Which is why the Browns are what they are.

Dorsey picked Haley, not Jackson. And if you think Jackson was the sole reason the Browns suck, there's nothing more I can say because you clearly don't know a thing about that franchise since it came back into the NFL. I wasn't making an argument, I was stating an opinion. You do know the difference, don't you, Junior?

Sure, play him. Why not? He's never going to be anything more than what he's always been, which is NOT an NFL QB. Let's just get the team through the season.

I actually do follow the Browns (they were my childhood team, before the AFL) and my daughter and son-in-law are season ticket holder fanatics. My post was about who I'd take right now as the Bills HC and I most definitely believe Jackson would be way better than McDermott. Doesn't mean I'd vote him into the HOF or even hire him going forward, but I do believe he's a ton better than what we're stuck with in Buffalo.

You're correct, but those aren't the things that impressed me. This was a national game, in the Bay Area, with a ton of interest from fans and media, and yet the kid, an undrafted FA, was calm, collected and in control like a 5 year pro.The moment definitely wasn't too big for him. That's huge. He continually made good "reads," made quick decisions, got the ball out of his hand in a hurry -- and to the right guy. He consistently threw his runners open. And, best of all, he was very accurate. With receivers who he's probably had very little practice time with. Now compare him to Josh Allen or Nathan Peterman who can do none of those things. That a GM can find a third string QB basically for free, who can come off the bench and perform the way he did has to cause even the most pro McBeane fans around here to question their talent/intelligence/ability. And if they don't have the ability to get the QB position right, I have to wonder if they can get the rest of the team right.

I think Beane and McDermott have proven they don't have a clue when it comes to evaluating QBs.

This is precisely the "dereliction of duty" by Beane and McDermott that still muddles my head. How in the world do you go with a second year QB who obviously is horrible, with a rookie even his deepest admirers admitted was a long-term project and consider you've got the QB situation under control? Their mishandling of this one situation really undermined any remaining faith I had in their abilities as GM and HC. I know you're being funny but right now it looks like that would have been the smart thing to do.

I'd take him over McClappy in a second, and I'd give him authority over the "grocery list." Jackson's problems in Cleveland were 99% the fault of the ownership and management, compounded by an over-reliance on analytics. And screw Hard Knocks. Media whores succeed on that show, guys like Rex.

Thanks for the laughs. Boy, did I need it.

It says something and not something good, that an unemployed bust like Barkley is an actual upgrade over every other QB on the roster. Oh my hip-hopping Christ.

Four of the nine teams you cite were set at QB (Tenn, SD, Cin, Car.), three are historically inept at evaluating QBs (Chi, Jets, Cleve) and one is like the Bills, 20 years behind the reality of today's NFL so foolishly overvalued the RB position (Jax). As for SF, who knows?

Priority #1, sign an NFL-ready QB who is NOT a project, who doesn't have accuracy issues. That alone will improve the Oline and the WRs.

He's been signed according to the Bills website: https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-add-wr-terrelle-pryor

Anyone know who's the back up QB for Peterman? Because I doubt he's going to make it through the game, and I mean physically.

Yeah, but Beane's such a screw up, it would probably be Woody and Richard.

I'd take any of them over these Bills.

Of course they did. Everyone but McBeane and a few dead-enders around here know that.

They said Allen was their top QB.

Unless the Bills have decided to tank it, it makes sense. Peterman's no good, Allen's hurt and in over his head and I wouldn't be shocked if Anderson retires Tuesday morning. I don't think TT will happen though.

Suckered the Bills...again.

Number one priority is an NFL level QB. Not that Beane et al have shown any sign they know what one is.

Because McBeane are running things.

When it was reported that McBeane and their hand-picked scouting staff had identified Josh Allen as the top QB in the draft, the guy they'd take even with the Number One overall pick, my confidence in their ability to professionally judge offensive talent plummeted. I mean, really, the top QB? Then, their continuing inability to properly identify offensive talent at WR confirmed (for me at least) that they were in way over their heads. I also scratch my head over their propensity to give every available Carolina rum dumb a contract, the failure to shore up the QB position with a vet heading into what was going to be a red shirt year, the supposed insistence on a fundamentalist Christian locker room, the foolish running up of the salary cap debt...all of this undermines any support I might have once had that these guys.

I'm not sure, I'll have to watch the tape first.

Why do you care about his salary? Are you paying it?
