Damn. I was hoping we could package McBeane for a late round pick before he completely destroys our roster.
-
Out of the 2016 draft they got the following:
- #1 WR
- #3 WR
- #4 WR
- starting RT
- #2 TE
- backup QB
- starting DE
- rotational DE/DT
- starting MLB
- starting SLB via trade
- starting CB via trade
- starting S
- plus additional picks in the 2017 and 2018 drafts, one of which was used to take Kizer and another Peppers
That's great. But how many are actually any good? Or did they just find their place on the depth chart due to circumstances of a bad roster to begin with. At this point we don't know the answer to that question. All we know is they have a lot of young players on the roster and that they were a really bad team last year. Where they go from here we don't know yet.
I think they are smart.
Why waste any more time of Osweiler or Kessler? Neither one of those guys are Playoff QBs.
The risk is falling in love with Kizer and passing on a top QB in the next draft because of that love. Then the next two seasons Kizer fizzles out. It's a lot easier for a rookie QB to look good when you chalk up the mistakes made during the season to being a rookie and projecting future improvement.
If they start Oz or Kessler it's very unlikely either of those guys performs at a level high enough to keep them from drafting a QB next year.
-
So how many franchise QB's does that make now that we passed on in this last draft? It's our luck that the '17 QB draft class will end up better than the '18 class.
-
Some fans are so desperate that they latch onto any QB that walks through the door.
It's amazing to me that a 5th Rounder already warrants time with the ones according to Bills fans.
Any old QB who walks in off the street immediately deserves his shot to prove he's the guy....
It's been that way since at least the Losman days.
-
Just what a typical Bills fan in denial says
Dude did have sub 9.0 ypc last season. That's down there with the RB's averages.
-
Anybody hoping that Goff would be as bad as last year, will likely be disappointed. Looking very good in two preseason appearances, with lots of weapons around him now. Looks like Kupp is his first look, though.
He literally had one of the worst rookie campaigns ever for a QB so it's not like an improvement will mean much unless he improves a ton. He does seem to have some weapons to throw to now so we shall see what kind of step up he takes.
-
Starting right away did not destroy Manning bros, Stafford, Winston, Mariota, Wilson, Carr, Luck, Ryan, Newton, Prescott, Roethlisberger confidence of recent guys thrown to the wolves right away.
100% agree. In today's NFL I am a big believer in starting a rookie QB day one if that is an option. With Taylor being here I'm not sure it is for us. But it could be possibly. Today's young QB's pretty much either have it and show it from the word go or they don't.
-
If Tyrod continues to look this bad & still starts, I will loose a lot of respect for the coaching staff. Start the best at each position.
Go Bills!!!!!
Peterman hasn't exactly lit it up against 2's and 3's. So who are you saying is the best at the QB position? The thing in Peterman's favor is that he is a rookie. Sometimes the saying, if the battle for the position is close then give it to the rookie is true. Sometimes it's not.
Also, consider that the last pre-season game we just saw from Taylor was probably the worst we've seen ever outside of maybe the fourth quarter of the Oakland game last year. Basically even with that terrible film, there is a good chance that was an anomaly. Preseason game #3 will be interesting but at this point I think Peterman has to look a whole lot better to take the job from Taylor no matter how bad Taylor looks in the next game. Now if Taylor's first two games to start the season are very similar to his first two games to start the season last year then I think we have a legitimate argument to make that Peterman should get a look.
-
Assuming Gaines and Matthews are as advertised our depth at WR and CB should be fine. If we are going to move a player it should be Ragland. Trade Reggie for another former 1st/2nd round pick on another team who also is finding themselves third on the depth chart. That is how we landed Hughes in the first place.
-
Okay, I'll be one of those over reactors. There actually is a chance he Taylor could be benched in favor of Peterman come week one. That was a flat out terrible performance by Taylor today. If he doesn't separate himself from a rookie QB in the next game then I could see it as a real possibility.
-
So we sucked last year basically?
-
6-10
3-3 inside the division
3-7 outisde the division

I have to say "thanks" to the OP for posting this. I am always amazed when I see breakdowns like this one. I've been saying for years that the NFL is going to have a QB Shortage sometime in the next few years, and that time the game is going to once again have to evolve. (It's either that or they are going to have to get better at evaluating college football talent.) It seems inevitable to me.
I don't want to get WAY ahead of myself but Watson, Turbitzky and Mahomes all showed promise in their first live action the other day. If players keep developing we could be just fine as a league as a whole. Throw in Wentz looking decent and Mariotta and Winston continuing to build on their careers and the NFL could be just fine.

