Honestly, if we are playing shoulda, woulda, coulda... QB- Stay at 10 for Mahomes or Watson. Keep Cordy Glenn- Dawkins is still good on the left side, but has been basically average +/1 depending on the game,move him to LG. OL would go Glenn, Dawkins, Morse, Feleciano/Ford, Nseke Keep Woods- WR Corp- Brown, Woods, Beasley, Foster Keep Dareus- DL Hughes, Dareus, Oliver, Shaq (keep Dareus instead of paying Star would be cheaper than trading and signing both) Keep Gilmore (and maybe Darby)- Gilmore, Wallace, Neal Keep Shady- Shady/Motor, Gore- don't sign Fumbly McYeldon. . Not only do I think that is a better roster than we have now, but we wouldn't have to deal with taking a step back last year because we didn't have any money.

This made me laugh out loud. Point is, the original pre-draft right up, really is not all that different than JA, and both tested very similarly at the combine. Their strengths and weaknesses are pretty similar. EJ Height: 6'5" Weight: 237 Arms: 35" Hands: 10 3/8" 40: 4.65 Veritcal: 34.0" Broad Jump: 118" 3 Cone: 7.08" Shuttle: 4.21" JA Height: 6'5" Weight: 237 lbs Arms: 33 1/4" Hands: 10 1/8" 40: 4.75 Vertical: 33.5" Broad Jump: 119" 3 Cone: 6.9" Shuttle: 4.4"

I rowed (crew) on the US National team for a few years, and lived at the Olympic Training Center.

Since we are playing this game... STRENGTHS Physically imposing passer. Throws from the shotgun formation quite often, but is also effective on play action. Flashes the velocity to stretch the field and throw in tight spaces between defenders and on the sideline. Good athlete with the mobility to step up in the pocket to avoid pressure and take advantage of openings to pick up first downs with his feet. Quick release, though it often looks as though he?s throwing darts on shorter throws. Intelligent, high character team leader. WEAKNESSES Gives opponents too many chances for turnovers by forcing throws into coverage trying to make a play. Area code accuracy ? short throws are often low or wide, preventing receivers from making a play after the catch. Deep ball accuracy is uneven, as well. Gets happy feet under pressure, spins to the outside to avoid the rush. Inconsistent recognizing blitz. Must step into his throws more consistently to fully utilize his arm strength. BOTTOM LINE As gifted as any quarterback in the class, the physically imposing has a chance to shoot up this list using his strong arm and mobility. Scouts appreciate his leadership qualities and toughness , and hope he can improve on his consistency. decision-making and accuracy drop in the face of pressure, but has the velocity and mobility teams look for in a project quarterback.

Used to be pro in a different, MUCH LESS lucrative sport for a number of years. Years later, working 9-5 in my 30’s, I wish my parents pushed me towards a sport that paid a whole lot better. The football paycheck equivalent of me in my sport would have set me for life. ?

After a few beers, feels like I’d pull the trigger on Zay and a 4th. I say that thinking Zay gets a bad wrap in Buffalo.

Would you, and if so, how much? https://www.12up.com/posts/nfl-insider-believes-broncos-could-deal-emmanuel-sanders-and-chris-harris-jr-before-trade-deadline-01dp4t543r3g

This is awesome. Love it!

I hate playing what-ifs. You are what you perform. My last national championship, I had a terrible start, I still won; but just missed fastest time of the entire race by about a second. I thought for a moment, “if only”. But the result is, if the were better I would have set the record. But I wasn’t beater, so I didn’t. You either own in and live with it, or think what-if’s and never become good enough. I think JA holds himself to the same standard, and it’s in the franchises best interest to do the same. Judge by production, not “what-ifs” or “shoulda-couldas”

The more Allen plays, the more he almost looks like a replica of Favre. He’s missing connecting on some of those deep post and seem patterns. If he can start to connect on more of those and elevate his WR’s on this plays, we have a baller!

JA is responsible for 10 points of turn overs. If this were a game where both teams scored 28+, I’d be Temped to agree. But it’s not. It’s a game lost 16-10 where we had bad QB play, from a QB with a number of games with bad QB-ing.

I love this so much! Brady generally gives great public insight to most elite althletes/Olympians that aren’t NFL, NBA, NHL. Don’t get high after any win that isn’t a championship. Everything coupd always be better. This though...it as great of a response as you’ll get out of him. Beaten, bruised. Not “fix your mistakes, look at the film. We could always be better, we just didn’t play our football”. It’s just him sort of losing. They’ll win another 8+ games this year. Our next few games are tough and will be real identity makers for us. Most are playing tough hard football with a record around .500.

