HappyDays Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Well, that would be better than your QB strategy of waiting for perfection. I am on record as loving the Peterman pick, you know that QB the Bills drafted? Seems like you're the one that only accepts a perfect QB considering you're not satisfied unless we take one in the 1st round. Comparing Peterman to Levi Brown. Lol. Just lol. Where is your avatar? Maybe get one before you talk. This is... something.

Yes, I am aware of your strategy. I would never want my NFL team to avoid drafting a QB with a 1st or 2nd round pick and only go dumpster diving. Which is actually what the Bills have been doing for 2 decades now.

Which is actually what the Bills have been doing for 2 decades now. I'm as adamant as anyone about the drafting of a QB in round 1 if you believe he can be the guy. However, if you don't, then there's no point in simply taking a guy in round 1 for the sake of adding to the position. Now, I don't agree that none of the QBs in that most recent draft could be franchise guys, but if that's the team's feeling, then I absolutely agree that there's no point in taking a guy early, and that it makes more sense to do what they did and try to grab a potential backup late.

Of course. The problem is we ran the last draft with McDermott as GM using a board from scouts he wanted to fire. Hard to trust that is the best process.

Which is actually what the Bills have been doing for 2 decades now. We're set up for next year with two 1st rounders. I promise Mahomes is not the only QB worth taking in 2 straight drafts. That's literally all your complaining is about and everyone knows it. It's embarrassing that he's still your avatar... Just move on. Tell you what if Mahomes plays a game this year with 15+ pass attempts and gets a passer rating of 80 or above I'll make him my avatar for the rest of the season.

You are.
HappyDays Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Of course. The problem is we ran the last draft with McDermott as GM using a board from scouts he wanted to fire. Hard to trust that is the best process. No we didn't. We drafted players that visited Carolina, not us. We drafted them from schools that we haven't been drafting from lately (no FSU or Clemson). And Beane is the top choice for GM right now. Connect the dots. Don't believe everything that comes out of OBD.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Of course. The problem is we ran the last draft with McDermott as GM using a board from scouts he wanted to fire. Hard to trust that is the best process. Depends upon why he wanted to fire them, doesn't it?
John from Riverside Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Depends upon why he wanted to fire them, doesn't it? If they actually used their input.....who is to say he was not using some other form of evaluation tools and just cross checking them against those scouts?
thebandit27 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Of course. The problem is we ran the last draft with McDermott as GM using a board from scouts he wanted to fire. Hard to trust that is the best process. So you think that McDermott sat back and did zero evaluation of QBs during the process? Or is it that you believe that McDermott wanted one of the QBs but wasn't allowed to pull the trigger? I guess my real question is why you believe that not taking a QB and the previous scouting staff assembling the draft board are related?

I guess my real question is why you believe that not taking a QB and the previous scouting staff assembling the draft board are related? Well, I don't think McDermott is a QB scout. My belief at this time is he decided he was going to fill needs at the draft and try to win with Tyrod this year. Which makes complete sense if you are a coach that sold the owner on making the playoffs this year.
ndirish1978 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Jeff and Co - You have now firmly hijacked this thread, as QB evaluations have nothing to do with Beane's interview. Please take this discussion to the shoutbox or another thread, I came here looking for updates and got 3 pages or unrelated arguments.

LolUpdate on Beane- 2nd intvw for him, he's the front runner Still bringing in candidates though, guy from GB is the latest Edited May 8, 2017 by YoloinOhio
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Multiple GM threads ,, https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/e39af689-a87c-36c3-b0c7-ab9cc727ecd3/ss_bills-invite-panthers.html The early favorite for the Buffalo Bills general manager job appears to be one step closer to landing the gig. Carolina Panthers assistant GM Brandon Beane will have a second interview this week in Buffalo, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on Monday
Augie Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 seriously! Lol Update on Beane- 2nd intvw for him, he's the front runner Still bringing in candidates though, guy from GB is the latest But what does that have to do with.......oh Never mind. I'd like to get this over, but I'd like it even more if they get the next rising super star GM.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 so do we think Beane favors drafting QBs in the first round, or does he prefer to dumpster dive in the latter rounds? discuss
