Lamar Jackson reminds me way too much of RG3 the comparisons are endless. Heisman Trophy, good arm, athletic and for while he tricked us into thinking RG3 was going to change the position of QB for the better and make pocket passers a thing of the past. Right up until defenses figured him out and just started pounding him to the ground until his skinny frame couldn't take it anymore. I liked RG3 seemed like a good dude and he got left in that one game too long when clearly he was severely injured. I am just worried that Lamar will come in and do the exact same thing is that irrational? Tyrod is another story being behind in the 4th quarter with him at QB I knew we had already lost the game he had no comeback ability or the it factor. I love Rosen as a solid pocket passer that can make all the throws at every level of the defense and is capable of calling plays and audibles and is accurate which is a huge factor for me. He works his butt off and is a perfectionist the fact that he is outspoken on his beliefs doesn't bother me one bit.

Clearly McCarron does am I right?

No he has a big frame. I am just saying that accuracy and timing can help him not be as vulnerable.

Maybe we should try throwing the ball in a position that doesn't leave him vulnerable and exposed so he doesn't get hurt all the time. An accurate QB can make all the difference. If he stays healthy and we put a Rosen or Darnold back there he could absolutely have a monster year. Separation is not the way he plays the game and even if he is cloaked his size makes him a matchup nightmare. I would love to throw to that guy jump ball after jump ball and let him go up and get it.

I have felt since the signing of McCarron it is completely obvious they want a drop back passer. Most of the time you don't want to completely change the game plan with your backup in case of injury. You generally want backup QBs who run the same style of offense. Having Peterman and McCarron says to me that it will be Rosen, Darnold, Allen, Rudolph and maybe Mayfield. No Lamar Jackson I think they have had their fill of running QBs and it took us to a point.

I just don't think our current FO has any interest in a mobile QB. They seem to be gearing more towards pocket passers. Acquiring McCarron and having Peterman on the roster which both have decent athleticism for QB's says allot about the direction we are heading. Rosen, Darnold, Allen all fit even Rudolph fits the description. I think it is very unlikely we go that direction. Anybody who says I haven't seen him play and he is way underrated, I have watched him play and seen him run like a gazelle and has a cannon arm fun to watch wasn't overly impressed with his accuracy.

I expect McCarron to start for maybe a few weeks and then ease the Rookie in. Honestly it all depends on who they draft though. Rosen probably ready day one. Darnold will need a few weeks. Mayfield I would give a few weeks. Allen may need to sit a year or more.

We have been just good enough most years to miss out on being in the top 10 of the draft, yet not good enough to make the playoffs. Mediocrity has killed us for a while now. We have way too much ammo to not pull the trigger on a top QB. My buddy called that Russell Wilson was going to be good before the draft and we could of taken him I couldn't believe we didn't.

It is really funny that people are now worried about political stances. He is a football player not a senator or house of rep.. Not even shooting for mayor at this point. Yeah he becomes the face of the franchise and obviously you don't want allot of controversy. I have heard many interviews with coaches and former players that see that fire inside of Rosen that only a select few possess ( Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees). He is very intelligent and is a perfectionist which bodes well at the next level. Yeah I know allot of Buffalo is overly conservative. I guarantee if he hoists the Lombardi trophy for the Bills you won't care if he voted for the Green Party.

Anything is possible, I didn't think Deshaun Watson was going to come out of the gate on fire either.

Rudolph is a system qb with hugely inflated numbers from a system that rarely anyone becomes successful in the NFL with. He has an ok arm decent accuracy nice touch on his deep balls, yet he is way less accomplished than Rosen who had a crappy team around him and shows incredible accuracy and vision as well as pocket presence and is an intellectual. I personally wouldn't draft Rudolph in the first round he is second or third rd talent probably a career backup.

