Nice game but Allen needs to pass
BullBuchanan replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Of course. When he's great, he looks all-time elite, but he doesn't go there enough to offset the times where looks terrible. DO you want a QB like that? I don't. It makes it impossible to create a plan to win games on a consistent basis, because you never know what you're going to get. I'd rather have a guy that doesn't fly as high, but has a higher floor. Cam has had extremely talented teams around him with HOF talent and they constantly under-perform. -
I think the Jags could use the return on a Ramsey trade to help get them a QB. The Rams could make an interesting trade partner, as could the chiefs. I think he has to go to a team that's Super Bowl ready with a QB on a rookie deal. That way you could pay Ramsey the $20M/season he'll need while you ride out the cheap years of your rookie.

BullBuchanan replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not sure they're that different in their ability to win football games. Foles had one great year and so did Cam. They both look terrible sometimes, and Cam has this way of absolutely blowing it against teams he should crush. I just don't think Newton is a very good QB. He'll come out one week and look like an MVP, and then he can't complete obvious reads and easy passes. He's inconsistent in the worst ways. -

What success? And he was also the reason his team lost the Super Bowl. He isn't good enough. -

BullBuchanan replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well Cam has yet to have back to back winning seasons, and I don't think he's accomplished very much in this league for all of the talent that he has. I wouldn't want him on my team. -

Does it? -
Do you think they'd want 2018 Keenum at any price? They have cousins on a short-term deal at relatively fair market value. The Vikes won't have time to regret the deal. It's not like they gave him a Cutler deal. He was the only QB in the league that was available that could keep their Super Bowl window open. I'm sure they would have preferred Rodgers, but you can't always get what you want. Wouldn't be shocked at all to see the Vikes use a 1rst/2nd on a QB who ends up starting when Cousins deal is up, and that may have been the fallback all along. Even if the Jets got Cousins, they were probably taking Darnold too..

Josh Allen is all that matters
BullBuchanan replied to Wayne Arnold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Right, but is that really a skill? McDermott talked about NP's great command of the huddle, too. Unless your name is Billy Joe Hobert, I would expect every QB in the league to know the plays and be able to quickly call them. In my eyes it's kind of a "I thought we punted well" sort of statement about a player. -
If Zay or Robert Foster are anywhere near your fantasy team, you might as well bench the rest of your team, because you've already lost.

BullBuchanan replied to Wayne Arnold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What exactly would this person do day to day? If your GM can't handle whatever those responsibilities are, why are they your GM? What makes someone have a strong "command of the huddle" and how does that translate into winning football games? I've heard this everywhere regarding a ton of teams the last year, and virtually never before that. -
Good WaPo article on devaluing of RB position
BullBuchanan replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If he started playing today, he'd probably be a star. The league wasn't ready for him and tried to make him something he wasn't. kinda like Randall Cunningham. -

I don't think you know what a millennial is. -
Not guaranteed. If you listen to Bell's agent, which you should, the guaranteed money was the sticking point. NFL contracts are usually only in favor of the employer. They get to lock you in at the negotiated rate, even if you drastically outperform, and they can release you for little to no real cash commitment whenever they please. B they also have the ability to go after your signing bonus money if you're forced to retire because you got hurt on the job. If Bell gets a 5 year deal at $15m a year with high guaranteed money, in his mind that makes up for losing 14.5m this year. I get the argument from people on max value, but you also haven't shredded a knee with an annual value of $15-20m. Ask DeMarco Murray about his free agent payday.
-
Your one note anti-worker stance had been heard loud and clear. You've failed to make any other significant point to help your cause. The simple fact is that Bell is going to get a wheelbarrow full of money after the season, and whether it's jealousy or spite, you aren't happy about it. Cool. No one cares but you. You're also wrong on at least 3 different levels. Have a nice night

Start Josh Allen (healthy) or Matt Barkley?
BullBuchanan replied to TonyBeets's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Barkley. Allen looks good holding that clipboard. -
It's a shame there's a 0% chance that Tre is in the mix because his team has 3 wins. Gotta at least make the playoffs if you want individual honors in the NFL. Selfishly, it probably saves a few million on his next deal though.
-
Well, it sounds like you probably aren't in the top 3 in the world at what you do, or else they wouldn't risk firing you. Maybe you should focus on improving your skills? I've put the onus on management to pay me more a couple of times in my career. Once they didn't take me seriously and I signed a "free agent deal" elsewhere for max value. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't make it wrong. In fact, it's very very right. The money exists, and so someone's going to get it. Always look out for #1. http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2018/07/17/Le-Veon-Bell-Adisa-Bakari-Steelers-franchise-tag-running-back/stories/201807170123 The story above is why you don't go into research trying to prove a point, but trying to figure out what the real story is. need more info? About halfway through 2015.

Friend wants to go to a home game..... I ask why?
BullBuchanan replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I went to games all throughout the drought at the end of hopeless seasons when it was too cold and pointless for other family members to go. It was always a great idea. I don't remember quite a few of them, because those games were all about having a good time. One of those games was against the Jets and I was more excited to see Vinny Testaverde than the Bills. At least now you could watch some young players with hope, maybe even Allen. -
In your dream scenario that includes Belichick and McVay, you picked McDermott to be your D coordinator? I just... But why?
