If so it's a guarantee he never makes the roster. They didn't retire Reuben Gant's number?

Why get someone who reminds you of Mike Glennon or Paxton Lynch or Brock Osweiler when you can probably get the real thing(s) pretty cheap?

I know, but I still think it's a pretty cool. I'm a big Tommy Lee fan.

I have no idea what kind of money he's made, but FWIW Tommy Lee Jones (Al Gore's roommate) played running back for Harvard. He was in the famous "Harvard Wins 29-29" game against Yale. I know, he "hit it big on something else," but still...

What makes the NE offense work, besides Brady's accuracy, is that he gets rid of the ball faster than the defense can fill in where his receivers are settling underneath (= quick reads, quick decision making, quick release). Serious question: can Allen do all that?

Here's what I'm hoping: someone out there loves Haskins and he slips to #9. The Bills trade back to someplace in the high teens plus a not late third or a late second.

I notice that his home field at Wyoming was named War Memorial Stadium. How perfect is that?

Help me out because I'm only following on Gamecenter. Is the wind really bad today?

Isn't Clint Frazier still in CP? We're only talking about 6 weeks for a non-playoff team and they say he mentors JA. He's as good as anyone else to run the scout team at #3.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Bills are in line for a supplemental 3rd round pick if he lasts to the end of his contract and then signs elsewhere. 'Course with all that cap room the Bills are likely to sign more FA's than they lose so they wouldn't get supp picks anyway.

Could this be the opening Conor McDermott has been waiting for? And he's already on the roster!

And just watch, that 7th rounder Cleveland will pick is going to the HOF. Ahead of Matt Barkley. Seriously folks . . .

Already cut this year by NE and SF. Any insights on why? Is he just that bad?

At least 85% of our third-and-longs (let's say 7 or more to go) will be screen passes or flares. At least 65% of our third downs will be third and longs. Josh Allen will not start until at least the Titans game. If the Titans have a decent pass rush he won't start then either. The defense will be decent but will wilt in second halfs. Tremaine Edmunds will be Defensive ROY. He'll overrun everything in sight in September but by December 1 he'll be a stud. Corey Bojorquez will be in the NFL top 5 for gross punting average most of the season but will tail off in December when the home game winds and cold get to him.

Actually, Eli did NOT start until later in his rookie year. The Giants started what they thought was a washed-up Kurt Warner until Eli was ready for NFL speed AND their O-line had "gelled" enough to protect him a little. (They let Warner go and he went to the Super Bowl with AZ.) The Giants did the same thing with Joe Pisarcik and Phil Simms in Simms' rookie year.

Why did he make your list?

I vote no but not because of Allen or his skills -- it's because of the O-line. There's no point in making him a tackling dummy.

NFL Network carried the Browns' feed. Play-by-play was Somebody Crawford and color was Tim Couch. They were both terrible. Another example: before the commercial, "you don't see OPI three times in a season." After the commercial: "they'll call that [OPI] every time."

You may be right but I have a feeling it's as simple as both signed when they reported to camp and the Browns reported a day before the Bills. I think Allen was going to sign when he checked in and the language had already been worked out. (I also believe agents talk and Allen's and Mayfield's respective people had a good idea what was in the other one's contract before either signed.) But on Darnold, living here in NJ I've been reading more in the local stuff about Darnold isn't ready yet, Darnold doesn't process all that quickly, Darnold doesn't protect the ball, Darnold needs a lot of grooming, etc., etc., etc. It may all be smokescreen since he hasn't signed but it makes me wonder about all that Draft Day crap about the guy fairly glows in the dark with a football in his hand.

Only if the D is historically awesome which is a lot to ask. Questionable O line and receivers, no reliable speed guy, unsettled QB position -- don't plan on scoring a lot of points this year with everyone loading the box against Shady. I agree on good coaching and youthful energy and I feel good about 2nd place, but seriously . . . division champs?

I remember this one. I think it was Ahmad Rashad's first game as a Bill and he undressed a Raider CB for a TD. Wasn't the Denver turnaround game also on MNF? I should read to the end before I post.

I worry about the progress of the O line. If these guys can't pass block, there's no reason for Allen to be the QB who gets sacrificed. Look at what happened to David Carr.

It always bothers me that a few days of combine can be so much more important that 2 or 3 years of game film.

Uh, check your sarcasm filter my friend.

This is exactly what I was thinking scrolling through the posts. Thanks -- now I can stop reading.
