HumbleAndHungry Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Jackson in a Read option with Shady could be lethal
Real McClappy Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Just now, Bob Chandler's Hands said: Some guy named OJ Simpson won it in 1968 and I believe he played for the Bills at one point. So OJ and Flutie = both were decent players. Are we allowed to say that about OJ here? It reminds me of the time I brought up Hitler when on a trip in Germany.

It reminds me of the time I brought up Hitler when on a trip in Germany. OJ is without question one of the top 5 running backs in history, so I'd say yes you can say he was decent.

There are many damn good football players outside the QB position- I think there is a shot Jackson slides that far. And didn't Vick go top 5? Jackson is better then VIck in his prime. I would be happy if we Jackson is a Bill We're you dropped on your head as a child? 1

IDK, TT left way to many plays on the field slip by and the McD system did not agree with it any longer. I'm excited to see which direction we go on 4/26 and will buy into what they do. ...just curious bud.....would you prefer a mobile Jackson type over a perhaps quasi prototypical pocket passer type, despite many of the upper echelon being of a spread/Air Raid variety?....for me without the luxury of seeing collegiate ball, I have no idea which faction better suits the pro game and MORE importantly, what the McBeane, McD & McDaboll trio is shopping for...comments?...........
Beast Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Jackson has a good arm but his throws are a little too flat for my liking. In the NFL I think he will be a pick machine unless he learns the art of putting some air under his intermediate to long throws.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) One thing I can't get over is they passed on Deshaun Watson last year. Now Beane wasn't here yet so maybe that means something, but why pass on Watson, trade Taylor, and then draft Jackson. It doesn't make much sense. Their actions show they want a pocket passer.

JAMIEBUF12 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 The reason I would be against Lamar Jackson is this.....I’d rather draft a pocket passer so that if anything bad ever did happen to AJ it would be next man up.I think good teams pick a scheme and identity and draft players for that system..That seems to translate to long term success...GO BILLS 1

I love the Air-Raid Baker ran at Oklahoma. He can run a RPO, can make reads and execute quick pass options. We might need some better pass blocking from the TE and FB positions though to help him if we went this route. Rosen is still hands down my #1 guy as he can run a pro style, spread or just about any offense scheme all day. This guy is legit from the pocket and can make all the throws, cannon of a arm. His injury history is my biggest concern though. How about yourself? I really liked this Rosen article from Fox that came from FANSIDED. Was a really well done piece.. https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/ucla-football-is-josh-rosen-a-sure-fire-franchise-quarterback-053017 Edited March 18, 2018 by Real McCoy
reddogblitz Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I thought Beans and Coach McDermott wanted a pocket passer. 1

I know (newly retired) Bruce Arians supposedly loves him. I think the trade with Cincy happened for multiple reasons. But... Could part of the reason be that Beane wanted to trade up in front of Arizona? (Although I think that is likely even if Jackson isn't the target, simply because Arizona is definitely in the QB market). To me, if Mayfield is still available after Denver’s pick, they should start trying to trade up. 1

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Do the Bills like Jackson? Does Coach see him as sort of a clone of Watson? If that's the case, it may well explain why they moved up, hoping Jackson's still available, and not because they hope to use their considerable resources to move up further.

Wouldnt be suprised if the Bills take him top 5?! Smoke screen bc no one has mentioned him to the bills? So by that lodgic mayfield is right there with him...Uhhhh Not to mention that the author also speculated that Polian would jeopardize his entire career by putting out a falsehood just to help the Bills land the kid in the draft. Preposterous. Edited March 18, 2018 by ChevyVanMiller 1

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 It would be the smokescreen of the century if they did take him. If you're not going to get their chance at a top three or four Target then I would start taking a look at Rudolph, White, Falk, Lauletta, and others.

On a serious note though I think the drafting of Peterman last year was a sign they prefer a pocket guy. Who knows? We'll see in a matter of 6 weeks.
