Say it 3 times and I will appear. Thought Whaley did a decent job. I said, for a fact, that he had a ton of respect still in Pittsburgh. No one wanted to believe it at the time. I think that him interviewing validates what I was told. The Rooney family and Kevin Colbert think very highly of him as a talent evaluator. This was an odd time to try to call me out when it is proving what you (and others) disputed.

Hard work pays off and dreams come true. Bad times don’t last but bad guys do.

😳

It’s forfeit time!!

This is where I’m at. The league is full of really bad teams with bad coaches/GMs.

Just make the Titans forfeit and move on. They are the superspreaders of the NFL.

I still don’t mind the trade but worth noting just HOW good Teller has been.

I’m 100% with you here. He is, and has been, the most overrated player in the league for a couple of years. He opened the year with the same MVP odds as Rodgers. That’s crazy.

You can’t have a disappointment list without including Carson Wentz and the Cowboys defense. Houston and Darnold have regressed but I don’t think anyone had particularly high expectations for either. Wentz was a MVP candidate and the Cowboys defense was good. They both stink at the moment.

But if he was playing like Carson Wentz he wouldn’t be getting the votes. Russell Wilson is on pace to throw for 5,136 yards and 64 TDs while completing 75% of his passes!! That why he’s the MVP frontrunner. This isn’t some conspiracy or charity given to a nice guy. He’s on pace for a season that no one has EVER had. This has everything to do with his level of play.

Russell Wilson is averaging 321 yards a game and 4 TDs while completing 75% of his passes for an undefeated team. You are acting like it’s BS that he’s the favorite right now. It’s not. He’s earned it. There’s a long way to go but he’s the favorite.

...or “Russell Wilson was the MVP of the league because he earned it.” This all assumes that he does win it.

Is this one of those insecure Bills things where we start setting ourselves up for failure so that when it happens it doesn’t hurt so badly? That’s what it feels like. The Bills have a QB that is an MVP candidate. The Packers do too. The Chiefs do too. The Seahawks have a QB that is the MVP favorite 1/4 of the way into the season. It’s really not more complicated than that. There is no reason to get all worked up and pissed off that a historically great player, playing at an MVP level is being recognized as such.

That’s a lot of mental gymnastics. Through 4 weeks Russell Wilson is the MVP of the league and deservedly so. It can certainly change. The season is a long way from over.

At this point he’s earned it. That team isn’t very good. Russell Wilson CARRIES them more than any other player right now. He has no line and no defense. He just makes plays. He should be the favorite and Josh, Rodgers and then Mahomes should be right behind.

Nice list!! Not a gripe from me. The one thing that I’ll add is Chase Young as DROY (assuming this injury isn’t long term).

Josh does not belong in the conversation with Rodgers, Mahomes, Wilson, Brady and Brees. He will receive less rope because he hasn’t earned what they have. That may change in a couple of years but you have to build the resume before you get that respect. Those guys had to accomplish things (records, MVPs, Super Bowls, etc). They have all solidified themselves as HOFers. You lost me when you wanted those guys to be looked at through the same lens as Josh. If you think that Josh is currently facing more heat than Wentz you aren’t paying attention. Wentz has been getting CRUSHED by the media. All of those young guys face lots of criticism but no one is even close to Wentz at the moment. They are all young QBs with some flaws and a lot of talent. That’s the group that he belongs in at this point. He’s the best of that group at the moment IMO (depending on where you put Lamar). Josh and Lamar are kind of a tick ahead of those others because they are more dynamic. Josh is still ascending and Lamar is a little more established.

Yeah, this team isn’t getting enough production from the FB position with DiMarco gone

It’s about resume. You mentioned 5 other QBs who are all WALKING into the HOF the first day that they are eligible. Josh isn’t that. He is a young, improving and dynamic QB. We shouldn’t be complaining that Josh doesn’t get the same leash as Mahomes, Wilson, Rodgers, Brady or Brees!! They’ve earned it. Now, if Josh isn’t getting the same leash as Darnold or Baker or Goff or (gasp) Wentz you’d have a point. All of those guys have been skewered at different points of their careers (none more so than Wentz currently).

The price doesn’t go down though. Ask the Cowboys if they’re happy that they played chicken with Dak. If you believe that he’s the guy you take that shot and open your wallet. The Bills will certainly monitor the rest of this year and potentially even the offseason but I’d be shocked if he went into 2021 without an extension.

Christopher Johnson just saw the news!!

This is what I think too. That comes this offseason IMO.

This certainly isn’t a good development for the Bills. It gives Miami a chance to keep building with high end talent. They can do something like Ja’Marr Chase and Penei Sewell if they are bad enough. They could turn around and try to get an edge rusher in the next round or trade those 2 early 2nds to move back into the 20’s and do it. That’s scary.

That’s kind of the point. He’s a fringe NFL player. He wouldn’t make the Bills roster. The 5 receivers plus Roberts are all ahead of him. We are also approaching a point where he goes to free agency. Would a team rather pay Zay Jones a few million or take a shot in drafting a guy like Isaiah Hodgins for the back of their roster? Zay isn’t Peterman-bad but he may not be in the league in 2021.

Really good analogy!!
