I'd argue he hasn't grown a bit as a passer so far. He's exactly as advertised with the exception of being a much bigger double threat. However, that may be more a product of him not handling his reads as well as he should. He's still a big armed athletic thrower with accuracy issues who doesn't always process his reads correctly or fast enough. I like his leadership. None of this is a problem right now though. He's done a good enough job so far on a really bad team. Growth typically doesn't happen during the season for a rookie. It's far more likely that it'll happen in the offseason, and then maybe during the next year as he irons out what he needs to. The biggest thing for me is that he learns how to control power. He might be able to throw a ball 65MPH in shorts, but sometimes he doesn't put enough heat on the ball, other times (flats) he puts way too much, and his trajectory on deep balls leaves a lot to be desired. Those are all fixable, and I expect him to make a massive jump assuming he has the appropriate coaching, which is far, far, far from a foregone conclusion.

In LA, Kansas City and San Francisco.

It's called inference. It's a thing. Well, for some of us it is. He should use that physical talent to hit someone once in a while. I haven't seen him bury a player yet.

He has one int because he's rarely targeted. There was a stretch of games this year you could be forgiven for thinking he wasn't even playing because he just eliminated his opponent from the game. He's absolutely elite tier.

Must have missed Ramsey getting roasted this year.

Thurman won us SB 25 and Kelly lost it for us.

Trolling.

False. Former QBs have one set of experience: theirs. Analysts, whose job is to understand and break down the play of QBs have watched thousands. Every time I hear somebody say I've been doing X for 25 years, as some sort of basis for a claim, I know there's a high chance something stupid is about to come out of their mouth. If QB's were so great at breaking down QBs, more of them would be coaches.

How many films did Roger Ebert direct? How many former chefs hand out Michelin Stars? Most good critics come from a background that emphasizes consumption of a tremendous amount of content, and deduction skills to properly analyze what they consumed. All Chris Collinsworth knows is "back when I was a wide receiver".

They look like arena league uniforms. The Bills have an iconic classic look in Blue and white that they should wear until the NFL disbands. Why do people always want to screw with the Bills/Sabres uniforms so badly? We have some of the best in both leagues.

You don't need to play the position to be a critic or perform good analysis. In fact it's kind of irrelevant.

3000 yards is a useless goal. every QB in the league throws for that if they play 16 games. If they don't, odds are incredibly strong they;ll never start again. The new standard for a good QB is 4000 yards, of which Brees has 12. Without looking, I'm gonna guess that's 12 more than in Buffalo Bills history. he also happens to have 5 seasons where he threw for 5000 yards and one more that was 48 yards shy.

You must've missed the part where he plays for the lions who consequently rank #22 in Passing - go figure. Believe what you want, your take is bad now and it will look ridiculous with age.

Woods is a very very good player. He plays on a team with a disgusting amount of weapons and still gets his. This argument doesn't help your case

You shouldn't be starting Lions in fantasy. He's a second year player out of the MAC becoming an NFL elite player before our eyes. This isn't the first or the last time he'll beat an elite CB. He'll be a top 10 guy next season if the lions can figure out what the hell they're doing.

Golladay is already closing in on 1000 yards. He's been a beast all season.

Zay should probably be our #4 going into next year until his play dictates otherwise. Unfortunately this is an atrocious FA WR class. It's going to take trades or immediate impact rookies to change the makeup of our group going into next year in any sort of meaningful way. The absolute best we could hope for, as it stands, would be to get someone like Funchess, and he's not even that good.

In an ideal world, Foster is no higher than #2 on our depth chart. He's a bit of a one-trick pony at this stage. Hopefully he continues to improve, but we still need a legitimate #1 in a massive way.

I'm free. I guarantee I couldn't do worse.

Usually #1's have it all - size, speed, strength, elusiveness, route tree, catching, hands, etc. There should be little that they can't do better than most #2's in the league. Sometimes they aren't the biggest (Brown), or the fastest (Fitzgerald), but that usually means that some other aspect of their game has to be so special that it overcompensates for their deficiencies. When i think of prototype #1's I think of guys like Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens. Obviously, it doesn't mean Jerry Rice wasn't better than all of them being slower and shorter, but that's what I ideally want when I'm looking for a #1.

Where's the blueprint? This is just a review of what everyone has already seen.

There are a lot of other things that are illegal that the NFL doesn't give af about, so that's not a super valid reason. Legality does not equal morality.

BPA. Barkley is the best player to come out in years. Every single win the giants have is off of his back. With a mildly competent offensive scheme, they'll be in the playoff hunt for the next 8 years. If they can find good QB play, they'll be championship contenders with no other additions. Elite RBs get a bad name when teams like the Sanders Lions, the Peterson Vikings, and the Tomlinson Chargers think they can just run the ball every play and win championships. The kid is sensational, and it was all on tape for every GM to see prior to the draft. The jury's still out on all the QBs, but the case is closed on Barkley.

I'm not stoked about Edmunds at this point. So far he hasn't shown me anything special to offset his lack of skill at the MLB position. As a general rule, I believe it's best to build your team around a high floor, rather than a high ceiling. The NFL as a whole makes way too much out of potential. We see it as it plays out with regards to trades. Until the mega-trades this year, it was common to get lower draft compensation Insert other media for proven commodities than what they would cost if you drafted them in April, and that always blew my mind. I'll take the guy that can play football over the combine warrior if their draft slot is equal 10 times out of 10. There are so many guys that weren't prototype players that turned into HOFers in this league, that I think it's ridiculous to watch teams gamble on "upside". Edmunds isn't a smash mouth tackler, so it already has me worried about what his true ceiling is. Through season one, I think we would've been better off with Preston Brown, and that doesn't encourage me. This kid has a mountain of hype to climb in order to be worth of the compensation they used to draft him. The Bills would never ever do it, because they're the Bills, but I think Edmunds belongs on the strong side, with a true MLB that can shut down the run inside.

No, you just lack the ability to be moved at all from your stance, and I don't waste my time with people like you.
