I just have a strong opinion on the matter; I absolutely live for the emotional rollercoaster every Bills season and the fun narratives and discussion on this board. I clown around in the offseason, and don't want to clown around for over a year. I want to talk about our favorite Bills stories and whatnot. Totally understand. To me the mediocre seasons feel like 3 win seasons anyhow. As big of a fan as I am there have been years with JP, Trent, and Fitz where I didn't even watch the games. I like QB's and not having one kills me. Maybe they get one but it's going to cost a ton of picks. No I'm not a fan of trading up but if that's what we have to do to get someone then that is the situation we now find ourselves in.

Felt all off season he is the best prospect next to Darnold Then you wouldn't agree with the article, if you think he's the "best prospect next to darnold" then you don't think he's #1, you think darnold is, but the article says Mayfield is #1

The overall rankings are: 1. Baker Mayfield (4th highest they've had dating back to 1997, behind only Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer, and Donovan McNabb) 2. Lamar Jackson 3. Josh Rosen 4. Sam Darnold 5. Mason Rudolph 6. Luke Falk 7. Kyle Lauletta 8. Josh Allen like I've said stay clear of Allen 1

I guess I'm pretty apathetic at the QB position in regards to my enjoyment watching the game. Love seeing freak athlete plays rather than a QB methodically hitting open receivers. Don't get me wrong, I want that QB but a game dogging it out with freak plays, Hughes making a clutch sack strip to seal the game, Tre White intercepting over Gronk, Shady dancing, Robert Woods double run blocking safeties for a Shady run.. that's my enjoyment of the game, so long as we win. I've been crusading about getting a freak WR cause I love circus catches. That said I'm young enough where my first experience was crying as a kid watching the music city miracle so I don't really know what good QB play looks like lol. Counterpoint: Browns Bills 6-3 with Derek Anderson like 2 for 20 was horrible to watch. 1

bouds Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Allen is EJ Manuel. Looks good in a uniform, some physical ability, but he's just not a good QB. You have to fool yourself into believing he's going to be a completely different QB at the NFL, it's just not a likely outcome. 1
jkirchofer Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 I honestly don't care if we trade up or draft a QB at 12, anyone of the eight listed are capable of being a franchise quarterback. Whoever it is, I want them to come into preseason with some swagger, with some confidence, and to act like a damn leader. This is a playoff team. They need someone out front to let the league and the rest of the world know that they are going to take that next step.

jrober38 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Mayfield is the only player in 15 years to post a college QBR Rating above 90 in back to back years. The only players to surpass that mark: Andrew Luck Marcus Mariota Sam Bradford Cam Newton Russell Wilson Jameis Winston Johnny Manziel Mayfield is going to be a really good pro.
jdonley1180 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Wasn't Schatz one of the few analysts that went out on a limb by saying Russel Wilson should be a 1st round draft pick? 1
Rad Likes The Bills Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Jackson at 12 and we will straight for a decade
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I just keep seeing things about Lamar Jackson coming up short in allot of areas and higher ups and GMs really not taking him seriously as a QB. Apparently his mother is Representing him and telling him not to run the 40 at his pro day as well which just seems stupid to me. I have watched multiple Louisville games and it always seemed when the competition was good he struggled. Where as Deshaun Watson would rise to the occasion. Saw him always trying to make the big play and rarely checking down. He did keep his eyes down field when rolling out. Missed allot of throws though. Many have said his mechanics need allot of work and his accuracy just isn't there. I know someone will show a highlight reel of all the throws he can make, I'm just not sold mostly because I am continually reading things calling him a huge project. Mayfield's height scares me, but I love his gamer mentality very Phillip Rivers like minus the height. Rosen has poise and great mechanics as well as accuracy absolutely love this guy. Darnold has great creativity, but again seems to always try to hit the home run instead of live to play another day. Allen is raw with a cannon could be great could be terrible only time will tell. Rudolph can probably be a solid QB in the right system I don't see him being a superstar.

I've been struggling with this as well. It's his decision, but why forego an agent? They know the process, the teams, the front office personnel, etc. etc.

I get it he doesn't want to be key holed into being just a running QB but at some time you have to flash the goods. Am I Right?

It's an asset, and in these workouts, you can reinforce that to teams. His mother may have his best interests at heart, but this is the wrong time and place to be managing your sons business. Hire a professional. 1 minute ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: There is so much evidence for Baker Mayfield being the number one QB it's ridiculous that he is not. Just add TWO INCHES and it not even a discussion. I'm starting to agree. Tape don't lie, and I think he's got all the other QB prospects beat there. Look at Russel Wilson's scouting report. The pros are all there "Can make every throw", "commands offense", "playmaker", "arm strength". The con was that he was short. 1

And we will be dumb if we don't try to get him. Walking on to Texas Tech and beating out all those QBs and then saying to yourself , "I'm better than this" and doing the exact same thing at Oklahoma says all you need to know about the man. 1

The knuckle heads running NFL teams need to improve their QB selection criteria.
