Its in Hue Jackson's and the owner to actually have a team that is not terrible. Hue Jackson doesnt have the time to develop a Qb. i think he deserves a chance to win. They draft a guy they win maybe 5 games and he is fired.

Then 3 years ago why wouldn't he accept the bridge contract Washington offered? Cleveland can offer so much more money than anyone Would you give up 30 mil guaranteed? No one will Denver doesnt have the cap space to make a mega offer. I could see Cleveland offering the first fully guaranteed deal. 100 to 125 mil over 5 years all guaranteed. Cleveland is desperate, and has so much cap space wicked combo for a Fa.

Why? He wants the most money and the most guaranteed money. Cleveland has so much cap space they could give cousins a blank check. I 100% believe Cousins goes to whatever teams pay him the most guaranteed money.

I dont belive that is a guarantee. If Cleveland lands cousins do they have to pick a Qb at 1? No. You are not paying a Qb 100 plus million and take a Qb number 1 overall. The giants could feel they are alot closer than they apear. Get eli a line and a healthy ODB in a contract year you may trade down to pick up more picks to fix the line thise year and get an extra 1 next year to replace Eli.

Moss is 2nd in td receptions he is 41 away. TO is 2nd in yards 7,000 away. Tony Gongzalez is second in receptions over 200 cathes away. Rice has the most all purpose yards of all-time. Rice has the most tds all time. Emmit smith is second and is still 33 away. Is antonio brown the football player in the NFL? Jerry Rice was.

This is not true. 87? Strike shortened season 12 games set the td record moss broke with brady. 22 tds on 65 catches. Thats bananas. Brown is great but calling goat is just recentcy bias.

Some us addition by subtraction. I expect gaines back. Probably not brown. Last year the defense was old and slow. The team had a horrible cap situation and not many picks. There is a good amount of cap space and expect faster linebakers and a better qb. That happens buffalo is even better.

So Keenum wouldnt lead us back in tbe 4th quarter of a playoff game. We need to draft a guy like Brees to win in the playoffs?

10 time all pro. 10 not 5 seasons. Brown doesnt score tds like rice or have his yards per catch like prime rice. Rice has the most ridiculous records. Even now in a pass happy league rices numbers are still unobtainable.

You must not have seen rice play or know how ridiculous his overall numbers are.

No. I think both coordinators are on the hotseat.

I think he would be able to build around Tyrods strengths. I think the Tyrod decision was already made when Mcdermott went to Peterman. I can see Buffalo holding on to Taylor until they find a better option.

I like it. Has the ability to build a scheme around players strengths. I feel comfortable with him and mcdermott devlopng a young qb.

16th scoring defense. A more efficent offense would improve the defense aswell. Bigger picture for me is that the team actually looks equipped to find and or develop a qb. This is not cleveland or a complete rebuild. This team reminds be a little bit of the steelers before Roethlisberger.

Buffalo has a fair amount of cap space and loads of draft picks. The team is not without faults but a Qb with potential and at minimum average play should allow Buffalo to play in this weekend next year and possibly beyond. For a change I am watching games and watching coaches and teams make mistakes the Bills would not.

Yes he looks pretty good but unless you are extremely athletic you dont fet away with that in the NFL.

It is only the first half, but after Tennessee getting smacked by NE and Jacksonville running all over Pittsburgh my conclusion is that Buffalo's defense is good enough. Give Mcdermott and that defense a 21st century offense and Buffalo can become one of the best teams in the conference quickly.

I think Cleveland signs cousins to the first fully guaranteed contract 5 years 115 to 120 all guaranteed half up front. They have over 100 mil in cap space. They trade out of 1 for a ransom and they hope Barkley is there at 4. With later picks in the first rd they take a qb maybe mayfield to develop behind cousins and add some weapons outside. Depending on what Cleveland does in FA and Beane's relationship with Gettleman, I think Buffalo has a chance at either 1 or 2. As long as neither Beane or Mcdermott are put off by Rosen they will move mountains for a chance at either.

Accurate small Qbs without elite athletism or arm strength go day 3 of the draft. His ceiling is Keenum and its taken Keenum 5 years to work his way into a starter. Im not saying Mayfeild cant or wont be a successful Qb. What I am saying based off his physical limitations and coming from a spread offense he is going to take years to develop into a starter imo.

Those guys all graded out off charts athletic for Qb. Mayfeild is not. Thats where im hesitant.

Yes in the Big12 Baker made plays all over the field. Not being an above average athlete I dont see him having that kind of success outside the pcoket vs NFL defense. He is not going to run away from too many defenders if any in the NFL.

Height. and thats it. Crazy to believe that he was considered too small. For Mayfield its more than just height for me. Can he make throws into tight coverage. Can he make throws in small windows. A bigger question for is is will be be able to buy time and make plays after the play breaks down. Wilson played and performed fantastically in a pro style offense at Wisconsin. They are not a Qb freindly team in terms of concepts and play design. Wilson's efficiency running that offense is nothing Wisconsin had seen before or after him. To me the hardest thing to gauge with Mayfield is will he be able to work inside the pocket and inside the confines of an NFL offense. I have serious doubts he can or if he does it will take time. As much time it took Brees. Every Qb has questions but while they are learning on the job who have the easiest routes for success. Arm talent or Athleticism or both allows for more growing pains because while they are learning they are going to do things from sheer talent alone.

I dont have any problem with maturity of leadership from him. At the pro level leadership is aliitle over rated in my eyes. Can you make the throws on time or by time to hit your guys on big plays. Thats really it. Early on and going forward i think those are going to be big issues for Mayfield. Tight coverage, small window throws are going to difficault for him. The ability he shown to extend plays at oklahoma was from a pretty clean pocket. i dont see him being able to extend a play at the NFL level.

To me if there is any doubt I feel they had to make the move. One way or another there is going to be a young Qb with loads of potential on the roster next year. You do not want to start changing Oc on young Qbs. Get a guy that can mold an offense around their strengths. Seems that was what Deenison had trouble doing with Taylor. If Jackson is the best Qb in the teams eyes which is not far fetch Dennison would seem to have no ability to create an offense around him.

As much as Mayfield supporters dont want the Manziel comparison I dont think the Russel Wilson comparison is close to accurate either. Wilson was a high draft pick in Baseball. He is an incredible athlete and his A level athletism is what allows him to evade the NFL rush and make plays with his legs. Mayfield is an average athlete at best and is not the dynamic runner like Wilson. The closet endoresment would be Brees but I will argue Brees is more athletic and the hardest thing to quantify is the work ethic. Brees is at the Brady level. Brees took 3 years before he looked like he could be a starter and 4 before he looked like a franchise Qb. The benefit of going second rd Brees was able to develop. If Mayfield goes early he will not be given the time to develop and I think the sooner he plays the worst he will be. He doesnt have an elite arm or athletism to fall back on and use to help him while he learns the NFL game.
