  1. I'm always optimistic at the start of the season. This year I will only expect Buffalo to win 9 or more games is if Allen wins the job in preseason.  If Allen doesn't start I have little faith in the offense.  Neither McCarron or Peterman I see winning more games than losing.  Allen offers the best potential, the sooner he realizes/ reaches that potential the better the Bill's will be. 

  2. In most professions you cannot anoint a leader.  By making Allen the third QB he will have to out perform the other QBs.  They want to see how he does in the game.  Is he Lamar Jackson?  Or Deshaun Watson last year?  Practice is one thing but how do you handle yourself when the intensity is higher?  If Allen shines he becomes a real threat and favorite to start sooner rather than later.  If he falters they keep the same course and try to improve each week.

    I don't know why, but I have a gut feeling that Allen turns it on in the second half on Thursday. Because he's been working with the 3s, he's getting chemistry and he's playing against a worse defense.

    This.  Add in it's the same defense he has faced all camp.  McCarron and or Peterman struggle against a very good Carolina defense. Allen has some chemistry with Foster Proehl, Mcloud, has the best stat sheet and highlight throws.  They want a Qb to earn it on the field.  I expect Allen to do that and then it becomes difficult to not play the guy with more talent when he is more productive.

    How come the best the Browns could do was a 7th for him?

    Same reason Buffalo got a 4th for Ragland, a 6th for Daures.  New regime getting rid of top picks from the previous regime that so far haven't materialized.  Never a bad idea taking flyers on first rounders still on their rookie deal.  Injuries and poor qb play.  At worst he is what Goodwin was, at best he could be Brandin Cooks.  When Allen eventually takes over they now have a guy who can run under Allen's moonshots.

  5. We will know more Thursday night.  Imo the fix is in.  It's being set up for Allen.  He is basically getting all the reps with the guys he will play with Thursday.  Similar defense that he faces daily.  Second half single high safety man or zone not much blitzing.  I expect Allen to have the best stat sheet and highlights.  That happens he splits first team reps next week.

    The Whosdaq is back! 

     

    Today’s prices:

     AJ $45

    Nate $33

    Josh $22

    McCarron was the least impressive Qb in the spring.  Peterman was dumpster fire as rookie.  He ultimately threw the season ending Int the last time he played.  This is even money.  Vegas probably would have Allen as the favorite.  

  7. Until he proves it on field he will always have detractors.  Time will tell.  Basically, you have the analytic marvel with Mayfiled and the prototype Qb prospect in Allen.  We shall she how this plays out.  Right now he has said and done all the right things in Buffalo.  Personally, I think and hope Allen becomes the starter in camp and he never looks back.

    I bet the other 31 GMs are laughing over this deal by the Rams right now.  It will be a cautionary tale, not a "market setter".

    I disagree.  Bell in FA gets 3 years 50 all guaranteed.  Zeke will get more than Gurley.  RBs will be the first position at the top to take 1 or 2 years less for more guaranteed money.  Gurley's deal is pretty much 3 years 45 mil.  

  9. To be worst I feel high expectations needed to be had.  Todd Collins was god awful and suppose replacement for Kelly.  Troup because only the 2000's Bill's could pass on drafting local boy Rob Gronkoski.

    I kinda had Justin Rogers pencilled in there tbh.

    He played like a rookie 7th rd pick.  When late rd picks play as rookies they are what they are IMO.

  10. Seems like they broke up he wants her out of his house.  Got lawyers involved and a day before a court hearing this surfaced ?.  With what happened in Philly a few years back McCoy will get a game or 2.  Regaurdless of facts.  I would talk to Cleveland about Duke Johnson or look into finding an all purpose back as insurance.   I don't really believe the allegations because of the circumstances but in today's NFL guilty until proven more guilty.

  11. He is incredibly talented.  Comes down to what kind of kid he is.  Poor academics are one thing.  Is there any other off the field things?  Can learn an NFL defensive scheme?  For a 3rd with Buffalo holding 2 4ths I think it's a reasonable gamble.  I expect multiple teams put in picks for him, comes down to rd and positioning.
