I feel Mayfield would be but don't know too much about Darnold. I don’t think so. I said (and still say) that Darnold needed another year at USC. I think if he sat behind a guy like McCown that he’d be better for it. 1

He seems like he'd embrace it and fill that role very well. Didn't seem to be good enough for the Jets and their young QBs... 30 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Yeah it's becoming clear that our plan is to start the rookie sooner rather than later. That makes me think Josh Allen is out of the running, thank god. I think with the most recent move up and trading Taylor they are going after someone they feel can start day 1 and not sit.
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Somehow, some place Savior Peterman has to be excited some place until draft night lol
mileena Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: If this is true our only other choices are McCown and McCarron, right? Also Foles, Kaepernick, Glennon, Smith, Siemian, Savage, Moore, Anderson, Henne, and Sanchez.

I can't see McDermott going with a guy he doesn't think he can win with. If you're drafting a kid in the top 5 I'm guessing you prefer him to start right away. 1

If we lose in the horse trading and don't get our guy, will it bring a smile to your face when you realize you have to watch Josh McCown for the next season or two and suck out 8-8? Just remember, as pretty as these kids look in shorts throwing at air, only one, possibly NONE of them are going to be franchise . It doesn’t matter if we get it wrong. You could be 8-8 with McCown, McCarron, Bradford, etc... The guy that could make a difference is the guy that you are drafting. Obviously they have to get it right and they are going to use a huge amount of draft capital to get the guy. We just dumped a guy that was 23-20 (or something like that). The Bills aren’t dying to get a guy that can replicate that. The future of the position for this team is going to be Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold, Allen or Jackson. Some of them will work and some won’t.

Maybe should have kept him 1 more year I thought for sure that they had something other than trading up the draft board for a better lottery ticket as a plan once they traded Tyrod. This is questionable manuevering by Beane IMO - I'll let it shake out, but the solid Veteran options are just about dried up and now we've got Nate Peter...man what the hell are you doing?!!!! and Joe Webb on the roster and in a desperate situation to get another QB through a trade and/or draft. 1

If they get this wrong, it sets the franchise back, a lot. They have traded away a lot of assetts to get to the point they are at now, and will be dealing more to move up again. If they didn't feel their guy could start right away, they wouldn't be left standing around with Peterman as their only option on the roster and digging through the sloppy seconds of the FA market. If they get someone who needs time to develop and don't have someone to start now, it will set them back. 1

I can make an argument for yes and no. They could pick a non-QB at #6 and get a 2nd tier guy later. What do you guys think? It's pretty tough to say. I mean if you are the Jets you probably tell Bridgewater man your injury it great that you fought back from that but we have to have insurance. Maybe they go with a 2nd tier guy I dunno.

One would have to think after Bridgewater the Jet's are not moving up. Denver probably isn't moving up either. Makes #4 a lot less risky for the Bills.

They could move up because he's most likely a 1 year rental. I think you still have to watch out for the Phins and Zona trying to move up but at this point, they can't offer what we can. That move to 12 was very critical.

If they get someone who needs time to develop and don't have someone to start now, it will set them back. They started Peterman and benched Tyrod in the middle of the season - let's not call the Bills' brass genius. That was a huge error in judgment - if they should have benched anyone at that time they should have started with the OL and Defense - even though Tyrod was not playing particularly well in the two games before he was benched. So the Bills have and likely still do have a high opinion of Peterman - just let that sink in - and they are the guys looking for the franchise QB. I know these guys took the team to the playoffs - but let's not get too excited about a team that was playing well above its talent level, has a roster that continues to be gutted (starting LT and QB have been traded for pick/position) and squeaked in on an improbable 4th and forever TD by a team that was playing for nothing. That Bills team last year wasn't that good and really they don't have a lot of young pieces to build around. This team is not better without Glenn and Taylor - its worse and it will be unlikely that they even sniff the playoffs this year. Sure they saved some salary and they have picks - but those things don't win games - just ask the Browns. I'm really surprised they are not trying to move Shady - they may be, but at this point the cost of his contract is probably making trade offers nearly worthless. I'm just resigned to the fact that they are most likely going to get worse QB play in 2018 than they've had the past 3 years and Shady isn't going to be able to hold up as well because of age and mileage, and let's not even get started about the TEs and WRs. Outside of Benjamin (who may have chronic knee problems) this team is not very talented at all at WR or TE. Edited March 13, 2018 by Ayjent

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Anyone think we might have bushwhacked the Jets deal for Bridgewater and that's why they sell signed McCown or do you think they will sign both ?
