Gramps

The kid was reported to the FBI and they did nothing.

Who cares about Ryan, Orton, Grossman ? All pocket passers are not created equally either. Isn't the goal to win Super Bowls ? Rodgers has one - one more than we do.

Banning semi-auto assault weapons would be a start. But those who want to hurt others will find a way. This kid was also researching how to make bombs.

And he is a pocket passer ...

How many rings do they have ? And Brady ? Roethlisberger ? Both Mannings ?

As proven by Dan Marino and I'm sure others, college stats for the most part can be tossed as evidence of future NFL success. How many sure hit QBs have failed and never made it in the NFL ? None of us know as amateur scouts what Daboll / Beane / McDermott are thinking and none of us know which QBs will be available when the Bills draft. All I'm saying is that I'd rather have a pocket passer - not saying it has to be Allen as I think Allen will be gone by the time the Bills pick.

I'm astounded that the Florida H.S. didn't have an armed policeman stationed on campus. We have county deputies onsite at every school in my county in Georgia.

Big time Lamar threw 4 interceptions in the Taxslayer Bowl. Allen will go higher in the draft than Jackson - no doubt in my mind. No comparison - the Seahawks designed plays around Wilson's mobility. Not the case for the Steelers.

Thanks for taking the time for the breakout, but none of those stats is a predictor for how Allen, Jackson, Rudolph, or anyone else will do at the pro level. I hear folks saying Daboll wants a "pure passer". What does that mean exactly ? Does it mean someone with a great arm that can make any throw or does it mean the QB with the highest college completion %. I stand by the law of precedent in Super Bowl champions. In the last 20 years, all pocket passers with the exception of Russell Wilson. Brady, Roethlisberger, both Mannings, Elway, Warner, Brees, and most recently Foles all pocket passers.

Neither did Josh Allen. Just sayin.

You or I will never know that answer until Jackson plays in the pros. And I don't put a lot of stock in what Manziel says with his track record. And if Jackson was all that, they'd be talking about him going in the top 5. Never hit 60% completion % in any season.

True, but heroin is not RX'd here.

Mental illness is really the issue here although I'm all for a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons. However, no one talks about the quiet killer which is opioid overdoses. Drugs are pouring in over the southern border daily.

Jackson reminds me of Vince Young and we all know how that ended.

Maybe so - I thought he got hurt during a game and missed more than a half as well. In any event, I think it's been said Daboll will be looking for a "pure passer" which fits Allen more than Jackson. However, Allen will be gone by the time the Bills draft - Jackson may be around. Most of the Super Bowl winning QBs in the last 20 years or so (with the exception of Russell Wilson) have been "pure passers".

Didn't Allen miss a few games ?

Sorry for your loss.

Serious question ... my mom was an ER trauma nurse for about 30 years and ended up with severe varicose veins. Any truth to the theory that standing in one place for extended periods can cause them ?

I'm semi-retired - in a few more years, this will be my home.

Truth ... my taxes in N.Atlanta are about a 1/3 of what they'd be in WNY.

Good points but what we don't see in many cases is how many catchable passes were dropped, how many passes were thrown away, did said QB have receivers that could actually get open, etc. Dan Marino never hit a 60% completion ratio in college and threw a boatload of picks. No college QB is a sure thing.

More agreement - the only ones I'd possibly move would be Kane/Lehner/Johnson/Pouiot/Okposo/Larsson/Gus. I'd move Pommers too but no one would take him.

Lots of scouts think differently on Allen - he'll be gone before the Bills pick so no worries about taking him.

Agreed, when is the last time you actually saw him stickhandle around someone as opposed to just shooting it in or taking a long shot ?

Housley says there were some "passengers" tonight plural ... Besides Risto, who else ? Pominville ?
