Sam Darnold on private workout with Bills: ‘I could have thrown better’

‘”I wish I could have thrown better at that workout,” Darnold said Wednesday of the session he had in front of coach Sean McDermott, General Manager Brandon Beane and other club officials in Los Angeles. “Not my best day throwing, but I completed most of my footballs. It wasn’t a huge deal, but could have thrown better. But I threw it really well. I was consistent, accurate. The ball just wasn’t spinning the way it usually does, which was a bummer, but it’s nothing crazy.”‘

Josh Rosen would ‘love to be in Buffalo’ after ‘great visit’ with Bills

‘”I thought the coaching staff he a really like a unique sense of drive and fire and kind of passion,” Rosen said. “Coach McDermott’s a really intense guy and I thought … you could see that he had a vision for where the team wanted to go. I thought that was really cool to see. They seem really excited around the building.”‘

The Bills don’t need a quarterback for ‘Buffalo weather,’ local meteorologist says

‘”It seems really lazy just to say we need a guy with a particular arm strength or a guy with a particular hand size just because the weather’s so terrible around here,” O’Neill said in a recent interview. “I think that people just don’t know where Buffalo is. Outside of a couple lake-effect storms a year, our weather is very comparable to Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Chicago.”‘

Terry Pegula: Backlash over player protests meant NFL was ‘under assault’

‘After remarking that the league was “under assault,” Pegula unloaded a series of nautical references, according to the Times: “To me, this is like a glacier moving into the ocean. We’re getting hit with a tsunami.” He said the league should never again be “a glacier crawling into the ocean.”’

Pfeiffer: Plenty of reasons for Bills to go QB

‘The greatest need for the Bills is to find a franchise quarterback. Unfortunately, most of the time, drafting for need is a recipe for missing out on a potentially great player in return for what may be the best player at a position group that isn’t particularly strong in that given year. (Think E.J. Manuel and the 2013 draft quarterback class, maybe one of the worst in a decade or more).’

Buddy Nix simply a spectator for this year’s NFL draft

‘”Most teams are kind of like the Bills have been for years, which is kind of in purgatory,” said Nix, who was a special assistant for the Bills after his run as GM ended in May 2013. “They win just enough games not to pick early because they’re good everywhere else, so they wind up floundering trying to get that franchise quarterback. A lot of teams are in that situation.”‘

Action Jackson

‘Jackson is the best dual threat quarterback in this draft as his numbers will attest. The Florida native saw action in three games as a freshman and was the Cardinals’ starter each of the last two seasons. He threw for 7,203 yards and 57 touchdowns, while producing 3,172 yards and 39 touchdowns on the ground. But don’t get the idea that Jackson is a run first guy. He is a passer who can run as opposed to a runner who is asked to pass.’

Jim Kelly coming back home

‘The post, which showed Kelly taking a walk through New York’s Central Park, said “On final day of being in the big apple, Jill Erin and Parker took me on a little walk around Central Park. It was awesome just to see trees again and to breathe fresh air. GOD willing we will be heading back home tomorrow. Can’t wait. Till then, don’t stop the prayers. THANK YOU ALL.”‘
