Yo..i can't with your evaluation of this guy, It's generally so off base. He is not as mobile as other QBs obviously, but there is plenty of film where he has either moved up in the pocket or ran out of the pocket, got rid of the ball, or made the following play after throwing an Int. or sacked good. Please stop with these non factual post about the guy. This has to be how it was when Brady first started out on forums such as this.
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😂

I thought the opposite. Pittsburgh scored on their last 3 possessions while Baltimore couldn't get anything going offensively in the 4th quarter. They also lost their top CB. Pittsburgh was at home and really feeding off the crowd, they certainly had more energy. I had no issues with the 2 pt attempt.
The reverse was true yesterday. They just stuffed GB on their last 2 possessions, while the Ravens marched down the field and scored on their last 2 drives. It really felt like GB was worn down and now Bal was taking over (with some help from the crowd).
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.

Since the OP was “favorite QBs”, I’m on the fence on Ferguson. He may be #3 when it comes to stats, but All those interceptions and then hanging his head walking off the field makes it hard for me to call him a favorite.I think I’m Allen over Kelly at this point because of the better attitude and relationship with teammates., plus his overall abilities.
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.

Yep, there is no doubt about it. Covid will have an influence in these final few weeks.
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.

It will get worse this week. League-wide. It is what it is.
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.

All three just placed on the Covid list.
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.

No way. AB was in the slot alot . I guess he can take over outside but it's a big loss for sure.
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.

I found it interesting when the broadcast team called Josh ‘a more mobile Rothlisberger’ when the guy he’s more like, Cam Newton, was playing in the same game.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.

Hate to see anyone get hurt. Hope he can make a full recovery. Looks like GB will have the #1 seed.
Not so sure. Antonio Brown comes back. That's going to offset the loss IMO.

He was benched because he puts the ball on the ground way too much as a returner… it why he was cut in Denver. The fumble TD against the Colts was laughably horrible. Don’t blame McD at all for benching him. Special teams turnovers are inexcusable.
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.

I was thinking this today and last week. The drop off between Lamar and Huntley hasn’t been anywhere near the level that I expected. I’ve even found myself watching Huntley play and thinking “Lamar doesn’t make that throw”.
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.

Is a 22 year old now considered a grown man?
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.

He didn’t look too much different from Lamar.
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.

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

Drew Lock is just an ass qb...
He's a pretty solid rapper, though.

Near the end of an up and down roller coaster season, the Bills are out of excuses with no wiggle room. All that can change with a win @cheats this upcoming week, and then control our destiny in the division. We were embarrassed the last time around, gashed in the run game against a limited passer in Jones.
Now it's time to curb stomp them and take back control of the East!
I believe now if we win, we would have the same record, so it goes to tie breaker. First tie breaker, head-to-head: tie we would be 1-1 against them. Second tie breaker, division record: Bills 4-1, Pats 3-2= Bills in the lead in division!
Let's Gooooooooo Buffalo give us the Christmas present we all really want!
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.

Should McKittrick Resume Returning Duties?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
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.
