Also, it's not a domed stadium. It's a covered, open-aired, stadium. Lightning could still easily enter the field and remains dangerous, but the rest of the elements are kept out. It's pretty easy to understand if you're not a moron like Gruden. Expand Apparently, they tried moving fans to the concourses during the delay. If it's open on the sides, I imagine you'd want to keep fans in the stands away from the openings. The logistics don't make much sense. I'm guessing they'll put some lightning rods on top of the roof after this... 1 Quote

NewEra Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 If he continues to play like he is, he is a lock for the HoF. But he’ll probably get even better. Leaving Josh out of the mix is questionable, but I believe that Herbert will likely be sitting next to Mahomes and Allen for the next 10+years. I couldn’t be happier that Miami took Tua.

2003Contenders Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 I saw the piece. It was Steve Young who chimed in a few minutes later about Josh Allen -- and he clarified that he would place Allen in a different category than Herbert or Mahomes because both of them were outstanding right away, whereas everyone knew that Allen came into the league so raw. Young said Josh has grown by leaps and bounds and that he will continue to do so -- essentially said that he has a limitless ceiling. 4 Quote
TheFunPolice Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 Manning and Rodgers were the "best QBs in the league" for years. Meanwhile, the chubby kid from Michigan who only threw screens and check downs has 7 rings and is still playing. 2 Quote

I also wanted to see the Bills play in Vegas but COVID blew that one up. I've been lucky that the Bills have played in Nashville the last few years which is only a two hour drive for us. We'll be there in two weeks for that game. We haven't been out West in quite a few years. A Bills game would be a nice excuse. 🙂 Edited October 5, 2021 by Inigo Montoya Quote
transient Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 Not denying Herbert’s talent, but Shefter is a tool. Declaring Herbert a HOF lock after 19 games, with a 9-10 record at the time the statement was made, is hyperbolic buffoonery. 1 1 Quote

(A $5 BILLION dome stadium and they can't play in it during a thunder storm? What the h*ll?) He also said during the same soliloquy that Mahomes and Herbert were the two best young QBs in the NFL and would be the choices of any NFL GM looking to start a franchise. I'm not here to put down Mahomes or Herbert, I agree with Schefty that they are amazing young QBs. I don't need to put them down to believe that Josh is fantastic too. Was Schefty just throwing a hot take out there on the fly and just overlooked Allen, or does he really put Mahomes and Herbert in a different tier than Allen? I think Allen legitimately deserves to be in the conversation for best young NFL QB. I would put Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, and Watson all in that group. Watson obviously has some issues that could derail his career, and I could see some people leaving him out of that conversation right now because of it. I'm not going to get mad about someone believing that Allen isn't the best of the three, but for Josh to not even earn an honorable mention is a bit strange. For my money, I wouldn't trade Allen for either of them. That's not a knock on Mahomes or Herbert, I just have a huge amount of faith in Josh and believe he has the traits to be an all-time great QB. I also believe Josh's DNA fits Buffalo far better than either of the other two guys would. Expand No disrespect to Josh but I’d carry him on my back and walk from Buffalo to KC for Mahomes. Quote
Einstein Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Allen hasn’t looked good this season. I know people will make a million and one excuses for it but he just seems “off”. It’s frustrating. I really like Allen but he is nowhere near Mahomes level, and I fear that Herbert is surpassing him as well. Edited October 5, 2021 by Einstein 1 Quote

Expand Well Allen sat for the 1st half of his 1st game, that's about the same!! LOL Mahomes did though come out firing on all cylinders immediately as a starter whereas it took Allen two full seasons to get there, so is a difference. Quote
