We can agree to disagree but I think you can be a gentleman and a shrewd business man. Seen it, done it.
One is character the other is how you conduct business - you can be a gentleman while making demands. But I think we’ll just agree that these two sides are not to be reconciled.
He wasn't a shrewd business man though. He was an entitled kid who didn't want to play for the loser Chargers . He's a football player
Phillip Rivers didn't cry about going to San Diego, he made himself a career.
Eli Cried... it wasn't a shrewd business decision because he would have made millions in San Diego . He didn't want to play for the chargers

Wow, loved that Smackdown main event. They gave Sami a lot of love featuring him tonight, and I hope he keeps the Helluva kick/Blue Thunder Bomb combo as his finisher.
Dude that blue thunder bomb he does is gorgeous
i didnt know much about him before he got to WWE but he is an excellent in ring worker

Mayfield is listed at OU at 6'1 220...

I want the bills to trade up and get Darnold regardless. The only safe way to do that is to get to #1. I’m tired of settling for scraps here abd hoping a draft goes a certain way. Go up and get the best guy for once. Not reach for some 4th round trash in round 1 like EJ. Actually get a good QB abd the best in a real class for once.
It really is debatable if Darnold will be a better QB than Rosen. Because as of today Rosen is the better QB hands down
you are drafting Darnold for 3 years down the road
You are hoping on Darnolds upside to kick in... because They both have good football IQs but Rosen has a better arm today

Vick was ahead of his time. He wasn’t meant for taking snaps under center. I’d say that Lamar is actually further ahead right now for being a pro prospect because the transition to the pros for a QB of his skill set is easier now that these college concepts are being used.
Aditionally, I think you are getting a much more mature and harder working player (Vick himself would probably admit that). I could see similar early success for Lamar based on these factors, but definitely a downgrade in talent...although still amazing.
If Lamar is willing to work harder than anybody on his team he has a shot.
champions are made when nobody is looking
by all accounts Vick was a very hard worker at Tech ... but he didn't translate that over once he started making millions

And earlier in the post to a question asked, I said a guy showing signs of immaturity at age 22 is not difficult to overcome IF that young man is sincere in his interest to grow up....also, Eli’s refusal to play for San Diego was a business decision based on his perceived fit with a team. But that was about who he wanted to play for, not about doing stupid childish things and then refusing to learn from them.
but you talked about being a gentleman.
Forcing a trade when a team is willing to make you the #1 pick is not gentlemanly... no matter what
it's an honor and I don't believe players have a right to call their shot.

You can’t say no one cares, otherwise you would never have heard of these stories because they wouldn’t be reported. More to the point is you don’t care....and that’s cool, America is a great place for differences of opinion. But, people like me do care - I don’t want a bloviating buffoon to be the QB of a team I love so much and support year-round.
I’m not asking him to be perfect or saintly, but Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Joe Flacco, Philip Rivers, are all guys that can do great work on the field and be a gentleman of integrity and good character. There are others like Russell Wilson and Dak thus far, it’s not asking too much for the QB to be a decent human being without the childish antics.
Eli refused to play for San Diego and forced a trade to NY
he wasn't high character at 22
Peyton also mooned a female PT at Tennessee unwanted ... if that was today there would be hell to pay
i could care less , but those are 2 instances of being immature and not gentlemanly for both manning brothers

Fromt the comments after hte article i read about it today, sounds like the girl is a complete nut job. Not that it is any defence for what may or may not have happened, but this may be one that turns out to be completely false based on the girls history/past....
Werent there rumors that he was already on thin ice with the company?
this could have been one of those things that pushed them over the edge whether he is guilty or not
There were rumors that he was on thin ice...
but who knows if that's kayfabe heat or real heat... maybe it was real

and let's say the Browns take Allen (I will almost guarantee you that Allen will wow everyone in the process).............
Would you want the Bills to trade up to 3 get either Rosen or Darnold? Even if the Bills get a good veteran QB?
I guess it Depends on the price...
but nothing that Allen does should sway any Scouts or GMs any further...
you cant raise a QBs grade because of a good combine... that's how you draft Blaine Gabberts of the world
Johnny Manziel had the best pro day ever... and did it in pads and helmet... didn't do nothing for him
Allen should be great in shorts and a T shirt... let's the browns take him and pass on much better QBs like Rosen and Darnold

