Dr. Who

Okay, Incognito is a talented idiot, but even he should be bright enough to be on his best behavior (whatever that is.) I've read that Roman's blocking schemes are better fits for Cyrus K and Richardson. Don't know, really, but if the o-line "magically" improves, well, good luck Jacksonville.

Ah, but I don't click. I just read what gets posted on TBD.

I really can hardly remember a tweet from rodak that didn't have some kind of sneer or sting in it.

Correct on all this, I think, though I may be slightly more optimistic about EJ's chances. Those who are in a hurry to bury EJ annoy me. I'd really like to see EJ do well because it would be good for the team, the city, it would reward a young man of high character and cause chagrin to the many trolls who presumptively wrote him off. Then again, maybe he'll just bust

What? Are you implying that a trade for Cassel and a 6th for a 5th and 2016 7th means that OBD thinks EJ has no shot to lead the team to success? That is an assumption on your part and not a very good one, imo. Cassel is a veteran qb. We needed one. They may bring in another. EJ will still have a chance to compete and I think he may very well be a pleasant surprise (except for the haters who will be dismayed if he plays well.)

It's very strange. I've been watching football for over forty years. I don't remember a young player with good character who has been so polarizing. Whichever side one comes down on, the other appears irrational.

Really? He's awful, apart from a short, charmed time in Chicago. OBD should offer him a chance to compete and nothing more. Personally, I would not sign him.

I just don't see those players as qualifying for "big thing." Going by your criteria, I would include Grayson as a possibility.

I think it would be a nearly incomprehensible move. Something we don't know would have to come out to explain it. There doesn't seem any rational reason not to give EJ a chance to compete with the new regime. I personally don't see any available free agent who is clearly likely to be better. Even if there were, wouldn't he make a reasonably priced back-up? Of course, this would please the massive number of smug individuals who enjoy throwing contempt upon EJ and those who haven't already written him off.

Good Lord, Petty or Hundley qualifies as big things?

Probably more a sense that McCown was awful more recently.

I'd take Bryce Petty if he's there in the fifth. I think EJ is going to play well and really surprise, btw. Matt Moore seems better than McCown to me as well . . .

I am not crazy about this, but I think it speaks to the overall quality of free agent qbs out there. I expect EJ to beat him out -- pretty easily, actually. We need some vet as a backup. Roman and Kromer know him. They must think he's better than simply awful. I'm not capable of much more than a back-handed compliment. I think I would have preferred Hoyer. Guess we'll see.

Yes, most are. I'm not saying a qb that needs development shouldn't be taken, I was wondering if OBD will take one (other than a late round flier which would not be controversial) given the impatience that EJ has been shown.

Okay, I was going off of material I read on another board. Maybe someone is planting info hoping he will drop? Not sure OBD will take a project qb after EJ. If we take him, I will instantly become a fan. I'm not a hater.

He has concussion issues, so that is a bit of a red flag. I wouldn't spend a second or a third on him. Trade up and take him in the fourth? Maybe worth a shot.

McShay was raving about how good Marpet looked at the combine yesterday. I think he's going to go third round. Hope we take him.

My impression from what moshermw posted is that Taylor is an athletic qb. I was thinking what kind of qb would fit in Roman's system. Kellen Moore is not athletic and has a weak arm.

Thanks, moshermw. I'm intrigued now. I hope OBD brings him in.

Interesting, moshermw. That is certainly a name I haven't heard. Is Taylor a free agent?

As Hondo just pointed out, guard is a position one can actually address in free agency. Improved o-line is a must for this team. It is tiresome to hear the constant lament about qb. The available options just aren't that good. OBD should spend the money where real improvement is possible.

Not sure if you are joking or not. Pretty sure that would be illegal. Both leagues would not like it. You think the Sabres should just trade away potentially the next Gretzky in Connor McDavid (they are aiming for the first pick. If they finish last, it's the second pick at worst). Either way, the NHL team should give up a chance at a generational player so the Bills can sign a CFL qb. No doubt something less ridiculous could be worked out.

Red helmet was definitely a Fergie thing. Current helmet is better. Personally, I prefer the classic standing buffalo.

Alas, humanity.

I think EJ has potential. Personally, I don't like Cutler, assuming he would be traded. What available veteran would constitute a good qb? I think it's an underwhelming lot. I am generally brief. I wrote a dissertation for my own satisfaction and to make a rational case for EJ just because I like the kid and I'm old enough to remember when it was common for a young qb to "mature" for a few years before becoming a starter.
