All about the QB, quick tear down and a quick rebuild...

Indy, Browns or Atl... 2 Years ago I said the Browns; Hue should have been tossed out with Sachi

Here are the updates: Locked on Bills‏ @LockedOnBills FollowFollow @LockedOnBills More Replying to @calebtcullen From what we've heard here, there is no immediate plans, however a great effort on MNF could change the compensation for a team. They still want a 2+3.

Al Saunders may be the interim HC

Tell your parents that Boca...

https://thedraftnetwork.com/2018/10/25/the-trials-and-tribulations-of-young-quarterbacks/ Offensive coaching/scheme – 4 I’ve watched a lot of the Bills passing game, and been pretty impressed with Brian Daboll’s offense so far. He’s scheming guys open and giving Allen easy reads, while also utilizing plenty of play action concepts, the quarterback’s biggest schematic strength in college. Bills’ analysts I trust have concerns with the run game, but I think Daboll has been good for Allen in his initial half-season in Buffalo. Summary (16/25) Josh Allen was playing at a pretty low level this season before his injury, some of which can be attributed to his supporting cast. Although he’s making matters worse, his protection hasn’t been great and his receiving group has been worse, although Daboll’s scheme is helping alleviate some of those concerns by scheming guys open and making things simple for Allen. The Bills have some things in place that will help make this a stable spot for Allen, now they just need to enhance the level of talent around him on the field and hope he can look more pro-ready by year three. Final Thoughts After grading all of the first/second-year starting quarterback situations around the NFL, here’s how they stacked up. Mahomes – 21/25 Trubisky – 21/25 Allen – 16/25 Watson – 15/25 Darnold – 15/25 Mayfield – 12/25 Rosen – 8/25

Without a doubt

One would think Chad and Dareus would have gotten along famously...

Brian Mazurowski‏Verified account @BMaz1 FollowFollow @BMaz1 More Chad Kelly has now been kicked off a High School, College, and NFL football team. That has to be a first.

James Palmer‏Verified account @JamesPalmerTV FollowFollow @JamesPalmerTV As @RapSheet reported, #broncos have released QB Chad Kelly following Tuesday’s arrest for trespassing. Per sources, Prior to the arrest Kelly was involved in physical altercations with a guest at Von Miller’s party & with hired security while being escorted out of the party James Palmer‏Verified account @JamesPalmerTV 33m33 minutes ago More From what I’ve gathered, Broncos players are not happy with Chad Kelly. They’re upset he behaved to a level that required him to be escorted out of at a party that is meant to bring the team together and has been going on for a several years now.

Hey you guyyys!

enjamin Allbright‏Verified account @AllbrightNFL 4m4 minutes ago More The facts: -Party is an annual Von Miller party. -Theme was "cowboy" not cocaine (TMZ wrong) -Chad Kelly was at the party -Kelly incident occurred a few blocks away. -There is security video. -Kelly was "mumbling and incoherent." -Kelly had no alchohol in his system per police.

Sadly enough this might not have been a bad idea. It would have been nice to move on from Dickie J, Greggo, Meathead, Gailey, Marrone & Rex quicker. sigh...what a sorry list of HCs

These kind of moves are never particularly graceful - I do commend the NY Rangers though they seemed to be really good about it with the fans and the players. It is an upheaval for anyone associated with these moves, moving families and friends, the players may actually not want to leave, during the middle of a season when everyone is trying to win. It's obvious most players don't love it and they shouldn't... All I am simply saying is that we seemed to navigate this better then Oakland...

I honestly didn't think they were that far away; I am surprised to see Gruden tearing them down. The manner in which it seems to be being handled just cannot sit well with any players. I will give McD & Beane this - they handled ours way better... Ian Rapoport‏Verified account @RapSheet 26s26 seconds ago More My understanding is that #Raiders RB Marshawn Lynch’s injury that landed him on IR is more core muscle than groin. He was spotted in Philadelphia this weekend, so perhaps another surgery from Dr. Meyers. If so, he could return in 8 weeks.

