Will Gladney from Ithaca. He went to my high school and comes from a good family- incredible story. Just want him to get his shot.

2020 NFL Draft Round 2 and 3 Discussion.

Here’s my reply in the Allen thread: “I hope they saw something special. Make or break time. Just have to trust the process now and see what happens.“ Some interesting background on this draft day: my house had flooded a week before the draft- a pipe burst in my kitchen upstairs while I was visiting my in-laws, and we lost half the house with the water falling to the first floor. We lived with my parents for about a week before moving into a hotel for 6 weeks- we checked into the hotel the day of the draft. After getting my family into the room, I went downstairs for a beer and sat with 6 businessmen in the lobby watching the draft. It was surreal as hell- they were mostly giants and jets fans and I think they were more excited for me than I was, but I think I was just so exhausted to be pumped. My initial reaction when I typed that was not “ I hope he doesn’t suck” but more “I hope we finally found the one”. I probably would have said that about any QB Glad to say i came around pretty quickly... it was some time after all the craziness of life had settled down. I worked my normal job and spent my evenings hanging drywall and redoing most of my house with my dad. Later that year I took him to a preseason game as thanks to watch Josh in action for the first time against the panthers. I chose a preseason game because he’s not into huge crowds... and there had to be at least 50k people there that night hahaha. Maybe that’s why I like Josh so much now- I needed someone to cheer for and he was the chosen one. I think time will tell, but he might be something special after all.

Will Gladney, WR Ithaca He played for my high school, and played for 4 years at IC. He just participated in an 8 man pro day at Rochester, and set school records for receiving yards and TDs this year. He’s 6’3”. Had a slower 40 time but he’s definitely a competitor and had a very interesting journey to where he is now. https://www.pressconnects.com/story/sports/2020/04/07/owego-grad-gladney-participates-pro-day-workout-ahead-nfl-draft-ithaca-college/2957010001/ here’s a bit more about his story. https://theithacan.org/sports/will-gladney/ I would love to see him get his shot. Either as a day 3 pick or UDFA.

The ego between the three headed dragons in NE are too proud to do something like that. Tom wanted to show he didn’t need Old Billy to be a winner. Bill wants to prove (again) that he’s the mastermind in NE and doesn’t need Brady to win. Kraft wants to find some comfort in both being able to win and seeing Tom at massage parlors in FL

Dalton please. Already a beloved QB who got us to the playoffs once lol

Sammy Watkins, while an amazing talent in college, did not live up to his draft status. He was an unknown commodity. Diggs has been doing his thing and is proven on An NFL talent level. We gave up far less to get someone known to do what we need than to take a shot (even if everyone believed he was a sure thing, nothing is for certain until he plays at that level)

Brady says he will be playing in next years Super Bowl
KingBoots8 replied to ALLEN1QB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know they let “female dogs” play in the puppy bowl, but I don’t think he meets some of the requirements lol -

Eli Manning: Will He Get Into Canton?
KingBoots8 replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As someone else said, he’d get in eventually with a different last name. Because he is a Manning and he played for a large market team I think that boosts him in early, maybe first ballot. I think he deserves to go but I don’t think year 1 is deserving but that’s whatever -
11 Year old Bills fan Luca Calanni passed away
KingBoots8 replied to Gambit's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seeing stuff like this just breaks me. I’ve got a 5 year old with the flu as I type this and I just can’t imagine... if there’s an afterlife, I hope the first thing this kid hears when he arrives is something like “Viva Los Bills, Amigo! Come pull up a chair and let’s talk about this season.” -
A Haters Guide for Rooting for Remaining Teams
KingBoots8 replied to KingBoots8's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, today’s game brought a smile to my face ...still cheering for the NFC team lol -
I know the 19 points stings, but remember we had some questionable calls that interferes significantly with that. The TD that wasn’t to start the 2nd half, the phantom block on Ford, the delay of game, the intentional grounding, and etc. we’d have had more if we were not robbed of the opportunities each time.

We need a strong power RB next year...Henry/Lynch type.
KingBoots8 replied to pgrace245's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the O-line definitely made progress this year as the season went on. Morse and Dawkins are going to hold it together, and Feliciano is absolutely worth keeping around. Ford won’t go anywhere and it was his rookie season- though he may move inside. I wouldn’t mind bringing Spain back but can understand if they let him test the waters. Aside from a WR and DE, I think adding another RT via draft or free agency isn’t the worst idea, though we have Ty Nsekhe back and LaAdrian Waddle should be healed up too, so we have another piece we aren’t even sure of from this past year. -

They’d be insane to not tag Henry. As interesting a scenario, it’s nearly impossible to get him. -

Titans are playing with some swagger. I’ll admit they’re exciting to watch (aka Derrick is) I think SF is due for one the more I think on it. Hope they keep the momentum -
