I was a fan of the original BBMB, too. But with mostly all the same posters here (save a handful after the great split of 2020... oh how I miss you @Foxx) it was an easy transition. A thanks to everyone for welcoming us in. What year did BBMB close anyway? Gotta be over a decade at this point

No he doesn't. We're all going to be disgusted if Josh doesn't win a Super Bowl, let alone win one. However, I think 2 more years of the typical seasons he's had for the last 5 years makes him a shoe-in 1st ballot HOFer... Super Bowl or not. And truthfully, I think if his career ended tomorrow (God forbid!!!) he'd still get in, but maybe not 1st ballot. My argument? Find a QB in NFL history who even comes close to the 5 consecutive year stretch Josh just had.

I like this idea. One difficult thing to me is separating QB from situation. Are we ranking these guys in a vacuum? Tua in a Bruce Arians style offense might be bottom of the league while I think Allen would genuinely be able to operate at an excellent to Elite level in any offense. I'm going to do my ranking in a vacuum, which I think is more interesting: I'm also not doing 32. I'm not going to do rookies or 1st year players. Where would RG3 have ranked after 2012 vs where he ended up overall? So I guess I'm trying to treat this more holistically vs just last year. 1. Allen (I think he's been the best NFL QB for a few years now) 2. Mahomes 3. Stafford (this one's biased. 2022 version I feel better) 4. Baker (He balls at every stop no matter the situation) 5. Herbert 6. Lamar 7. Burrow (openly hates being under Center... he's scheme specific) 8 Goff 9. Dak (probably underrated and should be higher) 10. Hurts 11. Darnold 12. Stroud (overrated) 13. Purdy 14. Geno. 15. Fields (I really kinda want to put him higher) 16. Tua 17. Lawrence (so overrated) 18. Richardson/Dimes 19. Young 20. Flacco 21. Rodgers 22. Russell Wilson

No they aren't. Prior to Keon's injury he was on pace for 800 yards and looked like a promising rookie. I think Joe Marino did a podcast recently outlining Coleman's pre injury stats compared with all the other rookies and he was top 3-5 by almost all metrics. Nothing wrong with high expectations for him.

Number needs to go at least 6 digits for me.

Fred Jackson. I only have 2 jerseys in my wardrobe: Fred Jackson and Josh Allen. I would swap James Cook with prime Fred Jackson in a heartbeat to play with Josh and this Bills team.

Dude just got married in California. One would think he'd be forgiven for missing a week of voluntary workouts. I think he's there but maybe just not tomorrow and they're saving the honeymoon for after mandatory minicamp.

Legitimately happy for Josh. It's weird to feel so personally happy for someone I'll never meet or talk to, but somehow he's earned it. As a tangent, The Ringer (I think that's the one) did a podcast on our (Bills fans) love affair with JA17. It's called "There’s Something About Josh Allen." Go listen to it if you haven't. It's hilariously true.

I agree to an extent. In the end we haven't won the Super Bowl. But let's be honest about something here... Josh Allen is already a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. He's earned that status with what I bet will be looked back on as maybe the best 5 consecutive years a QB has ever played individually. No matter what happens in terms of team success for the Bills, we're incredibly lucky to have a generational talent who also happens to be an incredible person as the Face of our Franchise and the guy who largely is responsible for our new stadium being built.

Way to go Dion!

I will watch it and love it while I'm watching. I also hate this.

The Buffalo Plus folks said this was the rumor today. Sounded like they had sources.

I'm guessing you've never watched Barry. He's NoHo Hank and I'll never be able to get it out of my head when I see him.

Ummm... he's #31 though
