If you don't think Watson is a good leader then you have not been paying attention at all to his college career. His teammates and coaches rave about him, his work ethic, leadership skills. He has not had any off field issues at all and is polished and articulate in interviews. A tweet is what turns you off? Give me a break. He is a completely different person than Winston, Manziel, and Kelly and all of their legitimate off field concerns.

Projecting S.O.S. a year ahead of time is just about as useless as doing a mock draft a year ahead of time.

Right, should have specified bonus guaranteed money.

When you trade a player you are hit with a cap penalty equal to the remaining guaranteed money on their deal. So, unless you get him to restructure for little to no guaranteed money (which he would never do), the Bills would not be able to absorb the cap penalty of trading him.

Watson will be a successful NFL franchise QB. Mark it down.

What about the rest of the league that he absolutely dominates as well? Time to face the fact that the guy is an amazing player, clearly the best of all time, who is smarter, more clutch, more dependable, and a better leader than any other QB in the history of the league.

So sorry for your loss.

Dude gets fired after 2 years of a 5 year contract with a 15-16 record despite huge injury issues and he is supposed to be happy about it? Give me a break. I don't blame him one bit for what he said and most of it is true! He should have never been hired or given a fair chance. He was undermined almost immediately from the inside.

That he had to sniff an ammonia cap and he said the first half was kind of a blur. Sounds like by today's standards he would have been diagnosed with a concussion and they would have been forced to play Matt Cavanaugh. Would it have made a difference? I suspect it may have.

Anyone who watched any FSU games while EJ was QB and compares him to Watson's performances at Clemson is completely blind or has zero knowledge of football.

Luck was a once in a generational prospect. RG3 wasn't even on the radar the year before he blew up. Remember when Conner Cook was going to be #1 overall? Or Teddy Bridgewater? While Darnold had a great year, he is not the prospect that Luck was, at this point at least, and could easily fall off before he comes out.

Almost every single year "next year's" class is going to be better.

There are always outliers, but for the most part good teams win close games. Good teams have good QBs who can get you that game winning drive. Good teams have good coaches who can manage the clock and allow that drive to take place. Good teams have fewer stupid key penalties which keep the opposition in the game.

My post from other thread on this: I watched a good amount of ND games and Kizer did absolutely nothing in those games which made me come away thinking he would be a top NFL QB. Same with Miami and Kayaa. These guys may have the "tools" and "biggest upside" but to me, if you can't pass the initial visual test of watching them play then you should not even be in consideration for a first round pick. I will say this though in the ND games, I often found myself saying "why do they keep running the ball all game when it is going no where." Not sure why Kelly didn't open it up more for Kizer is it Kelly's fault or did he just not trust him? Finally, a huge red flag to me is any college QB with a completion % below 60 in their final year. Even more so if they showed regression which Kizer did. If you can't hit 60% in college how are you going to be effective in the NFL? I'm really glad you are not making the selection on draft day.

Good teams find ways to win close games. Bad teams do not. It's really that simple.

The great news is that it looks like we'll have the chance to get a really good player at 10. Whether it be a WR, S, or LB. Now, if we go somewhere else (CB for example), I will be disappointed.

Gilmore. Definitely Gilmore. Put on an island all year long. Got burned a few times, sure, but who wouldn't under those circumstances? What you don't see is all the plays he completely shuts the guy down because they don't throw it there. So what if he can't tackle. Primetime was a horrific tackler and he's the best CB of all-time. A noticeably better CB than Darby at this stage IMO.

I was about to do this, then I got to the first position, QB, got to thinking who our QB is going to be next year, got depressed and stopped. Maybe I'll try again later.

Seriously? He lost the Dolphins game for us by not being able to kick it into the end zone on kickoffs and missing kicks. He is absolute garbage. He has got worse each year. Wake up man.

Vince Young did not graduate in 3 years. Watson is a smart, composed, professional, charismatic leader. Vince Young was lazy and immature when he left Texas. Just because they are both black, doesn't mean they are the same guy.

So you missed the 2 beautiful passes to Leggett, one caught at the towards the end of the game and the one that would have been a perfect throw had Leggett not stopped the route for a split second. The missed throw was actually more impressive. He read the defense perfectly, threw a perfect ball at the perfect time...Leggett just let up a tad and couldn't recover. This is NOT the old West Virginia offense of screens and short routes from Geno Smith. And throwing it up to your best WR who can make plays is a bad thing? Haven't we been screaming for Tyrod to do that to Sammy for years? The guy has talent, a great head on his shoulders and is a true leader (something we have lacked severely with Tyrod). Sign me up for him on draft day, no question. The great news is that there are a lot of quality players at the top of this draft. At this time, I'd be pretty happy with Watson, Williams, Hooker, or Adams.

Have you ever even watched football? He is so much better than Cardale Jones. Really, it is not even close.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that he is paid by the Bills and is not going to bad mouth his employer which would, most likely, lead to him losing not only that radio show but his dream job of being an NFL play by play announcer? If you don't go into that show knowing that, well then, you are an idiot. I know I'd go day in day out lying like that if I had that gig. It's perfectly reasonable.

Just keep telling yourself that. We saw the exact same things that got him benched in college. He has a great arm, but he will never be a great QB. Never.
