zazie Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Nice college QB, as were guys like graham harrell, timmy chang, colt brennen and chase daniels. He'll never be a started in the NFL. just my opinion. He has a much better chance that Tebow of being a quality NFL starter.
billsrcursed Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 So where do NFL QB's come from then? PTR Well........ it all starts when a Mommy and Daddy love each other..... Sorry, couldn't help myself. The pointlessness this conversation was about to endure would have otherwise ruined this thread. You're right, though, his statement was silly.
Phlegm Alley Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 He could be one of those guys that with a solid Senior Bowl/combine/pro day could watch his draft stock rise. As Astrobot indicated, the recent Draftek results had Lefevour being selected with the 1st pick of the 5th round. I could see him improving his draft stock to a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
CarolinaBill Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 He has a much better chance that Tebow of being a quality NFL starter. Agreed, same size, mobility, more refined, better arm, I think Lefevour will def. be better tebow, mccoy and bradford for that matter

There's no way in hell Lefevour slips past round 3
reddogblitz Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I thought he looked good. Kind of scrawney. But he played and passed and ran well and appeared to be a leader. But I liked the other kid, Levi Brown better. Bigger. Looks like he could take an NFL pounding. And he's an accurate pocket passer. Wonder where he'll go in the draft?

I don't know about you, but I don't consider that "scrawny."
fansince88 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 In the latest Sporting News, Joe DeLamielleure says that this is the guy he wants the Bills to take. He says he is the next Big Ben. I was going to say his size and numbers look Benesque. Perfict if we get Cower
ieatcrayonz Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 If you ask me the other QB looked better. Bad, bad Levi Brown. He is probably still mad at his parents for naming him after a dumb song. He will play with a chip on his shoulder.
BigBuff423 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 LaFevour looked impressive last night and he may well end up being an NFL level talent, but unless the Bills were to draft him 4th round or lower, I would be disappointed. Actually, I think I would rather give Brohm one season to see if the fundamentals and basics are there for a NFL caliber QB. I'm not sold on Brohm, but since it's highly unlikely we're making the playoffs next year either given that we're in a "rebuilding" phase.....again.....you might as well spend one of the first two draft picks on a true LT and LB and then begin go from there as to needs, depending on what we do in FA....

I agree. The Bills need to build from the inside out. They need to draft 2 OLs, LB, DE before looking at picking a QB in the 4th round or later. I know that's 4 picks in the first three rounds but I think we trade Lynch for an extra pick on draft day. The other option I like is trying to trade for a guy who's ready for NFL starting duties, Kevin Kolb in Philly using Lynch, McKelvin, Whitner or draft picks as trade bait.
BuffaloWings Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 The kid is 6'3" 240 lbs. I don't know about you, but I don't consider that "scrawny." Exactly...but he just didn't *look* 6'3" and 240 on TV. Still, I'm impressed.
Fewell733 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 he had a couple impressive throws. The vast majority of his passes were still the usual spread offense baloney. I think he helped himself. I would say he's probably a 3rd rounder.
Mr. WEO Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Agreed, same size, mobility, more refined, better arm, I think Lefevour will def. be better tebow, mccoy and bradford for that matter OK. CMU vs. Troy?? How does this bowl game not get played before Christmas?
jtl3302 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 He has a much better chance that Tebow of being a quality NFL starter. Don't see Tebow being an NFL QB either, way too long of release. NFL CB would eat that up!
Realist Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 OK. CMU vs. Troy?? How does this bowl game not get played before Christmas? That's what I was wondering. Why the hell is this game the night before the National Championship? LaFevour looked good, but I don't know if I would take him before the the 3rd.
BillsInMaine Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I liked the kid...im all for drafting him!
bfw1234 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I also found this: Dan LeFevour, QB, Central Michigan. LeFevour (6-2 3/4, 227) is bigger than he looks on film, so his size is not an issue. He is a good athlete who can avoid sacks to create second chances and then deliver accurate throws on the move. He also can tuck the ball and scramble for big plays. He has played in a wide-open passing attack in college but shows the consistent accuracy NFL coaches covet. Against Troy on Wednesday night, scouts want to see how he reacts from what should be constant pressure from Lang and Cameron Sheffield. Additionally, personnel men still are trying to figure out if he has a strong enough arm to make all the NFL throws. His arm strength has been tough to gauge because Central Michigan's offense is based on short, touch passes He reminds me of a better Chase Daniels (Mizzuo) who also put up big numbers in a spread offense.
jtl3302 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I'm just another arm chair coach/GM/scout etc... Obviously we need to find an answer at QB. I like Brohm's potential and hope we go after Cambell but neither are a sure thing. After watching and being disappointed with Tebow/Pike/Snead, thought maybe LeFevour could be a possibility. I personally just don't see it. I certainly could be wrong but just don't think he has it. Have a chance to see McCoy tonight but i'm more interested in watching McElroy. Watched him a few times this year and was really impressed. He reminds me of Brees. Like i said, i could be totally wrong, but check him out and see what you think! Blast away!
CarolinaBill Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 That's what I was wondering. Why the hell is this game the night before the National Championship? LaFevour looked good, but I don't know if I would take him before the the 3rd. It was a matchup of 2 conference champs: mac vs sunbelt, the small school bcs game, so to speak
