If Bills give up as much as 4 or 5 picks for a QB

And no, I wouldn't mind a bit if they gave him a year on the bench. The higher you get a guy the more you need to develop him correctly and carefully. 

 

Quick question: who are the elite QBs in the league right now? Brady, surely. Brees? Rodgers? Philip Rivers? Carson Palmer last year? Can we agree on those? Wanna leave Rivers and Palmer out? What do they all have in common?

They were all drafted over a decade ago... ?

 

Quick question: who are all the QBs of the NFL who will dominate the league for the next decade and be thrust into that "elite QB" conversation, if they aren't already there? Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, surely. Matt Ryan? Stafford? Carr? Newton? Wentz? Goff? Prescott? Mariota?

 

What do they all have in common?

 

All drafted within the last 10 years.  All started year 1... a few sat a handful of games, but all were under center taking fire by the end of their rookie years.

 

It's a new league.  What Kansas City did last year was the exception to the new norm.  And they had the luxury of doing it with a pretty good starter at QB.

 

Yeah, and they're all males and have ten fingers too.

 

The important thing they have in common, as I already filled in above, is that they all took at least a year on the bench at the start of their career, a healthy year on the bench.

 

And Brady, Brees and Rodgers are probably the three single best QBs in the league right now, and Rivers and Palmer two of the top six or seven last year.

 

And putting guys on the bench for a year has never been the norm. It's always been too easy to bend to pressure and put him out there. It's only the best teams and situations that generally manage it. 

 

Putting them out quickly may well be the new norm, as it's always been the norm. Which would be too bad for many QBs who might have been able to make major improvements in a lower-pressure environment without worrying more about the pressure to score points and move the offense next week rather than to do the things they need to do to become better quarterbacks. When the best three in the league have done something like that, it just might mean something.

 

Not every guy needs it. But many do and nearly anyone coming out of today's college game where most teams have the whole team looks to the sideline to read plays off cards could probably improve an awful lot, where many if most QBs read one side of the field most of the time and where many or most spend no time under center and don't have more than one or two reads could absolutely use the time to great advantage.

Lynn was offense coach and I doubt he was the one who knew how to exploit Mills other than knowing his strengths and weaknesses which I think most DCs know.

 

He's the head coach there.
