WMDman Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 im one of the few on here that think Lamar will be a good QB, but they have stated many times they want a pocket passer
racketmaster Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 7 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: He can play from the pocket though. They aren’t going to be too stubborn to meet with a 1st round QB. That is negligent. As thorough as they have been I find that impossible, not unlikely. Imagine if he shows up and gets off to a start like Watson or RG and they didn’t even meet with him? They would never subject themselves to that type of criticism. They can certainly pick someone else but they will be on the firing line if they didn’t do their due diligence. That isn’t something Beane and McDermott would do. They are thorough. Yep, that’s why there is something there. That’s perfectly reasonable. There are different opinions on each of the qbs. There are a lot of scouts that don’t think Jackson is a qb (I’m not making this up and it is not just Bill Polian). Watson was a much more polished qb from inside the pocket and he is a better communicator and smarter. But all that does not matter, it has been plain to see the Bills are not interested in Jackson. It is what it is. Maybe they are wrong for not going after him but I trust this regime and I see what they are trying to do.
1billsfan Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Jackson's going to be a Buffalo Bill. No other reason to not meet with him other than it being a smokescreen. They want to keep as many picks as possible, they do not want to pay the heavy price to move up for one of the flawed "top" guys, so they pull a smokescreen on Lamar as a stopgap in hopes of keeping all of their high picks this year and still have next years #1.

That’s negligent. These guys wouldn’t do that. They absolutely carved out some time to talk to him and put him on the board. Maybe they crossed him off shortly thereafter but they aren’t going to make any assumptions without doing their due dilligence. They just don’t operate like that. There won’t be any self created blind spots.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 I hope his mama agent has him prepared for the big drop.
TOboy Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Fake news! Mama didn't have him meeting with anyone!
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 He met meeting with them on a visit or Pro Day. The Bills have no interest, he doesn't fit what they're looking for.

The Firebaugh Kid Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Hes Tyrod 2.0. Why would they. Great skill set but.... they want a pocket guy.
Cmdjr85 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 According to lombardi this is the most talented qb in the draft.

dave mcbride Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 There is no smokescreen. The Bills are 100 percent NOT drafting Lamar Jackson. That is blindingly obvious. 1

CountDorkula Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Lamar Jackson steals show at NFL Combine, meets with Buffalo Billshttp://www.newyorkupstate...s_with_buffalo_bills.html"When asked which teams he met with, the Buffalo Bills were the first team he mentioned. Jackson ran the Erhardt-Perkins offense at Louisville. That happens to be the same offense Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is scholed in. Jackson is more than confident he can command that offense in the NFL, too."
