    Benjamin goes down, let’s not go there...

    IMO, that is a given every season. KB lumbers through the middle and gets hit. That is the majority of his route tree in a nutshell.

    Because of his size, body type and NFL tackling rules, him being injured should be taken as a given.

    They believe in Benjamin and Zay Jones. Carolina had terrible WRs as well. 

    They also had Cam, who could make things happen. Maybe AJ can too but he isn’t Cam.

    He never changed his game to make more plays from the pocket. It wasn't about the coaching, and the injury was a result of his playing style. Steve Young summed it up pretty nicely after one of his games.It was a MNF game toward the end of Griffins time in Washington.  He said early in his career he was the same player that RG III was. Teams figure you out pretty fast and force you to make plays from the pocket. He acknowledged that Griffin had the talent. It was pretty much on him if he changed his game to adapt to the NFL or continued to try his College style. Young predicted that if RGIII stuck with his college game his career would be short. Prescient statement by Young. 

    Steve Young was a mobile QB at the beginning of his career because Tampa was trying to get him killed?

    At least RG was making some hay his first year.

    It's a defense mechanism.  I'm always amazed at how fans can sugar coat an obvious setback.  Yes, the four teams that pick in the top five will probably all take quarterbacks and there's probably nothing we can do about it.  I was and am still depressed about the Jets moving up to the three spot after us talking for a year about trading up to get one of the premier QB's in this draft.

    Buck up Lil’ Camper!!  All is not lost.

    Gettleman has already traded away picks for veteran signings. Of course he's interested in trading. It'll be expensive, as it should be. And Gettleman will shine for the trade. He not only gets a slew of picks including two first rounders that night, but he gets to rub the Jets nose in ****. Ha. Buffalo has the capital.

    Gettlemen got canned in Carolina because he was a dick and made things personal.

    He did it to D. Williams, S. Smith, J. Norman.

    It is not beyond the realm of possibility that he might screw the Jets over for sport.

    He’s also notoriously cheap and thinks he can get by( and he did)with lesser talent on cheaper deals.

    A good DL over LB every time for me. Any defense is nothing without that. 

     

    It all starts up front.

    Hog Mollies is what Gettlemen called Star and K Short when he drafted them. 

    I’m not a huge fan of the Buffalo Carolina connection so far. 

    Tolbert was a security blanket pick.

    K Benjamin is Meh. He takes too many hits and I predict he will have a hard time finishing any season he starts.

    Star is a space filler. He doesn’t push the pocket, sack or have good tackle stats for that matter. His acquisition leads me to believe we will be drafting a MLB in the first two rounds. I wouldn’t be surprised if we  pick up two LBs by the fourth round.

    Or pretending one knows more than one actually does.   

     

    That’s called bluffing?

    You can’t guarantee anything in football or

    life. That should go without saying. Just because something could fail, doesn’t mean you don’t give it a try. If that’s how we all lived our lives, we’d be doing nothing. That’s why this team has been stuck in mediocrity for almost two decades. The Buffalo Bills are a nationally irrelevant football team. What is there to be afraid of by selling the farm? Is it losing our illustrious .500 record? 

    Ouch!!!

    Ryan(120)

    Matt Ryan went #3 in 2008. My eyes popped out when I saw that.

    The most important pieces on McDermott's defenses are on the DL and those pieces will lead to nowhere witout a franchise QB. 

    The most important part of McDermott’s defenses if Carolina was the LB position. Star is of no value if we don’t get someone sitting behind him , choosing which gap to fill.

    When was the last time we gave up a 1st round pick for a QB???

    Drew Bledsoe and he was a freaking Dinosaur when we did it?

    Yes.  Look at my avatar.  Fricken trade up. There's three great QB prospects in Darnold, Rosen, and Mayfield imo. I'm sick of being in a constant state of mediocrity because we can't find our franchise QB.  Picking 1st round QB's outside the top 10 hasn't worked.  Trading for promising backups hasn't worked.

    Kelly  wasn’t in the top ten?

    Actually I dont know what this is true

     

    First off....there is a report that the colts didnt want to drop out of the top 10.....we were going to need to trade up twice to get where we needed to be....21 is veeery far away from say....7

     

    Second....if we do trade with the giants...the compensation may end up being what probably always going to be....2 firsts this year and a 1st next year.

    If we are trading three firsts, go for broke and do the deal with Cleveland for #1.

    If we get a 10 + year starting QB , we will forget the asking price quickly.

    What’s the over/under on the number of people who have actually watched him enough to even give a basic fan-level opinion?  Two?

    I’m a Panthers fan also and have enjoyed watching the Panthers D.

    Stars job was simply to take on blockers so Kueckly and Davis could go hunting( in a nutshell) . He’s no Ted Washington but he’s decent. He doesn’t really push the pocket or tackle or that matter.

    The Panthers press line has been the old “ stats don’t show how important he is in our scheme.” I think there is some truth to this but we are going to have to upgrade our LBs dramatically if we intend to use him the same way.
