I’d rather have Nate Peterman under center than Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.

don't worry you will get your wish cause none of them will be under center next year for the Bills.

I do believe he will be the best rookie. I don't know about long term but if I wanted to win in the short I'd take Jackson.

 

Was just saying this to my buddy. I think Lamar could be ROY but have short window in the league.

Quick story from the parade in New Orleans yesterday. We had our Bills tent set up and had a lot of random Bills fans stopped by. This guy in jorts walked up and was talking with one of the guys. “I’m just glad Tyrod is gone. Now we can play a white QB.” That guy was a season ticket holder from Arcade. That guy (and a large group of Bills fans) will be furious if they add another black QB. 

 

Personally I don’t care what the QB looks like as long as he wins. We would be naive to pretend that it isn’t a reason that some people don’t like Jackson. I just wish people would own it like that guy in the jorts.

Owning it is not what many of those types of people will do.  They will duck, dodge and deny; hide  behind their stated "reasons."  Some of the most non-respectable,  ignorant, useless people walking the earth.

 

Anyway, here's to Beane and co. finding a QB they believe they can win with regardless of their ethnic background.  If that's Rosen or Rudolph, cool.  If that's Jackson, cool.  WTF difference does it make?

I'm quite comfortable staying at 12 to select Jackson. He shows as much promise as the other 1st round prospects and we need to keep our other picks for an aging roster

This is exactly the pathway the Bills should take.  Stay at 12, take Lamar Jackson.  Let him develop more physically and learn the offense.  Play him in certain packages to get him time in game situations.

 

Use 22 for a top linebacker such as Leighton Vander Esch or Rasean Evans.

 

Use 53 and 56 on OL and WR

 

Use 65 and 96 on CB and DT

 

Six potential contributors at position of need and how do the Bills look in relation to the Jets and Dolphins.

I fully endorse this strategy.

As do I. If you truly study the film, its hard not to see the talent Jackson has. His inaccuracy seems to be from footwork, not bad decisions or arm talent. He throws w/ ease & looks very trainable. 

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

the Red Skins sports media wants him which is another reason to say pass.

As do I.  I do not see that much difference in potential from most of these projected first round QBs.  Certainly not enough to spend valuable draft capital to move up to get one.  As it now stands, Bills would be moving up to get the 4th best (rated QB).  Take Lamar at 12.  If he fails, Bills aren't out that much but will have opportunities to vastly improve the team with all the draft capital they have accumulated.  Seems like a worthwhile gamble to me.

Starting with “JUST” implies we are settling. Is there a worse possible idea, both in terms of language and football?

I think Lamar Jackson is like the 7 or 8 QB on The Bean Borard, I see the Jets taking him with the 3rd pick and looking like fools.

3rd is too high for him I agree....I dont think it is too high for the 22 pick

I actually have him as #5. Agree not worth trading up & he's probably there @ 22 but maybe not. With the strong need for QBs in this draft, I'd be ok taking him @ 12.

[OldTimer1960]

While Jackson has some scud misses on tape, he also has some damn fine throws plus he isTHE most dynamic running QB that I have ever seen (and I’ve been watching since since 1970).  Can he clean up those horrible throws?  I don’t know, but I’d rather risk pick 12 on him (or Rudolph) than trade 3 firsts + for any other QB in the draft.

What if the Browns take Jackson...with Tyrod as there QB.... their playing styles would be the same and the offensive philosofy would not change....just a thought

I said this in another thread. My gut feeling all along had been the Bills love Lamar Jackson. When they moved up to 12, I switched to thinking they are trading up again. After the Jets trade to 3, I believe my gut feeling was right. The Bills moved up to 12 for Jackson. Another trade up to get Roquan Smith would be amazing. 

oh yeah that's why move no. one was trading tt who could have mentored lamar.  yep

Pick 65 for Tyrod is selling high. That is a massive compensation for a 6th round career backup to Joe Flacco that you got for free. Probably one of the best (and only) things that Rex Ryan did for this franchise.

 

I don't think anyone would prefer Tyrod mentoring someone at QB to that pick.

Yes, Rogers or Luck or Stafford  would be worth 3 ones, but NOT any of these neophytes.  I think we can get back to playoffs by reloading with our picks, even if we have to go with either of the two QBs we have today, and we'll score more than 3 points.

I like Lamar he is gone in the top 15. He has every tool. He is the next Mike Vick. 

taking the league by storm is the new age running qb! it will take defenses years to figure it out!  1990 says hell yeah!
