  1. Can you really even call a 37th overall pick a "bust" after one season?  I just feel like it doesn't work, it's too dramatic for the pick.  He can be "disappointing", or "not the answer" at this point but "bust" should be reserved for top-10 picks after a single season.  A 37th pick doesn't really become a bust until they completely fade into obscurity as far as I'm concerned.

    You are being too generous. Mastery may come later, but by the second year if a WR from the first 3 rounds isnt showing more than a modicum of competency, it is highly unlikely he will ever be able to turn it around. 

     

    So it's way too early to call him a bust, got it.  I agree.

    Maybe we Bills fans have a soft spot for guys who got bad breaks. A little WNY bias is fine in my mind. But I get the point. 

     

    Yeah I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade sorry, I just have to imagine that simply due to training advancements, supplementation, exercise science etc. that a strong arm in 2018 is just completely beyond a strong arm in 1970.

    Should have drafted a QB....

     

    The illustrious DeShone Kizer or Davis Webb?  The three QBs even worth looking at were already taken.  And then we took Peterman.

     

    Makes me think that just hanging at #12 instead of trading up may really be the best option.

     

    Also just realizing that this was likely sarcasm, my bad, long night

     

  4. I'm really happy about the awful moves that the rest of the AFC East is making.  It's like a fantasy football draft with three guys that haven't watched football in two years.  Jeremy Hill?  Cordarrelle Patterson?  Frank Gore?  Now Terrelle Pryor? Is Reggie Cobb available?  None of these teams have made an offensive splash this off-season, if we can get a single game changer in addition to Shady we'd have the upper hand.

  5. I get the point of the thread and don't disagree, but nobody should be willing to anoint Blake Bortles as an acceptable starting QB after one season of very mediocre play.  

     

    My point is that our QB situation is terrible, but many of these other QB situations in the league are far from ideal.  It's not a stretch at all to think that even McCarron could join the ranks of the painfully average Bortles/McCown/Bradford/Tyrod tier.
