Finally, do you guys even remember what Josh looked like in college and during his first half season with the bills? That player absolutely flames out of the NFL within 3 years if not for superior work ethic and study of the game and position.

Also, I hope it has been pointed out already, but if it hasn't, Josh absolutely dominated Kansas City in the last three games against them. Yes, he played poorly against the bengals, but so did the entire team.

This conversation about Josh's work ethic must be the dumbest f****** IeatCrayonz-worthy s*** I've ever read on this forum. Proof of Josh's work ethic = 40 regular and postseason wins over the past three seasons, top 3 QBR over last three seasons, 148 combined passing/running TDs over last three seasons (including playoffs). Arguments against = playoff losses to Chiefs and Bengals and Jason Whitlock's imagination.

It's about 50/50 at this point, but the chorus will get louder as it appears the team has now quit on him over the past two weeks. I'm not a fan of his in game decision making (or lack thereof) and the level of underachieving speaks for itself. But part of me also thinks for all the top end talent, the roster still wasn't constructed very well. Not enough speed and not enough bat to ball contact. But I'm old school like that.

Whew! That's a relief! We should be pretty good this season.

Their "clutch" numbers are trash. Hitting sub-.200 with RISP and 6-22 in one run games. They've had some tough luck, but they've also been truly horrible situationally. I've completely soured on Bob Melvin. Worst part about it is that they've got so many of these guys locked in for the next 7-10 years.

Well, my Padres have Machado, Soto, Tatis, Bogaerts, Blake Snell, Darvish, Musgrove, Hader, etc. and are sitting at 62-72. 0-11 in extra inning games. Think they were predicted to win 92-95 games. It's been brutal.

Weird. I'm a big baseball fan, and especially so during that time frame, but I can't remember this guy at all.

Big issue with Kirksey will be his durability. He's suffered a bunch of soft tissue type of injuries over the past few years that have taken him out of the lineup. Last year was an outlier for him with regards to health.

Bastard

Perfect! Beane shored up our OT depth and found us a starting MLB in the last 20 or so hours. Good job, Brandon.

Good to see we're already in full Doomer season.

Hey, it was just research for our Sociology Ph.D. theses.

Clearly why we flicked Boogie this morning.

I love how Whitlock tries to play the race game here and preemptively throws Diggs under the bus. The guy is scum. And as if Diggs doesn't care about winning? Guy basically went nuts after losing in the playoffs. He's insanely competitive.

True. In that case we'll see even the best TBD posters of our generation driven to madness, starving hysterical naked.

Somebody better pick him up. He's my starting fantasy quarterback.

They don't have windows where I live. Only padded walls.

You're right, dude. My bad. I think I was mostly responding to the thread's narrative than your original post/question.

I really thought Jeff Tuel had what it took to be our next Jim Kelly there for about one half against the Chiefs.

Honestly, I never liked the signing from the get go. I admittedly didn't catch his early career peak with the Panthers, but I did happen to watch him last year with Houston and he looked clueless back there. You could put pretty much any QB who has seen NFL action in there to produce at or above current Kyle Allen level. I'm not sweating it too much, we do have bigger issues like MLB, but we will all be sweating it if Josh suffers the type of injury that keeps you out for a few weeks.

Why would you trade your second best corner when he is under contract for a few years on a 6th round salary? No offense, but that's a terrible idea.

At the end of the day, you need a guy who can protect the football and run the offense. If Kyle Allen isn't showing a basic ability to understand the concepts and get beyond a single read this many weeks in, that is very concerning. As far as his past stats or good play, that was some years ago now. He was terrible in the two games he started for Houston last season. The only thing he has going for him is youth.

You said Chubb...huh huh huh huh huh

NGL...got some feels watching that
