No mechanics are in two levels...The system downgrades were done on Dak Prescott and Derek Carr as well. Scout the traits. And his mechanics are not bad. Bad mechanics are when you cannot throw the ball where you want it. Philip Rivers had terrible mechanics from the textbook but he was very accurate. It's the same with Mahomes.
Shoulder and up
And below the waist
He has some of the worst footwork in years for a QB prospect
FYI Phillip Rivers had feet like ballerina
Mechanics have EVERYTHING to do with CONSISTENCY
-
For everybody here arguing about Mr Mahomes, I am going to break it down in one question
WHO is the better overall propsect?
Jared Goff OR Pat Mahomes??
I don't think it's close and look at the learning curve Goff is facing
Air Raid + bad mechanics= minimum 3-5 year project
-
Mahomes is thought of as the best QB in the draft by some NFL scouts. I like his accuracy more than Dak from last year.

I haven't seen one scout or executive have Mahomes atop their QB crop
He has some alarming negatives
-
Regardless of who we have interviewed I want one of these guy's
Malik Hooker
Jamal Adams
Marshon Lattimore
Mike Williams
Corey Davis
Solomon Thomas
Or Sidney Jones
-
I understand it's a business. I really do
But
We let a top 10 pick, and 2 top picks of the second round walk for nothing
And good football players at that
I just feel we needed to re sign 1 of these guy's to minimize holes on the roster
Which I feel are mounting

This team has been wretched for years, and you are going to miss a mediocre receiver who played hard. A safety who was always injured. And a CB who was a wimp and didn't try? You have really set the bar low my friend. On the current team I will miss once they are gone, Kyle Williams because he was a beast of a player coming out as a 5th round pick. And is a great leader. I would miss Shady because his talent is incomparable. The rest of the team. Meh. Keep the revolving door moving until we can find some winners.
Grumpy much?
They are some of my favorite players
Aaron Williams is a leader and has been a vocal member of the Buffalo community for years
Donating thousands of thousands of dollars and helping the youth of Buffalo stay clean and positive
Yea, I'll miss him

Shoutbox works great for venting 716,
TBD blanket of luv...
Thanks for tip

i hate losing a guy like gilmore, but i think we all knew it was going to happen. the bills have been much better with retaining their own guys, but it's never going to be 100%.
i also wanted to keep woods, but for that kind of money, he was going to move on.
with aaron, again, we all knew.
this is part of FA. none of this should really shock us. it's not ideal, but this shouldn't rock the team.
But we lost a super talented top 10 pick
And 2 top end second round picks
Those are premium players you draft, so you retain them
-
I really expected AWill to retire anyway...
Would have liked to keep Gilly but not for anything like that money.
Genuinely bummed about Woods though. That guy will play for a long time.
Woods is SUCH a great guy to have on your team
He plays with so much passion and love for the game
Everybody should take his approach
-
This was a sad morning as a bills fan
Today, the Bills lost 3 of my favorite players from the drought
Stephon Gilmore, Bob Woods and Aaron Williams
Aaron God Bless man and I hope you stay in good health for the rest of your life, just hang um up and call it quits man, you earned it
Stephon Gilmore who has been a scapegoat of the Bills for years.. all he did was practice everyday, keep his mouth shut, and play... Was he the best? No... But we are gonna miss his talents and it's a double whammy he's in new england
And Bob Woods. The consummate professional.. His crafty route running, sure hands and physical blocking as been an intregal part of our team for years.. he never asked for the ball, or complained he didn't get it.. he just busted his ass for years and I might miss him the most
I hope we have a plan in place because we are gonna miss these guy's, and so am I
Good luck guys... Besides Gilmore... I can't even wish him luck in NE
-
I hope watson is still in play for us.
However,unless Adams or Hooker are there at 10; try like heck to trade down.
If not, I strongly consider taking Williams or Davis, if not the best DL on the board.
Watson was interviewed
-
Disagree that QB is out at 10.
So: Watson, Trubisky, Kizer, Mahomes, Davis, Williams, Foster, Lattimore, Hooker, or Adams would make sense.
Did not interview Kizer, Lattimore, hooker or adams yet
Whoever the Bills select will the #10 pick I can guarantee you 1 thing... It will be a player that the Bills interviewed
With the Tyrod Taylor restructure, I say we do not go QB at 10 so those prospects are out
So what prospects does that leave us with at the tenth overall pick?
Mike Williams- 6'3 225 LBs
The big, long, physical receiver is plenty gifted. While he doesn't possess top end speed or nuanced route running he excells at winning at the LOS and when the ball is in the air. Uncanny ability to win 50-50 balls
Jabril Peppers- 5'11 215
Michigan's Swiss army knife has played safety, linebacker, RB and returned punts and kicks for Michigan. But he projects as a in the box, blitzing SS at the NFL level.. while he doesn't possess great ball skills he sells his body out in the run willing to give his body up to keep gap contain
Solomon Thomas- 6'3 275LBs
The Stanford product is one of the most versatile and intriguing prospects in the draft.. if he had a bit more length he would easily project as a top 5 player.. Thomas is built very well with great thickness that will allow him to play in either 43 or 34 schemes.. he has an all day motor that doesn't quit and flashes all pro potential.. needs to work in leverage
I believe we also interviewed the long, tall CB from Washington, Sidney Jones
At the end of the day I'm hoping we pull the trigger on Mike Williams or Solomon Thomas if available
Preferably Thomas who has all pro potential and I think will give us a young , fierce line that is versatile and punishes teams

