Chaos

You have clearly never played competitive darts.

Signing Cooper as a free agent would have a pretty big cascade effect on the rest of the Bills off-season plans. If the BPA on the board when the Bills pick happened to be a WR, the Bills could go overnight from having one of the weakest sets of WR's in the league to one of the strongest. This would seemingly allow the Bills to definitively determine if the Allen can be a top 10 QB in terms of actual production. If the BPA is not a WR, then the Bills can would have no positions of huge need, and could truly take the BPA to improve the team. In fact, the team is strong enough, the Bills could go BPA in every single round. Playmaker is the only glaring need, and Cooper addresses that.

I am perplexed by people evaluating real draft decisions in the context of popular selections in mock drafts. I believe the level of information available to GM's is a magnitude greater than the level of information available to sports writers and sportscasters. It is also clear over time that some GMs are consistently better at drafting than other GMs. It seems common for people to defend questionable draft decisions with "everyone expected so and so to go even higher, so you can't fault GM x for the decision". My view is always not only don't we know what "everyone" thinks, we don't even know what anyone who matters (people putting boards together for NFL teams) thinks. Would people think a documentary on how each teams draft boards were put together 20 years (before any current GMs were drafting) to see the range of variation would be interesting? (maybe something like that already exists)

Josh Allen is a good QB now. He will be even better in the future. I hope this clears things up for everyone.

Accordng to this ranknig both Oliver and Ford under performed their draft position.

thought this thread was going to be an exmplanation of why it was good the bills missed the playoffs for 20 years

What Div 2 school did Mack play for?

I think we should do whatever it takes to get him, maybe a Sammy Watkins trade up type maneuver.

This threads should all have an auto reply. When the players are cut, the reply should say "red flag, they are being cut, stay away, they suck". Then if the Bills sign them it should update to "Beane knows free agents, this is another piece to the Super Bowl puzzle"

Brady's wife earned 50 million per year at her peak. That probably had some impact on Brady's analysis, which too date remains unique.

The bolded part is why the NBA has nothing similar to the parity concept. Introducing that to the NFL would like ruin the league forever for teams like the Bills.

A cap on the highest individual salary is a completely separate variable from the owners getting richer. Conceptually the salary floor and total payroll cap dictate how much is left for the owners. An individual cap actually disrupts competitive balance. For example If the Indvidual cap was 20 mm and mahomes and dak Prescott both make 20 that is a huge advantage to the chiefs.

. As it turns out, people who have measurable accomplishments have more to defend, the politicians who have simply built a resume by winning elections and showing up (or if they lose, having a buddy appoint them to another resume line item job). Those that have done little or nothing have nothing to defend.

This post is moronic.

I have often wondered how important Jerry Rice was to Joe Montana and Steve Young. Not many teams have back to back HOF QBs. Both were great QBs, but Rice is arguably the best ever at his position.

The stupid is strong in this thread.

Kind of impossible. Ravens get two agains the bengals. Whereas the bengals get two against ravens.

Bills fans are so scarred from having dismal drafts that a middle of the pack draft feels like something that only a football Einstein could ever pull together. I think that main think to note is most teams have decent drafts.

Natural is overrated. Crapping indoors isn't natural either. But its been a pretty good thing for improving civilization.

feel free to argue on the use of the word "most" but combine co-habitation with half of marriages ending and divorce (and talk to some twenty somethings) and you will realize that getting married is considered something to "see if it works out", not "something we have to make work". I wish it weren't so.

Since the 1970's the majority of marriages have been temporary. Today's young people don't even have a notion of marriage being a big commitment. It wasn't for their parents or their grandparents generation at this point. They are following our actions.

I thought both of Mahomes very bad interceptions counted as interceptions in the super bowl. Mahomes had some very head scratching plays in that game.

His stats suggest his 2019 season was fairly good. If he were to repeat those stats, decent chance he could end up in the super bowl.

To me, the best NFL stats are situational stats. For example. An RB averaging 5 yards on third and 10, and average 3 yards on first and ten then an RB who averages 4.5 yards per carrying in both of those situations. Stats are very important, but in the NFL, the infamous "eye test" does have a bearing on the review. The stat I want to see is "drive-killing drops." All drops suck, but if a pass-catcher drops a check down at the line of scrimmage on first and 10, that is far less frustrating to see than a player dropping a well-thrown ball 15 yards up the field on 3rd and 10. The second instance is nearly as bad as a turnover. Does anyone know if such a stat is tracked by PFF or someone else?

love Josh Allen. Think he will be great. Patrick Mahomes will also be great The super bowl was not the best I have seen Mahomes play. Regarding "has more weapons". Kelce and Watkins both made plays in that game that kept drives alive that no bills receiver would have made. Mahome consisently through behind Kelce, whose ability to adjust is amazing. Three drive saving plays is a huge number in a game.
