Know what was special about the 83 qb class and why it's remembered as a once in a generation class? It's the 83 qb class, a once in a generation class! No need to be remembered as it won't soon be forgotten.

Just let it play out. I want #2 as bad as anyone, but if it is meant to be it'll be. Really all we can do is wait at this point. Hopeully the panic induced yesterday wanes and we can just see what happens. The paranoia in acting like Beane has come out and said no way no how has to subside. Let it play out and save the ledge jumping for when we have a clear picture. Right now? Who knows. 3 might have been the target. 2 might have been it all along. Again- Who knows?

I waited all day for a true Nick Foles sighting and here it is. Thanks for that!!

Well, if that's the case end thread. It's got no where to float, but up!

Oh please, have you SEEN some of the stuff on here? You have a 50/50 chance of it being a serious post in the 1st place. The fact youve now wasted 2 posts to point out what a jerk i am speaks to how engaging this thread really is... My my...

For real? Taking the trade a little hard I see. Good thing you are so even keeled and didn't over react! Luckily a poll will back you off the edge..

Unfortunately, people don't tend to key word tag their own posts as 'waste of a click ' . If they did, your advice would be SPOT ON Spell check can't catch em all lol. Shld I just toss the phone into some SCALDING hot lava and call it a day?

Troll game strong

So.. looking up and down the board... there wasn't a SINGLE topic you felt this would have been appropriate for and matched to? Did your parents deprive you of the match game as a child?? Or is this just such a scolding hot take you felt it was worth signing your name to so the world could see??

From me and you, you and me, if that's your assessment you are entitled to it. But that's not what matters. If they feel there is, and they LOVE a guy- go get him. Even if it's not my preference (allen) bc I trust they know better. Now if they aren't in love w any of them then fine. I think there is a guy they quite like at the very least

In fairness, neither of us know if there is or isnt...

Mr Gettleman? Is that you?

That would be the afore mentioned 1 yr wonder. It happens... but I don't want to have everything go our way 1 yr and then back to avg.. I want to try and find the guy who makes it on the regular. It's a rare and special thing.. but When ya hit it's gotta b o so nice:)

I think it has something to do w that method has been tried multiple times and you might get lucky 1 yr but w out a fqb, there won't be any staying power. Great teams have great qbs. This team has infused rosters w talent all to see it go for not...bc they came up short at the most important position. **edit- it's the QB... the qb is the most important position****

Jets folks seem to think the 2 my just don't make moves w each other... no matter what

I agree and hope. Assuming they have identified a guy they love, with the connections as such, I've always figured it'd be number #2. Also, I became resigned to the thought it will take 3 #1 and change. Anything less is a pleasant surprise. I guess i think its easier when I consider you will have to pay for the pick of the guy you love and that all along I've subscribed to the thought that this years 2 #1s wouldn't be enough. I feel like the flip side is someone views each #1 pick as a huge deal and i guess they wouldn't be wrong. Personally, I've just viewed everything as adding to the cache of picks to package for their guy. Now.. as much as this hurts to say the ONLY reason I'd put this reasoning aside is if they aren't in love w anyone. Don't draft a qb just to draft a qb a la ej. But also, don't not blow your wad but still try and keep up w the Jones a la jp. Besides, they seem to be pretty good at finding hole fillers. Not having a 1 next yr w all the cap room will be ok and if the guy hits you can start adding 1st rounders by the time he is ready to fly yr 3. Just my take

I hope darnold/Rosen as well, but for the smoke screen tea leaves crowd it is worth noting that baker seems to be the 1 guy that no one as mentioned or associated specifically w the Bills. The others seem to have had their time as their supposed favorite Haha if true and w the way things have been around here, how does this not have it's own thread, or 4?

terrible post missed the mark on entertaining, humor, AND sarcasm. essentially the sucky trifecta. honestly, a post simply saying " i dont like josh allen" would have conveyed your point better AND more importantly been less redundant. I'd say better luck w/post #2, but after this doozie hopefully the powers that be realize this might be a little too much for you to handle. I guess anyone just posts whatever they want now a days and things get crazy. Wild world kids... wild world..

agree, but i also kinda feel like a few knocks on a few diff guys are rather nit picky. I guess that goes with the talent of the class. The 13 class for example had a bunch of SERIOUS questions. This year with the talent being better, some things seem more trivial IMO fair enough... but just fwiw none of this OR that has anything even remotely close to do with throwing a football and his ability to do so.

I have no idea what it'll take. Getting to this point and adding ammo has been pretty easy and pain free. At somepoint, its gotta hurt. MAYBE the damage will be minimized as McBeane has been pretty spot on and done well thus far. I'm just simply saying, IF thats what it takes - then they will be able to be the high bidder save a Ditka move. Personally, I'm preparing for this years 2 1s and next years 1. If it happens to be less, then im surprised. If not, Im prepared and wont be aghast if it happens. Either way, based on what we have witnessed and how this has played out thus far I think they know and plan on doing what it takes to make their guy happen. This goes both ways though... reading other teams boards their ask is crazy high. Reading our board fans projection of what it will take is prob low. Hopefully a happy medium will be struck. im not sure i'd use the word 'many' describing the amount of people who see AJ as a potential FQB, the team included. I dont know McBeane personally, but common sense combined with his contract is telling. Its a bridge contract if there ever was one and is about as low and disposable as they come. With where this team is at, and how early it is, there cant be a mark at 12. Rather, its the 1st shoe dropping. Your thoughts are well organized, but id argue the whole thing falls apart based on your premise. There hasnt been one iota of evidence based on how the offseason has been played that suggests your premise is even a remote possibility. One might even call it 'irrational'

I think this is because at this point (and this is really going to make a small intense faction of folks here pissed) ya gotta pay the price. For example, if a team offers xxx for #2, the Bills prob have the ammo this year to match. If the ante gets upped to three 1's - then it can still be matched and BUF still would prob have the leverage up better ammo due to 2x this year. They have essentially hedged their bets and put their eggs in their basket. They have a guy they LOVE and now the price will have to be met. The next move will prob hurt, but theyve come this far they are kinda stuck... and thats ok! It would be hard for them to be out bid, and they are in a position where they have to kinda keep up with the jones. Sure, some here will say McCarron is/was insurance or the always popular lets trade for Nick Foles... but their fate has essentially been cast. They wouldnt have done all this if they DIDNT believe the target is a franchise changer. Now whatever it takes to land him needs to and will be done. Flame away Foles-Flock!! IF this were to happen this issue is easily solved simply by adding next yrs #1. Not ideal, but problem solved

quit clown'in

not to be a jerk... but who cares? we saved cash- have a bit of an unknown- gained an asset- and TT is no longer our problem. woulda, coulda, shoulda, but it is what it is. Moot point. Lets look forward

Agreed, ESP if the target is Rosen. I think we will be in for a rude awakening with out tyrod in one (and only one) sense and we got a sneak preview to a degree last year in LA. We have gotten use to his escapability and with out arguing about how many sacks were on him holding the ball too long etc. Itd be nice to not have the kid turn into David Carr (exaggeration of course) but you get the idea. That said, if they emphasize 2/3 step drop and out (something TT couldnt do) maybe itll cut down on him getting killed. Regardless of who, and their talent, we dont wanna get the kid killed ESP if for some reason he needs to be rushed.

touche!