Why 2009?
Not sure. Maybe going back an even 10 years to 2007 would have made the list look too depressing. 2007 was an epically bad QB draft.
-
Is it just me or have there been more better QB's selected in rounds 2-7 then in the first round since 2009?
-
Also, they don't seem content with mediocre QB play and are gearing up to go ball to the wall for none next year.
Then demote/cut/trade Taylor NOW. Picking top 1-5 vs. 6-10 could make the world of difference in landing the QB they want.
-
And yet with 2 missed games very very productive right?
Production decreasing every year. Down to career low 11.0ypc last season. Is his body starting to slow down on him? Same thing with Boldin. If you throw any receiver the ball enough they will rack up yards. Thing is, on this team they are not likely to get the ball thrown their way that much so it would be a good guess to see production drop.

2917: This is the year Brady's age finally starts to catch up to him
-
Why would he want to resign with the Rams? A true competitor would bet on themselves to have a good season. A good season for Sammy would open up the market for him. Shouldn't he want to sign with a contender? Just a theory of mine. Maybe the Rams shock us all by turning into a contender.
He won't have a choice if the Rams tag him. If he gets tagged he may decided to sign a long term contract with the Rams or just play under the tag. Many options really.
-
Already talking about next years draft. What a joke.
Why? I imagine the Bills have several people on salary that only talk and consider next years draft. So why can't fans?
-
There were like 2 games that he left by halftime with injury. One I think was against Miami where he twisted his ankle catching a TD pass. I forgot the other but I remember he left by halftime.
The ankle twisting TD was against the Bengals and yeah that was just before the half and he didn't return. The other games was Miami as you correctly said. There he caught a 30 or 40 yard pass and pulled up with a strained calf muscle.
-
the rams could be in a tough spot. they need to come up with a reasonable contract soon the sign sammy, and if smart, he'd take it. if he has numbers like you mentioned, i'd guess he'd want to test the market, and possibly find a better situation for him. likely the rams will over pay now and take a chance on his health, which i question. it's not a terrible gamble, so for the rams i think it's worth it.
As long as Watkins stays healthy, plays 14/16 games at minimum I see the Rams doing whatever they have to do to keep him. Regardless of his stats. Bringing in Watkins for the Rams is more about finding out what they have in Goff. Very good chance that next year they will be picking somewhere where they have the choice of sticking with Goff or going a different route at QB. Watkins helps them evaluate Goff if he can stay on the field.

I'm fairly high on Garoppolo. I don't see him turning into a dud like Cassel. The 2018 off-season will be interesting for the Pats. I'm a little worried about his durability since he was injured after only playing 1 and a half games last year.
-
then why did sammy have huge games here and there? when he felt great he played great. i'm willing to be he didn't feel great 50% of the time. sure other receivers were banged up, but to use that an excuse for the lack of sammy's production when not healthy just doesn't make sense. i really did like sammy, but to ignore how his injuries effected his play is crazy.
Look at the number of targets and you will probably find your answer. Did he not produce because he wasn't 100% or because we only through the ball a total of 25 times and Sammy only saw 6 or 7 balls thrown his way? My guess would be on the latter over the former.

50/50 chance we lost to the Jets week 1. And I'm being serious. I don't expect the Jets to start Hackenberg. If they do then I think we have a 90% chance of taking that one.
And since the Jets are going to be a major hurdle for us to jump in the pursuit of our next franchise QB it's not like we should be bummed about losing to the Jets week one.
