I’ve been good with evaluating QBs in the past. Nix needed the extra time in college football. Kid is going to be a successful NFL QB and I bet a good amount of NFL GMs will feel the same way and take him first round. Barring an injury I’d put money on him being taken top 20

McCarthy is the guy I feel like needs the most time to grow. Hope he stays another year but with the crap going on at Michigan he may have to leave. Hope he transfers to another school and keeps growing as a QB…kid is talented but also has a lot of head scratching throws. He’s the Zach Wilson of this class for me. He’s gotten better each year at Michigan but I don’t think he’s ready yet to be an NFL QB. Stay one more year clean up the mistakes, learn to scan quicker in the pocket and he’ll be the the #1 pick in 2025

A lot of the media talking heads prop up the obvious guys because yes you’re right WIlliams is a unicorn. He’s not Lamar Jackson but he’s definitely a more accurate and stronger armed version of Fields. I hope he’s willing to take coaching because he could be special if somehow the giants got him and Daboll cleaned up his rough edges like he did for Josh. Maye was my favorite prospect going into this year. But man this year he’s been making some dumb decisions too. It reminds me of Justin Herbert’s last year at Oregon. Herberts junior year he was unbelievable but then Maye and Herbert’s final year in college left you wondering what’s going on with all these bad decisions. I think Maye and Penix throw the prettiest balls in this class. So much accuracy on the deep balls, just great placement where the ball is just so easy for the receiver to catch. Penix inside the pocket is the best QB in this class. You give him an Eagles O line and let him sit and scan the field and he will tear the NFL apart but he’s inconsistent with pressure. He’s not scared to take a hit but when he scrambles it’s not always pretty. I was very encouraged tonight though. Nix is a gamer. Dude lives to put the team on his back and is electric making throws on the run. Is he as athletic as Williams or does he throw a deep ball as pretty as Maye or as accurate in the pocket as Penix…no. But man he just gets the job done and even though he’s not elite in every category, he has the least amount of flaws in his game and wow has he grown into a great prospect since his sporadic play early on at Auburn. I really like Nix. He’s a lesser version of Joe Burrow to me. realistic and good spots for each QB: Williams - Daboll and NYG (he did it with Josh he can do it with Williams) Maye - GB and Matt Lafleur (He’d thrive in GB with that culture and fan base behind him with a good Offensive HC) Penix - Vikings and O’Connell (Really good O line, great weapons and creative HC. It’s like UW of the Midwest lol) Nix - Raiders and Jim Harbaugh (hate to do it to my boy but if anyone is going tough it up and knock the chiefs around I see Jim Harbaugh and Nix being special together…I’d rather see him go to the NFC but this is the next best choice. Screw the chiefs lol)

I don’t disagree with that but you put any of these 4 QBs (willams, Maye, Penix or Nix) on Georgia or Michigan and yes I agree they win the national championship. He is USC (sorry for the double negative) but that doesn’t mean he isn’t the reason they lost a game regardless of how absolutely dreadful USCs run defense is. They would’ve won that game imo if it weren’t for Williams’ fumble that turned into a Washington TD, stupid sack when they were in FG position and #19 dropping a for sure TD early and the stupid holding on another TD that was called back.

Maybe you didn’t watch the game it’s ok to be a stat junkie and not actually see how his fumble in the first half led to a Washington TD and how he took his team out of FG position taking a 15 yard sack in the 4th. We all knew this game was going to be over 80 points total because neither team has a defense but go ahead make your one liner comments because ha ha they sound funny…caleb is wreckless and that won’t win consistently in the NFL. Mahomes needed Andy Reid and Williams needs his version as well or he’s going to be a more talented Fields 2.0 in the NFL

Caleb plays so wreckless. All the talent in the world but him and #19 cost the Trojans a W tonight. Williams needs a good offensive minded HC to get the most out of him or else he’s going to be a mess in the NFL. Can’t live on pure talent and make bone headed decisions like running into the pass rush over and over. Penix really impressed me. I knew he was super accurate in the pocket and throws a beautiful ball but against Oregon he was garbage scrambling out and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn BUT wow did he show up on a couple throws outside the pocket tonight, especially the TD to the TE. Penix will be a top 10 pick in this draft and I also think the headiness and grittiness of Bo Nix gets him taken top 15 too. He’s a plug and play QB right now and honestly think he could be the best pro. I love this draft class and even though Williams will be the #1 pick and has all the potential in the world I love the 3 QBs behind him more (Maye, Penix and Nix)…hope they all go to the NFC. We don’t need any more franchise QBs in the AFC

100% love this dude but man are dudes at 1BD need to work on their interviewing skills. Felt awkward but Joseph handled it like a boss.

I agree with almost all of this except I like Murray and think he’s done a great job. I don’t see Fournette as an upgrade over Murray but I do love the addition in case of any more RB injuries. Fournette is not a great runner or pass catcher but he can block and he’s serviceable if needed. The other 2 signings I love for what was available. Douglas is going to fit in fine and hopefully he rubs off on Elam. And who doesn’t love a huge mammoth DT to clog up the running lanes. Slam dunk. Now let’s get on another winning streak and stay hot throughout the playoffs. Go bills

If you’re guaranteeing a SB championship with giving up a first for Jaylon Johnson then sure sounds great but we can’t push all of our chips in for a maybe imo. I’d love for our D to get a little tighter in coverage but our team will go as far as Josh takes us so unless Johnson doesn’t cost a lot I’m kicking the tires on cheaper options like Hopkins or Sutton for Josh to have now and still have our early draft capital to take a stud like Odunze for the future

They’re all available for the right offer on teams that are going nowhere. Courtland Sutton would be a nice get as well if cheap enough

