Trae Young. The Hawks are actually playing pretty well the latter half of the season, but that may go down as a passing on Michael Jordan kind of move.

Josh Allen outduels Ryan Fitzpatrick
Dr. Who replied to Lieutenant Aldo Raine's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Josh is a fan of the old school standing buffalo. Not that I needed another reason to like the fella . . . -
Tyrod Taylor has 'nothing but love' for Buffalo
Dr. Who replied to wppete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think you're a little too salty about this. People often react in a sensitive manner when a cherished dream is threatened. I agree it was poor play, not anything ethnic, that was behind his benching, but I would cut Taylor some slack. It is the ever willing parasites in the media with an agenda that deserve complete contempt and disdain. -
Barnwell has Bills at 6 wins in 2019
Dr. Who replied to BillsfaninSB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I notice you don't dispute posting pictures of your feet on the internet ? -
Lot of folks think greatness overcomes impediments or they say, "Well, maybe not as great numbers, but he'd still be terrific." And because you can't disprove (or prove) a counter-factual, it's impossible to refute. I think fortune plays a large role in destiny. No one can anticipate exactly how an individual will react in different circumstances or project a freak injury. I am not convinced Mahomes would have experienced success here, though I lobbied for us to draft him. What we know: Mahomes was given a red-shirt year to learn, surrounded by excellent coaching and offensive personnel. We also know Allen was thought to need a redshirt year, was thrown into the fire with not much surrounding help. I think his performance was clearly improved after returning from injury. There's reason to be hopeful Allen will be a genuine franchise qb. Everything else is guesswork.

ESPN has Jets taking Josh Allen 3rd in 18' draft redo
Dr. Who replied to loyal2dagame's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That parrot keeps repeating the same tired inaccuracies in every Josh Allen thread. Normally he invites everyone to flame away. He might as well say Polly want a cracker. Nobody cares. -
Was Baker Mayfield a DOUCHE Yesterday?

Nice parable. Thanks for sharing. -
Bills hire Bobby Johnson as offensive line coach
Dr. Who replied to GimmeSomeProcess's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
McDermott needs to grow a beard so they all match. -
Enjoy your insights regarding potential draft picks. I pray you are doing well. I have suffered from dysthymia for decades, so I have compassion for and empathize with folks who struggle. I keep hearing that Dawkins would likely be a superlative LG. I'd like to get D. Williams for RT and Paradis or Morse, depending on scheme, for C.

Well, I don't know a damn thing about gymnastics, but I'd give that a ten, too.

And he got banned for doing it so aggressively. I also advocated strongly for Mahomes, but it's not a moot point that his success has been fostered by exceptional coaching, a redshirt year to sit and learn, and very good talent on the offensive side of the ball. I liked Allen before the draft and if Beane does this off-season what the Rams and Bears did for their young qbs in terms of significantly upgrading surrounding talent, I suspect the chagrin over passing on Mahomes will substantially disappear, because Allen certainly has the potential to be very good, critics notwithstanding.

Your opinion how the Bills will add to the Roster? (edited)
Dr. Who replied to njbuff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They might care about Brown quitting on the Steelers. He's proven to be disruptive to team chemistry. Maybe they don't care about personal business, but I think it goes against the notion of the team as a big family that they appear to be trying to instill. I agree about AJ, Julio and rb most likely in the draft. I like Josh Jacobs, btw. -
Then let's hope he is there at #9. Good to hear from you, btw. The other day I was just wondering what happened to you.

Right, even if you automated the system, there would have to be some kind of algorithm to select what constitutes information and that remains ultimately a human interpretive decision. The notion that technology can somehow evade the need for interpretation and thus the conflict of human differences is naive at best.

Dr. Who replied to njbuff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Antonio Brown would certainly constitute a big splash. He is the antithesis of a "process" guy and has bad history with Poyer, so highly doubtful that happens. I think Oline will be the free agent focus, as it should be. -
I have confidence McDermott knows D and that White and Edmunds are likely key pieces in building a top-tier defense. Mahomes has to score a lot, because the KC defense is likely to give up 35 points. If Allen turns into a more athletic Big Ben and the D is good, that's a recipe for post-season appearances and success.

I would go after Ja' Wuan James and Darryl Williams at RT. Paradis and Morse at Center. If we can fill those two positions in free agency, it gives us much more flexibility entering the draft.

The rhetoric of your question is just as liable to indicate significant bias -- and I like Mahomes and argued right up to the 2017 draft that we should take him. I'm also thrilled with Josh Allen. They may both end up being superlative qbs. Mahomes may regress, get better, maintain stellar play for years. Allen does not have the surrounding talent or likely coaching staff, given Reid's exceptional abilities. Projecting based on potential is all one can do after a rookie season which involved a subpar oline, injury, and very limited receiver, rb, and te talent. Is recognizing that "propping up" Josh?

Poll of NFL players on QB (was: rookie QB Roundup)
Dr. Who replied to Kemp's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's also more of a natural leader. He doesn't rub people the wrong way. In fact, he seems to inspire loyalty and effort and this as a raw rookie. -
I think Beane probably needs to use draft capital to somehow come away with two first rounders if he wants a shot at Jacobs. I really like him. One of the Alabama fellas here said he reminded him of a lesser Thurman Thomas. I just think we also need to come away with DL, OL, or WR as well in the first. If we somehow got Metcalf and Jacobs with some solid oline adds in free agency, this team looks a lot better. (Oh, and T. J. Hockenson, the other Iowa TE, would be nice later in the draft.)
