I don't look at it as a commentary on teaching per se. It's more of an observation that for some, they may have knowledge and understanding of something...but are unsuccessful doing it themselves. In this case making Losman perhaps a better teacher of QBs than being a QB himself. A corallary is that they teach those who can. I admire Losman for pursuing the sport in a way he can successfully contribute.

As George Bernard Shaw said: "Those who can do, those who cannot teach."

I think it's great the OP got to attend this event. How many of the rest of us bought tickets to the draft? So...glad that he offered to share any nuggets he may have gleaned from the event.

Hated when we picked Maybin. I'm a Penn State alum and fan...but I knew he was going to be a bust. Too young for the pros. Good artist, though.

1. Agree with you at Safety. I really thought/hoped they'd resign Marlowe. 2. I thought they'd bring in a veteran corner as well. Perhaps the price was too high. I expect them to draft one since that is a deep position this year. 3. I suspect DL positions were too pricy. They know they're getting star back. Edge is likely a target early in the draft. 4. I think they will still draft OL this draft at some point, or bring in undrafted free agents. They like their competition on the oline and they are bringing back all the starters from last year. 5. With the depth at WR in this draft, teams are likely looking to get younger before they pick up a vet. Darron Lee hasn't distinguished himself in the league. Bojo had one good year.

Harrison Philips looked and sounded so enthused about the gray. 😆

First four picks have a good chance to be QBs. Definitely the first 3. That leaves two teams maximally to pick a non QB ahead of the Dolphins, so Pitts could fall to them. If not, they'll have their choice of top receivers. They could also go Edge. If they are going all in on Tua this year, getting him the best offensive weapons would be a priority.

I've seen mocks with a Tackle going to Cinci. I do think taking Pitts there would be the smart move for Cinci and I hope they nab him before the Dolphins.

That's possible. WR has been forecasted for them in every mock thus far. WR is deep in this draft, though. Give then Pitts and Gesicki and they are pulling a NE move.

Miami is going after Pitts at TE.

Lincoln had that philosophy. He said: "I don't like that man. I must get to know him better."

Happy Birthday, Coach! I gift you with a Super Bowl trophy. Bad news is there is some assembly required.

She was just carrying it for a friend.

I agree largely with what you said. If the Bills reacted the way many on this board react when it comes to free agency, we'd be the Jets.

I think Star's return...especially if he returns in good form...will help our D line as is. Players will be able to play their natural positions rather than having to fill in at 1T. Having said that, I would presume Edge will not be neglected in the draft. Beane will add a FA if one is available and affordable. He doesn't want any glaring holes in any area when the draft is here, so he doesn't have to reach for a position of need. Star's return will also have an impact on our line backer play. A key this year will be staying healthy.

That was the first visual that popped into my mind when the OP posed the question. This is what prodded Belichick to go crazy in free agency.

Beane said yesterday they wanted to get Roberts back but he got better money from Houston.

Just not in the AFC.

Oh I agree that Brown was great his first year with the Bills. In 2020 those receptions went to Diggs, leaving Brown the long ball target. He became as Beane said the "fast ball."

Totally agree with this. He disappeared in the playoffs this year as well as last. Against Houston last year there were balls that he dropped along the sidelines that caused our drives to stall. Balls this year went through his hands or were batted away. I loved Smoke but outside of an occasional long ball he didn't bring much more to the table.

Likely they were getting a lot of questions from the media and wanted to take care of them all at once. Perhaps what they did and did not say serves a purpose in future negotiations with other teams.

I think that McBeane can only say so much. They know we need to improve in a number of areas...running game, pass rush and at TE. But they don't want their current players to hear that they are trash and they don't believe they can improve. They want them to work hard in the off season and in camp. They also are playing it close to the vest so as not to tip any future plans to the rest of the league. Perhaps not having a press conference would have been better. Not sure why they called it.

Don't like that Thursday Night Football is on Amazon Prime exclusively.

I was just responding to the OP trying to suggest a QB controversy. Certainly Mitch is an upgrade at backup QB for this year. Beyond that...you never know.
