You must be a hoot to watch games with too. Be a fan of the team, not the player. Excellent, well informed fan - you are.

I think it could be, and there have been posters that have offered very well thought out ideas of ways the board could fall and those picks stay. It's an uphill battle however, bc the majority of the fan base seems to want some sort of sniff at a top guy. Being real, there is a chance we get shot out and there is disappointment. Dont confuse excitement as tolerance and dont confuse this post as one of the aforementioned good shut out scenario takes.

More than any other prospect there seems to be a divide. The odd thing to me is, his fans are constantly posting things like the above. Now that poster isn't really wrong and he has put together what amounts to a solid argument for Jackson. My guess is that it's essentially a futile effort. Now, personally, I really like darnold, rosen, and Allen in that order. I can be talked into liking or getting behind mayfield. There in lies the difference. Most people who dont like Jackson probably can't be talked into liking him the same way someone who dislikes one of the big 4 can be talked into getting behind them. After Tyrod (of course there are differences) people are probably just fed up w that style to a degree. With out getting into the advantages and disadvantages, it's just that simple. I'm sure he is a good kid. If the Bill's draft him I'll fall in line... but for those reasons, I think ya like Jackson or you dont. There probably won't be much fence jumping as one might encounter with the other guys.

I suppose I have no choice but to excuse you, even though this was deemed important enough for it's own thread but yet the only thing anyone got out of it is you have a kinda funny avatar.. Also, let the record show you literally ASKED to be given ****. Make up your mind!

Sssooo.... you do or you dont like him?

So? What Beane thinks is all that matters. I doubt he will call to ask how you feel. But, if and when the time comes - be sure to let him know!

If I knew this would happen before I fell asleep I'd find a nicotine patch and do it right!!

I'm HOPING this is just you being funny. I found it funny.. and maybe it went over a head or two as watching highlight reels will never show the throws he didn't make, or the ints. Makes it rain TDs!! I'm not sure why this is a good idea, but ya got a chuckle out of me!

Doubling down on the lazy take eh? I'm sure there is some other cliche riddled response this sets up..

Not in the least! I'd just rather not debate something that is purely speculative and happened 15 years ago. There is no right answer and a take simply depends on how you felt about his tenure in the 1st pLace. In the end, who cares? Not me

This is really how you want to spend your wed am? Talking about Drew Bledose and how he could have played had he stuck 1 more year?? Geesh, no thank you.. we have qb prospects to speculate over!!!;)

I read this more as BPA, but I see why you could take that away. Unfortunately (and I appreciate the article) it doesn't really move the excitement needle

Lol, yup! 1 more year of Bledsoe would have been MUCH preferable to the bonfire that occurred. Even if it was an eventual easy changing of the guard. That was REALLY bad.. yikes. Besides, he went 9-7 the and chucked it for 3k yards his 1st yr w the cowboys. I wlda signed up for that for 1 more year!

Hard to answer. Bledose was probably the most talented, but we didn't get him during his best years and probably kicked him to the curb too early. Flutie, had success to a degree but he is more remembered fondly as the little guy with a big heart and who got jobbed by Ralph. Tyrod brought the Bills back to the playoffs, but this season has happened a few times before and this time we just got the bounces right. Fitz was fun and he had fun times but has settled into a journeyman role. orton? Well he was hoot and we will always have Detroit, minny and his cigar. Tough one. In the end I'm left wondering.. why do i have to think about this...yuck;)

@26CornerBlitz Thank you for these threads. Especially over the last couple days. I'm not sure why some people dislike them as they are essentially a news feed rather than sifting through 20 pg posts looking for actual news every few pages. It is essentially what the front home page used to be.. all relevant content in one place. I'm sure it isn't easy and takes time. Thank you, and it's much appreciated!!

I get this point, but I've heard this broken down a couple times and explained that it's not that he questions in that he disagrees or would do it different, but rather he is very smart and in order to fully understand or learn he simply isn't satisfied with the direction but rather wants to understand why and the dynamics of it. I perceive that as a type of learning. Some people are hands on, some people are text book, me personally, I understand bc I understand something better when I get the context. He sounds like a bright dude so maybe it's next level BUT it also sounds like why it is the way it is would introduce a broader understanding. Like the type of qb who knows his role as well as everyone else's. That excites me bc the special ones seem to have that trait. I guess I'm just saying there seems to be a misunderstanding and some context to it where it doesn't have to be a bad thing and maybe is a good thing!

You like Lamar Jackson?

How is that well known? Bc u heard some random pundit say it and are not parroting it? I dont even mean this to be a jerk.. but this isn't common perception so it can't really be the basis of an argument. Small price to pay, a pittance, if it is your guy - the hopeful fqb

Record straightened lol

Doc and I have had some good talks to this point:)

Slow day eh?

I get it.. I guess it just comes w the territory. It can totally go too far, but I think that's when it hits a personal level and it's generally snuffed out pretty quick. It's an exciting time with a lot of very excited fans. Potential QB years always are. Hopefully we have fun and no panties get bunched in the mean time!

A very common thought, and hopefully correct regardless of choice

Isn't it just commenting on preferences? This isn't a straight news board. Everyone has their wants and Hope's. For everyone commenting on that manner there is someone doing the complete opposite. No one is right until Beane says they are... and even then we know.. but we dont KNOW for ANOTHER couple years.

Which, could mean everything... and could mean nothing. It'll just be nice when we have some answers to who's basket we will be putting our eggs in!!;)
