Pretty sure most of the comments about comps pick are a running joke based on some posts from a while back and, mostly, not serious.

I always see posts about how it's too bad TT was not better on the field because he was such a good teammate and good guy off the field. I suppose this could be true, and he certainly seemed to have several really close relationships with teammates, but the only thing that was more ridiculous than watching him try to play football was watching him between offensive possessions. Always sitting on the bench, mostly alone, never looking at tablets or printout of plays, never talking to coaches, always looking mad/sad, never rooting for the defense, etc. It always seemed like he'd rather be pretty much anywhere else.

I think he's too flawed.
I don't know how anyone can make this judgment, or say he's going to be the next stud QB, based on the limited time AJ has been on the field. Did you somehow see a ton of Cincy practices and camp reps?
I say he looked just good enough when he was thrown into game action and got playoff experience for me to be curious about how he will look with first team reps and consistency. Other than that, I don't think anyone who posts on this board regularly is qualified to judge how good or not good he will be quite yet.

I don't see what difference that makes!
Stating a non-truth as a fact to support an opinion? You're right, nothing at all wrong with that.

I have no idea what A.J. Maccarron has show that makes him a better option than Bridgewater or Bradford. Glad we have someone to start but Peterman has more pro snaps than he does. Hopefully the rookie beats him out in camp and we don’t float with mediocrity for too long
You realize this is not true, right?

Sorry, but if Barkley is there when we pick in the 20s (NO way this happens), you take him and don't think twice about it.

This dude is so legit..... Easily a top 5 pick.
This dude is going to be the best back in the league for about a decade.

I remember being really not excited for the St. Louis Rams vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl. I'm not sure why, but I was already sick of St. Louis being a dominant team and hated seeing them back in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years. And, while the Patriots hate was not as strong way back then, I definitely did not want to see them in or winning a SB.
Oddly enough, some of my favorite "old" football to watch now aside from Buffalo is those Greatest Show on Turf St. Louis teams. Some of the players on those teams were all time greats.
I wish it was Wentz under center, but I'm still pretty excited for the Eagles actually. I hope they somehow find a way to absolutely embarrass NE. Not likely, but one can dream.

You would have to be certifiably insane.
Well, I think this label could be applied to a few owners and coaches in the NFL haha

I promise you that if you worked for an NFL team and told them "We don't need a QB. In 7 years, I have a feeling this guy might be pretty good" and you then proceeded to wait through years of watching said QB suck, you'd be fired long before you ever got near Year 7. It simply isn't an option. If a QB still sucks by the end of their rookie contract, there is no justifiable reason to give them a second contract.
Agree. But the discussion wasn't really about if someone would be able to keep a job through all of this or if it would be realistic. The question was asking if it would be worth it. And I say, yes, it would absolutely be worth it.

And that's not even getting into situations like Tyrod, who believed he had starting ability and refused a contract extension to remain a backup despite limited regular season action.
Your getting into the reality of the situation and asking how this would even be possible. You are absolutely right, almost impossible to justify a move like this. But would it be worth it if you did do it? Yea, it would be.

6 years in means we'd have already given him a 2nd contract and he'd be at least 2 years into that one. In his first 3 years in Houston he started 10 games and the Texans went 2-8 in those games. Thinking he'd have lasted beyond his rookie contract is foolish. If a player isn't going to contribute within the duration of their rookie contract then they aren't worth the draft pick.
I don't know as if I agree with that. If they turn out to be a stud but you have to wait 7 years, how is that not worth it compared to guys who are no longer on the team, or perhaps never even made the team. Of course, this is all hypothetical. The fact is, Keenum was undrafted. Is it worth the money and roster spot for 6 or 7 seasons if in season 8 he lights it up and wins playoff games for you? I say yes.

If a guy is going to take 7 years to develop like Keenum, he just isn't worth a draft pick. That's far too long to wait.
In 2011 we drafted;
Round 1 Marcell Dareus
Round 2 Aaron Williams
Round 3 Kelvin Sheppard
Round 4 Da'Norris Searcy
Round 4 Chris Hairston
Round 5 Johnny White
Round 6 Chris White
Round 7 Just Rogers
Round 7 Michael Jasper
I would say, having a QB on the roster this year that played as well as Keenum did would be worth any one of those draft picks, considering none of them are even on the team any longer or (aside from Dareus) even making a meaningful contribution to a team in the NFL.

When it doesnt work the first time we should definately not try to do it again
Exactly. Remember when we took a QB in the first round and he was awful? Stay away from first round QBs.

Kaep, because he actually can play the game at the NFL level and the only reason he isn't currently is because a bunch of conservatives have their panties in twist.

I like what are no-namers did. Ryan Davis was a lucky find I would take him and maybe Star la la la with a nice serviceable veteran at outside linebacker to replace the overrated Alexander and find ourselves a real middle linebacker. Preston Brown still has a place on my defense if it's up to me I just have to find a way to utilize what he does bring to the table. But three of the first five on offense gives us 1 ball carrier one lineman and one quarterback. I think this team has more needs than that and go should be addressed buy drafting another lineman as depth and a possible running back or wide receiver.
Kareem hunt in Kansas city is yet again another example of what a small town unheard of running back to bring to the table and the league was full of those and they about done guys like Tony Gurley and all the other big names out there that got all the hype
I don't completely disagree, but our 5 picks and we're still in the 3rd round. Unless it's Barkley, I'm waiting until one of our 2 fifth round picks for a RB.

They also talked about how easy it is to send him packing.
A new OC could come in and literally pick his QB at will between a rookie or vet.
As of now I'm good with the first 5 picks being skill positions on offense. And go after Lotoluiiluollleee from Carolina along with a few other vets on defense. We need speed. Going back to Atlanta - you just can see we sucked at LB then. Alexadner is overrsted. Humber was meh. Milano is a backup.
And we ride with Taylor and a rookie in 18.
How about 3 of the first 5? I'd like a big DT and a fast MLB in there somewhere.

Taking my PMP test
Best of luck with the test!
It's amazing to think about the amount of time between seasons and the things that can be accomplished in that time.

I'm hoping it will be easier with snacking on Saturday and Sunday a lot more limited with no football on TV. I'll get back to actually being a little productive on weekends!

My life revolves around football so much I often forget there's actually most of a year between now and the start of next year. I'm always counting down to the next season, and it sometimes makes it seem as though spring and summer go by too quickly as the excitement for football and a fresh season builds.
With the 2018 season set to kick off on September 6th, we have 242 days to live between now and the new season. So put the draft, OTAs, and training camp aside for the moment. What will you use the 242 days for?
I hope to drop a little weight, run a Spartan race in August, and finish my dissertation and finally wrap up my Ph.D. before the next season starts. What will you use the time for? What goals do you have where you'll be able to look back and be proud of how you used your 242 days?

Can't wait for TT to not be our QB.

Short pass leaves 3rd and 4
Just curious, is someone that's not able to watch relying on your play-by-play in this thread?

I was watching for this but didn't see it. Was it only on locally in Buffalo?

Anyone want some Flutie Flakes or Flutie Frutie snacks tonight? Would that be bad luck or good luck to eat those things?

I'm drunk and waaaaay too pumped for this game. When's kickoff? Why wait. Let's just do this thing now!
The heck with this, I'm just going to ask him

I know one of Beane's best friends well and see him almost daily. He doesn't know anything so I'm pretty he won't be sharing details with strangers.
