LOL!! I thought this was my other thread about the metric article. MakeBuffaloGreatAgain has every right to call my opinion dumb in this thread. This thread is completely conjecture!

This isn't a 100% either/or situation. You guys keep trying to attribute to me viewpoints I haven't said, or simplify things I have said. So I'm just going to stop trying to have a discussion with you. It's not worth my time.

I like that guy. Underrated prospect.

Yep. I'm 54...I was a DJ when I was in high school and college. I've had a few different careers in my life. I like to try different things. I'm now an English Professor.

You're making a awfully big assumption that the player we trade up for will actually be a franchise QB. But I'm the dumb one. Yes, that happens a lot, doesn't it?

I used to DJ weddings when I was younger...I was awesome at weddings So we disagree. So what?

Someone didn't read the article

I never said it wasn't a decent QB class. Is it better than average? Probably. But I don't think it is worth trading up and giving away a lot of picks for one of those QBs. ...You guys really do like spouting BS, you know that?

Wow, that’s a bad first pick

wow, I hadn't heard this possibility before. Interesting.

I'm not sure about that, but I do know he is quite welcome to blow me.

Matfield is a perfect Bellichik QB

If we're giving up that many picks, not only do I think he should start immediately, he needs to park some cars in the stadium valet before the games.

But that's assuming Beane thinks there are 3 QBs of equal value and trading up to 3 is fine, because you can take whichever of the 3 falls to us. And this is probably not the case. The Jets paid a premium to select what will most likely be the 3rd QB picked in the draft. LOL Jets, like always. I do not think Beane feels that way about 3 of the QBs. He likes ONE QB. That's why he's waited. He's going to see who the Browns pick. If they pick anyone other than Rosen, I will bet that the Bills move up to #2 to take Rosen. And I will be willing to bet anyone on this site $100 that if the Browns select Rosen #1, the Bills do not trade up to #2. But this is all dependent on the Giants wanting to trade down. They might want Rosen. Or Darnold, or whoever. And if that's the case, Beane can not be held responsible. You need a willing trade partner in order to move up.

This is what I believe: that Rosen and Mayfield are the only two QBs worth trading up for, and that Darnold and Jackson are the only two I'd even consider taking at 12. If Allen fell to the 2nd, I might take a flyer on him because we have two 2nd round picks...but every stat, every metric is screaming that this guy is going to be a huge bust. I want no part of him.

Well, you can't blame Beane if the Browns and Giants stay put and don't make a trade. I think the trade up to12 was fantastic, no matter where we end up picking.

I understand that, but everything we've seen over the past 30 years is that picking a franchise QB is a crapshoot, and no one really knows who is going to be good and who isn't, right? So again - why spend all your draft capital on ONE GUY when you can build up the other positions with very good talent (not 100% either, I know) and go after a Jackson in the first or a Lauletta in the 3rd? Now, if they know that Stud QB is THE GUY and they want him that badly...okay, I see trading up to get him. But you have to embrace the variance that you're going to be wrong in that spot more times than you're not.

And of course, if we do pick Allen, I'm going to hope I'm wrong and he's a fantastic QB for the Bills.

Say that to Cousins or Prescott or Brees or any number of QBs taken outside the first round. You've just said it's a crap shoot, right? If that's the, case, wouldn't it be better to have 7 or 8 rolls of the dice instead of only 2 or 3? Again, I don't know what the right answer is. That's why I'm interested in discussing it.

You do see the word "suggests" in the title, right?

This! Almost every metric coming out is screaming that Allen is a bust.

So we should close our eyes and throw a dart at the QB board, and hope we get lucky?

If only we had some analytical data to look at, right?

If that’s the case, why break the bank for one of them when you can get another at a lower cost?