JESUS... I can grasp a couple of super homer and super negative Allen threads, but post BBMB, the multiple mirror threads have gotten absurd the last few years. Its a message board, we will keep calling eachother names, such is message board life, but this thread in particular really grinds my gears. Mods- can we close or merge please.

The honest answer is, we are a brutal fan base with a generation of irrelevance. When things are going well, we will make all the excuses. When things go poorly, talent be damned, GTFO. Yeah, he bungled that. But it the point remains, however odd topic, that Bruce was a premier pass rusher at a position that isn’t meant to rush the passer. Surely we can agree on that. With recency bias, does Gilmore fit into this category?

I agree with the 1/11th. On the flip side, we can’t keep devoting first round picks to the defense. They’ll need to find a way to find a strong unit with devoting a first every year to that side of the ball. I am interested to see how they manage the cap in the next few years with Edmunds, Oliver, Tre. Plus need on the offensive side of the ball with WR and OL. They could use another edge rusher plus Jerry is pushing age at 31. He won’t play at this level 3-4 years from now. 2020 and 2021 will need yo be this regimes most resourceful and strategic drafts.

We have one starting RB the last 2 weeks...4 weeks into the season. Even if Singletary was heathy, I’d rather pay Shady to be on the roster than to take the cap hit and not be on the roster. A. Fair. I’ll stop hijacking the thread after this post. Originally I was responding to a post here on here on whether or not Gore could be productive handling the work load given his age and mileage. He wouldn’t need to if we weren’t eating his dead cap for him not to be here. B. I tend (hope) to agree with this point. From a roster perspective we are better with his 10 carries and his cost, than without him...for the same cost.

We are eating the cap anyways. Money was a non-issue

Dude, it is a fair critique. It was a weird roster move to begin with. We just played the Patriots with the oldest RB in the league or had our QB run the ball...who is now injured....from running the ball... Hindsight isn't the issue here. It is lack of foresight.

This is the measuring stick....really? Pitt- Ben- It is very much looking like that was his last season opener he'll start in his career. And a good chance he retires this year. God knows he has been talking about it long enough. Rudolph looks ready to take over, but there is still a lot of football to play. MIA- They are literally trying to lose games NYJ- Luke Falk- 2nd year player--6th round pick--on his 3rd team in about 500 days- back up to the back up QB-- making his first ever NFL start. As fans we can scream and cheer for JA until our eyes bleed, and still be concerned about his level of play or progression. We don't have to change the metrics for what good QB play is.

If only we had a solution for RB depth a few weeks ago....

Yeah...I am gonna stay as far away from that as I can for maybe 10 years. At least v.3.0. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. A couple HS or Pro football/soccer/lacrosse etc. players are directed to use the wonder cream/spray, and somebody permanently scrambles their eggs.Use the spray and cream, and follow the exact same timeline, because brain health is important.

EJ retired after being signed by KC to back up Mahomes. The league didn't give up on him. he retired.

They do? He has 22 TO in 16 games. You mentioned the bad luck in week 1. He also had 3 INT's in week 4. Doesn't feel like it is evening out 6 INTS and 6 Fumbles (2 lost) this year. 10 career games with 2 or more turn overs. Only 7 career games with 2+ TDs (Rush + Pass). This is a big one...Thrown more than one touchdown in a game twice in his career. Neither this year.... I am cool if he turns into Favre. He has a similar style, and some of the hero ball in him. He has to put up more points with his arm. I don't give a $h*t if he throws 2 INTS every game, but in 2019, you have to be able to toss more than 1.1 TD per game to go along with it. There have been great flashes that get me excited, but it has to stop being a play or two, or just a series at some point. This! I am actually fine with it, but if this is going to be the case, he needs to start putting up more yards and TD's with his arm.

We actually don't know this. We all hope it, but the jury is still out on JA being a long term franchise QB. I agree with all of this. The perfect QB for DJ. Trent was 'OK' but not good. If he had any fire he would have been much better. But he didn't, so he retired after a few years, even when he probably could have made a career as a backup. I mean, come on. He didn't just struggle for 2 quarters...he struggles for 2-3 quarters every game.

I mean, BB also ran single high or cover 0 all day as well.