I worked security for 2 years at Raymond James for the Bucs. I had to break up multiple fights with drunk fans and stand for long periods of time and only made a dollar more than minimum wage. The cops that work those games usually don't pay attention and leave most of the work for the security. The third time I took a punch I left and didn't even collect a check and said screw this. There is a difference between an usher and security more than likely she was an usher. Screw Bennett for always acting like a scum bag he seems to always be in the spot light for the wrong reasons. No a 66 year old paraplegic should not be security but often times security wear the exact same outfits and even work for the same company as the ushers. I had to help throw out people sometimes 5 a game for poor behavior. I will say Bucs fans are the worst fan base in the country.

The velocity that the ball leaves his hand with such little effort is amazing to watch. Unfortunately for him it takes more than that to be a QB you have to be smart and accurate. Losman had a rocket arm and athleticism too never developed anything more than a nice deep ball he had no touch.

I'm honestly sick of fill the holes and wait on a QB. We didn't load up on draft picks this year to sit tight and watch what could possibly be one of the best draft classes at QB go to waste while we have two backup QB's on the roster. Anyone who thinks Beane isn't moving up hasn't been paying attention. We are moving up deal with it and pray it is for the right guy.

I think breaking the drought and giving the fans something to be proud of for the first time in a long time was worth it. On the other hand playing over our heads cost us in this upcoming draft. Kyle Williams locker room reaction was worth it.

I still think with some work and preparation as well as a new OC which we have some creativity and a lil luck Peterman will probably look fantastic in Preseason similarly to last year and make people wonder if McCarron is any better I see allot of similarities between the two QB's. He showed some potential and had some really bad luck and no time against SD. In the snow game he did the best he could and had allot to do with us winning in the end. Throwing him to the wolves against the Jags with the game on the line and he had to make a play it just didn't work out. The Jury is still out.

Allen is a reach at 2 unless they are seeing something I didn't in him. If they are going the he is the next coming of Carson Wentz route. I watched Carson dominate in the lower division didn't see the same player in Allen I think he is too raw. With the right tutor he probably could be great in a few years, how long can we ride McCarron though.

He and or Peterman did not know how to set their protections and he didn't ever audible out of plays making him vulnerable to aggressive defensive game planning could be on QB or OC not sure how that honestly worked.

Good pocket QB's know how to buy time in the pocket and read the defenses and get the ball out on time. Not every play should be a school yard run around and try to find an open guy on the side of the field you were pushed into and either get sacked or throw the ball away. The few times that running around worked it looked cool and was rather entertaining. The rest of the time when you could see wide open receivers down the field getting frustrated because he was too slow on his progressions it cost us allot of games. I think for the most part he made our Oline look worse than it was and I know that right side guard and tackle are subpar to begin with.

What's the cost of not trading up and trying to get our Franchise QB. We have been stuck with mediocrity or less for a long time now. We finally have the draft capital and a group of prospects that look promising to pick from. I for one am at the point where they need to take that step forward. Wetting our taste buds by backing into the playoffs last year just made me yearn for more. Lets go for broke and put it all on who our FO thinks can be our guy for the next 10 or so years.

I have optimism that he understands patience and is letting everyone else show their hand early so he knows where he sits. He already showed patience in getting McCarron and letting everyone else overpay for mediocre talent. I think he is waiting until right before the draft and is gonna move into #1 or #2 and give us Bills fans what we all have been waiting for. McCarron was brought in as a veteran and a backup plan or a placeholder to compete with the rookie in camp. I have faith in this front office for the first time in a while they have shown to be more adaptive and forward thinking than their predecessors.

I say we bet the house move as far up as possible and get our Guy who then will compete with McCarron for the job may the better man win. Better to have two chances at a Franchise QB than one. Quit trying to horde picks all that's what the Browns do the same team that is Betting on Tyrod to bring them to the promise land smh.

Derek Anderson that was taken out of context.

Our pass rush will have the potential to be exponentially better with Star and Kyle in the middle plugging up the gaps. It will force them to run outside more and have to pass more if we can stifle the run giving more 3rd and longs and giving our DEs a chance.

If we truly have our eyes on Rosen we will need to move up in the draft. We have been stockpiling FA DEs with Trent and Owu. I would send either Hughes or Lawson to move up and get in an even better position to draft. Lawson isn't the pass rusher I thought he could be but is still solid at setting the edge which has value.
