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

 

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

Allen is a QB who developed into a threat with both his legs and arm.  His arm was already a threat but became better.

 

LJ is a QB would could beat you with his legs and his arm every now and then.  Nothing has changed with is game.

Do we have angry fans over this? 
 

I think it’s a great deal for all. Happy to see Allen’s hard work pay off for him and his family

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

Running the ball effectively will make Allen even more dangerous.

Probably feels real bad right now to be Josh Rosen.

Per Ninersnation

 

Josh Rosen $850,000

Rosen is on a one-year deal with zero guaranteed money. If he makes the roster, Rosen's base salary will be $850,000. San Francisco can release the former tenth overall pick of the '18 draft and not suffer any dead money against the salary cap.

 

We could probably trade for him since he is CLEARLY the most pro-ready QB in that class. Get him on the cheap.

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.

Jackson’s style of play is also completely baked into the Raven’s offense at this point, both in playcalling and personnel. Which makes him especially valuable to them.

*looks at Josh's deal*

 

*look at own paycheck*

 

 

 

Yet ANOTHER great day to be a Bills fan!

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. 

 

It doesn't matter where his 'home' is.. 

[TroutDog]

This organization has morphed into one of the best in the league. From drafting to cap management and everything in between, absolutely top shelf. 
 

Love that this was taken care of and leaves plenty of cash to build around for the duration of the deal. 

[LABILLBACKER]

Brilliant long term signing for a fair amount.  Josh is worth every penny. And on top of all this Beane has Immediately put the Browns & Ravens behind the 8 ball.  They will probably be forced to spend as much if not more on lesser projectable talent.

Its diminishing returns.  Taking more effort to get the same results.  Theres 2 good games of footage from Buffalo alone on how to handle the guy.  Winning 12 reg season games is cool and all, but hes not good enough to win a chip.  When hes no longer on a cheap deal, is that going to get harder or easier to do?

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. 

 

He's likely to be #4 within a year.

Ok. I disagree. Discussed this exact scenario with a NY based accountant.

No one's angry.  Just a lot of quibbling over exactly how awesome it is to have a legit QB all wrapped up for years to come.  😉

8xs a year, going onto 11 games a year 😉

Good things come to those who wait....  and wait... and wait.... and...

 

At least that's what I've heard.

Don’t the players have to pay the tax of whatever state they’re  in including each road game?

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

Same for me. It also demonstrated how quick his release is. He had no business getting that throw off. Phenomenal.

[sherpa]

Peripheral damage.

Daboll is likely gone, more so now.

 

Anybody in the NFL who can turn a "project" QB into this type of contract is going to be gone.

[BuffBillsForLife]

Glad to finally get the monkey off our back after all these years.
