    His intelligence, his maturity, his passion, his faith ... he's a McDermott wet dream.

    I don't honestly know how any Bills fan can read this and think for a second that the Bills want Josh Rosen in their lockerroom. 

     

    Careful don't talk about faith and Rosens character issues or the far left will shut this thread down too!

    TOP (12-14 WINS)

    1. Pats- They were in the SB. They stay here until proven otherwise. Sorry guys

    2. Steelers- Big Ben and Bell are still there. Always a tough team. Their window is closing with Ben. 

     

    HALL OF VERY GOOD (10-12 WINS)

    3. Chargers- I am just sick of seeing Phil Rivers fall short. Picking with my heart here. 

    4. Jags- I could see a slide down the chart, but they were in the AFCC. AFC South could very well beat each other up in 2018 with the best at 9 or 10 wins)

    5. Texans- Assuming Watson is ready to rock and roll. Plus that Defense is still good.  No Watson no cookie. 

     

    FIGHTING FOR THE FINAL WILD CARD SPOT (8-10 WINS)

    6. Colts (assuming a trade down with the Bills for more picks. This could drop big time but they get a HUGE bump with Luck back behind center)

    7. Bills (I have more faith than some in McCarron. Better passer than TT. Still some important holes to fill)

    8. Chiefs (could take the Colts spot. Rookie QB vs. Andrew Luck

    9. Raiders (Carr's season will determine where they fall)

    10. Dolphins- They were a QB away from being a much better team than us in 2017. Losing some help though. Could drop.

    11. Titans- Same as Broncos, but they were in the hunt last year so they get the nod

     

    7 WINS OR LESS

    12. Browns- Just being nice. I don't want you to be the factory of sadness anymore. Also TT is a good dude/mediocre QB, who will get you to at least 5 wins this year. I predict 7. 

    13. Jets- I just don't see a turn around for them now. 

    14. Ravens- The wheels will fall off the organization in the next few years. Their window is over. 

    15. Broncos- Probably too low. But I can't really say they are better than anybody above the,

    16. Bengals- Sorry guys, but probably swap with the Browns in reality. 

     

    I think there is probably a log jam of teams at 7-10 wins, that are all pretty comparable that flip flop in there. Chargers the most notable of to add to that group. I wouldn't be surprised if everybody in the hall of very good was basically also fighting for a WC spot as well.

    While this is a silly thread, it's at least interesting you brought up the religion angle.  I think those who are deeply religious tend to respect others who are deeply religious, no matter the religion.  I think McD's Bills would be much more likely to shy away from a vocal atheist.

     

    And besides, you don't think Rosen is used to all of the "thanking God" that goes on in locker rooms and on the field by now?

     

    Not if he has been hanging out in southern california his whole life. I knew I would catch a heap for this. But again it was just one of 3 reasons they won't draft him.  But for the simple minded people calling me a moron (as if that is a funny insult) if you don't think there is any chance McDermott might see a potential issue with their beliefs I don't think you have really picked up on what kind of guy he is.  So go back to watching CSI and not giving any consideration to the fact differences in religious beliefs have lead to a conflict or 2 in this world.  And yes sometimes thst even spills over into the work place causing people to judge eachother and or lead to rifts.  

     

    And is it going to be such a silly thread when they have the #2 pick and pass on Rosen and Mayfield.

    Literally one of the top five worst threads in TSW history.

     

    Its just called next level thinking.  Rosen being a devout Jew is only one aspect of it. Him possibly being devisive due to othe reasons and not being the most coachable are also in there. Apparently that doesn't hold any weight either.  Or the fact Beane won't take Mayfield because of his size.  Care to put some kind of wager on us not taking either one of them?  You seem awfully pompous. 

  5. Process of eliminatination.  Beane clearly stated how important it is for an NFL QB to be tall so he can see over the line and make all of the throws.  He made it crystal clear this is what he wants in his next QB. There goes 6 foot Mayfield along w his dui arrest and other character flaws the Bills wouldn't have touched him anyway.  

     

    Now onto Rosen: I'll catch heat for this but our coach is a devout Christian.  He makes sure to thank god in all of his post game speeches and preaches about how he is a man of faith.  Rosen is a devout Jew, going as far as saying he chose UCLA because its heavy population jewish people. Rosen said he wanted to give kids of Jewish faith someone to look up to in the sports arena since there weren't many Jewish sports stars.  

     

    To play psychologist for a moment we also know Rosen is a very articulate kid, who is outspoken and into social justice issues like most millennials.  Do you think that would be a ticking time bomb until Rosen spoke out against the old school coach pushing his religion in team meetings and after the game?  Or took issue with some other ongoing NFL  problem.  Does McDermott strike you as someone who wants a person leading his team who very likely won't follow suite?  McDermott would never want his QB to be the reason for any sort of distraction or division within his team.  Rosen already has a knock on him of being hard to coach and not a team player.  There goes Rosen.  

