No, not likely. But happy the kid will get an opportunity. What he does with it remains to be seen...but at least he gets a much higher paycheck and perhaps sets himself up for a full time backup job. Best of luck to the kid.

Yes, then they are resigned. And for the most part they are cut and told they are being brought back. Not like he was just outright released.

This is NOT going to be a popular assessment on this board...but I think it's about as fair as I can see it. When he first led the Pats to a Super Bowl and beat the "Greatest Show of Turf"...I was glad to see it. Truth be hold, that was the story every young boy pretended to play out on their back yards when playing football. Unheralded and unknown young QB taking over for an injured Pro Bowl QB, leading a mostly pathetic franchise to a World Championship. Seeing it played out at the time was one of the greatest sports stories ever told. But then he won again. And he kept winning. People got sick of it (and some of that was simple jealousy it wasn't their team doing it). People got sick of seeing the 90s Bills for somewhat the same reason. The "Them AGAIN?!?!" feeling. I used to hate Brady. Truth is...it's not his fault that Buffalo couldn't field a competitive team for 20 years. He didn't hire Dick Jauron, Chan Gailey, Malarkey, Marrone, Rex. Tom Brady didn't draft EJ Manual, JP Losman, Trent Edwards. I can say I have actually enjoyed watching him in Tampa. Cycle forward to Mac Jones. Are there similarities? I think so. Are they "the same"? Not at all. Mac is, right now very good at playing "Patriot Ball". Play within what McDaniels asks him to do. He's a good kid, seems very smart with a plus football IQ. He doesn't have Josh Allen's arm...but he doesn't need to. He is not spectacular. He may or may not turn into that guy. It's likely he walks away this year with the RoY. What happens in years 2, 3, 4 remains to be seen. He has some potential to be really solid. Could also make a case that like Baker Mayfield he was already close to his ceiling as a QB. That's why we keep tuning in. To see what happens next. Me? I'm not afraid of competition. The whole "iron sharpens iron" philosophy. So a Patriot team that can keep the Bills from getting complacent is a good thing in my view....just have to hope our guys win the majority😂

Valid points as well. With both I think I'm more ok with them going for it if they had a more practical play called. Trusting Lamar's arm in the 1st is a "Meh" call IMO. Just like rolling Huntley out and limiting him to half a field. Didn't play into either's strong suits.

For men, Fergy was a favorite because he was the QB when I was old enough to really umderstand football and be a Bills fan. It's more a sentimental choice. Those teams back then...with Cribbs, Butler, Lewis, Smerlas, Haslett hold a special place for me.

This week I could almost see the logic of liking his chances better to convert a short yardage play VS playing Rodgers in OT...if ot goes to OT. 42 seconds and a TO...Rodgers could work with that. Last week in a lower scoring game and you have Justin Tucker...odds are probably better at stopping Ben and kicking a long game winner. In both games I don't think Roman called a very good play.

Agree. That's way even games at home against Atlanta and the Jets are far from stone cold locks. Someone is gonna be nipped at the end because of being short manned. May be happening to Cleveland tonight.

Agree...and much worse after everyone goes home for Christmas this week.

What's weird to me is that it seems teams have an almost perfect record when their Head Coach are on COVID lost and can't coach. Seems pretty fishy to me.

So far it's no one that's we can't live without (however speedy recovery wished for all!) Hope it doesn't get worse this week... The NFL in general just put pretty much 70% of fantasy relevant players in the last today. This is spiraling fast.

It's not a direct player for player replacement, however the productivity of Brown offsets the loss. 6 catches for 90 yards and a TD all moves the offense the same no matter where it comes from.

He's way more athelitic than Ben. Much better passer than Cam ever was. My favorite comparison for Josh has always been a larger John Elway.

Not so sure. Antonio Brown comes back. That's going to offset the loss IMO.

So, he was benched because he fumbled once and...what...3 years ago in Denver for the Broncos? Also, we signed him off the practice squad.

No. My line of thinking is that Stevenson should be adaquit in a league that has made the return game a moot point 90% of the time. McKenzie could be better utilized with some snaps on offense and helping the offense move the ball. In a tight game when we may need that big return possibility I am not opposed to subbing him in for a possible big play. But I'd really limit his ST snaps to keep him fresh for offense.

Huntley is playing within that offense and making the smart throw. Lamar doesn't do that. Just thinking out loud but what would field the better and more competitive team? A) Lamar Jackson B) Huntley + $35M(ish) cap space + the boatload of high draft picks some team would gladly fork over for Lamar. Could easily see some team like Carolina, Washington, Detroit or even Seattle if they part ways with Wilson paying a hefty price to get Lamar.

Since we are isolating things based on age and not the person, how many 22 years olds were on the beaches of Normandy? So I guess in your mind 22=old enough to die for a country....not old enough to be treated like an adult.

One is a former 1st round pick with an MVP 🏆 on his shelf. The other is a former undrafted FA. One is about to hit a $35-40M dollar a year payday. The fact they looked the same and competed at the same high level is exactly the point.

Impressive game from Huntley. Kid has that "it" factor.

Harbaugh😂😂😂😂

Doable. Tenn hasn't been the same without Henry.

Bojo doing Bojo things

He's a pretty solid rapper, though.

Huntley is a warrior.

Here's something fun to ponder. If Buffalo and Miami win out, New England would finish 3rd in the division and likely miss the playoffs entirely.
