I want to see what he looks like after he'd played half a season. I know a lot of people were trying to push him out the door after year 1, but that seemed premature.

Josh Allen didn't make his jump until year 3. Sometimes it pays to be patient with young QBs.
Tua doesn't have even close to the physical talent Allen has, though. Allen was almost the prototype of a very high ceiling prospect -- tons of physical ability but a late bloomer who had to play at a low level college program. Tua is small, has an average arm, and played at the best program in the country with tons of talent around him.

Which is why I never got the Tua hype.

Oh, and @Genghis Khan

Kurt Warner kind of hinted at something I found comical last week.

The Browns scored 42 points last week and lost. Instead of focusing on the Cleveland defense giving up 47 points all the fingers were pointed at Baker for not being able to lead them on a last minute TD drive.

I guess when you have a narrative you have to stick with it no matter what.

Reminds me of the Romo game against the Broncos a few years back. Romo put up 40 something but the defense gave up like 50. After the game people were trying to give Romo shit for throwing a pick at the end. It's like, how about the defense not give up 50? The QB was just fine.

He still hasn't.
You talking about Josh Allen? He's absolutely made a jump in years 3 and 4.

Tua's only in year 2. I just want to see what he looks like after he's had a good 16 complete games under his belt before I make a definitive opinion about him.

You'd think we'd be past those size stereotypes after watching undersized QBs like Brees, Lamar, Russell Wilson, and Kyler Murray play at a high level in the NFL.

I'll be rooting for Kyler today in the battle of OU QBs. He's been great this year but it still feels like he's being slept on nationally.
I was always Team Kyler, even back in college. Felt like I was one of the very few on that.

We finally had another black guy around here and you SOBs ran him off.

Now who am I going to share my thoughts about shows like Insecure and Snowfall with? :mad:
I don't think that kid would dig those shows.

NFL probably rigged it to help the Jags' image when they move to London, amirite?

what a joke. So much for NFL's hardline zero-tolerance stance.

Next Ray Rice incident will get 2 games
zero tolerance for what? hes active because he cleared NFL Concussion protocols..not all concussions are the same and all players heal differently.

I don't think that would ever happen. I'm sure they've floated idea a time or two, but that time zone difference is too big of an obstacle.

I was watching SportsCenter early this morning and one of the in studio CFB analyst was doing a segment standing up and it looked like he absolutely no movement in his right arm. It looked like it was paralyzed and just sort of dangling by his side.

I didn't catch his name and I was wondering if anyone here knows the guy I'm talking about. He had black hair and looked to be in his late 40s or early 50s.

First beer. Not sure if going to hit the liquor today unless the Cowboys give me a reason to do so.
