...sign Bridgewater instead of McCarron?

This is too random to be brought up out of the blue, which leads me to 2 questions for the OP: Do you still have the facial hair? Did you get your teeth fixed? ?

So you're saying we should pull the old switcharoo? Or is this more of a what's good for the goose is good for the gander?

Never underestimate Gruden's love of all QBs.

We drafted Gilmore 3 spots before Floyd.

I think the Browns & Jets will both make better offers than us.

'04 was our last year with Pat Williams. '14 was our one year with Schwartz. Looks like we're due to stop the run again in 2024.

If what we saw on Sunday is a fair representation of what we can expect from our O-line this season, it almost seems cruel to make anyone start at QB.

I didn't understand the decision to rush the punt team out there when Allen dove near the first down marker, either. If our O-line is this bad, Allen will be playing very soon regardless of which QB starts week 1.

I was initially disappointed when the Bills traded up to #4 in the 2014 draft, but quickly reassured myself that Mack would be worth it. Then... POW! Disappointment would win the day.

From Peter King's column this morning (apologies if it's already been posted): "I asked Pro Football Focus, which gives me a smart chunk of this column each week, to judge the first-round rookie quarterbacks by a metric you might not know: ball location on throws by the quarterback. The theory: Completion percentage is a good number, but it doesn’t take into account when a quarterback has two receivers with great hands, or whether his three key guys have, say, 30 drops in a season. Adjusted completion percentage is better because it accounts for drops. But ball-location (hitting the receiver in stride with an easily catchable ball) is interesting because in today’s NFL, so many throws are short passes, and how many yards a receiver makes after the catch often depends on the throw. Did the quarterback lead him properly? For the last two years, PFF has charted the ball location of every NFL throw, and also the throws of the current rookie QB crop, made. The top three passers last year in ball-location: Drew Brees 70.4 percent, Tom Brady 65.8 percent, Jimmy Garoppolo 61.9 percent. Baker Mayfield led the draft prospects in 2017 with a ball-location accuracy of 64.9 percent. Through the fist half of the preseason, the best man of the five first-rounders in ball location is Sam Darnold of the Jets. The numbers: Sam Darnold, Jets, 84.6 percent. Josh Allen, Bills, 70.0 percent. Baker Mayfield, Browns, 69.0 percent. Josh Rosen, Cards, 58.3 percent. Lamar Jackson, 36.0 percent. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/08/20/jon-gruden-raiders-training-camp-fmia-peter-king/ It's early & a very small sampe size, but encouraging nonetheless.

Personally, I'd keep McCaffrey & the 3rd over Hunt & the 4th if it's PPR. At the same time, it's hard to ignore the value of Diggs for a 14th in any format.

Works on contingency? No, money down!

Then my work is done here.

Rex Ryan did some serious damage to the credibility of both Brandon (who didn't want to let him leave the building) and Whaley (who spoke of national brands and soulmates). Without him, maybe those guys would still be running the show. Thank you, Rex.

Even though he has yet to step on the field, I'm currently liking the idea of taking Dalvin Cook @ 10 in my 12 team ppr. Lots of late value @ QB, with established guys like Luck, Goff, & Ryan available in the 9th & beyond. Of course, all of this is subject to change over the next 3 weeks.

NFL teams are well aware of his repeated run-ins with the law. Whether it be a credit card scam, issues with marijuana or a sexual assault allegation (he was later cleared), Callaway hasn’t been able to stay out of trouble. “He is super talented. The tape from his sophomore season’s really good,” a scout told Pelissero. “But he is a train wreck when it comes to some of that off-field stuff. Poor decision-making at every turn.” Another scout said the drug issues are a higher concern, and he reportedly admitted to smoking marijuana about six weeks before the NFL combine, per Pelissero. “He’s not a bad kid, either. He’s just been around a lot of trouble,” an AFC scout told Pelissero. “And he admits to the fact that trouble finds him. He just hangs with the wrong people. It’s a shame, because he’s ridiculously talented.” https://www.seccountry.com/florida/nfl-scout-calls-florida-wr-antonio-callaway-a-train-wreck-with-off-field-issues

Love this trade. Coleman hasn't shown much for a 1st rounder, but I like that they're actively trying to better themselves. Assuming it was a 4th or 5th rounder, it seems like a small price to pay. Let's hope for some of that 3rd year WR magic.

Let the airing of grievances begin!

Le'Veon Bell says "don't make me pull a Shady" in his latest rap song. http://www.tmz.com/2018/08/03/leveon-bell-lesean-mccoy-rap-make-me-pull-a-shady/?adid=hero2 There's an insane amount of talent involved in rhyming Shady with shady. No need to play football anymore.

The woman's son was pissed that he didn't get a raise in his allowance, so he hatched a plan to climb out the window and leave a bedsheet for one of his buddies to climb in & rob the place. She came home earlier than expected & things fell apart.

Funny thing: one of Manziel's WRs was some guy named TJ Graham. The commentators said he was a former 3rd round pick of the Bills, but I don't have any recollection of that.

I doubt Belichick is very happy about this: Julian Edelman (knee) said he doesn't have his "camp legs" yet. "I don't have my camp legs, I don't have football legs and it's evident out there," said the veteran slot receiver. "I wasn't as good as I want to be today and feeling that's because I'm not in the best shape right now." Edelman went on to describe the first eight days of camp as a "grind," while noting he's developed some "bad habits." The 32-year-old obviously has some rust to shake off after missing all of last season with a torn ACL. Edelman won't be eligible to return until Week 5 while he serves a four-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy. Source: ESPN.com Aug 3 - 4:59 PM
