving it context. I even adjusted the post for you to say comparable games started. It literally changes nothing about the point. Very unsure if you troll purposefully to get a reaction or if you are gaslighting.

Oh cool, you really got me, everything is invalid now. You’re so smart and I am just a dumb-dumb. The Jets game was trash. Lets just call it 15 and literally nothing changes about the point being made. Not a single QB below Allen on that list started 16 games. Brisset and Trubisky got close with 15 which is basically the same as Josh if you toss out the last Jets game. Mind you Brisset was their back up until right before the season started and was just replaced in Indy with Rivers. Chicago just traded for Foles for competition. Those are literally the best guys he was ahead of who had lots of playing time. You could throw in Darnold and Stafford but they only played 13 and 8 games respectively. Fixed it for you. It is totally possible I misunderstood the post from @John from Riverside. I just read it as, his production is fine because you have to consider his legs, when the OP was making a point to talk about passing/scoring efficiency with his arm in regards to contract extensions.

I don’t disagree. But it has no value in a conversation about Allen improving as a passer. Just because he can run doesn’t mean that he doesn’t need to improve at the most important part of his position. Running well and tough doesn’t mean he can keep being doo doo at throwing the ball consistently. I think it’s a fair ask regardless of his production with his legs.

A QB’s first job is to pass the ball. Running is an additional value but absolutely not a replacement value. I love Josh running, but bringing up running doesn’t really take away from his need to improve as a passer first and foremost.

That was my post. There are 10 teams drafting after us. So we are not top 10. We averaged 19 points a game last year. We are top 5 on the defensive side of the ball. The only thing keeping us out of being in the upper echelon conversation is offensive efficiency, consistency, and scoring. If we don’t do that, we will continue to be on the outside of that conversation.
