1) the media and fans would destroy all those guys if they won 1 & 3 games their rookie years. They would be called busts and fans would want them to draft a new qb. Aikman went 0-11 as a rookie with a 53%, 9 tds to 18 INTs. EJ, for example, went 4-6 as a rookie with a 59% and 11 tds and 9 INTs. Think about how he was perceived, now imagine if he had Aikman's rookie year.
No one has the patience to develop a qb.
2) I don't think Tyrod is the answer either. But he is a serviceable qb at first. If he had to play as a rookie, he'd probs let be out of the league now. Sitting was the best thing for him considering he was an under 60% every season in college.
3) I'm all for playing a guy right away. I'd rather draft a guy, have an open camp, & let the best man play. But how many fans and media would be in ok with the struggles that every rookie qb has?
4) the NFL badly needs a minor league. With arena football, we never have Kurt Warner. There are a ton of young qbs who are ruined because they play too early, struggle, & then get tossed aside. Personally, I'd love a summer league where backup NFL qbs compete with fringe players.
Good post

Less actually. We missed out on less quality players because that draft sucked.
QB's get elevated above where they should be because supply doesn't meet demand,
-
EJ was not the big deal it's made out to be. QB's suck all the time. Hardly the Bills' fault.
Reaching in a poor draft class becomes more of a reach...
-
1 round ahead of grade is a reasonable reach, easily. If the Bills had a second round grade on Carr, taking him at #8 or trading back and taking him at #20 would've changed this whole franchise.
Makes sense to me,
If you see a guy you really like chances are another team feels the same way.
Probably the approach taken on E J ...
-
I think the biggest thing I notice when I look at the QBs drafted is that since 2007 the Browns have selected a QB 22nd overall 3 times (Quinn, Weeden, Manziel) and they've all been awful.
I'm again reminded...
-
Every time I see threads like this I think about all of the mock drafts that had us picking Nassib at 12. Thank God we didn't...
lol, reminds me of why i'm not a GM,
verdict is still out...
-
Look at some of the scouting reports on Tyrod Taylor or many of the later round draft picks that despite claims went on to become NFL starters.
The best QB to ever play the game in my humble opinion was a late round draft choice.
They get it wrong...
-
Sorry everyone. Just frustrated at too many repetative and redundant threads on the main board. Did I mention that I had a few last night? Maybe i should start a thread about bourbon, scotch and beer.
Seriously though, sorry. I hereby ban myself from starting any new threads for a period of 217.5 days.
Don't beat yourself up over it OP
Thread starting/ trolling was probably one of BBMB biggest problems before the shutdown IMO. (Look at me threads)
-
....not quite...sadly, EJ cut HIMSELF with his demonstrated ineptitude...NFL speed, complexity and zero confidence were his downfalls.....did I root for the kid to make it?...damn right...hell I couldn't make it as a kicking tee.....1,696 out of how many BILLION are privileged to be employed in the NFL?...no comparison between a 1st and 1 4th, but Cardale is now on the "show me" docket.....
I would kick you
Agree on C Jones,
lets see what you got kiddo...

Happy Easter Bills and Packer fans!
Have a great Easter Sunday everyone,
God Bless the USA
-
like we have been doing for the past 17 years?
how about we try getting a good qb then building around them
We already have one, maybe two,
Can we play with all the toys we already have first and wait for a better draft class at the QB position?
-
I agree, draft players that can help the QB's we already have so they can succeed.
I would still like to get a better look at C Kelly, but thats about it.
-
so what comes next will be known as the AfterGlow?
This used and abused thread riding off into the sunset is clearly out of the question,
thanks Foxx...
-
Really won't want to lose him but the only position the Bills are good at drafting is running back. He is very replaceable.
this ^^^^
-
Good stuff
thanks OP
-
I see. thanks for making that clear.
carry on.
hahaha
the end...

funny how this highlight thread turned in to such a lowlight...now it's the contract.
what next?
you can only beat a horse to death so much.
smh
The days of duplicate threads is over,
just ask Jack,
Everything Tyrod related in one thread is a good thing,
not talk about our starting QB?
Good luck with that...
-
Inquiring minds wanna know
McDermott wants to know...
-
I agree but I think the OP is looking for a QB conversation so I gonna say Chad Kelly with one of the 5th rounders.
I was thinking along them lines before the surgery, now I'm not sure.
-
One of the biggest playmakers that will come out of the 2017 NFL Draft will be O J Howard in my humble opinion OP.
-
No, if you grew up in the Buffalo area. It just doesn't make sense to me. For me, the Bills are more about Buffalo than the team. I'll never root for any city over my hometown.
Now, I root for 2 baseball teams, Cleveland and the Mets. Grew up liking the Mets and their druggies but the Bisons were Cleveland's farm team and Major League is an awesome movie. But I really don't care an eighth about them as much as the Bills.
what he said ^^^
-
Is that what's wrong with you people?
kinda?
-
No. North Carolina.
thanks

with all due respect Da, and I can understand why the comment might put you on the defensive, (thanks)
No reason for duplicate threads, or thoughts off the top of your head threads, (when you can use the shoutbox )
Unless of course you come along and beat the living daylights out of the thread with a stick,
then we may need a replacement...