.assessment MUCH appreciated bud......maybe I'm reading too much into it, but Beane personally scouted Rudolph twice, first at the WVU game and then his bowl game.....most accounts have him available mid to late 1st or even early 2nd.....wouldn't surprise me if he is Buffalo's safe yet perhaps unsexy pick at 21 or 22...they can then spend their preserved draft capital on OL/DL or DL/OL whichever is the preference versus moving up......................
got it done early for you bud

Michael Vick was probably the best athlete I've ever seen on a football field. Built like a RB, speed of a WR, arm of a QB. Lamar Jackson is also a great athlete but not built like Vick. A little taller and a lot skinnier. But the comparison is there. He's that "type" of player. Yes, probably better than Tyrod. If the OC wants to run that kind of offense and they draft Lamar (i HIGHLY doubt it) then they should keep Tyrod for another year as it would be a smooth transition
He's definitely that type of player. Electrifying
but a poor mans vick. Like you said, Vick was built, Lamar is skinnier
i also think vick playing under center gave him a big advantage adjusting to the NFL
But Lamar is extremely physically talented

1 minute ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said:
....don't get to see college ball so I've never seen him play......according to what I've read here and in the media, he sounds like an upscale TT........if so, would he fit with what you perceive Beane/McD/Daboll are looking for and planning the offensive scheme?.....
At his age he certainly is a rich mans TT in physical gifts
He is bigger, stronger, faster, stronger arm
But their accuracy levels are about the same, and they push the ball down the field about the same amount
If you like TT you will like Lamar. If you want a more nuanced pocket passer you will gravitate towards Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield, Allen or Rudolph

he's Michael Vick. you can take that as a good thing or a bad thing. at one point Vick was the first $100 mil man and was seen as perhaps one of the best players in the NFL. Lamar can have some good seasons at the pro level if you suit your offense to his strengths. he's not going to lead you down the field in the 2 min drill like a surgical pocket passer can but he will have some big plays in the game to keep things exciting
He's not Michael Vick though...
Michael had one of the crispest, sharpest overhand deliveries I have ever seen.
A howitzer attached to his left shoulder
Played under center, took 3-5-7 step drops , and was more accurate than his accuracy %
He also was the fastest player on the field till he was 30.
Lamar is good , but not #1 pick Michael Vick good. Vick was a much more nuanced passer

Every NT, regardless of height is going to have to play sound technique or he is gonna get his ass handed to him, regardless of his height. Height is simply not the concern you make it sound like it is. In fact, all things being equal between a 6'5" or a 6'3" NT, most coaches would prefer the taller player.
I don't agree that technique has undergone some grand evolution, either. Line play, since time began, is about leverage. Athletes and schemes have changed, but that's not the same thing.
I think your comparison to Branch is spot on. Vea can play any of the interior positions on the DL and his ability in that regard is what sets him apart.
I may make too much out of height
but the brand of football I was brought up On and the style of 34 defense i coach I prefer shorter NTs and longer DEs. I drool over 6'5 310 lb ends . Muhammad Wilkerson type
hes a great player and certainly versatile. It really is pointless to argue the height because it's not like he's 6'8
i just think he's probably a better fit in a 43 defense as a 1 technique

Eli and the Giants got hot twice at the end of the year and won it at 9-7.
Eli has never beaten San Diego
Phillip Rivers is still going to the HoF and has better stats than Manning. Think he's mad? No
as for Elway , still a punk , same with jim when he did it
entitled. The only one who has a valid excuse is Bo Jackson because the Bucs screwed him and made him lose his college eligibility in baseball
but these are all opinions... so
Go Bills!
