Adjusted completion rate. Really? That's for losers. His completion rate is for multiple years. How far back are you going to go with an adjusted completion rate? Do or don't do, there is no try. 

Adjusted completion percentage has its issues but it’s certainly better to attempt to adjust for drops and throwaways than to pretend a perfect pass that’s dropped is worse than a bad pass that’s caught. 

 

Neither one necessarily measures how good a player’s ball placement is but people smarter than you or I have tracked that as well and determined that Lamar’s ball placement is roughly average compared to the rest of the class, which in combination with his running ability should make him a very promising prospect IMO.

Maybe, but not in the first round. I tend to believe you are what your record says you are. Not a bunch of looking back in the rearview mirror and making adjustments.

You would not have liked John Elway then.  “His” record was under .500 his senior season.

I think what we saw of Josh Allen in the senior bowl is more of who he is than what went on at Wyoming. This kid has legit talent and out of the top 6 QB’s, he’s the one I’m least concerned about. Rosen is still my top QB talent wise, but his question marks outweigh the inaccuracy questions surrounding Allen.

The scout talks about "knowing what they're doing" when talking about Allen's sh*t completion percentage, but then knocks Jackson for his? A bit contra-dick-tory you might say. He says Mayfield is not athletic? He seems quite elusive on the field at times and takes off running when needed having enough speed to outrun LB's on occassion. Just because he got caught by the police on that one bounce doesn't mean he's like Tom Brady back there. The comparisons seem decent on a serious note though, but I am also on the Mayfield bandwagon so I disagree there. Jackson and Griffin though? No way. Jackson is way more electric as a runner than Griffin ever hoped to be. Griffin may have been the better passer though.

Obviously by every standard Baker is a very athletic kid. He is a Division 1 QB and a small one at that, he is obviously very athletically gifted 

 

but for NFL standards he isn't that great of an athlete. Probably in the bottom 10-12 athletically wise if you were to rank him out of 32 starting QBs. 

 

But i don't think that's an issue

He can play from the pocket and make progressions. 

 

As long as he can pick up the nfl game speed and find his throwing lanes hell be good.

I really don't care who the Bills draft at QB. I have to assume they'll get the right guy. That said I've seen the "running" QB, and how difficult it has been to try to make him stay in the pocket when things get dicy. So of all the top prospects I fear Jackson the most.

Not Nick Stevens?

 

name is too generic.

 

Armani Rogers? that's a superstar name.

 

Ty Gangi is pretty legit of a name too.

 

Brett Rypien is also Mark Rypien's nephew, so maybe we should go with him instead, you know, because the bloodline and all.

Can't teach attitude and can't teach accuracy.

 

I don't have the details like some of you guys got but I think spending a lot of capital on a QB who can't complete 60%+ in college or who have reputations for being "brats" isnt ideal.
