I like checking on PFF stats and I do believe in a lot of instances it can be useful, but to claim that NFL teams and scouts are going by your "draft guide" to make their picks is complete bullsh*t.
If that were the case you wouldn't be posting youtube videos, you would actually be on an NFL staff somewhere.
I didn’t even watch the video lol did they really say teams use their “draft guide “ lol

Analytics are just a tool. They aren’t a substitute for watching film. They are often used here with no context or common sense.
Even watching film a scout/evaluator must be on his game
i couldn’t tell you how many times I was breaking down film and someone says look at corner X, he just got toasted off the line . QB Z missed him bad
and I’m like slow down and watch the play for 2 more seconds. It’s clealry a soft cover 2 shell and he let the WR run by him to bait the QB with the safety
Who knows how PFF would look at that. As a blown man assignment or as good cover 2 ball

PFF is good for advanced metrics and stats but it’s grades are useless because you can’t accurately grade a player if you don’t know the play call,line call, route combinations, and individual jobs on the play
too many variables

I don't care if you were a former Penn State LB and won SB's as a player and became GM of the Detroit Lions..........if you make dumb personnel decisions like passing on QB's and end up without one and are on the outside looking in at contenders you WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. Whether you want to pretend it's a moot point because that guy wasn't at the top of your board or not. That's a bad coach/GM's fantasy. "There is nothing we can do now about all my bad decisions in the past........so I vote we just put those behind us and I will try harder this time. Continuity......right?" Your board being wrong is not an excuse.?
Capiche?
As for your other assertion that the goal is to build a team that can win without a QB..............again, no. It's not about one-off's. It's about being in consistent contention for and winning multiple SB's over a long period of time. You don't achieve that in the 21st century without a franchise QB because you can't keep deep rosters together. Even coaches like John Gruden and Brian Billick didn't get lifetime contracts for taking woeful franchises to one-time SB victories. You want to last in the NFL you NEED a franchise QB.
I never said if you make dumb decisions you shouldn’t be held accountable,of course you should. If you suck as a GM you should be held accountable
Of course the Goal Of EVERY TEAM is to find a franchise QB. But it’s way harder than you are making it sound. When you draft a QB just to draft one you end up with Manuel and Geno Smith and Gabbert etc
If you aren’t drafting top 5 or 10 in a good QB draft you need to find a guy who has the traits you look for in an offense.
The one thing college coaches don’t do is prepare their QBs to be successful NFL QBs... It’s all about winning now in college
Andrew Lucks and Peyton Manning’s are going to be rarer and rarer

If your starters get held out by their parents or god forbid actually get hurt you are gonna struggle now matter how well you coach fundamentals.....your best players play and the kids that are not as talented get sprinkled in to get their plays and you cover them up as best you can because all the kids deserve to play if they show up for practice.
I thought that our bills coaching staff got a lot out of a little last year when they started sending off our core players for draft picks.....I dont know if people understand what a great job that was by McDermott to even have us in a POSITION to be able to make the playoffs.
McDermott is gonna lean on his defense this year.
Yes I agree there is no next man up in pop warner. You have the stars, then the kids who are playable and then the rest.
when your best kids go down in pop warner you can’t replace them
Everybody in the NFL is very talented no matter their stat line or pedigree. Some like Freddy or Victor Cruz or Adam Theilin or Kurt Warner were just waiting for their next man up opportunity

1) I don't think we are talking about the same league. The NFL is not truly a next man up league. It's not. It's a who has the QB, who has the coach and who has health kinda' league.
2) Just because a QB wasn't the next man on your board doesn't mean it's a moot point when you don't take one and he pans out while you struggle to fill the position. Fireable offenses aren't moot points. Critical mistakes? Yes. Moot points? No.
Your pop warner rah-rah attitude is commendable but totally unrealistic wrt professional football.
It’s not a pop warner philosophy.
Its the philosophy I learned playing division 1 football and scouting and coaching
The NFL is all about coaching and staying healthy as a team., a backup QB just won the SB because his team was very well built
Building the best roster from the ground up so it can win with any QB is the recipe for success . Everyone wants a franchise QB but they don’t grow on trees

