I think 42. He hasn't proven he can beat you with his arm like Josh and Mahomes can

 

What does it matter how he beats you?  He still beats you.

 

He's won 24 games over the last two years.

Does that officially mean we are not getting Ertz?

Great news, but was there ever any doubt?

 

I'm glad they got this done early.

He will be paying some hefty NYS Income Taxes though, so in a sense, he is helping pay off the new stadium too. 🙂 

I highly doubt this. As he only works here for a part of the year, I am sure he has a ‘home’ in a state with no income tax.

How many run first QBs have won Super Bowls quarterbacking a team as compared to pass first QBs? 
 

Asking for a friend?

Both a great and bitter sweet day.

 

Because even as he signs the document to link him to the team for about the next decade you know deep down that with that type of money and expectation the real pain is just beginning.

 

Hopefully everyone’s  skin is a thick on this new adventure 

Battered Bills fan syndrome runs deeper in some of us then others.  Josh will gently rock us all to sleep till we feel safe again, hugzz

I like Josh signing first of the other two. I say this firmly believing he will be  the best Qb of that class.   
 

Then the discussion can be either. Yeah Lamar we will pay your more per year than Josh and ultimately in the long run it will look like we get the better of the deal.
 

Or Baker yeah your not quite Josh money so we will pay you a bit less, maybe he is happy with it or not. And yeah that looks good on Baker.

Amazing time Bills fan.  Very happy.  Didn’t care about the $.  Just wanted it done and not hang over our heads during the season.

 

It is now the cost of doing business.  It makes this team legit. 
 

Go Bills!!

you can have whatever opinion you want about Jackson - I don’t think he’s any sort of world beater either. That opinion means less than nothing. You’re ignoring the basic economics of the NFL. LJ is considered a proven commodity at this point and QBs like that get paid, period. We’ll circle back once that deal gets done since you called me crazy and you can apologize chief.

I hope you're correct. Lamar Jackson's style of play (essentially a running back) doesn't translate into longevity.

 

Apparently he has satisfactory WRs this year so I'm looking forward to Raven fans' excuses next offseason.

Been waiting a LONG time to have a QB worth a contract like this!

 

 

Yes we have. Feels great!

 

What’s cool is, if he plays out his contract, he will be tied with Jim Kelly for the amount of seasons they’ve played in Buffalo.

 

JK - ‘86-‘96, JA - ‘18-‘28

 

Hopefully he’ll play at a high-level for us for even longer. How about at least ‘18-‘38. Franchise QB, baby! Go JA!! Go Bills!!!

The leap in Minnesota got everyone excited and got our attention.

 

This is still the play that confirmed to me "we got our guy."

 

 

 

 

I know it's not literally one play that did it, but if you had to ask me which one it's that.  

 

Everything about it tells you why.  

 

The target (our WRs were terrible)

The pressure (worst o line in Bills history)

He takes the hit 

He never stopped looking downfield 

The Jaguars D was still very good and Ramsey called him trash that week

Release and arm strength

Also you don’t pay your QB 150M guaranteed if you plan on handing the ball off more (like some projected).

Don't think I'd call it a "steal" but I do like the contract. The deal only trails Mahomes - which is right where it should be. 

Allen could have demanded more $$$ or less time. In a couple three years his pay is going to be low.

 

We have him for eight more freakin' years!!! The Bills are set to be great for eight more years.

 

It could be so that in four years, we could build a Super Bowl team reasonably because our QB salary at that time won't be nearly as high in relation to all QBs.  We could also go for a Super Bowl next season as Josh's huge money doesn't kick in yet, I think...IDK?  I just got this feeling we're going to build a Super team next season..... That by next year,Groot is going to be our front four blue chipper that we need so badly.... and that he is going to have help in Ed, AJ and Boogie....
