I thought it was Kiko? Which turned into Shady McCoy. I hear about how the Bills traded up for Manuel a lot, as much as it was a bad pick, they knew the QB's were not good and traded back. I think Nix had a chance to trade back a few more spots but got nervous and pulled out.
All teams miss on high picks. Every single gm ever. Realizing your mistake and moving on is part of what separates men from boys. Most gm’s stick with their high picks who are underperforming because they are aftraid of the media blowback and assumptions people will make. Kinda like your assumption.
dont know anything about this guy but the Pats waiving their 3rd round pick is part of why they are successful. Once a guy is on their team, they are all judged equally, perform and work or get cut. Most other teams will not waive last years 3rd round pick.
You dont need a strong arm to be among the best QB's but there is nothing wrong with a strong arm. What is common among the best QB's is pre and post snap processing and throwing accurately and on time.
Maybe most inexperienced but I would take the Bills QB's over the Titans, Bears, Jaguars, Broncos, Cardinals. Maybe Browns.
That can change a lot once bullets fly
Yeah I think if Chubb is off the board the Bills pay a lot more for Allen. The Bills just had way more ammo and were willing to use it. so I dont think the Cardinals were a real threat there. What I would love to know is what order the Bills had the QB's in. Also would like to know if the Cardinals would have drafted Allen over Rosen. Some of that we wont know for years.
It is not a myth....lets revisit after the first round.
You will not convince me that all the trades for "draft capital" from last year (including the Glenn trade) and this year are to get the best QB prospect they can get their hands on. They are screaming the want to get as high in this draft as they can without actually saying it.
I am sure my post came off as some mock of Emmitt Smith but it was not meant to be. He was great but he also benefited from a great team around him that focused on running the ball. A lot of his TD's were based on a team that just dominated the other. The NFC did have better competition but they were the kings over a 4 year period. When it comes to recieving, Thurman had a much larger average, he was like a WR at times whereas Smith got his catches as a dump off. I wonder what would happen if they had switched teams but keep everything else the same? I actually think they were both the ideal RB for their offense.
Emmitt was really durable and consistent and had more stats but Thurman was the better all around back. That Dallas team had the best OL in NFL history or close to it.
