I am of the opinion that Derek Anderson had absolutely nothing to do with Allen's progress last year.

people spend a lot of effort on some pointless metrics. My favorite of these is the “how many starters” metric. Every team has 22 starters. Every team is going to be “good “ at least one of them r metrics “keeping our starters”, “Finding starters in free agency” , “drafting starters” or “trading for starters “. in fact, in total, each team will total to 22 for these categories in a massive 32 team tie for winning the off season.

The sausage in too tight casing look is actually "in". I used the word "absurd" because that is my opinion of it. The skinny tweeb in the mens store wheres "slim fit". Watch a rugby or football team at a college formal, and the break the casing look is everywhere. Its awful.

The absurdly tight suit is a conscience fashion choice for many under thirty years old.

maybe he works for another team in a role making those comments is not appropriate

I think the context has something do with being in the same division with the defending super bowl champion who has also won the division something like 15 years in a row.

Not yet, they are first working on one that deletes posts that pointlessly whine about a three word phrase.

This pretty much comes down to how the QBs perform. If Allen is the best QB in the AFCE this year, the Bills win the division. If he is the second best QB in the division, they will be a wild card team. If he is the third best QB in the division, they miss the playoffs. We don't have the best oline, the best WRs or the best RBs in the division. We are competitive for best defense. Aside from QB play the teams in the division match up decently with each other. Other than BB, the coaches have not distinguished themselves from one another. (People get confused that because McDermott is better than Rex, that he must be out coaching the competition too. We play games like setting the expected value at 0 wins, so we can be astonished by a 6-10 finish). I personally think that at theis point today, Allen is going to out perform 43 year old Tom Brady and be the best QB in the division. But 2020 might be too soon.

If Allen called all the same plays AND the defense could not get off the field to make adjustments, the offense would improve dramatically. The irony of this thread is that the mockers don't grasp the basic concept, and just make themselves look foolish.

How does Bill Bellichek do with second year QBs?

I think you don’t know what you were seeing

The rules are the same for everyone. The "heavier" teams are the ones that have better management and coaching. Hopefully the Bills get there.

It is hard to imagine that whatever team finishes last and has the #1 pick overall is going to pass on Trevor Lawrence.

I watched the games. I watched how McCoy tried to make juke moves that worked for his entire career, but last year were too slow to have any positive effect. Getting a year older rarely helps a old running back get faster. It would be nice if it did. Our offensive line will be better, I don't think McCoy will be. I am not saying he can;t play in the NFL. I am saying he is mostly likely now just a guy, like the rest of the running backs on the roster. No teams playing the bills will be spending extra time game planning "to stop mccoy".

I see no evidence that there is a successful slow progression of improvement model. I can't think of any teams that fall into that category. The rams, eagles, seahawks are all examples of the much more frequent quick turnaround model. Broncos and Saints are examples of the "pick your spot " model. Which team would you hold out as an example that in year 4 or 5 of coaching change all of sudden pop to the top .

McCoy probably has 5 or 6 good games per season left him based on last years debacle. The question is will he be all used up by week 6, or will the Bills spread out the work load in hopes of getting to the playoff run and playoffs with a rested McCoy. I don't know much about the rookies. The Bills veteran stable to my eyes is just as bad as last years.

I am not a "we won the off-season " guy. Most teams most years are spinning wheels. The nature of the salary cap and free agency fuels that. Its better to spin wheels when you are the Patriots or Steelers near the top of the league. But this year is really different, the clearance of salary cap, and the lack of a loss of key players is actually fairly unusual.

I Oliver and Kyle as a push. Milano is coming back from a serious injury. Alexander is aging. Defense is eligible to improve, but I will be happy if they maintain.

2nd year QB > 1st year QB 2019 WR >2018 WR 2019 OL >> 2018 OL including TE's here 2019 RB = 2018 RB 2019 Defense = 2018 defense Big improvements in expected in QB, WR and OL. No talent regressions anywhere. I think its a 5 win improvement , 11-5.

Oliver size and limited experience against top college competition are definitely elements of risk .

I will happily say I was wrong. But this is not happening.

My view is that you pick the player that improves the team the most. I suspect that is often the best player available, but probably not always.

Is there any such thing as a diminishing return in this regard? If the BPA will improve your defensive output 3%, and the second BPA will improve offensive output 8%, is it really better to take the defensive player?

Wow, I did not question anything. I asked a question because I did not know. Thanks for you feedback, I will know in the future you are a bit of jerk and won't ask any more questions.
