Did we wait an entire calendar year and give up 3 valuable assets to only get a marginally better version of Tyrod? Because that's what you just described. 

I think you’re conflating “good” with “mediocre.” In my mind, I described a private-label (“Presidents Choice”) Roethlisberger.

I think a private label Roethlisberger is considerably better than the description I responded to. In my view you described a middle of the pack QB--a guy who is good enough with the right situation around him. You don't wait a year, trade 3 assets, and draft a QB at #7 to get that. That would be a very disappointing outcome.

I almost said Roethlisberger Lite. But that seemed to be more pejorative than I intended. 

And I'm saying: I perceive that as his ceiling. A guy who reasonably reminds people of Big Ben, but isn't quite as consistently good as Ben has been. That'd probably make him a QB who'd occupy a #8-#12 slot in terms of overall performance in the league. That's maybe a bit of a disappointment, but I'm ready to live with it.

The mother of LeSean McCoy's son, who previously said he has never abused him, said in court she lied and that he has abused their son in the past. She provided photos of bruises to their son to the court in an affidavit.

McCoy denies it, saying she's doing it because they have a custody battle coming in a few months.

Also, every single court document I've seen regarding LeSean McCoy, in this case and others, spells his name as "LeShawn." Including the one signed by his son's mother. Must be he spells it differently in sports vs legally.

I think the language is tripping me up. I'd be fine with someone around #10 in the league. I just think that guy is probably better than "most often good enough." When I read that, I think Alex Smith at best...and top-10 QBs are better than Alex Smith.

Language is hard, especially when dashed off between this and that.

Alex Smith? Hmmm. Maybe I think Josh Allen's ceiling is like a much more explosive, somewhat less accurate Alex Smith? The love child of Alex Smith and Big Ben?

Mostly, I think he tops out, if he does, as a poor man's (maybe economy class?) Big Ben. Which I think could get the job done.

Gotta be for some video game.

The rookies this year did a bunch of gifs like this during the rookie premier. This dance is called the floss. It’s popular in general but the game Fortnite makes it moreso.

And then they'll start someone else next game, get blown out, Tyrod will come back in and take them the rest of the way to the playoffs.

NVM there's no way Mayfield isn't their starter now. Good on him.

@LesBowen
Jordan Matthews said he’s a father now because of his year in Buffalo. “There wasn’t anything to do there but each other.” ?

If it makes you feel better, that's what happened to me and Mrs. Doohickie when we lived in Los Angeles.

Does Tyrod get the official win for that one? Because if so, that's literally the most Tyrod thing in the world

He gets the win even though his team was losing when he left the game? Seems dumb.

 

Also, see Tyrod isn't good at being a QB. MEDIOCRE AT BEST.