Field Yates‏Verified account @FieldYates 51s52 seconds ago More The Raiders have placed RB Marshawn Lynch on injured reserve. Chris Mortensen‏Verified account @mortreport 4m4 minutes ago More When I mentioned Derek Carr, Gruden was quick and to the point: "We're not trading anyone else. We're trying to stay competitive and figure out a way to compete this next game (against the Colts." #Raiders

Chris Mortensen‏Verified account @mortreport 1m1 minute ago More Jon Gruden on Amari Cooper deal: ""I hate to see good players go.. I was on the practice field when Reggie came to me and said Cowboys would do this for a No. 1 and I said let's do it. We now have five No. 1 picks in the next two years so I'm excited about that."

Gil Brandt‏Verified account @Gil_Brandt 26s27 seconds ago MorOf the 50 players taken by the Raiders in the last six drafts, only 16.0% remain, lowest % among all 32 teams. Raiders 16.0% Bills 16.3% Giants 20.5% Browns 20.7% 49ers 24.6%

100 - 3

That entire team will have to be turned over, Gruden has zero respect from anyone in that locker room and no one will trust him. I will give McD credit, he holds himself accountable and meets with the players - just as you said. That I think goes a long way in having players go the extra mile. Edit: as a NY Rangers fan, I love that they sent a letter out to the season ticket holders and held a presser saying they were selling last year. It's a good way to do business IMO.

Savage as Fu## There is no way they can keep Carr at this point. That team has to be in shambles...

#MeToo

Every season at draft time, the conversation of BPA vs need always springs up. There are certain positions that are more valuable than others (QB & Pass Rusher vs LB & S), overall positional cost (x amount of salary cap $ for WRs) etc. When you are drafting to fill holes, that is when you tend see players and positions get over-drafted; the results are usually never ideal. When you draft at the top of the draft, you want to grab as many blue chip players as possible. That infusion of talent who can take over a game because they are that skilled will help the overall organization out more in the long run. I found this article earlier this year, and even though it is fan based, it is very well thought out IMO in regards to this... "Drafting for need is reactive, rather than proactive. Drafting for need means that the front office is focused only one year ahead. Basically, the franchise is asking the question: What position(s) do we need to fill in order to compete this year? The problem is that the organization may leave better players on the board in the effort to draft a guy that they think will make them competitive in September. The front office should be asking the question: Which player available will have the strongest positive impact on the franchise for the longest number of years? That’s the guy you choose. Instead of drafting for a year, teams should draft for a decade. Ten years later, people will remember and complain about the fact that the team’s GM left an all-pro on the board to pick a tight end because the OC needed him to ‘complete’ the scheme. However, if the GM passes on that tight end to select the best player in the draft, no one will ever bemoan the fact that the team couldn’t execute its full scheme because they didn’t have the right tight end for the system; they’ll be thrilled to have the all-pro talent for the next ten years. Drafting for need puts a team in a bad cycle that’s hard to break out of. The team will leave talented players on the board year after year as they chase the ephemeral ‘complete’ roster." https://www.hogshaven.com/2018/1/30/16882302/the-5-oclock-club-redskins-nfl-draft-bpa On this board we never, ever, B word about who we passed on in the draft. This part also rings true: "I’ve heard theories that are in direct opposition to what I believe. Some people think that the first round is where you draft for need (find an immediate starter for this season!), and that you can switch to a BPA philosophy in later rounds. That’s exactly backwards. The first round is where the generational players are usually found. No, I’m not suggesting that great players can’t be found in later rounds or that great players can’t be found among the undrafted free agents. Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and Tony Romo, among many many others are proof that talent evaluation is in part a crap shoot. But like craps (or nearly any form of gambling) some bets are more likely to pay off than others, and grabbing a guy with great on-field skills, athleticism, measurables, a seemingly good attitude, character and love for football in the first round is probably going to work out more often than not. In addition, in the 1st round, there can often be huge differences in talent from one pick to the next; these differences become less and less clear as we get to later rounds of the draft as players become more and more ‘average’."

I pretty much feel the same way. I am grading on McD as a coach and not as defacto GM. The team overachieved last year and he improved the defense. Grading Beane rests on Allen and I am still not sure who is calling the shots, him or McD. The jury is still out on this guy....
