We've come a long way as fans... When I was a kid it was "check out my Thurmanator poster!" Now, we're discussing the ejection fraction of Star's heart and whether he has underlying medical conditions that explain his absence from a voluntary minicamp in May

Nobody forces anyone to get up and go to work everyday.. it's a choice we all make, just like this. The NFL/NFLPA are apparently going to make it extremely enticing to get the shot, and extremely inconvenient to not get it. But it's still a choice.

It's pretty cool that current players are willing to help guys from other teams out like this I get retired guys doing it, but you're helping your opponents this way as well.

Could be a good team for a 3 way trade: Texans get 3 1sts Packers get Watson Some other team gives up 3 1sts and gets Rodgers I'm really looking forward to seeing Stafford on a good team with a real coach finally. They gave Green Bay a game last year and beat Tampa during the season. That's with Goff, the Madden controller QB. They can absolutely win the NFC. Early prediction for the NFC Title Game: Rams and Packers (assuming Rodgers is still on the Packers). And we all know how NFC Title Games go when Rodgers plays!

Tyrod is just good enough at not doing anything either way that he keeps getting half-hearted chances on bad teams.

For Julio, that's a brilliant way of saying what you want to say publicly without looking like the bad guy. It would require Sharpe to take some flak initially, but Julio can always "forgive him" and they can both say it was all a misunderstanding.

Wow! LOL Green Bay could buy a lot of forgiveness with a trade for Julio....

It's like the Falcons are bound and determined to waste Matt Ryan's career... "We've got all these great weapons again, finally, and a highly respected offensive HC! Let's trade our best WR to a conference rival!" They do know a thing or two about being in a great situation and blowing it!

This is why I'm hoping that either Star has been putting in the work in the dining room this offseason, or we pick up a free agent giant man to play DT

ultimately, the Jaguars are somehow interesting now, and this is entertainment! So it's a big W for the Jaguars organization!

I bet we were trying to move up for Paye when he fell that far. We almost got him as it was.

Mahomes reminds me so much of Peyton Manning. Of course there are differences in their games (Mahomes is more mobile, but most QBs are) but both want the big chunk plays. Peyton wasn't thought of as having a strong arm, but he wanted big chunk passes, and that's why his teams struggled sometimes in the playoffs. You could take that away and force him to nickel and dime you, which frustrated him, and he would still try those throws and start making mistakes. Manning wanted to chuck it deep every play if he could. Brady would (and will) happily take 5, 7, 11, 7 , 10, 15, 7, and all of a sudden it's first and goal. Like Manning's teams, the Chiefs want to send their track stars on 45 yard routes. When it doesn't work their offense doesn't work (see the Super Bowl). Yes, the OL was an issue, but when they get frustrated they try to force things deep, thinking that any moment Hill will get open for a 60 yard TD. It works a lot of the time, so you can't blame them I guess. Hey, Peyton went to 4 Super Bowls and has 2 rings, so it worked out OK. Mahomes will probably get more cracks at rings in his career. He's already been to 2 Super Bowls in 3 seasons as a starter, and really should have been in 3 straight. How does this relate to Allen's game? To me, the most surprising thing is how Allen has quickly become a much more polished passer than most of us expected. He isn't just a super athletic big guy who can jump over LBers and chuck the ball 70 yards. He's still that, but now he also is becoming incredibly proficient in distributing the ball and protecting himself from taking those big shots. At the end of the day, if Allen continues on this trajectory the Bills are going to win a Super Bowl, because if you have a great HC (we do) and a top 5 QB (we very well might and maybe already do) then you're going to play in the big game at least once.

As crazy as it sounds, Allen might end up being as good or better than Mahomes. You would be swapping a great player for a great player at the same position. It really doesn't make sense to do that, unless it's a Russell Wilson for Aaron Rodgers type deal where both guys are unhappy and everyone ends up winning. BTW, how fun is it that this is a conversation, instead of arguing amongst ourselves over whether ________ is a "franchise QB"

Well, he makes the Lions interesting

Someone (I forget who the guest was, so I apologize) on WGR during One Bills Live before the draft was saying that Singletary had been working on his explosiveness and speed in the offseason, and he had gone from wanting the Bills to draft a RB to 100% on board with Singletary based on the results of his offseason work. I found that interesting... They were talking about whether you could really improve speed, and I guess (based on the conversation) that guys CAN add a little bit of speed in terms of top-end but really add explosiveness, which is more important 90% of the time.

For me, there's a handful: Colts: mostly due to Reich being there Chiefs: Andy Reid as a HC and I don't mind seeing young stars like Mahomes rack up accolades Packers: a classic team with great fans... too bad MGT can't keep star QBs happy there Cardinals: my second favorite team as a kid because I liked their helmet Rams: cool uniforms and I want to see Stafford finally enjoy some winning because he is a class act and totally underrated as a QB due to playing in DET

I assuming they are selling 100% of stadium capacity?

I don't love Thanksgiving games but at least it's on later

glad to see a 1T being brought in, although I preferred whoever the 350+ pound guy was someone mentioned 325 is still not too bad, especially at 6'3''

I would enjoy Dallas/Tampa

I am excited to see Stafford on the Rams. They could easily be a Super bowl contender. They were in the playoffs last year and gave Green Bay a game in the Divisional round.

The NFL LOVES putting the Bears on SNF I guess they love crazy score games like 18-12

I think Rodgers on the Steelers or Saints would be a lot of fun. Won't happen either way but a lot more fun than Denver.

I think it's going to be the Bills Cowboys are a huge draw whenever they play, so that game could be MNF or SNF later in the year. Bills are an exciting up and coming team, there's the history with Brady, and Bills/Bucs is a really interesting matchup.

Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence, Etienne, and Tebow make the Jaguars pretty interesting to watch! Before this season it would be work to watch a Jaguars game that didn't involve the Bills
