Allen, Mahomes, Reid, McDermott One of those four is not like the other three End of thread

Ferguson isn't worth mentioning with the exception of his ankle injury in 1980 playoffs. If he is healthy, that defense and Cribbs wins a SuperBowl over a weak Eagles team.

Kelly isn't even in the top 20 of NFL QBs For his era he was outside of the top 5, behind Montana, Elway, Aikman, Young, and Marino. Kelly was perfect for Buffalo and perfect for the Kgun. He was gutsy and could play in the cold playoff weather. Allen is better in every possible way. We are lucky to have two HOF QBs and Kemp was great for the city of Buffalo as well.

So in the Superman movie his clothes get burned off on the oil rig fire. But somehow his cape and suit are unharmed just as he is. Do they ever explain in the comics how it is that his suits are also impervious to bullets, fire, nuclear bombs, and such??? So in the Superman movie his clothes get burned off on the oil rig fire.

You can and I do enjoy watching him play. Part of the entertainment of the NFL is we can all be Monday morning GMs and HCs. We know enough and watch enough to have good entertaining discussions about the team personnel and the game strategy not just the performance. That isn't the same for MLB, NHL, or NBA. I hope people can enjoy this teams talent and level of success while also yearning for more. Honestly what hurts me more is not the playoff losses, but the season killing injuries to some of our best and favorite players. That has been far harder for me at least than the eventual playoff loss with McDermott.

Still too reckless with the ball but he makes up for it with his legs. He is the best QB in franchise history. He can still get better. I just hope he stays healthy enough to outlast McDermott's hold over Pegula.

For what it is worth I don't hate the Chiefs or their fans. I am jealous of them having a great coach. If we had Reid, Allen would have at least two rings, maybe more. You have a great coach. We have a great person who is a terrible coach who has robbed the Bills fanbase of at least two trips to the SuperBowl. Even with the Chiefs better roster, I beleive a more competent HC(I wanted Harbaugh and said so two years ago) doesn't allow 13 seconds to happen and doesn't get his defense abused repeatedly by Mahommes.

He's never going to be a top edge rusher. He would have shown that by now. But on the off chance he will then you can tag him. He has two years at a reasonable price to prove he is anything more than an average DE. The comp pick is just added bonus for not taking on another bloated contract for an average player. I assume you are happy they got an extra third round pick by letting Edmunds walk.

He is a good player. He is just not a good enough pass rusher. Davis is good too. But neither have shown enough to warrant long term investment. They can replace with cheaper talent two years from now. And if he explodes over the next 2 years then tag him.

He's worth picking up the 5th year option. He's not worth an extension Best case is probably a 4th round comp pick after that

Well we agree on one thing. SB victories is all that matter!

Hill was in the final year of his contract with only $1.45M in dead cap money. Clark had two years left so there was a significant dead cap hit there around $7M. However in both cases they got considerable draft picks back in return. At the time Mahommes cap hit was $35M. Allen's is going to be $47M. Diggs and Miler's dead cap hits for 2024 are $32M and $31M. Are you really saying you would take on over $60M in dead cap in one year by getting rid of these two players? Can you find another example where a team in a Championship window took on over $60 M in dead cap space? How did that retoolling workout for Favre and Rodgers? Best player of recent note was Davante Adams and they traded him on the tag. Again draft pcik compensation and no dead cap hit. You are talking about cutting multiple players with millions in dead cap with zero return. It's just not going to happen.

Except I really don't think you do. If you cut all those people you mentioned you are looking at tens of millions of dead cap money in one year. You still need to put together a 53 person roster and their are minimum spending numbers per season of real money. You think Allen would stay if they tanked an entire season? Would McDermott stay? Do you think the fans would put up with a purposeful nonplayoff season? What you are suggesting is absolute lunacy. When teams shed contacts it is because they are already terrible like Beane did in year 2 of this regime. No team in NFL history has ever tanked a season with a franchise QB. You can't be taken seriously posting stuff like this. Cutting even one of these guys with massive dead cap hits is untenable. We were two or three plays away from a Lombardi. We have ten draft picks. Even with McDermott they will compete for a SuperBowl with just a few roster tweaks. Now next year they can make some of the moves you suggest. The only decent player on his rookie contract that would be up for an extension would be Rousseau. And they can let him walk after his fifth year. He is nothing special. They will be able to walk away from Poyer, Diggs, Knox, Dawkins, and Miller after this upcoming season if they want to with or without some post June 1 designations. I'm not saying I agree with that but they become realistic options.

You don't know how the NFL works. I'm not trying to be mean but contracts just don't work that way in the NFL. Very few have large amounts of guaranteed money. So players agree to huge signing bonuses to get the most money up front. Teams add years to lessen the cap hit in the present. These dead cap hits only get worse if you cut the player early. And it's interesting the only player you didn't list who actually can and should be cut, but actually makes sense for both parties to agree to a paycut is White.

Herbert has Harbaugh now and Allen is held back by McDermott still.

It means that more than 50% of this board would have gotten rid of McDermott and gone with the new coach for 2024.

Has to be SuperBowl or bust for McDermott this year. He is rapidly running out of other people to blame. His Ballshat process and winning mentality nonsense has run its course. He's a loser coach with a HOF QB! Any barely competent HC could lose at home in division round two years in a row. Absolutely hate that this HC has cost us two legit chances at a Lombardi and has wasted the prime of Allen's career. In Allen we must trust!!!!!

Yeah those were good moves. I truly don't think any player 5th round or later is any better than an UDFA. I like the idea of trading out of those spots and picking up extra picks the following year. Trading out of the first round though is all about getting 4 guys in the top 100 instead of 3.

White and Beane need to have a man to man conversation. If White gets cut he will be lucky to get a PS offer sometime mid-season. If he takes a huge paycut, he still gets paid more than in free agency and has a chance to rehab and maybe make a transition to safety. A payout is win win. But if White won't agree then he needs to be cut. I just don't know if it is better now or after June 1

Has Beane ever traded down? I love the idea. I dont care about the fifth year option. Allen's window to win a SB may be closed 5 years from now. Trade down get a cheaper just as good of a player in the second round and an extra player in the third round. Love it. Two WR, Edge, and S or OT in top three rounds

Too bad we can't fire our DC again this year.

Thoughts and prayers and no discussion about gun regulation because it is too soon. So sad for a community that just wants to celebrate.

He’s under contract for next year. He played ok. Make him play on final year of contract. Then let him walk for a comp pick. He’s never going to be a LT. They can find someone else to play RT in 2025 much cheaper.

Shanahan made it to the SuperBowl with Brock Purdy McDermott can't get out of the divisional round with Josh Allen

I might have thought that two years ago. But I think he's done a solid job the last couple drafts. Honestly I blame McD for Elam not playing. Shocker I know that I blame McD. But Beane was right about Brown at RT and he did well all be it two season too late of fixing the OL. If Miller plays well this year and he finds a WR and an Edge that contributes immediately this off season it will be a huge success!!!
