OP is spot on. Interesting way to put it.
We somehow broke our playoff curse. Now let’s get our QB and be a perennial contender. Nothing closes the gap faster than a top end QB and there’s two available this year that we can go get.
I’m willing to sacrifice some draft capital to force the issue. It’s been 22 years since our last Franchise QB retired. I’m not willing to wait another year and hope a QB magically falls into our lap.
We can start with drafting Frank Ragnow-C Arkansas in the 2nd and Wyatt Teller-G Virginia Tech in the 4th. That gives us three building pieces if you add Dion Dawkins. That gives us a nice base going into next year's Draft and FA.
He's more high end Matt Ryan than Eli or Jameis
I'm always against giving interior DL paydays. They treat those contracts like a destination and not a continuation of what got them there. Also he's not special. Much rather invest in a young DL in the Draft in a really good DL class.
Remember how he looked like he was going to break out during the Jets game and then got injured. Can't wait till we pair him with Rosen and he's a perennial Pro Bowler.
Honestly he's going to garner so much attention with the National media with his takes
His only real knock is durability. That's it. He can do anything he wants on the field.
My only 'real concern' with Rosen is the concussions. He's had two that we know of. He comes from an affluent family. His dad was on the shortlist to be Obama's surgeon general. Maybe a few more forces him to walk away. I don't know but I'm willing to take the chance. The kid has it all.
You hit it right on the nose. NFL guys love zombies. Especially at QB. Maybe they eventually get to him but I'm not passing on him because he might have an opinion on Trump that mirrors the majority of this country.
This is the exact quote that fired me up yesterday when I read it. I don't think he's going to be throwing a hissy fit if we move up to #2 and take him. I wish we were a fly in the room the first time he meets Beane and McDermott at the Combine.
UPDATE: Eric Galko on his latest podcast says the cost for the Bills to get to #2 will be 21st, 22nd, 2019 2nd Rd Pick and Cordy Glenn. If that's true then it is a steal for us.
That's all it'll take to get our Franchise QB? ANNOUNCE IT NOW!
