    I don’t mean to be rude, but didn’t the Bucs have a better draft pick than us in 2017 and 2018?


    It’s not just draft position, there’s too many moving parts. If Evans was drafted, maybe Whaley would’ve stuck around a couple years longer. Maybe we would’ve thought we didn’t need a QB. Maybe Whaley would’ve drafted a new QB before 2018. Maybe Beane would’ve been hired by someone else. Hell, maybe we wouldn’t have even traded our 2017 1st and picked a QB there….

    I don't hear a lot of ripping on Lamar, but maybe I'm just not listening.

     

    This guy at SI is ripping on Spencer Brown as taking a "thinly veiled shot" at Lamar, though.  I don't see or hear a "shot".

    I think Spencer Brown's point is that last season, Josh did have a lot of stats over Lamar - not "every", OK, but passing yards, passing TDs, 1st downs, 4 Q comebacks, game winning drives, rushing TDs, rushing 1st downs.  Jackson had a higher completion percentage, higher pass Y/A, and more rushing yards and yards/attempt (also more fumbles). 

    Then people were making the point to justify Lamar as MVP "well, it's not just about the stats, it's about what he means to the team's success".  So now some of the same people are looking at what Josh Allen means to the Bills success with most of the pundits predicting the Bills have no talent left and wouldn't even make the playoffs or win the division (and also cleaning up the INTs), and those same people are saying "oh, Lamar should win it because he has better stats, more passing yards, more passing TDs".

     

    That's Brown's point.

     

    Tell us you don't understand how the MVP selection process works, without telling us that you don't understand how the MVP selection process works.


    Sorry, I meant “a” Super Bowl win. Allen has outplayed a good number of MVP winners over the years, but still hasn’t won a SB. For this, he just doesn’t get the respect across the league. Why not? I don’t know. 

  3. Not a new position. When player agents saw that their pass-rushing LB clients were making much less than DEs, they didn’t like this. Especially when the franchise tag was much more for DEs. So, they made a “new” position, which would have different financial considerations. The EDGE was born. But, on the field, this is not a new position.

  4. I don’t think McD should call him into the office and strip him of play calling. By it’s McD’s job to call him into the office and figure out why he’s struggling and what he can do to fix this. This is no different than any other supervisor-employee relationship.
