Interesting info about Wilks at Arizona

The Bills traded up from 12 to get Allen. It wasn’t their pick, it was Tampa Bay’s and it was a draft night trade. Arizona had pick 10, so it would have been easier for them to trade up.

We like to build up fan favorites but there’s no true evidence back then that Wilks preferred Allen and tried to get him. Heck, he could have taken Jackson as well.

As I’ve said before you can find snippets every year of teams talking up prospects. We said nice things about Willis and Pickett as well. It’s like Hurney and Herbert. We were in the market for a QB and Marty braved COVID to go to the pro day. Detroit and the Giants were willing to trade back and more than likely could have drafter their same guys at pick 7. If Hurney was that sure and thought he had his next Cam, why didn’t he convince Tepper, the guy who said he was an amazing college guy?

Now that Wilks is the interim guy we have to act like he wanted to take Allen. We did the same with McAdoo. He said Allen was the top QB but he also said Darnold was solid.

You're arguing with the wrong guy. I'm saying what you're saying. I don't buy it. In a few months it's highly likely were cleaning house and hiring a new coach.

Who's to say trading up was even an option? The Bills may not have been willing to come off that pick or at least not without an absolutely absurd asking price.

The Bills traded up to select Josh Allen. That's what Wilks' point likely was.

He was definitely right about the QB's.  Too bad he had to pay the price for the GM's bad decision.

And Mcadoo wanted so and so qb when he was in NY.  It doesnt make them a great coach unfortunately.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
