  1. No problem. I find that I have to clarify quite a lot of what I say.
  2. It's a scale so he falls between the two in certain areas. Mariota and Wentz being the different ends of the spectrum. I'm also guessing that height/weight wise, Allen is bang in the middle of the two. Athleticism also goes beyond the stopwatch, it also impacts stylistic approach.
  3. How about Jerel Worthy? Is that really a surprise? Can't see them keeping three different 3-tech bodies. Kyle is starting and Adolphus is only one year in.
  4. Took a look at half a dozen Josh Allen games yesterday. Nowhere near the finished article yet but there's a few building blocks for 2017. The arm is really impressive. He's got an "effort ball" where he can seriously gun it but it has a lower trajectory, more likely to be tipped. Athletically, he's on the Mariota/Wentz scale. Some similar ball security issues to those guys as well. Nice quick release and willingness to fit tight windows over the middle. Plays off-script and can make plays by extending. Really needs to make all of his fakes/handoffs look the same but he's even faked out a couple of cameramen Seems as though there's a disconnect between upper and lower body mechanics with him. Squares up nicely for throws on the move. Feet don't seem to line up properly, especially on throws from in the pocket. Throwing base also gets a little wide when moved off his spot. There's also some major issues with decision making (15 INT's could've easily been 20+) and correctly moving against pressure. Some of that is simply due to inexperience but I want to see him learn the value of throwing it away. Although they've worked so far, he's got to stop the cross-body throws. NFL DB's will eat that **** up. Interested to see how Wyoming develop him. Losing all 3 of his top targets from last season (including the amazing Tanner Gentry). The under center stuff helps but I'd like to see them add a little more speed option because his athletic ability is a positive. Talent to work with but I'm just not ready to annoint him just yet.
  5. As far as I'm aware, if she couldn't present a working majority to the Queen, the opposition would've been granted the chance to do likewise. Even with Labour, the Lib Dems, SNP, Plaid Cymru & the Greens in unison, that's only 313. Then it's still about Sinn Fein and the DUP.
  6. Literally only just realised what LAMP means. Man, I'm a bit thick
  7. League discipline under Goodell has typically been as much about perception than anything else. He pretty clearly couldn't get through the field sobriety test. Keep him in Buffalo once Uber is up and running.
  8. No doubt that there's some mindblowingly stupid people on the left. I get called liberal a fair bit but I'm more 'issue-based centrist' if I tag myself with anything. I like to believe that I'm intelligent enough to make my own mind up about most things. That said, if you run a "Corbyn is a terrorist lover" campaign, maybe don't keep power by jumping in bed with a party that has links to extremist paramilitary groups. To the counterpoint, there's also a lot of folks on the right that'll tell you they have a right as Christians to believe a cubic !@#$ton of crazy **** that they condemn in other religions. We're all pretty horrible in some way or another
  9. First off, you should really stop using Facebook On the face of it, they seem pretty distasteful to a lot of my sensibilities. However, being a creationist isn't about tolerance, that's an issue of extreme stupidity.
  10. Probably. Would explain the forearms.
  11. Certainly more friendly to them than the SNP or the Lib Dems will be, that's for sure. Lord Buckethead stands again, I'm moving to Maidstone - https://twitter.com/scottbix/status/873014998179745794
  12. I'm still waiting on the maturation of Gedion Zelalem. I'll take him on loan at Stockport next year
  13. It does reinforce my belief that people are typically fundamentally good. We may disagree on football but that's just a game. Views differ wildly because it just doesn't matter. On basic principles of being good people/friends/neighbours, we're probably more alike than we realise. Even going back to my BBMB days, Bills fans have been a great support network for me when I've struggled with mental health issues. A few years ago, I had a pretty severe breakdown and felt as though I had nowhere else to turn. If it wasn't for the compassion of almost total strangers, I might not even be here.
  14. Nick Freeman wouldn't have got him off that charge so this dude must be the Jesus of lawyers
  15. Kellen Clemens being that high makes me want to vomit. Good old Mr 54% with more turnovers than scores, a "useful stand-in" he ain't. Although, with the criteria set, I see why Cardale might be up there. With an arm like his, the deep ball is a viable theoretical point, thus leading to plausible chunks of yardage to be gained.
  16. He always seemed to be destined for an untimely demise. For whatever reason, trouble seemed to follow him at every turn. I hope he's at peace with whatever demons he's been haunted by.
  17. The Tories will likely seek a coalition with the DUP in Northern Ireland to get over the 326 mark. Not something they'd want to do but at least they're Brexit-friendly for them.
  18. It's almost as if you treat the electorate with contempt, they might actually have enough IQ points to realise it. May needs to resign. She thought this would be a walkover, ran the worst campaign I've been witness to. All after saying that she wouldn't call another general election, to boot.
  19. It's a big enough deal that you can use both.
  20. We should sign Pitta! Git 'er done!
  21. She's a bit of an all-rounder. Accomplished equestrianer and captain of the England Kabaddi team. http://www.footballamerica.co.uk/blog/meet-phoebe-schecter-48.html
  22. The onset of schizophrenia tends to be late teens & early 20's. I'm fairly sure that at least a few young players that have gone off the rails have would be likely candidates for it. Adam Muema being the most likely one.
  23. I feel the urge to listen to Rick Astley.
