Jackson has the passing skills and quick instincts to make them pay. A lot of people are underestimating his passing skills, which improved last year. He's going to be a top 10 QB in a few years. 1
Boatdrinks Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 The Bills may end up drafting Jackson, but it wouldn't be due to Beane " forcing" him on anyone. If Jackson is the pick at QB, it will mean they had to go from plan A to plan D.

Beane would not have been trying to move up to the 3 spot to draft Jackson. Rumor was they had Jackson as the 2nd rated QB on their board after combine.

Injuries happen and thank God he's been forced to retire, rather than put himself in harm's way. But the recent developments surrounding Incognito's abrupt retirement make me wonder ... Did Beane lowball Incognito in an effort to make him quit? Now that we've got a decimated O Line - AND an obvious need for a QB - my greatest fear is that this was choreographed by Beane in order to force Lamar Jackson onto McDermott. With our current situation, an "exciting playmaking" QB who relies on his legs is the only type of QB who could possibly succeed with the O Line we're going to field. McCarron is going to get killed back there. Jackson seems to be a Bills fan favorite (not mine) and A LOT of Bills fans were pissed about trading Tyrod away. This would please a lot (perhaps majority) of the fan base. I don't think McDermott liked Tyrod and I can't see him wanting Jackson. But he wants to win games more than sell tickets. Maybe Beane sees Jackson as a way to accomplish both. As the title states - this is pure speculation/guessing on my part. But it's my biggest fear and I hope it's not the case. Either way, I'll keep trusting the process. Go Bills. If you believe in conspiracies may I recommend the TV show the X-Files. It should satisfy your conspiratorial tendencies when you have these deep and dark thoughts. The major attraction of that show is Dana Scully. I'm confident that you would take notice of her impressive rack. Although you will be distracted when you try to figure out what is going on.
Stanley Lombardi Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Doug Marrone's daughter holds the key to all of this speculation. Whaley knows what I am saying, and the Pegulas are complicit in the cover-up. Beane and McDermott are rugs brought in to sweep the dirt under. John Murphy knows all, but is unassailable. The answer is contained in this question: Why was Mike Tolbert on this team? Edited April 11, 2018 by Blue on Blue

Beane has never seemed to like McDermott and it wouldn't surprise me at all that he would force a QB on the HC. Forcing Incognito into retirement is obviously part of the overall plot. In fact, I've heard that Whaley has been whispering in Beane's ear, functioning as some type of counsel, ex-GM to new GM. Lord only knows what Whaley is telling him to do! Whaley is Wormtongue?

uticaclub Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I'm just afraid he sees Lamar Jackson as the next Cam Newton

MJS Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 What? You can't actually believe that. You just want some attention?
Big Turk Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I dont see this regime as being that short sighted to worry about what would happen in year 1 because of some unfortunate incidents.
transplantbillsfan Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Jesus this is idiotic. Yes, we might draft Jackson. But your theory for motives is nuts.

What if the plan is trade all our other capital to have 6 first rounders next year, draft Jackson with our only remaining first rounder, knowing we will be awful, and tank-away to ensure getting Lock next year?? Yeah. I know it sounds crazy. It's still probably more plausible than the OP thinking Beane would decimate the OLine to "force" Jackson into McDermott, since Beane can draft whoever he wants, no matter what McD thinks.
DCOrange Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 To me, Lamar is the best QB in this draft, but come on man lol. This is a ridiculous theory.
QBorBust2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Lamar could end up being a good slot receiver for this team after he fails at the QB position. Worth a chance at 22 1

Why do Buffalo fans always like to bring up tanking? Do you really enjoy losing that much or are just so used to it you don't know any better?
