Kirby Jackson

I haven’t any of this thread but from being here for north of 25k posts (embarrassing) I want to try something new. Did the conversation go like this? Those who didn’t want Josh tried to dig in and take a “wait and see approach.” Those who wanted Josh tried to say “I told you so” and disparaged every other QB in the class. It broke off into a debate of should we have taken Lamar (as he is the best of that class but those on this side would have easily taken Baker, Rosen, Darnold, Rudolph, etc.. to fit the argument). Those defending Josh immediately have to discredit Lamar (or Baker, Rosen, Darnold, Rudolph, etc..) to strengthen their argument for Josh. The one thing that we’ve learned on this message board is there CAN’T be 2 successful guys, at the same position, in the same draft class. How did I do?

I’m a bit skeptical about Allen improving. I mean, someone show me some proof!! I just don’t see it

This is just great stuff

Blue on White!! @YoloinOhio is slipping!! Fire that guy

I wish that I could. There may be no perfect formula but just from eyeballing this it is clearly broken. It’s impossible to have a team, with 2 more losses, including a loss at home to the team with 2 less losses, 9 spots ahead. I know that people hated it but the BCS was usually pretty close. 7 spots ahead of a team that has 4 more wins.

As a big believer in analytics I have no problem with that. I have an issue with the data that they are using to analyze it. CLEARLY, it is a flawed formula.

I’m not one to complain about power rankings but it’s the worst that I’ve ever seen.

Enjoy, here ya go!! https://www.numberfire.com/nfl/teams/power-rankings

Not too mention Old Uncle Kirb’s has the Texans +220 to win the AFC South and the Colts under 7.5 wins (not looking so hot here).

I said 1 non-conference (same thing).

I hate to be “that guy” but conference record supersedes common opponent record. https://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures. We don’t know how Indy will finish in conference as they still have 3 NFC games left. The Bills have 1. It’s possible that the teams tie but Indy wins more AFC games and finishes ahead of the Bills.

I’m with Kyle Brandt. Josh is an elite runner. Why would you want him not to run? Injuries can happen on any play so I don’t want to hear that nonsense. The Bills lack playmakers and Josh is one of the few that they have. He needs to make plays with his arms and legs for this team to succeed. He’s a spitting image of a young Cam Newton.

I like Bates too. I want both. You can cut Perry or Boettger or whomever.

This is kind of my take Aug. Seantrel isn’t great but he’s serviceable. He plays a position of need and has some experience. He’s a better use of a roster spot at this point than certain other guys.

Maybe it doesn’t, but I promise I’m telling the truth. They think really highly of him. Maybe he views it as a demotion? I don’t know the guy or his situation. It could even be family related. He has a reputation in that area. Maybe it’s a Sean Payton type of situation? Who knows but that’s what they said

I got them at 7. Still feel pretty good about it

That is the case. It seems even stupider in hindsight. I think they even did a special review of it and decided to not allow it. These other leagues ALWAYS look the other way with weed.

Ha ha, that wasn’t for you. I can’t tell on here sometimes though!! Ha ha, we really need that sarcasm font. I’m just not sure he wants to go back there. I don’t know the guy but am sure he has an ego. I don’t know the details. I just know what I’ve been told.

So, you think I’m crazy because I think he’d make the a good 4th tackle. I believe he’s better than other options available at Thanksgiving. You don’t want him but you have zero other options? Also, if you think he’s in a small minority smoking weed in the NFL you are lost. The number is EASILY 50% plus of players. In fact, Martellus Bennett thinks it’s closer to 90% https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/martellus-bennett-estimates-that-nearly-90-percent-of-nfl-players-smoke-marijuana/amp/. No NFL team is scared off be weed in 2019. It’s not even an interview. I’m not sure why you are arguing with me on this? What I’m telling you is true. He can go back there at anytime.

You can believe me or not but that’s 100% the case. That’s why I called it a fact. I’ve been told that.

That’s a cop-out answer!! I asked you who specifically is a better option?

I happen to know the Colbert family as I’ve said before. He 100% could go back there if he wanted to. The Steelers organization has a very high opinion of him.

You think that a guy with 29 starts in 39 games is a bad idea as your 4th tackle? You tell me what better options are out there right now with Nsekhe out? Who, on the street, is a better idea?

He can go back to Pittsburgh tomorrow to be Colbert’s #2. I know that for a fact. I think that he is running football ops for the XFL or something now. He was okay.

I know that’s kind of your schtick but the guy was a 7th round pick that’s started 29 of 39 career games. He’s also made it 6 years in the league (twice as long as the average career). I’d call that a pretty good 7th rounder.