I am not sure why people don't understand that a decision is not made right or excused merely by the degree of conviction of the decision maker.
Mahomes rode the pine all year but Watson had an absolutely historic start to his career...........how does saying McDermott didn't want Watson make McDermott look wise?
Beane and McD will most likely succeed or fail due to the QB decisions in the 2017/2018 drafts...............their conviction means nothing at all..........only the results matter.
Although I do sympathize with Beane if Allen doesn't work out because he is tied to McDermott so he will have to own McDermott's 2017 draft even though he was not with the organization. Not hiring Beane in January made no sense but sure did confuse a lot of media who then wondered aloud........"hey it's so out of the box to bring in the matching GM AFTER the HC and lame duck GM have made a full offseason worth of key personnel decisions........maybe other teams will do the same!"?
I never made an excuse or said it was right. Watson can be a superstar and yea it would have been nice to draft him
but if he wasn’t going to be a bill it’s a moot point. Of course McDermott and Beanes tenure are tied with Allen’s success or failure
I don’t make excuses in football. Not injuries, not lack of talent, not lack of WRs, nothing. For 100 years it’s been next man up and everybody prepares as a starter, atleast on good teams
You are as good as your weakest link

The most interesting part to me is that the Chiefs got their QB from the pick they acquired from the Bills..............then turned around and signed the guy who had been the Bills #1WR in Sammy Watkins.
I felt that Tre White was going to be a stud when they drafted him............but it should be Mahomes or Watson throwing to Sammy Watkins in Buffalo this year.
I like the Josh Allen gamble but they kinda' kicked the QB decision down the road one season too many IMO.........lead to them dumping A LOT of talent......studs Watkins and Cordy Glenn at two of the leagues' "money" positions...........as they desperately tried to assure they had the draft assets to move up for a QB in 2018.
Now they have on paper a utterly suspect OL and a terrible WR corps. All other things being equal KC's young QB has a MUCH better supporting cast than Buffalo's will and that matters a lot.
The common thread between Goff and Wentz last year was their teams loading up on supporting talent.
People who assume the Bills will just spend a bundle in FA next offseason to replace lost or missing assets on offense are making a very big assumption.
You assume that is if McDermott wanted Watson or Mahomes.
maybe he did not and he obviously didn’t want Sammy either.
its not an ideal situation for a young QB but Mahomes and Allen are both very similar prospects,I even had a higher grade on Allen. So at the end of the day I can live with Tre+ Allen
i didn’t like the Sammy trade but I’m over it. He’s cuckoo for coco puffs

Look at the QBs Stevie Johnson played with and how bad the coaching and team was. He still has 3 years that we’re as good or better then any other Bills WR ever. He needs to be on the team IMO
Reed, Moulds , Lofton, Dubenion , than Stevie
Yea he had the 3 1000 yards seasons barley , but he was force fed by Fitz who isn’t a horrible QB. He’s a 10 year vet
Fitz made Stevie’s career and he never did anything after him

Donnie Henderson ?
i may be wrong of course. But that year Leodis learned to turn around on time and then become the receiver. Often beat his guys but struggled mightily to deflect the ball even when in position.
I used to cringe when Anyone thew deep on him. you just knew we were screwed.
and then he got it. and then he was injured.
cruel fate.
keep hustlin aint no lieNot sure. It could be Henderson, I was just shooting.
I thought Byrd had a stint here 5 years ago but last year was his first and only
so yea prolly Donnie Henderson

Witcher 3 is probably the best game on ps4.
I’m a big fan of the Souls series, so Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne are must plays.
Of course any Elder Scrolls game is a must play, although I maintain that Skyrim was trash compared to Oblivion. Completely dumbed down in almost every way although is gorgeous to look at.
I’ve been desperate for a new game, but I’m usually very underwhelmed by most titles these days. I really only love RPGs and there hasn’t been many great titles of late.
Sadly that is how many games are going. Better to look at but not as In depth...
Oblivion isn’t as deep as Morrowind either

Always loved Pitfall and Defender back in the day.
The best of the old arcade style games is "Galaga" however.
LOVED that game.
You can play it online for free nowadays!
Would have saved me a lot of quarters back in the day.
Sounds very much like the Fallout games in concept, even if it's a different setting.
I'm a giant Fallout fan so I will probably really like Skyrim as well.
Fallout 3 was Bethesda’s project after making The Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion
Gameplay is similar and Bethesda does a tremendous job on both. They take 5-7 years each project

As someone who has gotten every madden for 20+ years that is not the case anymore.
it got really stagnant around 2005 to around 2014-2015
but the last 2 versions have been really well made. Madden 17 was great and 18 is even a better step up... if you can get past the Brady cover
game mechanics have been very good and improved last 2 years
