Call it what you will. I just preferred not to pay a quarterback 16 million dollars a year to do what Tyrod does. His quarterbacking in the playoff game set the forward pass back a half century. I cannot believe any fan who watched him play the last three years would sign up for it again. But, different eyes see different things I suppose.

Even if we end up with the #1 pick I will not be praying for the return of Tyrod Taylor.

Sadly my degree is in English Lit.

Agreed, but to your point you have no first hand knowledge of him to say otherwise, right? If responses on messageboards were based on 1st hand knowledge we would all be NFL Executives or Journalists. My opinion, which in reality means nothing and no one is paying for, is based on what I saw of the guy over the last year. Like I said, just my opinion.

And confidence is important. But confidence has to have deep roots or its just arrogance. I think it's a big deal for a person's confidence to grow with a strong base of understanding who you are. It's the difference between Rex and McDermott. I loved Rex, but after awhile it become clear his confidence had no depth to it and people dont respond to that type of confidence. I think we will see the same thing with Rosen.

If Josh Rosen won more games, threw less interceptions, and didn't miss multiple games because of injury his politics and intelligence wouldn't be an issue. Rosen may be a genius, but the narrative about how wordly and smart the guy is when compared to his actual comments seem misguided. I think he comes across as an immature kid who has no idea who is. If you're looking for a guy to lead a team you don't want a person who blows in the wind not someone who is constantly searching for who they are. Rosen comes across as the guy who wants to discuss philosophy at length to show you how smart he is, but has no actual idea about real life. Just my opinion. And just for the record the comparison to Callaway is inane. Rosen didnt drop to round three, he was picked 10th overall, so NFL Executives werent that terrified of him.

To start the year I think Jake Browning has earned the right to be considered the #1 QB. I think that changes as the year progresses and Drew Lock eventually becomes the number 1 guy, but that will depend a lot of his ability to increase his completion % and win some games at Mizzou. Ryan Finley gets a lot of hype, but I think he is a consistent yet underwhelming prospect. Think he is more of a late 1st round guy. One guy to keep an eye on is Andrew Ford from UMASS. Plays at a terrible program, but he has all the tools.

Given the fact that only about 30% of Quarterbacks become good players in the NFL, any player who "makes it" is the anomaly.

No thank you. He is a five sack a year guy who doesn't play the run well. There is a reason the Broncos jumped alll over Bradley Chubb when he dropped.

I mentioned this in another thread. I think its very realistic to think the Bills could be picking #1 next April. In terms of Bosa vs Bosa, Nick may have a year like no other, but I would say currently he doesn't measure up to Joey as a prospect. He isn't as good against the run, and he isn't as good as a passer rusher.

I think the team is setup well long term. My worry is more about the short term. In my opinion, there is a real chance the Bills end up with the first overall pick in 2019.

Not sure Foster makes the team. Not a productive guy in college, and the speed stuff is a bit overblown. Of the long shots I think Cam Phillips has a better shot, but the competition in camp should be fun to watch.

Lol, the moment everyone knew it was probably over for poor EJ.

So he is playing quarterback or kicker?

Anyone else hate linebacker numbers in the 40s?

Christian Kirk.

Like this and the Foster pickup. Well done.

Never forget meeting Martin Nance at training camp. Totally nerded out on him. Was still in college then. Hope I know better now. My worst moment as a Bills fan.

Thought his name was Ike?

Incredibly excited about this pick. I think we got a more athletic Anthony Barr, and cannot wait to see him lead our defense. I've heard people say he is a bit raw, but I think he will produce quite well in his first year.

A). McDermott and the roster of the 2017 Buffalo Bills made the playoffs. There were 15 other games before New Years Eve and to say it was one pass by Andy Dalton is wrong. If they were 5 and 10 going into New Years they wouldn't have made it. B). Can we please stop with the Lamar Jackson garbage.

No need to wonder, he isnt getting on the field this year. I am not even 100% sure he will be number 2 on the depth chart. I am behind the pick but he isnt ready to play.

I always wondered if anyone really enjoyed this part. For me, its one of the most irritating parts of the draft.

Tandem Bike salesman. He and his brother had a shop here a few years ago. Dont you remember the commercials?

I went through and watched four games of each of the top five quarterbacks and came away having these issues with Rosen Not a consistent winner (56%) Not overly athletic and will struggle moving in and outside of the pocket. Accuracy will drop when asked to throw on the move. Has a tendency to hold the ball too long Struggles with accuracy on deep passes While he has good mechanics overall he tends to throw off his back foot or across his body Batted balls were surprising
