26CornerBlitz Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 You've heard offensive minds referred to as "quarterback whisperers." Well, the week between the NFL Scouting Combine and the start of free agency is the time for "whispering about quarterbacks." Rumors are omnipresent. The conversations coming out of Indianapolis from journalists and executives are as spicy and juicy as the shrimp cocktail and steaks at St. Elmo's Steak House. So let's name names and take some chances. Here are our predictions for where nine big-name quarterbacks (in both free agency and the draft) will end up, listed in the order that the deals will happen, Schein Nine style. We start with some huge free-agent signings and then move through the 2018 NFL Draft: 1) Kirk Cousins to the Vikings 2) Case Keenum to the Broncos 3) AJ McCarron to the Browns 4) Teddy Bridgewater to the Jets 5) Sam Darnold to the Browns 7) Josh Rosen to the Jets 8) Baker Mayfield to the Dolphins 9) Lamar Jackson to the Bills Jackson is a quarterback worth drafting in the first round. No more words need to be added to that sentence. I don't want to hear about the former Heisman Trophy winner switching positions. It's offensive. OK, so Jackson completed less than 60 percent of his passes in his college career -- so did Josh Allen. I don't care about either statistical mark. Even if the Bills are unable to trade up for one of the top four quarterback prospects in the draft, they still have two first-round picks (Nos. 21 and 22), meaning they'll be able to get their signal-caller of the future in Jackson (who would also make a lot of sense for the Chargers, Jaguars and Steelers). And Jackson will get his chance to stick it to everyone who ever questioned him coming out of Louisville. 1
Buffalo716 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Everybody seems to be linking Jackson to the Bills because we have TT and they are similar But everything at this time is all smokescreens and I wouldn't trust a word 2

The links have nothing to do with Tyrod. 1
Lfod Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) I myself don't feel like the Bills are making any huge leaps. I could see this happening. I would not hate it. It's trying something anyway. Edited March 7, 2018 by Lfod 1

I mean I definitely think having a mobile QB here for the last 3 years feeds the comparisons and assumptions nobody is linking Lamar Jackson to the Saints but Baker is Edited March 7, 2018 by Buffalo716
ColoradoBills Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 1) Kirk Cousins to the Vikings 2) Case Keenum to the Broncos 3) AJ McCarron to the Browns 4) Teddy Bridgewater to the Jets 5) Sam Darnold to the Browns 7) Josh Rosen to the Jets8) Baker Mayfield to the Dolphins 9) Lamar Jackson to the Bills Tannehill and Peterman..........................where is SaviorPeterman?
Paulus Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 What is the wager on Jackson to the Bills? Should I have to eat my underwear if he does come to Buffalo in the first? I mean, it'd be like double the punishment for me. More importantly, can I eat my underwear to prevent him from coming to Buffalo?

Is the eating of the undies in a video?

If I was a younger man, I would wager it. However, I'd be willing to risk the constipation to keep that guy off the Bills. Practically, I think the ungie eating would have to be done in tiny ungies swatches over a month or so, while the loser wore a Mexican wrestler mask ('cause we don't want to be blackmailed professionally. Haha). Edited March 7, 2018 by Paulus

Also some kind of cliche Mexican themed song in the background then. I was joking anyway it's just your wager/pledge triggered me. Edited March 7, 2018 by Lfod
billspro Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I think out of all of the top 8 QBs in the draft, Jackson would be the least exciting for me. His accuracy is a huge red flag for me. 2

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I wonder what the kickbacks are for the spread of info sometimes.
TC in St. Louis Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 My favorite for this team is Baker Mayfield. He's a winner. I was watching live when he played Kansas and was caught on camera grabbing his sack in their general direction. I didn't know at the time that the Kansas team refused to shake his hand at the coin toss....in front of kids. Low class. But Baker, on the field, is a winner. He probably grew up more following that nut grab than anything else he went through. However, if they don't move up, I don't have a problem with them taking Jackson. The guy won a Heisman and is a world class athlete. He might end up like Deshaun Watson. Don't rule it out. Kid is a stud.
DallasMac Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 If it isn't one of the top 4 then I say pass and draft bpa 1
NickelCity Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I swear to god if the Jets get Rosen and the fish get Mayfield I'm going to lose it. 5 1

It's true that Tyrod being a running QB may sway the opinions of some toward Jackson, but there really are not an abundance of alternatives given the constraints I mentioned.
