  1. Its very simple, to me. Now is it 100% racist? No it is not. Analysts and talking heads talk out of both sides of their mouth. Allen has potential and Jackson is a project. Jackson played in a more advanced offense, played tougher competition and still completed a higher % of his passes than Allen. With Allen, everyone who is a supporter of his points to the level of play surrounding him as a reason for his low completion %. Now this is where is gets interesting, when you adjust completion % for drops Allen only gets a few % point bump and Jackson gets a 10% bump. Jackson's adjusted completion % is second among the top QBs with Mayfield being first. On film you can see why a few of Jackson's balls sail. His feet get too close together. With proper balance he throws with very good accuracy. I dont really see how some can overlook some of Allen's weakness for his strength and with Jackson overlook his strengths to concentrate on his weaknesses. That is point of what they are talking about.
  2. If he can recover from his injury he would be a massive upgrade for the secondary. He is outspoken but he is also incredibly smart. I think he would give Buffalo a bit of swagger they have not had in years. McDermott saw what a good big corner could do for a defense when he had Norman. I would be in favor of the move and fits the scheme Buffalo plays.
  3. Marrone. Results and accountability. Rex to me would run a buddy system. Your "his" guy you can do whatever you are not you carry the slack his guy dropped.
  4. I would target rosen and i would try to move up and get him to the highest spot. Takes 2 to play so if the top teams dont want to draft in 20s they may just have to hope there giy falls enough. Imo ideally you move to the bottom of the top 10 with san fran. Keep 22 and get a linebaker as well.
  5. In todays news cycle and click baiting I completely understand the question. Who talks to the press? Who keeps things in house? I think its a fair question to ask when every players agent is giving them cliche answers.
  6. I like it. Low risk high upside. Not just a camp guy. Has the physical talent to catch on. Agree. They need bodies at DE, RB, and CB right now. Ivory and Davis have shown success in the league, but are old and coming off poor years. The DE has been a workout warrior but cant get on the field. He has the measurables but needs to makes plays. I think best case he is this years yarbourough, worst case he gets cut.
  7. Beane's experiance drafting Newton I would not be suprised Jackson would be highly thought of in Buffalo. He needs to work on his footwork coming from under center. He has the arm talent and strength to make every throw. He is more accurate than Allen with just as much upside. Taylor a bridge to Jackson makes alot of sense to me. I would prefer Rosen but Jackson could end up being better.
  8. Farve was a very similar type of player. Stafford, and Culter also come to mind.
  9. If Vick worked at his craft he would have been great. Even Vick without the dog fighting would be a very good Qb. Jackson has just as much potential and the ability to be great that Allen has. I don't understand how people knocking Jackson and not Allen. Teach him 3,5, and 7 step drops and proper foot work he could be one of the best players in the league IMO.
  10. Mayfield knows what era he lives in so the comparison to the 80s and 90s is pointless. Small not overly athletic with off the field concerns is why I would not draft him in rd 1.
  11. Lol listen to the "scout guys" Lois Riddeck, Bucky Brooks. All crushed Darnold because, its about competing. They always end it with we understand timing will be off so we undertand it. Rosen and Jackson struggle with timing and get knocked for the same thing they said the wouldnt do. Alllen had to prove he can be accurate. Rosen had to prove he wasnt an erogant douche. I think both did what they needed. Darnold didnt have to prove anything sohe didnt.
  12. This is why Darnold didnt throw and why he was right not to. Allen has all the hype and can throw it a mile. No one is going to throw better next to him.
  13. In pro sports outside of baseball with how specialized pitching has become, talent tops numbers. Some players can come in and change a franchise others are come in and fit in. Some cant make it. Point being, give me a top qb prospect over 3 average to above average players. You hit on Qb it effects your team more than hitting at any other position. Since the Kelly era Buffalo has hit at every postion in the draft but Qb.
  14. I have to admit using Rosen as a method to move into the top 5 to draft Barkley would be the Billsy thing they could do. I wouldnt but come draft night i never know.
  15. I am biased as a penn st fan but baring injury he will be as good as Elliot and be tops in the league. He runs like Mccoy with the hop steps and change of direction while being 20 pounds bigger and faster.
  16. I think Buffalo goes all in on Rosen. He might have just enough doubt around him Buffalo could pull it off. He is the unquestioned best pocket passer in the draft. Cleveland may be open at 1 when they have 4. NYG with Gettleman may like 21,22, and Glenn to get oline and running game fixed. Indy has alot of holes as well. If im Buffalo and Rosen knocksnout the interviews and visits make it happen.
  17. He looked bigger on the field. 225 i expect him under 4.4. Somewhere in the 4.36 range. I would expect him to be in the top 5 in almost every rb drill.
  18. If they package glenn in a trade i would be happy with brown. A dude that tall will never kill the bench.
  19. Last full year starting Teddy passed for 3200 yards 14 tds and 7 ints. Seems like Taylor production minus the running ability and more ints. Again where is the improvement?
  20. Jackson and Cam are two different players with different styles. What Beane is talking about is the doubt that each are and have faced are similar at the same point in each of their careers. Its easy to play revisionist history and say that everyone expected Newton to go 1 and become a great players but that was not the case. Polian was in the league but those analyst of his ilk all said the same thing. Newton is a run first Qb and cannot win inside the pocket as a pro. He is too inaccurate to be a success. His only positives were his size and running ability. I understand the comparison and believe that it is very similar in terms of his detractors. The style of play that Jackson will have Taylor really could be a perfect bridge Qb for him Taylor has a pretty good feel for when to run, when to throw it away and importantly how to avoid taking big shots. Jackson those a good ball. Like any athletic guy he will miss throws high and outside when he throws from an awkward base. When in rythm Jackson can throw as well as anyone. Like every Qb in this draft not named Rosen, he cleans up some of his foot work and he will be fine.
  21. I would be curious as to which area they see him as an uograde over Taylor. It think If you fot Talor level consistency out of him you would be happy.
  22. I do not see much more than a young Fitzpatrick when i see Keenum. That amazing play vs NO where that defender whiffed on the game ending tackle changed Keenums life. Before that play the narative would be how he choked away a 2 TD lead in the 4th at home. Now he will be paid as a top Qb. I hope Buffalo doesnt break the bank for him though i do think he could be a solid starter.
  23. Really would like davis in the slot but I think this means Buffalo is letting Gaines take some visits and test the market.
  24. Rosen is the best thrower of the football. From a family an up bringing where he is self aware and knows what he is and smart enough to know what he can be. Give me Rosen. He is Matt Ryan before social media. If he slides 1 spot and im Buffalo I move up.
  25. No. Vick showed that on his own ability he could beat alot of teams and carry a team. To believe he never studied his playbook once in atlanta is crazy. He beat Farve in GB in the playoffs. Manzie is at best a middling NFL Qb. No reason to start a pr fire over a camp arm.
