Like Ron Dayne? Michael Bennett? Montee Ball? Terrell Fletcher? For all the buzz, Wisconsin has produced 1 good RB (Gordon) and 1 good 3rd down back (White) and a string of busts.

I think there's plenty of room for middle ground on Allen. His physicality and arm strength have the potential to keep him as a NFL starter even if he doesn't round off some of the accuracy issues. He could easily be a rich man's version of Bortles, where some days he's brilliant and some he gets you beat, but just good enough it's hard to find a replacement but just bad enough you don't think he can take you all the way. Some of these other guys like Rosen and Trub just don't physically bring to the table what Allen does. I don't think Allen is near the boom / bust projection some in the media has presented.

Because they have good young WRs they want to play and I'm sure Matthews is giving back some money.

Seeing Browns vs Raiders gives me PTSD to pre Red Zone days, I vividly remember missing Brady vs Peyton games because the 2-14 Browns were playing the 4-12 Raiders in my coverage window.

I'm not insulting you. You just have no idea what you are talking about.

With all due respect, it doesn't seem like you've watched the Chiefs or Mahomes at all. The guy is throwing lasers all over the field, it's not just a stacked team, his arm has defenses scrambling and blowing coverages. Watch the TD scramble / throw against KC, he might be the only QB in the NFL who can make that play. The offense around him certainly helps, but to pretend the guy is just throwing screen passes to Tyreke Hill and watching him do all the work scream you are completely ignorant on the subject.

How long until Rodak joins The Athletic to talk about the Pats. Dude has to be hating life.

Literally anything back is a positive deal.

Are we sure the Packers are any good? Rodgers is clearly hurt, their defense is bad, their run game is bad. Rodgers may very well carve us up, but we aren't exactly playing the 2007 Pats on Sunday.

I think they'll deal him. A team can pay him over the franchise level this year. I think he'll get traded to someone who'll bring him in above the franchise tag number as part of a wink wink agreement on an extension.

It's a popularity contest, it'll be Baker in a landslide.

I never understood some of the comparisons Allen got through the whole process. I saw plenty of Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf comps. Personality wise Allen doesn't seem to be from the same planet as those type of guys. From everything I've seen on Allen he's a down to earth gym rat. Play style he looks to be in the Cam / Big Ben mold, neither guy has pinpoint accuracy, but they both possess the ability to keep the play alive and arm to make plays downfield. As for Cutler - Rosen, it doesn't take a wild imagination to see Rosen as a spoiled brat.

Kaep's career is over. His decision to sue the league slammed the door shut on his career. Now with his Nike deal (and I'm sure other advertising deals) he's making plenty off the field.

So here's my question. Obviously Josh is differently built than a guy like Deshaun Watson, is his physicality going to lead to him being officiated differently than a more "slight" QB?

Mixon was a beast this year before he got hurt.

Dorsey needs to get Tyrod out of town asap. Hue is going to figure out a way to mess this up.

I think the officials were just trolling Clay yesterday. I don't see how that one was a flag.

More like the hidden rule of officiating is try to have as many games competitive into the 4th quarter as possible.

Right. I'm pretty sure they were on the short list of teams serious about Mack. I think they planned to play him this year, then tag and flip him for anything next year. They are all in.

A 2nd round pick will never be the biggest bust in living memory.

I'm elated we got the win. I don't want to join the Browns and Lions in the 0-16 club. That being said, I'm pretty realistic about where the talent level currently stands, adding a guy like Bosa or Oliver to the young talent we already have with the mountain of cap space we'll have this winter sounds a lot more appealing than another 6-10, pick 9th type of season, of which there were far too many in the drought.

I know. And we don't present a "Super Bowl" contender chance to sway him. Just sad to see him finish his career on that team. Also. Fantasy Football....

I want him to have a legit chance at the SB, but Larry Fitz could be available at a reasonable price if the Cardinals have any sense at all. Give them Benjamin and a draft pick swap.

Johnson JUST signed a 3 year extension 2 weeks ago. He's stuck.

Waiting for the Rams to find a way to get Watt.
