Doug got mother!@#$ed by Rex Expand Well, Doug hired Rex, so it's his responsibility in the long run. And don't give me that Whaley was overruled by the Pegulas. They were still young and inexperienced. If he'd taken them aside and told them he couldn't work with Rex and that Rex wasn't going to be able to work with the defensive personnel there as he said, they'd almost certainly have listened to him. He was their guy at that time. And as I've pointed out many times, the starters on that defense were virtually all Nix guys, with a couple pre-Nix. The Whaley guys were non-entities ... Preston Brown and Brandon Spikes if I remember correctly. If that's your idea of truffles and fois gras, you're not hired as my personal shopper. Edited April 17, 2018 by Thurman#1

Like him or not, Drew was a franchise type QB. Great special teams play. Fans forget that team averaged nearly 40 points a game on that five game stretch towards the end. I think it was the most well rounded team since Jim Kelly was the QB.

At least I hope that is the case. They have a really good mix of old school and new school on both the coaching staffs and scouting staffs. I still think they want Darnold or Rosen, but that could simply be my hope. Perhaps all this stuff about Rosen is being put out there by the Bills so they can grab him in that 7-10 range. Maybe they realized they can't trade up, so the best they could do is try to get their guy to slide. Can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Ones with a mid-later 1st and comfortable about their playoff standings giving up 2 1sts for Rosen. I have a hard time believing he'll slide that far. Cardinals / Saints / Chargers / Steelers / Pats could all be reasonable teams to move up and get him. Edited April 17, 2018 by Chuck Wagon

Chuck Wagon Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Trade 12 / 53 / 96 (1,686 points) for #6 (1,600 points). Take Rosen Trade 22 / 56 / 65 (1,385 points) for one of 8/9/10 (1,400 - 1,300 points). Take one of Roquan / Fitzpatrick / Edmonds / James. Profit. Edited April 17, 2018 by Chuck Wagon

Expand Generational QB prospect? So in other words, he's a once in a generation QB and better than Luck, Wentz, Wilson, Newton, Stafford, Matt Ryan, or any other QB who has come out in the past 10 (ish) years...? He hasnt even played a single season in the NFL yet, and by all accounts he wouldn't even be one of the top 4 QBs this year. He also wasn't graded among the top 10 QBs in the past 3 drafts.