     

    The only 2 left that fit Beanes QB mold that the Bills would possibly be trying to move up that far for #1 Allen, # 2 Darnold.

    I think the point is, the offense he is in essentially requires him to know where he's going with the ball pre-snap.  We don't know whether or not he can read the field, BECAUSE he has not been playing in a pro-style offense.  Note that this is also true of Mayfield and Darnold and Jackson. 

     

    I disagree with you about his comfort in the pocket.  He hangs in there and moves around/takes the hit to make the play, more so than Mayfield at least.

    That may or may not be a good thing, it's a thing thing.

     

     

    What exactly is it you like about AJ McCarron that would lead you to spend the higher salary on him?

     

    I'm aware of the games he has played and his stats in them.

     

    He played in a pro style offense in college, he has won a championship, He has had 4 years to study under an above average NFL QB, and in the games he has played in he has looked the part.  Probably about 25% of first round QBs end up being qaulity starters, I fear the unknown. Atleast AJ has a bigger body of work to judge.

    Not to be a total flame thrower, but the first four negatives on the OPs list are pretty much all the same criticism. It’s just worded so that it looks like a long list.

     

    I respectfully disagree, the cliff notes are he has no experience in a pro style offense, he can't read the field, and he isn't comfortable in the pocket.  One isn't because of the other, they are all seperate faults.  

     

    Someone else asked me in the thread what my solution is.  Personally I would sign AJ M to a somewhat reasonable contract and try to draft Falk out of Washington State.  Let him learn for a couple of years and between the two of them I would feel comfortable moving forward, if not keep drafting along the way. 

  8. After seeing and hearing the rumblings that the Bills will take Rudolph if he is there at 21 I decided to watch some of his tape. Im no pro scout but this is what stood out to me. 

     

    1.  He is in the typical dumbed down type of collge offense that Beane said he is trying to avoid.  Didn't see any passes from under center. 

     

    2.  He locks on to one reciever.  He depends on his primary reciever to get open as he will stare them down for multiple seconds without so much as turning his head.  

     

    3.  The only time he seems to look for other reads is when he leaves the pocket because his first read is not open for multiple seconds. He gets uncomfortable and leaves the pocket rather than stepping up like big time NFL QBs do.  Remind you of anyone?

     

    4.  He is an accurate passer. When the recievers are open he gets the ball to them.  He can make some tight throws and has a decent deep ball.  

     

    5.  He can create plays with his legs.  He seems to have decent speed and was asked to do alot of read option in his college system.

     

    From what I saw he seems like a Blaine Gabbert/Bryce Petty type more than anything. A guy who ran quick pace, 1 read offense that had success in college who you are basically just hoping can learn an NFL offense.  It usually doesn't work out, and we as fans deserve more than that.

    It's projected to be around $90,000,000 I believe. Contracts could be loaded to where a majority of the cap hit is in 2019. 

     

    And that is before we cut Clay before the 2019 season to save about 10 million, and  more than likely part ways with Glenn saving almost 12 million.  On top of that the 2 million a year of Tyrods that will be off the books. Assuming we dont sign Cousins and go with a draft pick or cheap option our highest paid player will be Jerry Hughes (if he's even on the team, I have my doubts) at about 10 million.  That is some crazy stuff, we will be forced to spend. 

     

    As far as AJ to the Browns if he is a RFA that is far from a done deal especially given a new GM in Dorsey who covets draft picks and may or may not even like AJ. I have no proof, it just serms like a happy middle ground for us from risking alot on a 1st rounder who might be able to play in the NFL, and giving Cousins 30 million a year.  A reasonable contract and or trade for AJ seems alot more new age Billsy than the other 2 options, don't you think?

  10. Hello my old friends. I haven't posted since they switched the software, it took me six months to figure out how to log in.  I was always here in spirit.  At my age it is not so easy and Blanch is always hogging the computer looking for Mr. Right Now.  Anyways on to football, my views from heaven:

     

    - I think our future QB may be on the Bengals at the moment, and it isn't Dalton.  Suprised more people havent been talking about A.J. M coming here whether he ends up being a FA or not. 

     

    - Can see us making a run at Jimmy Graham if he is willing to come here as our FA splash (Depending on QB situation).  With the way Clays contract is set up he is a dead man walking in 2019.  

     

    - Defensive front 7 will be totally overhauled as it should be.  

     

    - Glad to see Dennison and soon to be Taylor put in the scrap heap.  For the record I was on the fence about Taylor going into the year, my mind is firmly made up now. 

     

    - Mc D is a good leader but as we all know clock management and his aggressiveness need to get much better. 

     

    - Keep in mind in 2019 we will have an absurd amount of salary cap space, Beane is gonna be forced to dust off the velcrow wallet and spend a few dollars. 

     

    Praise the good lord the drought is over and we can finally brush those big ass chips off our shoulders.  Go Bills!