I just hope Beane finally understands that Davis is not a reliable #2 WR. He showed up last week, he showed up vs Steelers last year, and showed up huge vs KC in the playoff loss. He’s fun to have as 3rd WR but anything more than a 3yr 30mil contract would be insane. Plus I LOVE Diggs but he’s on the back 9 of his career too. Time to really Invest in a WR early in the draft. No more lame duck potential guys like Shorter, Shakir (hopefully he becomes something), etc

Agreed Elam and a 3rd is the most I would give up. Doing this means Tre White is gone next year and we need all the high draft picks we can muster in this loaded draft class for other needs. I trust our FO with finding late round DBs…but we also have expiring WR contracts coming up in a draft class with a lot of talent at the position (love the UW kid #1 and I love that UNC kid Walker I think is his name). I want it all because winning this year is essential but having cheap great pieces for the future is just as important

A few offensive players I’d love our team to go after if it didn’t cost much are: 1. Deandre Hopkins (I’d give up a 5th rounder and they eat some of the contract) 2. Saquan Barkley (swap James Cook who has 3 years left on his contract for Barkeys expiring expensive contract and we have our guy to get us to the SB) 3. Josh Jacobs (same as Barkley but would rather have Barkley as he is the better pass catching option) 4. Devante Adams (this one could be a stretch as he’s owed a lot of money still but he wants out of Vegas no matter what he says so may not cost much) also I think Daboll should kick the tires on trading Daniel Jones to the Vikings. Vikes want to make a playoff push and Jones is a decent QB when healthy to compete in that division for years to come. Dabs gets a top 5 pick at QB that he can mold the way he did with Josh Lastly I like the idea of getting CB Johnson from the bears but this is a LOADED draft class so I don’t want to get rid of too many assets. A 2025 second or 3rd rounder sure. And I’d love a big run stuffing DT but those aren’t coming cheap. But Aaron Donald or Vita vea are available I’m trying to get them

It was 100% a hold. Von did look quicker tonight but I agree his bend isn’t there yet. It will be soon enough. Mayfield did a good job getting away from pressure because our pass rush was resilient last night just didn’t close very often

Happy we won the game but man we should’ve had a comfortable 3+ score lead in this game if our coaches had some 🥜…inside your opponents 40 with less than 5 yards and a reeling TB d and your punt multiple times. We play to not lose and that won’t work against better competition. Also enough getting cute inside 2 yard line. Put Josh behind center no more shotgun gayness that close. I love how hard the players played. The o line was phenomenal, shakir, Kincaid and David were clutch and the D played hard the whole game but man McDermott and Dorsey are limiting this teams potential. They need to change quickly so we can get our groove back for a superbowl run

I don’t know if this has its own thread yet but after talking to my buddy who is a huge Michigan fan, he’s feeling that if the Wolverines win it all this year, Jim is going back to the NFL for the right opportunity. Michigan football is under attack again and Jim probably doesn’t want to deal with it all. Although I love McD as a person and I think he’s done a good job this year with the defense, I hold him accountable for these lackluster performances. He had his scapegoat last year with Frazier so I don’t think he gets another free pass if he pushes the blame on Dorsey (even if Dorsey is a lot of the blame). Being a head coach means having your team ready to go to play inferior opponents (even if they bring their best against us). We are too talented of a team to be going through these lulls year after with a once in a generation QB. People may not be a fan of Jim Harbaugh’s brash personality but the man bleeds football and will bring a winning culture to Buffalo. I believe he will get the absolute best out of Josh Allen and honestly think if Beane let him know that Buffalo is interested in him, he would seriously consider coaching here. It would be the best of both worlds for him as he gets the college atmosphere and a franchise QB he can build a dynasty out of. I’d love to win a Super Bowl this year and I’m still hopeful we turn things around but if we can’t get there this year I pray Beane is seriously pitching to Harbaugh behind the scenes because it would be a game changer for the future of our Bills and exactly what we need

Maybe already discussed but what happened to Dane Jackson that he’s inactive? Do we have a backup for Benford and Elam?

Trade a 2025 pick then. No reason to handicap yourself in a loaded draft that can help our team stay a contender after aging players with loaded contracts move on from there time in the NFL. Can’t leave Josh alone on an island and expect him to carry the franchise. It’d be great to have it both ways and I trust Beane to make that kind of heady move to keep us in it now and in the future

I hope we stand pat and don’t trade any 2024 assets. If we could get Calais Campbell for a 2025 7th rounder then awesome but I doubt it will happen. This is rumored to be an unbelievably rich draft class and we should have a plethora of picks to make for the future of our team. Anything more than a 5th rounder for a rental player this year is not worth it unless this player is a guarantee for us winning the Super Bowl Here are the Bills picks right now for 2024: 1st round 2nd 3rd 3rd (compensatory) 4th 5th 6th (Houston) 6th 7th

I get that but the offense is 100% healthy and that’s all we’ll need vs the Jags. Lawrence will make a couple mistakes as always against our beat up D. Bills roll 🥳

100% I love Tre and praying for him but I’m also excited to see how Ingram does. He’s flashed some upside

it was clear as day. I was so pissed when this happened because clearly everyone in the world including the Detroit lions D saw the clock run out and were caught off guard when the play still happened. Referees are so garbage and like Mike Florio stated until we get them paid full time and hold them accountable for their mistakes there will be no changes. NFL needs to rectify this immediately

I think that’s what it’s going to be too. Can’t wait

Lions vs Bills SB book it

This was the best I’ve seen the whole team play in a long time, since Josh was fully healthy at the beginning of last year. Amazing performance against a really impressive D. Our O line looked awesome, Josh was in total control and our D was relentless. Bravo! Go bills squish the phish next week
