Billshank Redemption Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Ive been watching the top 3 Q.Bs and I personally am conviced were going Q.B 1st pick and I gotta tell you as much as I hate to see another california qb in a bills uniform I would love to see this guy line up under center next year. By far one of the smartest Q.Bs ive ever seen play college ball. He almost reminds me of phillip rivers or even peyton manning. To me locker is an athletic freak but then again so was losman. This guys the real deal he has the confidence and the skills to back it up... Just some food for thought. LGB
Drew026 Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 The thing that scares me is that whenever I watch Locker I can't compare him to anyone because he's just overlly athletic. Luck or Gabbert down the road I think are the most NFL ready of the bunch.
BillsObserver Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Im enjoying watching LUCK on ESPN right now. He's looked good so far in the first half.
Fixxxer Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 The thing that scares me is that whenever I watch Locker I can't compare him to anyone because he's just overlly athletic. Luck or Gabbert down the road I think are the most NFL ready of the bunch. How about Jake the Snake in the best case scenario and JP Losman being the nightmare scenario. I think this kid is very talented but he's very inconsistent. He will be drafted early but he won't be a Matt Ryan, somewhat a polished rookie requiring little time and coaching. If we draft Locker I hope the fanbase and the coaches (more importantly) bring this guy slowly but surely to progression .
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 I thought Luck was the best last year, but I would rather they win games and go to the playoffs. I am tired of hoping for high draft picks that don't pan out. It is time we started winning and it starts with Killing the fins tomorrow.
BuffaloRebound Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Luck has unbelievable potential. Size, intangibles, speed/mobility, arm strength, touch... only weakness I see right now is he needs to work on his accuracy. Unfortunately for the Bills, Luck would be well served staying at least another year. Not a huge Locker fan. Great athlete, but don't think he will ever be a great passer.
stony Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Im enjoying watching LUCK on ESPN right now. He's looked good so far in the first half. Yup. He looks solid against a good UCLA team. He's a much better athlete than I thought, too.
The Senator Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Luck has shown good skills at Stanford, but he's a red-shirt sophomore in his junior year, with only 10 games under his belt - which makes any statement that he's 'the most NFL-ready' somewhat suspect. (Buddy Nix's criteria for 'draftable' QBs are 3 years/30 games/lots of big-game experience - Luck meets none of those, and I doubt he'll even declare for the 2011 draft.) Here's your 2011 first-round pick... Gabe Carimi
Acantha Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 The thing that scares me is that whenever I watch Locker I can't compare him to anyone because he's just overlly athletic. It's really not the best comparison, but I always think of Flutie when I watch Locker. He's an athletic guy, not the best pure QB or thrower, but he has a knack for making things happen and he makes people around him look better. While I think Luck and Mallet have more pure QB skill than Locker, I think I would take Locker over both of them for my college team. How that relates to NFL success....no clue.
Billshank Redemption Posted September 12, 2010 Author Posted September 12, 2010 I don't really get your point were not drafting college qbs locker is the white Jamarcus russell
Jim in Anchorage Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 I don't really get your point were not drafting college qbs locker is the white Jamarcus russell 100% agree. No way he transitions to the pros.

sharper802 Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Luck has unbelievable potential.

Unfortunately for the Bills, Luck would be well served staying at least another year. Not a huge Locker fan. Great athlete, but don't think he will ever be a great passer. Unfortunately accuracy does not get better when college QB's go to the pros and accuracy is one of the better(none are any good) predictors of NFL success. Much more so than winning record, TD passes, and arm strength. Luck has shown good skills at Stanford, but he's a red-shirt sophomore in his junior year, with only 10 games under his belt - which makes any statement that he's 'the most NFL-ready' somewhat suspect.

Here's your 2011 first-round pick... Gabe Carimi He will in 2012 which is when he will come out for the draft assuming Harbaugh stays. If Harbaugh goes to Michigan or an NFL team Luck probably will enter the draft.
The Senator Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) He will in 2012 which is when he will come out for the draft assuming Harbaugh stays. If Harbaugh goes to Michigan or an NFL team Luck probably will enter the draft. Are you basing this on conversations you've had with Andrew Luck about his future, or simply reiterating something you read somewhere that someone wrote to fill space and meet a deadline? No way Luck comes out in 2011 because Luck goes to Stanford and is, therefore, by definition, intelligent enough to know he's nowhere near 'NFL ready'. BTW... Inaccuracy mars Andrew Luck in blowout win Start thinkin' o-line in next year's draft. The Bills will not win the Ryan Mallett pool and, after him, there ain't a QB worth wasting a round one pick. (There will be QBs in the later rounds like Taylor Potts - (thru 2 games) 652 yds, 7 TDs, 0 INTS, 65% completions, 155 rating - we'll get a look at him on national TV this Saturday nite against #5 Texas.)

please stop the pain Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 INTANGIBLES---Seriously?? Why is it that lately everyone has begun listing "intangibles" when comparing players? Can someone actually have better intangibles than someone else?? Would anyone care to rank someone's "intangibles" on a scale of 1-10. By definition these could be negative as well as positive undefinable or non-quantifiable characteristics. Sorry for the rant, but this is starting to drive me crazy. Or perhaps it is a symptom of my previously existing crazy. I mean really, I'm not overtly psychotic (having learned to hide the really cool thoughts I have - or hear in your heads)but people often walk away thinking 'that boy is not quite right, we should hide the car keys, and the chain saw and the knives...yeah, the knives.... you really can't put your finger on it, but there seems to be something off here...(wait for it) yeah its INTANGIBLE
Beerball Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 100% agree. No way he transitions to the pros. thanks for the translation; I couldn't figure out what that post meant.
Thoner7 Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 I like how so many posters last year wanted Locker bad, then said he was so stupid for going back to college and not coming out (even when that NFL draft commitee said he was a mid round pick) and now he is the "white Jamarcus Russel" and "wont transition to the pros". That stuff was all so obvious LAST season - what has made you all see it now? I dont get it. I hope Trent plays well enough where we dont need a QB. I hope we add a big time Pass blocker of pass rusher next season, and I hope Luck stays in school - we may need him in 2012
Billshank Redemption Posted September 12, 2010 Author Posted September 12, 2010 It was just a point no need to flip out
Mr. WEO Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 I don't really get your point were not drafting college qbs locker is the white Jamarcus russell Jamarcus Russell had a good year in college......
