Should I mention all the "Haters" posts from the kid's rookie season?


Josh Allen

Josh Rosen

Sam Darnold

Baker Mayfeild

Baker will still be the best by far, but Allen is definitely better than Rosen/Darnold

I agree, but last year it was Gospel on this site that Josh Allen couldn't make an NFL Roster let alone be a Good Starting QB. Kid has passion and is dedicated to his work.

He does look better this year, but I'm still sceptical about his passing, specifically his accuracy on medium/deep throws.


Darnold and Rosen are trash

Remember, Josh was not allowed to practice or take snaps with the 1st Team Starters last year, hindering his ability to learn NFL Signal Calling.

He has all the Tools.

He scored highest on Wunderlick testing.

He is an Athletic Freak!

I dont agree with some, or maybe a lot, of the things that McDermott and Beane do, but I finally have the sense that there are adults in the room. I haven't felt that in a while.

I think management stability is more important in this sport than maybe any other, so I hope we found a pair who can grow here, even if I'm so sick of "process" talk.

Glad to see McDermott get back to .500

I believe Baker will be good, I just think it funny how the haters shut up when their smack comes too soon as well as too weak.....

I'm still not a believer in Lamar but he has been impressive.

I still think the order of QB's being

You don't think $60M of the $65M all being signing bonus money is crazy? He's getting $29M in the next 12 months.

Isn’t that what ROR signing was?

My bad, I guess it’s safe to call him a bust based on 1 week then.

O'reilly's contract was nuts at $18M in signing bonuses the first 12 months and $45M in bonuses versus $7M in salary, but Marner's is insane at nearly $30M in signing bonuses the first 12 months and $60M in bonuses and $5M in salary, with some of those seasons at under $1M in salary.

I just don’t like how people think Baker is great. He’s not even close to great yet.

Darold
Baker
Josh

Are all still struggling and have long ways to go

I think he is good, could be great. But if the Bills had that offense and laid an egg week 1, I think we would also be very very upset. I know it’s only 1 week, but he needs to have a winning record at seasons end.

Josh?
As in our boy Allen, since Rosen isn't playing yet.

Assuming so, I don't think I would say Josh is struggling.
65% completion rate last week with 250 yards
63% completion rate with 250 yards today.
He keeps that up, he will have 4,000 yards passing.
I'll take that all day long, especially in year 2 only.

This is true, but since the cap hit is the same and within the rules, oh well.

That comparison to Trubisky is hopefully way off. They won, yes, but 120 yards passing? Ouch. And they only won due to that roughing the passer call, which was complete garbage.

Add flame to the Risto trade rumors

Risto who has been practicing with the group playing going to penn state is not playing tomorrow.

Just saw that too. Have to give it to Risto though, sure seems like he asked for a trade and so far he as shown up and not made a huge deal of this. I hope the best for him, but hope we win the trade! Lol

I guess Eric Cornel and Sean Malone are being traded, too.

But Rosen is the most readiest QB ever!

8-21 102 yards and 2 picks so far this year
