Gruden thought he was Farve like....we will see soon enough.

Tribinsky didn't start for the Bears day 1, Watson didn't start for the Texans day 1, Aaron Rogers didn't start for the pack day 1........sooooooo...I don't agree w you on that statement.

disagree

Yep, which is why the Bills won't likely get a crack at him. Unless, of course, they trade away all their picks that are sure fire starters. (1's and some 2's) I surely don't support the trade up scenrio where they dump all the choices......maybe a modest move up, but, not to #2 for sure.

The problem w trading into the top 5 to get a "franchise guy" is that the odds of getting that caliber guy are still only about 1 in 3.......that is a bad bet imho. I would take a good looking QB in the first couple of rounds, and fill all the holes. Its the route to winning faster......and, if we had kept Taylor, we might have won with him at QB. Face it, the Dennison era was a diaster for the O.......he only wanted his system to start, which didn't work, so he had to revert to some of what worked in the past. And, the receivers we had were bottom of the barrel. (yes, even Benjamin after he was hurt) Keeping those picks and getting a handful of starters is the way to go. NEED wr, qb, ol,lb, cb......yikes.....need some serious help here. Glad I dropped my tickets.......

A rookie QB, if there is one, may not even be playing if the Bills are still in the hunt. A rookie QB might be playing, however, if the bills are out of it, or if both the Jets and Bills are out of it. (Mahones got one game last year in that circumstance) So, it might be Peterman or AJ McCarron under center. And, the Jets new guy...who knows.....

And when he quit on the starter, he was wrong.......

Many teams could use an all Pro rb......thats what is causing it.

Never I am hoping!

Got to sign a lot of live bodies if you are going to dump all your draft picks on a trade up stragedy. (not necessarily quality fb players unfortunately) I am not a fan of the trade up stragedy.

I am not a fan of this stragedy. The Bills have way to may holes to fill. Lots of sub par journeymen being signed, so, the trade up play is set. Unless McCarron is a genius we are going to have a bad year or three. Not enough lb's,wrs, defensive line guys etc etc. This is watkins version 2.0. And, odds are it will come out the same way. I don't have an opinion on the top 5, but, even at best, quoting the stats elsewhere on this board, chances of a franchise qb in the top 5 are 1 in 3. Not my kind of bet. Color me disengaged and taking two years off as a fan if they do the trade up.

Isn't Macklin a free agent again?

Welcome I had a taste of being a Bills fan in Asia for one year. (Japan) Not easy, as games are on in the middle of the night if you want to watch live. NFL.com allows purchase of games on line if the web address is outside the USA if I recall correctly. But, mostly I watched recorded a day late in an American club while eating dinner, so it was a good experience. You make interesting point about Rosen.....but, I didn't even know he was Jewish until you mentioned it. That fact remains of no interest to me however, as I don't think that kind of marketing thinking (land in NY, Miami or LA) goes into the draft process anyhow. They do check character, but not what church the guy goes to. Same w the racism angle....the NFL is majority black these days, and nobody cares if a QB candidate is black or white....just can he play.

My view is that Allen is the most Cam Newton like.....and likely what Bean and McD like........if he is gone...might not take an early QB........another wildshot thought anyhow.

If the next Luke Keuchly is out there, I won't complain if they take a QB in Rnd 2.

Jackson is TT Version 2.0

You may be correct that he is a system QB, but, that does not preclude him being an NFL starter and a good one. Maybe not first year, but, given a little time, can't say that isn't possible.

Lets see, these first round guys are all slotted from a pay point of view....so, #1 in the first round is the highest paid rookie. I think I understand the objective as stated. Darnold is a businessman it appears. Good for him. Playing in Cleveland won't be fun for a while however. 9 wins last year.

Not the primary objective, but making the Jets overpay is ok from a secondary objective point of view.

Jackson is TT v2.0, bills won't draft him.

Flutie like, he could play, but, teams caught on how to stop a shorter QB. (arms up) Yes, Mayfield is not as short as DF.

He might not pass a drug test, however. Stay tuned. And, the morals clause in the players contract allow discipline by the team and the league for behavior unbecoming the NFL and its representatives may yet come to haunt young Zay.

Revisit Archie Mannings career in New Orleans.........that is the problem. Great QB, never was able to muster any sort of winning team.

Color me contrarian.......I don't want to give up all those high early picks for the #2 to get a QB that maybe, maybe might be a top 10 NFL QB. Bills have to many old and slow guys on the roster and need to get new talent now, or, a QB won't matter at all.

We wish Zay well. But, I question if the Bills will allocate a roster spot to somebody who is unstable in this manner. At least, that is my thought