Ughhh but we need a WR sooo bad!!
Williams or Corey Davis please!!
-
He is a CB1 by every possible metric.
Gilmore is just a scapegoat
He literally let's up less than 4-5 TDs a year but he's a bum
Is he the best? No
But we are gonna miss him
-
I took your posting literally and now my guts are spilling out. What do I do? Is there a ritual chant that will bring me back to health? Or am I doomed?
Oh sh!T
You are definitely screwed bro!
Im gonna miss you

His offense needs a QB that can read the defense pre snap, and throw with anticipation. Two things Taylor cant do. 3,5, 7 step drops, rollouts etc. You do NOT Need a "Mobile" QB for this system. Hell Peyton Freaking Manning did rollouts and he cant run the 20 in 5 minutes!!
Stop already.
As a bridge QB, damn straight he could

Dennison wants a mobile guy
He is a Shanahan disciple
Shanahan ALWAYS loved a mobile QB
Elway- Mobile
-Jake Plummr - mobile
Bob Griese- Mobile
Jay Cutler- Mobile
RG3 - Mobile

Just wanted to say thanks to those on here who have allowed us BBMB members to come over. I'm typically the type to read more than I post but I'm just glad to have somewhere to discuss our football team again. Was over there for about 2.5 years but I'm looking forward to being a member here for the future.
Glad to see you made it over here man

If I was GM of the Bills...
I'd commit ritual seppuku because I dishonored my ancestors with bad play on the field
(I was a history major... It's a samurai joke not to be taken seriously)
-
I lurked forever, then joined and started posting. I wanted it clear that while I may not be the X and O guy some are, or the draft expert, I was born the year the Bills were and have been going since I was a small kid at the Rockpile. Being new didn't make me ignorant. (That was just a coincidence! )
Rock on brother
The rock pile is where the glory started
-
I've enjoyed reading your takes. Glad you're here bud.
Thanks bud
That mean more to me than you think
I (and a bunch others) were at BBMB for YEARS so I was reluctant to join
I'm glad I did
-
Ahh, respect is earned. Well done.
(Until I disagree with you next time. Haha)
I'm a bit under the influence right now... That should let my true knowledge shine even brighter because I'm not making a fool of myself
What I meant was I have to give you guys respect and I'll receive it in turn
-
"My maker" are you trying to make this about religion???? I can see why you were cautious.
The only problem with the current contract situation as I understand it, is there isn't really a path to one more year to vindicate. It's move on or commit to at least $30 mil worth of seasons.
Btw how rough was this other forum. I bet they even discouraged sarcasm...
I was never banned and recieved a few infractions there over the years but I tried to follow the CoC and most was good
-
I appreciate itI love the reasonable nature here! You earlier said he's top 20 (which I believe), but he's not "the answer". So many people need to take one extreme or the other. Haters and defenders. I'll defend the guy, to a point, but I'd love to have a TRUE FRANCHISE QB. They're hard to come by, but you never stop looking. In the meantime, you don't dump a guy better than 1/3 of the league, with nothing behind him. It seems so obvious to me that I often wonder what I'm missing.
Trying to show you guys I know what I'm talking about
Respect is earned
Who the Bills will pick at 10

Phillip Rivers who you compared his throwing motion too earlier was a top 10 lock
He DID A BUNCH OF THINGS GREAT
Mahomes is a 2nd round propsect with a little attention garnered in the late 1ST
Their careers and play styles are nothing alike
There is not one scout who thinks mahomes has good mechanics consistently
