  1. I sure hope none of you folks play the stock market!  You would be buying and selling at the drop of a hat.  But, fortunately it doesn't really matter what any of us think, the coaches will continue to coach him, and give him at least through next season to grow.  Assuming he continues to have good games mixed in with the bad, like so far this year! 

     

    Sunday was a really bad day for him, against a really good team, so be it.  It's not the end of the world, and certainly not the end of his career.  I do think he was overwhelmed by the enormity of the day though.  This was a big, big game, against a really good team.  The build up was enormous, and I have feeling he let it get to him, and he froze.  It's happened to all of us, it certainly has happened to me early in my career.  The only way to get better at handling that is to live through it.  The next time won't seem so big, and he'll handle it much better.  

     

    We shall see!  

     

  2. I'll be watching the WR competition as well, but I expect a big jump this year in production no matter who makes the team just because of the change at QB, I think the WR's will have a better chance of making plays.  It was a tough couple years for those guys, TT was a great guy, but not very effective at hooking up with WR's. 

     

    I'm more interested in both lines.  They brought a lot guys in, I think there's going to be some fierce competition in the trenches.  

  3. I think Cleveland has a good chance of holding onto the top spot.  I know they just got their QB, but the team is still young, they will take time to come around, and their coach stinks.  Seriously, 1-31 over the last two season?  Who keeps a job in the NFL with that record?

    Maybe I am just fatigued with this painstaking lead up to the draft.  Maybe I am just annoyed that the jets WILL get one of the top 2 or 3 qbs in the draft.

     

    However, I have gone from being fine with not over paying to get to 3 to...well...i'd feel better if we got to three, even knowing we may have to, or could have, rolled with the Giants for 2.

     

    We'll soon see.  I have enjoyed aspects of this year's draft, but I need the first round to be over and Thursday can't come soon enough.

     

    Go Bills.

     

    if regrets over not getting to 3 already well covered, Mods please feel free to lock.

    Nope, I'm good with staying put and loading up on talent.  This is a process, as McBean like to say.  Look at some of the teams that have won it all, they didn't have high first round franchise QB's.  Last year is a prefect example.  You have to build a complete team, and have a good quarterback that can hit guys when they're open.  Build a great defense, along with a great running game, then all you need a guy like AJ McCarren to manage the game.  I think trading away the farm for an unknown player is a really bad idea.

    As I said before, it depends who’s there. You don’t trade up for the spot, you trade up for the player.

    Unless you trade high enough.  That said though, I'm still not convinced McBean will pass up the opportunity to get several talented player for one?  That doesn't mean the won't move up though.  Bean appears to be a pretty sharp due, he may be able to get up there in ways we can't see from where we stand?  It is rather exciting.  Next week is going to be glacial leading up to the start of the draft.

    I don’t like the draft coverage. In recent years I’ve barely watched and just waited to see the pick video online. I think it’s combination of the annoying spoiling, the ill-timed commercials, and the hype machine that just makes me want to look away. When they spread it to three days that sealed the deal for me. The draft was once a great event, but now it’s completely up its own ass.

    Yeah, I just check my phone now to get updates.  I can waste that much time watching it.  

  7. No problem.  The only way the I see the Colts trading out of #3 is if they stay with Luck.  Otherwise they will stay put and take a QB, no?  If they do stay with Luck then the trade is just about giving them  enough trade value for a #3.  Not sure McBean will be interested spending that much capital?

    Rolling the trade that already happened with the trade that could maybe, possibly happened was a very effective way to.....muddy the entire picture. 

    I know right!?! That's what makes it so interesting, and fun.  But, why not.  I know the the straight up trade value of picks for picks does not seem like enough for #4, but the Taylor addition might be enough to tip the scale?

    Why would they make half of a trade official?

     

    I dunno, maybe so they could move TT over now so he can start getting acclimated, and the Bills don't want others to know what their planning yet?  Strategery.

    That's not the best way to gain credibility as a new poster on a forum

    Darn, didn't know that was important.

    I hope you’re right.

     

    It would mean we are taking Mayfield.

     

    Cleveland takes Darnold and Giants taking Rosen.

    Right.  Good scenario.

    Nothing in your post seems like an opinion. Sorry if I interpreted it incorrectly

    No worries.  I did purposely write it to sound like someone who knows something, very convincing, no?  Why not, seems to be the way to write on this board! :lol:
