    Very bad news if true. I am suffering from the same issue and suffering is the word. 3 months ago I would play basketball twice weekly and flag football on a weekend. Now, I ride a bike and that's about all I have. It is impossible to run more than 10 feet without severe pain.

     

    I'm in a similar situation at the age of 34. I don't know if I am officially bone on bone but I always have a small sensation of discomfit on the medial side of my knee throughout the day. At my last knee surgery the doctor only cleaned up the lateral side because he said there wasn't much more he could do to help the medial side.  Used to play a lot of pick up basketball. That stopped almost two years ago. Just started cycling a few months ago. Much more forgiving on the knees. So far, I can cycle hard and not have any issues during or after a ride. The frustrating thing about cycling though is that it's more time consuming then just going for a quick run. To get a really good workout cycling you have to go for an hour at minimum but often more like 2 hours at least.

     

    Wasn't Myles Jack reported to have a similar issue before his draft? Dropped him to the second round I think.

  2. I'm fully prepared for us to get hosed in a trade with the Giants. That said, I'm totally okay with it given out draft capital and need for a franchise QB. Move up to #2 and get the guy you want. As long as that guy isn't Allen of course. Anyone of Darnold, Mayfield or Rosen will work and moving up to #2 is the only way you guarantee you get one of them. Beane is doing his best to try to bring down the price that the Giants will ask from us by saying we could easily pursue other trades to #4 or #6 and still get our guy. But ultimately, once the Giants are on the clock, if they are truly looking to move out and acquire a lot of draft capital, then I think that is what will happen.,

    DUDE READ WHAT YOU ARE TYPING

     

    for christ sake

    Read this:

     

    Bills have been owned by Brady. Your argument is that he owns every team. I disagree. He's dominated every team not named Denver or Kansas City.  But as far as owning teams, goes that's clearly been us.  

     

    28-3 speaks for itself compared to 21-10 and 25-7.

     

    It's really just semantics between "owned" and "dominated" and not worth debating any longer.

     

    Moving on...

    And every other team in the league.....but anyway

    The Bills have beaten Brady only twice in games that matter. He's 28-3 against us when he starts. Compare that to the Dolphins and Jets whom he is 21-10 and 25-7 against respectively. He's human against Denver and Kansas City, 7-6 and 4-3 winning records against them respectively. Throwing out the teams that are 0-4 and 0-5 against Brady we have the worst winning percentage against Brady.

    I like this idea less and less as the off-season has played out. I think Darnold goes 1. Go to 5 or 6 and get Rosen (he’s my guy anyways). Preserve your 2019 pick because this team isn’t going to be great. Offer the Colts 12, 53, 65 and a 2019 4th. That’s more than enough. You still get your QB, LB, WR and OL before pick 100.

    Can't see the Colts accepting for such little value. Switch out either 53 or 65 with 22 and I can see that trade happening.

  6. I don't think Beane over played his hand. I think the Colts simply did the smart thing. Make two teams overpay. They know they'll get greater value that way in the long run. And if in the long run they don't work out a second trade with us or another team like the Dolphins or Cardnials, they know they will still get a heck of player in Chubb, Barkley or Nelson at #6.

    At this period of time there is a good reason why  teams aren't making deals just prior to the draft: It isn't a smart thing to do. If a team such as Buffalo is targeting a particular player why make a deal if you are not sure that that player will be on the board. If there are going to be deals it will happen on the day of the draft as it is unfolding. 

    Exactly. Bills very well could have Darnold rated head and shoulders above everyone else at the position. If he were to somehow get past the Browns, Bills very well could throw everything including the kitchen sink towards the Giants in terms of trade value to move up. Talking four first round picks. Now if he isn't there at #2, they may prefer to see who falls at 12 or move up to 5-7 i f the deal is friendly to them in value. We just don't know.

    It's just another word to describe intangibles that aren't measurable (leadership, charisma, toughness, swagger, strong work ethic).  I'm cautious of that word too as Sanchez and Manziel also had the "it" factor associated with them.

    I never once considered Sanchez a guy that had the "it" factor. This coming from a USC fan. Darnold certainly has more "it" factor than Sanchez ever had IMO.

     

    The thing I like most about Mayfield is walking on two different programs and performing as well as he did at both. He had the confidence to turn down scholarship offers at smaller FBS schools because he believed in his abilities. Throw in the fact that he actually might just be the most accurate passer in this draft as well and you have all the more reason to love him as a prospect. He could be the closets thing to Drew Brees.

  9. I want to say three years. But EJ got far less than that so it very well could be 1.5 years.

    I believe that there will be some here who will HATE the new QB on draft day and they will not stop until the Bills get a QB to their liking.

     

    So.... the lines will be drawn on April 26th 2018

    x10 if we end up with Allen, Jackson, Rudolph or any of the lesser known QBs.

    10 or more wins is a good possibility.  I expect the team to be better overall.  But, more importantly, whoever starts at quarterback will be better than the trash we had for the past two years! Therein lies the difference.

    I thought the same thing when Losman was taking over for Bledsoe. How could any QB do any worst than Drew's last couple of seasons with us? Well we found out it was possible. Throw in the questions marks at linebacker and O-line and who knows how we'll do in 2018.

    Assuming we don't move up, if Jackson and Rudolph are the only viable  qbs still available at 12,  I'm going D and hoping one is available at 22.

    I sure hope Beane's draft strategy of getting a QB does not consist of "hoping". If the QB is worthy of #22 then just take him at #12. Is anyone really going to fuss about overpaying by 12 picks if we end up with a franchise QB. If Beane thinks neither is worthy of being a first round pick then that is fine too.

    I hope some of you are sitting down because I am about to go against type...

     

    I don't think they will be very good at all. These Bills are a total tear-down and I have no idea who will be good or how long it will take the rookies to contribute. Even if we get the franchise QB, there's too many questions at a lot of positions.

     

    I love our secondary and McCoy. But honestly, that's about it. I could easily see us being bad as well. Certainly feel we are closer to a 4 win team next year then we are an 11 win team.

    And sometimes you win 10+ 2 years in a row and make the playoffs. Not good enough so you dump your QB and go on a 17 year drought.  

     

    I hope it works this time (dumping your playoff QB  because he's not good enough) unlike the last time we did that.

    And that previous QB at least got the benefit of playing with a really good defense. Something our most recent QB never came close to having his three seasons with us.

  13. Both are important but actual hand size may be more critical than grip strength. 

     

    Think of it like this: 

     

    Whether you have big hands, average hands or small hands, you're probably going to be able to grip a baseball no problem. A person with smaller hands may actually have  a greater grip strength then someone with 10" hands. But that grips strength is dramatically decreased if you can't get most of your hand around the object you are trying to grip, such as a football or basketball. Most grip strength measurement devices I have seen are rather small, like a pistol grip type thing. No problem to get ones hands around that.
