You've changed my mind. We should trade Allen for Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley so we can run and stop the run

Which one stops the run!!

Sure, and there are many HOF QB’s that have very poor playoff records.

There are many QB’s that landed on the right team and won multiple SB’s and made the HOF because of the strength of their respective teams.

Was Terry Bradshaw elite ?

John Elway didn’t win a SB until Terell Davis showed up. Most of his elite passing seasons be made it to the dance only to get killed.

Peyton Manning had an 11-13 playoff record until Miller/Ware and the No Fly Zone won him his last 3 games to give him a 14-13 record.

Brees is 9-9 and lost to Cousins and Keenum in recent years.

Having an elite QB gets you to the playoffs, having an Elite team wins you a ring.

Word salad at this point. You're just repeating the same things over and over.

77% of the QB's who have won the Super Bowl are wearing gold jackets, or about to.

And if you think Eli, Big Ben, and Wilson get in, it's closer to 90%.

9 out of 10 Super Bowl winners. A majority of them won the Super Bowl MVP

But yes, Joe Flacco won one that one time

Yes, and that one time is as many rings as Rodgers and Brees have won. The same amount that Dilfer and Brad Johnson have too.

Only difference between being a Saints fan and a Broncos fan the last 5 years is that I can throw in the towel a month early while Saints fans get one step closer to another cardiac event while finding another epic way of losing a playoff game.

Who gives a Frank about playoff appearances.
All that matters is the playoff appearance that leads to a ring on the finger.

I understand the Bills haven’t won a playoff game in some time whereas the Broncos have been, or at least were, one of the more successful NFL franchises from the time Bowlen bought the franchise until 2015, so we are looking at it through different lenses.

Should we all go celebrate the No goal or losing to the Canes in 2006 ? At least we made the playoffs. Still don’t see a banner in the rafters though.

arguing for the sake of arguing never ends well. give it up dude.

loving my draft kings position right now!
might sell off some commodities and get some air bnb before their ipo. I think itll hit $95 in the near future. could be a great short term return. I've got some of my kodk $$ burning a hole in my pocket still. I still like my nvda position but I'm worried itll go stale once biden (kamala) fixes the economy though

There is a definite correlation between liking Larry hockey and frank gore football. The Larrys ran and stopped the run and we sucked ass.

Death to Larry hockey and Frank football

Throw the puck and shoot the football. That's what I say

That throw to Davis...I am still in awe of it. I've watched it 5 times this morning
- Stripes77

The one replay where you can see him watching it fly after he released it, he knew it was gonna be close getting it over the LB. That was a pretty pass.
He’s very poised in the pocket, seems like he always slid the right way to avoid the rush and make a play. That game was fun to watch. Go Bills

Not off topic but not completely on this topic


There are like two QBs I would take over Allen right now if I was starting a franchise

Mahomes
Watson

That's pretty much it. You could convince me that Allen and Watson are even.

- Stripes77



Interesting post. Good opinion.

Could have drafted the 2 best nfl qbs , but traded the pick.

Tre and allen = winning


I'm not %100 or %1,000skinnersure , but I'd consider franchise building around guys::::


Pat
Josh/murray/lamar/watson
burrow/Hebert/ Lawrence / baker / tannenhill (age)
Tua/ darnold / goff

Probably missing a few

You’re right. So that’s why 77% of the starting QB’s who have those rings are coincidentally good enough to be considered hall of famers, and just 23% of them are Joe Flacco’s

My play is that good teams win Superbowls. Most of the time a team is better on one side of the ball then the other. Having a good QB always offsets certain things. Even if they are not playing well, there's always that threat from a elite QB. Many ways to win a football game. The better teams seem to find more ways to do it.

Flacco-
The reason we (Bill's fans) are so adamant about needing a franchise qb, is we have lived it. Maybe it's an age difference, most are probably twice your age.

The Bill's picked Marshawn, and cj spiller early
Our identity has been good running backs, good defenses, but average qb play.

We have 25 year playoff winning draught. We know first hand.

I hope you as a Broncos fan understands this concept the hard way. Over the next 20 years.

Brock osweiler
Trevor semien
Paxton's lynch
Case Keenum
Joe flacco
Drew lock

You will learn , this is why your team sucks

Injuries happen to all teams. Elite qbs make up for Injuries and sloppy play in general.

Drew lock isnt closing the gap. He's making it worse.

Flaccoville needs to learn the hard way.

Havent you been watching football since they used real pigskin?

The league has completely changed. It's all about throwing the ball. Having an elite thrower is very important. That thrower touches the ball is much as any player on the team (center too). Having an elite thrower that has plenty of ball touching is important. 🤔

The center in hockey that Carries the puck more than others, is similar. Kinda need an elite 1c to win the cup ?

Was Terry Bradshaw elite ?

He was money, dropping bombs to swan and stalworth in the big games




This is a case of looking at stats, I am old enough to watch those bombs dropped on the oilers, cowboys and ram teams

This could be an age difference thing with flaccoville?

Always thought Allen/Bradshaw was a good comparison. Bradshaw didn't start out well but he got better. I don't know what his stats were for those first two Super Bowl seasons but it really didn't matter because that d was bad arse. And they had a good rb combo too.

Deshaun Watson belongs in the conversation for top 5 QB in the NFL with all due respect.

The Bills are a Super Bowl Contender because they are a very well rounded football club.

The Texans have a junior varsity defence and special teams and can’t run the ball so they aren’t diversifable offensively.

I would not be surprised at all to see the Bills go to the Super Bowl because I think they have the recipe to emulate what the Broncos were able to do this past Sunday against the Chiefs but instead of having the worst QB in the league the Bills have a top 5 QB.

It’s a team sport, it’s not Deshaun Watsons fault the Texans suck. He is more then good enough to win a Super Bowl.

Is it Aaron Rodgers’ fault that his defence gave up 220 yards on the ground in last years NFC championship game ?

It sure as heck wasn’t Drew Brees’ fault that Diggs caught the Minneapolis Miracle because the safety took the worst angle to the football I have ever seen in my life.

Does it help if you have an elite QB ? Absolutely.

However as the Giants proved this past weekend, in a one game sample size it is possible to beat an Elite QB if you play a pretty damn good team game. I don’t think anyone is going to mistake Colt McCoy being in the same stratosphere as Russell Wilson.

- Pegullaville


Yes, but I don't think that means what you think it means. There's a reason only two teams have gone undefeated in the regular season since 1972; anything can happen in one game.

For like the 5473rd time it's about odds. 72o can beat AA in a one hand sample. But will get absolutely crushed over even just 10 hands. Or if you have 4 and the dealer is showing a 10 and you double down, you can win the hand, that doesn't mean you were right to do it.
