Not in my opinion. If the Bills stay at 12 and take a QB, MLB Rashaan Evans should be the target. DJ Chark, Anthony Miller, DeSean Hamilton, and maybe James Washington will be available in the 2nd. MLB is a MUST coming out of the Draft one way or the other and I would also think another coverage LBer, Fred Warner? O'Daniel?
Don't think Evans is there are 22. Heard he may be going sooner.

No telling...I personally would love to see the video.

Kirk has drop tendacies.
-
There is supposedly video evidence of the exgf fighting another female and sustaining her injuries then. Recanting is one thing...providing video evidence is another.

What's crazy is these guys have done little to nothing their entire career and they are about to make millions based on hype/need.

I said 30 minutes of good Football. I’m aware he got more than 30 minutes of playing time. I know you all know the difference between the teams and situations he played in before he played in the 2nd half vs UGA.
There are only two true freshmen I’ve watched play in the last 10 years who I determined at that point in their careers had nfl potential. Andrew Luck and Jake Fromm.
True freshman that played a whole season is what you are getting at. Obviously Tua beat Fromm in those 30 min. You wouldn't draft a qb based on 30 minutes or even mop up duty. However the thread wasn't about that. It was about waiting to see. Imo....and I've watched all the qbs being drafted...Tua has a higher ceiling than them. My guess is if you put him vs them he'd out perform them as he already did Fromm. To me...drafting one if these qbs that are in the draft this year would be a waste of a pick. What is so special about them? Last year you could say wow Deshaun Watson he has it. Is Lamar Jackson or any of those guys that kind of special?
Of course a Gm can't think like that and kind of has to go make as good a pick as he can to please the fans. No Gm is going to say hey lets wait 3 years on the possibility a qb may eventually get drafted by their team. So more than likely Beane will draft a qb. Not one that I think will either make the team better or will be better than who we have.

A&m sucked....wouldn't base my draft on this game.

Sure. !@#$ it. Let’s wait another 22 years! To hell with this draft and our best chance in three and a half decades to land a blue chip QB.
Let’s keep our draft capital and address the !@#$ing guard position!
Blue chip lol

It's interesting to me that Lamar Jackson, who has a "rep" as a "run first QB" or a "RB who throws", in 3 years threw more passes (1086 vs 1026) and threw for more passing yards (9043 vs 9016) than McCarron did in 4 years.
It's not a rap on McCarron of course - he did exactly what he was asked to do in 'bama - although, it is a "watch out" because in his Bengals starts, the one thing he lacked was passing yardage despite throwing to 2 very good WR and a good TE.
To me, it's mostly another sign of how Jackson's mad rushing abilities can blind people to his actual QB chops.
At first I thought the same...wow look at those yards, in less games more yardage. But then I see Jackson threw the ball more but had a worse completion %, fewer tds, and more picks (almost double). You would expect that with the yardage he would have more tds but he doesn't. McCarron also only lost 4 games his entire career. Though it gives him credit for 4 years he was only a 3 year starter. To me if the Bills draft Jackson they'll get a guy that turns the ball over more and is inaccurate with his throws. I don't see him as good as Deshaun Watson. Watson is on another level.
Also have to remember that A.J. got the Bengals to the playoffs and had them ahead until a fumble by the r.b. in the closing minutes and personal fouls by the morons in the defensive back field. Who by the way I would have released after the game after their bonehead plays.
Really a tough call on who to draft. I watch a lot of college ball and each one of these qbs have issues and will need to sit for awhile to adjust. I wouldn't want to be a GM this year.

1) Take the test right now with no practice. I'm betting that's what Jackson did since he's probably the only high profile coming out in decades to not have an Agent who would force him to practice and prepare for the test itself. The truth of the matter is that you can drastically improve your score on standardized tests with a few simple test taking strategies. It's often not indicative of intelligence or processing speed, but prior practice and proper test taking strategies.
and
2) Tell us which questions apply to being a QB on an NFL field in terms of executing an offensive playbook and reading defenses.
Maybe he just didn't think the test was worth a damn so he broke with convention and didn't prepare for the exam.
From the sounds of it, it's possible the kid (and his mother) is so sick and tired of being cajoled time and time again into trying out other positions like punt returner or WR when all he's wanted to be is a QB and he's had historic success at the position after the last couple of years that's he's just at a "take it or leave it," point.
He's going to be playing QB for a football team, he's not going to be a rocket scientist. What's the point of a standardized test?
If you argue it's processing speed or ability to execute an NFL offense, he could just point to his college film over the last 2 years in an NFL offense against high-level competition.
Didn't he lose every game against high level competition? Not sure if he did. Not sure why people are defending the guy to this extent. If you like him fine. If you don't cool. Not sure he is the next franchise q.b. Nothing has shown me that he has that potential.

Matt doesn't have his escapeability. And I only meant JMs ability to escape and make plays.

We’ve seen him play 30 minutes of good football. UGA blew a coverage on that last TD. He could be good but no one knows how good yet.
I've actually seen more of him than 30 minutes. He is actually that good. He is like Russell Wilson and Johnny Manziel mixed together.
I do agree that any team that tanks to get the number one player isn't a team I want to watch. I'm not sure on his desire to finish college. He is very smart and faith oriented. He may graduate or he may leave early. I don't think money is what motivates him or his family. And yes it is me, Tua

Would the Bills be better off waiting until Tua Tagovailoa graduates or leaves early than to draft a qb this year? Imo he is already better than the qbs in this years draft. If not he definitely has the potential to be. Why not wait, fill some needs this year and next, then draft Tua? Plus it gives us the chance to see what AJ can do and he can mentor the kid when he comes in.
-
At this point the pressure may be too much not to trade up. If the bills don't and fail people will be abnormally pissed.
-
Ah I had read they paid 2900+ in draft points in a different article.
-
Jets paid too much for 3. You'll never get 4 with that.
Not seeing the difference in Mayfield or Darnold. Allen maybe is behind.
I'd like to see Ridley...and Guice or Michel. Ol are a dime a dozen in the draft. And take the qb that falls to you at 12 or Jackson at 22. I'd pay to see those guys play in a bills uniform.

Lets say its a perfect world and every guy that you wanted(logically lets not get all crazy here) fell to the Bills draft spots, who would you take?
Do you take Lamar Jackson?

How would NFL players on McCarrons teams explain the yardage difference? You can't take negatives away just to prove a point. If Jackson was able to throw for that kind of yardage then he had to have had some kind of talent at the receiver position. So he either did or didn't have talent there. If he did then all the negatives are on him. If he didn't how'd he get the yardage? Just because your offense is predicated on throwing down field doesn't necessarily mean your wide receivers are going to catch it. Just some thoughts.
Besides AJ throws a great deep ball. We'll find out soon that's for sure lol
