It’s tough to judge between the eras because QB play has improved so much that there aren’t the big play INT totals to measure. So it’s more of a case of locking guys down and not giving up catches in man coverage Anyhow, I’m 50 and Nate Odomes was the first great one that I saw play for the Bills. I think he was a solid combination of shutdown and big plays

Colts!

You know, I really don't care much if the biggest guy on my DL, who we absolutely freaking need to help make our run defense better, is much of a pass rusher. Ted Washington didn't get many sacks and he was OK at the job

Frank Reich went from coaching for one of the best owners in the game to two of the absolute worst. Hope he’s learned his lesson

DeWayne Carter = Adolphus Washington

Bring back Marv Albert

What about all those fans in the front row at Gillette that he politely requested to provide *****??

If we ever draft some guys that can actually shine in their rookie years (which seems to be the exception on our team), we could have an amazing roster

What are Jake Kumerow, Duke Williams, Reggie Germany, Kamil Loud, Justin Hunter, and Jonathan Smith up to?

I think they're slow playing it with Benford. With all of the concussions, it would not surprise me at all if they don't do anything with him this offseason Let it play out before you go forking over big bucks - it's not like the price is going to go up THAT much by waiting another year to see if he stays healthy and productive And it's really a similar story with Rousseau, minus the concussion issues

You should have seen this board in the aftermath of that '99 playoff loss

Unfortunately, a lot of the arguments the OP made sound like the Tremaine Edmunds decision all over again. I don't like the thought of giving out 2nd contracts based on OK-to-good performance plus "growth potential" He's had 4 seasons to show what he's got, and he hasn't yet been "great", which is really what you want and need if you're going to spend the big $$ on DE I see very little down side to allowing Rousseau to effectively bet on himself during his upcoming 5th year If he's amazing, you're happy to pay him top dollar If he's just more of what we've seen so far, you swallow your pride, let him go in free agency, recoup a comp pick, and you have more bites at the apple

It makes me miss the old halfback dive plays though. I get it that the defenders are a lot bigger and quicker than they were 35 years ago, but man I loved watching Robb Riddick and his 80 inch shoulder pads leap over the goal line in ‘88

If he went to the Pittsburgh, the yinzers would say that he's "warshed up"

He can’t be worse than Andrew Dice Clay or Steven Seagal

Josh would have to have the first 6000 yard passing season with another 15 rushing TD's to equal or surpass what OJ did in 1973

Jesus H Christ, better draft his replacement this year. SMFH

This is the time of the year when all the tinfoil hats get polished up for another round of Madden GM mode

You can't have depth corners on your team that don't play special teams We already have one of those in Elam, unfortunately

Honestly, if I were the Jags, I'd hop all over this opportunity. Somebody wants your underwhelming, uninspiring QB on a big fat 2nd contract? All while you won like 4 games last year and starting over with a new GM & coach? Yes, you're gonna eat a lot of dead cap, but might as well do it while you're already horrible Because really, if you don't have a Top 5 QB, but are paying someone like they are, then you're really nowhere now, and nowhere for the foreseeable future

He was probably partying too much with Russ Brandon

Well duh... everybody knows that the Byrd is the word!

The only problem is that we'll still see his over-exposed face and ridiculous opinions in multiple other forums

I don't post very often, but have been on this site since 1999. Easily the best discussion board forum for our team

But does he have clearance?
