Sky Diver Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Rosen was 18 - 20 with UCLA. It’s ridiculous to think that one guy can carry a team on his shoulders. As good as a QB might be, he needs talent around him. Oh, and McCarron was 36 - 4. 2
CircleTheWagons99 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 The realism is, nobody knows anything until the game is played. NFL and College are not level playing grounds. 2
Sky Diver Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 Even with Rosen, who is largely believed to be a savior by many here, UCLA was a mediocre team. Why do you think that he would make a mediocre team great in the NFL?
NickelCity Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Rosen has great field vision and can make all the throws - accurately. He needs to improve his pocket awareness and his concussions scare me. But he was the only one giving UCLA a chance in games. I'm not impressed with that program at all.

They were 18 - 20 so he didn’t give them nearly enough chances.

Perhaps a bit, but the point remains that to be successful, you need to build a team. Isn’t the old adage that games are won and lost in the trenches? 1
#34fan Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I dunno... I was impressed by Darnold's accuracy, and overall performance at USC pro-day... He was spinning a soaking-wet ball in a rainstorm like it was NOTHING. I'm not a Josh Rosen or Allen guy... TBH, I don't LOVE any of these QB's as our first overall... BUT, if I HAD to pick, it'd be Darnold. -Hands down.
Sky Diver Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 What if we drafted the two stud ND offensive lineman in the first and a QB and a MLB in the 2nd?
KingRex Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 My guess is that McD has a realistic view of the situation in that he and his on field braintrust bring a lot to the table and it was no accident he has cultivated a winning attitude which brought this team to the playoffs!!! But, he simply sucks at young QB development and also has let his hope of winning overwhelm his football intelligence when he stupidly asked a 5th round drafted rookie to lead the team to the playoffs. My sense is this means two things: 1. I doubt he is drafting a QB with an expectation that player is going to contribute much to the 2018 Bills on the field 2. Rosen leading his college team to an 18-20 record is gonna count heavily in McDs mind as he works to build a winners' ethic here in Buffalo.

So McCarron is the guy. 3 hours ago, Sky Diver said: What if we drafted the two stud ND offensive lineman in the first and a QB and a MLB in the 2nd? With Mccarron and Peterman on board there is no need to draft another similar player in the second.
GunnerBill Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Here is the 'Bama homer to tell us McCarron is the man. Don't judge college Quarterbacks by their win-loss. Even less so than NFL Quarterbacks. Judge them by the traits in their game you see on tape and evaluating how those translate to the pro game. 3

Wayne Cubed Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 So basically the Bills should carry on doing what they've been doing for the past 21 years. It's been working so well for them, I don't see a problem with this at all. 1

You start with the premise of avoiding guys from crap programs then shift to advocating taking TWO from ND? Holy 180 Batman!
Chuck Wagon Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 If only the academic standards at UCLA were more like Bama.
