firstngoal Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Jauron would take Stafford...Tom Kowalski of MLive reports that if Bills' head coach Dick Jauron had to make the choice for Lions with the first overall pick, he would go with Georgia QB Matt Stafford...I think it's common sense, I don't think it's great insight, but you'd better find a quarterback," Jauron said. MLive http://www.eastcoastsportsnews.com/als09scoop.html Do you think Lions fans are happy that Dickie isn't their coach.
VOR Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Should we care what Lions fans think? And is Jauron wrong to think that the Lions need a QB?
Sisyphean Bills Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 It worked for the Dolphins last year. Oh wait...
VOR Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 It worked for the Dolphins last year. Oh wait... Perhaps the Lions will be fortunate enough to have a Chad Pennington fall into their laps. Like Parcells predicted would happen.
The Dean Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I think this shows that Jauron SAYS he would draft Stafford if he were the Lions. I don't think he would, though.
Cynical Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Should we care what Lions fans think? And is Jauron wrong to think that the Lions need a QB? No. But Jauron's history with rookie QB's is beginning to look like a text book example of how NOT do something.
VOR Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 No. But Jauron's history with rookie QB's is beginning to look like a text book example of how NOT do something. Huh? Based on Cade McNown, who was a collossal screw-up, and Trent, who looked good until his concussion last year?
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 It worked for the Dolphins last year. Oh wait... No instead the Dolphins passed on Matt Ryan. Who in his first year looks damn good. Like he could be a franchise QB for years. Then the Falcons traded back up and got a starting LT in Baker. I am so sick of people thinking Parcells is a genius. Fact is he missed the boat on Ryan. Plain and simple. Ask any owner or GM and they would tell you the same thing. Would you rather have a draft like the Falcons did last year or one like the Dolphins did? You still have no clue if Henne is a starter in this league. Where as the Falcons look to have their starting QB and LT for years to come.

All that is easy to say now that the draft is over and players have played...Ryan was no lock going into the draft last year...People act like GM's are fortune tellers and can see the future... Not to mention, Miami already had young QB's and got Henne too plus an anchor for the O Line and they won the division...not a bad first year. How you could say he blew anything is beyond me...
Steely Dan Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I think this shows that Jauron SAYS he would draft Stafford if he were the Lions. I don't think he would, though. Maybe another hope of starting the draft in the right direction for the Bills? No. But Jauron's history with rookie QB's is beginning to look like a text book example of how NOT do something. What?

So, what you are saying is that there is only one way to go...
2003Contenders Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 So what would Jauron do if Stafford somehow fell to #11?
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 So, what you are saying is that there is only one way to go... What i am syaing is that he could have and should have done it the other way around. I spoke with one NFL scout last year, who btw came from INDY, and was there when they drafated Peyton. He had Ryan graded out as the same as Peyton. Now i did not believe him. But after the first game heck the first throw of Ryans career, i started becoming a believer. Right now the Falcons have two proven pieces for success in the NFL. A starting LT and a great QB. Dolphins have a starting LT and an unknown at QB. What would you rather have going into the next couple of years of your franchise????

His head coach gig didn't work out with BUF, but I shake my head at folks that call him a quitter when he left. Wilson & Co. stripped him of his staff save a few. Same as in general business when such happens, he saw that his knees were capped and left graciously. Knowing that he was rendered impotent and was in the crosshairs.

Hearing a post like this one makes me bring up the Tom Brady defense. Were all other 31 teams that didnt take Brady wrong? How about was Hoodie wrong the first 5 times he passed up on him? CMON they are not fortune tellers. Parcells went with what was proven and it paid off for him.
Heels20X6 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Do you think Lions fans are happy that Dickie STILL isn't their coach? Fixed...

Same as in general business when such happens, he saw that his knees were capped and left graciously. Knowing that he was rendered impotent and was in the crosshairs. Mularkey and VanGorder have been excelent here in Atl. VanGorder especially. To do what he did with that talent last year on D was amazing. It was all smoke and mirrors, held together by bubble gum and duct tape. Mularky seems like he might be another guy that is fit to be a Cord not a head coach. but if they Falcons come out again and have a great year, he will most likely get another shot.
Cynical Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Huh? Based on Cade McNown, who was a collossal screw-up, and Trent, who looked good until his concussion last year? Oh, the concussion angle again. Never mind Trent saying he felt unprepared for the Cleveland game. Did the concussion cause Edwards to throw 3 picks?
lets_go_bills Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 And that's why Detroit let Jauron go. And that's why he's our coach. He's an idiot.
Cynical Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 What? McNown and Edwards are textbook examples? A.) Apparently you missed the word "beginning" B.) Yes, it's called starting the rookie QB before they are fully developed. Heck, Jauron declared McNown his starting QB BEFORE the kid even signed a contract.
