    Disagree - the long view is the appropriate view. Why would you maybe take a lesser prospect just because he might be further along the learning curve? I hope that they are looking for the biggest upside for the next 10 years (at least)

    I don’t know, many seem to think he should go 1st overall. i would be very happy with Darnold, Rosen or Mayfield and could be on board with the ultimate physical skills and Clay to mold of Allen. However, I could be quite content to sit at 12 and take Allen or Mayfield, if they are left

    Dilly Dilly!

    I’ve certainly had my Skeletons as well!

    John Skelton!
  7. OldTimer1960
    I would b pleasantly surprised at that.
  8. OldTimer1960
    Well, because you would be hard pressed to find a player close to as good as Glenn (if he is healthy) in the 3rd round.

    If you think the Bills are a QB away from a very serious SB run, then sure. However, if you are trying to build a team that can contend for several years, then I don’t see how he fits.
  10. OldTimer1960
    The idea of 2 first round picks (21, 22) being greater than the 5th or 6th and 2nd round picks is “fan speak “
  11. OldTimer1960
    Nope - this team is not a SB contender even with Brees.
  12. OldTimer1960
    No to Brees, he is a rental at his age.
  13. OldTimer1960
    Agreed, but I can’t think of many better coaches to study under than Belichick and Saban. Still to be sure he will need talent to work with in order to succeed.
  14. OldTimer1960
    Almost sure that they will sign some FA QB, but do you think that they will view him as anything more than a stopgap?
  15. OldTimer1960
    After Goff’s rookie year folks were laughing at the Rams for trading up to get him. He might be good, but needs a lot of talent around him to succeed (as do most QBs). In other words, give up many picks to move up for a QB and watch them fall if you can’t surround them with decent talent.
  16. OldTimer1960
    Please check the value of those picks. I’ve already done so in other threads. I think it will surprise you. Spoiler: Before the Taylor trade Jets picks in rounds 1-3 were worth more than the Bills’ multiple picks and Denver’s weren’t far off.
  17. OldTimer1960
    But who are the top QBs in the league? Brady 6th round, Brees 2nd round, Rodgers - late first, Roethlisberger- 11th pick, Wilson -3rd,.... Finding a very good QB is very hard to do. Just trading a lot to move up does not guarantee anything.
  18. OldTimer1960
    Isn’t that true of most OC? The best coaches have great players, not the other way round... Bill Belichick was run out of Cleveland. He is a great coach, but he would have been fired years ago if he didn’t have Brady. What did he have to work with in those early gigs? Almost no coaches can turn turds into diamonds.
  19. OldTimer1960
    I will be surprised if the Bills are very interested in any of the FA QBs unless they can get them cheap. I think that beyond Cousins they are all reaches.
  20. OldTimer1960
    Are you saying that Tony Eason, Todd Blackledge and Ken O’Brien ever “pretty good”? O’Brien was the best of the bunch by far, but I am sure that few here would be happy if they traded a lot to move up for an equivalent player.
  21. OldTimer1960
    But why? He has been in the league for 6 full seasons and hasn’t been able to hold onto a starting gig, in spite of one great season in Philly.
  22. OldTimer1960
    I would not give them a 2nd - either 53 or 56 for Foles - he is “Foles gold” - at least in my opinion.
  23. OldTimer1960
    Not true for the Jets and marginally true for the Broncos. The top of the 3rd pick for Taylor helps a lot, but 21 in each round is worth a lot less than the 5th or 6th pick in each round.
  24. OldTimer1960
    Because they know that they caught lightning in a bottle and they want to trade him for more than he is worth.
  25. OldTimer1960
    Yep - he (Foles) knows that he is marginal and doesn’t have the drive to fight through that. I would not give more than a third round pick for him and even at that that I wouldn’t count on him.
