  1. Never said he wasn't legit, but I don't put him on the level of someone like Mahomes yet. But I'd also add it wasn't just his team. Allen himself made his own fair share of mistakes as well.
  2. MLFootball is a sh-tty source. That said, it sounds like they're paraphrasing some comments Newton made when he was doing the "Special Forces" competition last year. I remember those seeing him make statements to that effect. So...technically correct, but reporting is still refried zebra sh-t.
  3. Logically speaking, every trade is different. Speaking from experience, I'm extremely gun shy about trading away future first rounders
  4. Allen as a quarterback is to me right now is what Andy Reid used to be as a coach. For the longest time, Reid would look like a world beater in the regular season only to flame out in the playoffs. That's Allen right now (Jackson too). Reid got over the hump. Allen and Jackson might also... ...but neither has just yet.
  5. Allen is the success everyone shoots for. Richardson is the more common result. Mind you, if Bryce reaches the kind of success we're hoping for, he'll be an outlier as well.
  6. Newton made it to the Super Bowl, and commandingly so. MVP doesn't prove anything to me until he at least makes it to the Super Bowl.
  7. Hell, even Allen himself hasn't proven he's got it all just yet. Bottom line though, shooting for the next Josh Allen / Cam Newton all too frequently nets you the next Anthony Richardson / Trey Lance.
  8. The whole "take the phenomenal athlete and teach him to be a quarterback" model is just something I've never believed in. They have to have the quarterback skills first. If they're also a great athlete, that's gravy. But The idea that you can turn a lousy passer / processor into a pro quarterback is just fallacy.
  9. I wonder if this will lead to any discussion or debate
  10. From Dianna Russini... Still a decent price, but not as high as was originally projected
  11. I got called away early in the game and haven't had a chance to look back at it so I may need to review this. Thanks
  12. It occurred to me that simply saying "Zod" had died without context could provoke that reaction. Hence, why I included the tweet.
  13. Not sure I understand that
  14. Not exactly the NFL, but... RIP General Zod
  15. Might not be on much today because we've got work to do but I'll try to leave some observations. This, as I understand it, will be the "dress rehearsal" game but unlike in the past, the starters may not play a whole lot.
  16. To be fair, the "games that matter" train has left our station pretty early for the last few years
