BillsFan130 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Give me Oaklahoma QB Baker Mayfield and will be talking playoffs every year. He is taylor made for western NY. Blue Collar player with a attitude. You should be an NFL scout if you can predict these things... lol
PolishDave Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) You should be an NFL scout if you can predict these things... lol We heard it here that a guy who is 6'1" is too short to play QB in the NFL. So Baker Mayfield is out. He won't be able to throw over the middle. Edited October 3, 2017 by PolishDave

HT02 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I'm 4 shots of SoCo in and I still disagree... Its quite possible the four shots are the source of your disagreeability.... we've all been there
17 Josh Allen Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Give me Alex Smith and the Bills would be Super Bowl bound. I think the Bills should sign him in the offseason.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 You know we drafted Nate Peterman, right?
17 Josh Allen Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 You know we drafted Nate Peterman, right? That does not count. You need to draft one in the first 2 rounds come on man.
billsfan1959 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Watson 25-34 283 yards 4 TD passed, 1 rushing TD. 5 TD's in total. 25 rushing yards throwing deep like crazy. Will Fullers back 2TDs and they have Hopkins. The Houston coach called Watson the Michael Jordon of College Football. So they trade up to take him. The coach said you don't pass on this guy ever. Typical Bills just keep passing on QB's this is a QB driven league. No QB no playoffs. watch the Texans go to the playoffs and deep into them. Over the last two weeks Watson went 47/67 (70%) for 584 yards, 6 TDs, and 3 INTs against the 32nd and 29th ranked pass defenses (DVOA). He also went 27/47 (57%) for 227 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT the first two weeks against the 1st and 8th ranked pass defenses (DVOA) - with a 12/23 (52%) for 102 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT against the number one pass defense. I like Watson and think he is going to be a good NFL QB. However, I am not ready to annoint him the "Michael Jordan" of the NFL after four games - particularly when the last two have been against really bad pass defenses.

But there are also noticeable areas of growth from game 1 to game 4 on the tape. One of the great things about Deshaun is he is so obviously coachable. He will have dips this season, most rookie QBs do, the important thing is that Billy O doesn't get trigger happy again, sticks with him and takes his lumps where they come. It is for Texans good in the long term.
papazoid Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 passer rating: TT #7 DW#13 total QBR: TT #9 DW #1
GunnerBill Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 passer rating: TT #7 DW#13 total QBR: TT #9 DW #1 QBR loves a runner..... and if there is one thing everyone agrees on with both DW and TT...... they got legs!
Doc Brown Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 No **** $herlock... I guess I'm the only one who found this quip funny as I feel it deserves some recognition. Watson has that "it" factor in college and I was hoping the Bills would take a chance on him. Now that we didn't, I hope he has a career similar to Vince Young and RG3.
Mat68 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Watson entered probably the best situation a rookie QB could ask for. Decent run game, good wrs, and dominate D. I still do not understand how Savage was gifted the job. That team would be much better if Watson was the guy since the preseason.
BillsFan2313 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Watson will not be RGIII or Vince Young. Neither of them are close to being the person that Deshaun Watson is. He will stay grounded, stay humble and keep working hard. That is who he is. That is all he knows. It is fine for people to say it will take more than 2 games to convince that he is a future NFL star... I get that. But this kid is magic. He has something special. Agreed Gunner. Loved Watson coming out, and his first few games have helped solidify my belief that he will be a good one in this league. "We will get our guy next year"

Houston was a perfect landing spot though. Good WR's, decent RB's who are weapons in the passing game, great defense. Has OROY and 11-5 written all over it
Chicken Boo Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Nah. Can't be. I had all the experts on here tell me that Watson's 49 mph heater wasn't fast enough to be successful in the NFL.
BillsFan2313 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 This kind of thread is killing the board. Further even if you had put then it would have been wrong. Than is correct Folks, please stop with these baseless opinion LAMP/hot take threads. Wait wait wait. This type of thread is killing the board, but Orton on the wall of fame threads are ok? You definitely provide some great comedy, I will give you that.
Chicken Boo Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Watson entered probably the best situation a rookie QB could ask for. That would be Rayne Dakota Prescott.
GunnerBill Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wait wait wait. This type of thread is killing the board, but Orton on the wall of fame threads are ok? You definitely provide some great comedy, I will give you that. I think the OP's style was a little brusque... he always is... and can be a little repetitive and "drum banging" when he finds a particular hobby horse. However, what I think is a point in this thread is that there were a lot of people in the spring saying they didn't want to draft a QB high this April (whether Deshaun or someone else) because this class was poor and we should wait for the great 2018 class. I was sceptical of that view then and looking at where we sit 5 weeks into the CFB season I remain sceptical. This was never about whether Tyrod could lead us to the playoffs for me. It was that I thought there were guys in this draft with a genuine chance to be franchise QBs. Clearly none have proven that they are that yet. But the policy of punting on a QB again was one I really struggled to get behind in 2017... and that was mainly because I actually liked this class.
HappyDays Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Nah. Can't be. I had all the experts on here tell me that Watson's 49 mph heater wasn't fast enough to be successful in the NFL. Wait a few weeks before you puff your chest. I believe his ball placement issues will continue to be a problem and defenses will have better game plans to stop him moving forward. In the next 3 games he faces Kansas City and Seattle (and Cleveland in between). If he plays decently against those defenses that will be more impressive.
