QB is by far the hardest position to evaluate in a draft class. Organizational and scheme fit are almost as important as talent also. Josh was taken by the right organization who not only put the pieces around him, but they also have been patient through the growth/maturation process. Lamar Jackson was taken by the perfect organization as far as the coaching staff he inherited and scheme fit for his skill set. You also have to really dig behind the scenes to get into the minds of these young men. You have to research their backgrounds. You have to go beyond the record, the physical abilities, the flaws, and figure out the true character of the individual. Is he a guy, like Josh, who is focused on becoming the best NFL QB he can be? What's their work ethic like off of the field when there's no one setting up a game plan or no meetings to attend? What is their mental capacity and how do they process the information seen or given to them? All of this factors in. It reminds me of the story about JA and Darnold working with Jordan Palmer in the offseason. Darnold gets something right a couple of times and he's done. JA works on correcting things over and over and over for hours on end until he feels it has become 2nd nature. These are the things that breed greatness, all the behind the scenes activities that a player does when there is no one pushing them but themselves. You have to find out which prospects not only have the talent, but the mentality to be great. It's easier said than done.

Glad Poyer called that trick out. Couldn't stand him, Foxworth, before this idiocy. And to Foxworth? off ho, the bandwagon is full.

Jags vs Ravens, Chiefs vs Saints and WFT vs Seahawks (I know what game I get even without the map ) isn't bad for the late slate though.

Insert Nick Wright video or latest PFF newly fabricated category

I think the wager, if Wrong Nick loses, should be Bills Mafia gets to choke slam him though a table.

It's a sad existence when your takes are stolen from PFF, Nick Wright's that is.

Another thing following up on my first point. They played a clip on NFL Live of Levi Wallace saying the guys take notice of Buffalo not getting respect in some instances. I had mentioned this before, but got flamed over it with some people saying "these guys don't pay attention to stuff like that." Well, they do pay attention and it does fuel the fire. Just like JuJu's punk coming out there and dancing on the Bills symbol. Disrespect in all forms has these guys heated. You heard that little Josh voice clip, "Let them do all the talking and the dancing, we do all the work." These guys are out to prove a point. All of them are playing with a chip on their shoulder. It's for real "Buffalo vs Everybody".

I don't know about everyone else, but to me it feels like this team is on a mission. I think that Arizona game really ticked them off with how they lost. I don't see them taking anyone lightly or coasting into a game just expecting to win. I see them coming out every week with the intention of imposing their will on our opponents on both offense and defense.

Honestly, I probably wouldn't play him until the Miami game just to ease him back in before the Playoffs.

A long as the trade off is one of these below, I'm good with that.

It's cool. We could just call a peaceful protest. I'd roll up there from VA for that.

Injuries, trades, letting guys walk, and trusting in Blake Bortles. Add on top of that Tom Coughlin's played out shtick and Marrone's overall incompetence then you get:

Stuff like this just makes you go

Murray is a better passer than Jackson and almost as dynamic a runner. We lost on a Hail Mary thrown to DeAndre Hopkins. It was a fluke and this team pulled together even more because of it. As long as the team's overall health continues to trend in the right direction, and if we can get Smoke back at full tilt come the Playoffs, then we are the team that no one wants to see.

Whoever the opponent may be it's the Playoffs. It's win or go home. I expect after last year that this team will be in a different place mentally once that time rolls around. The improvement on the offensive side of the ball is huge. The defense getting healthy at the right time even more so. If we can run the ball just enough to keep teams off balance then I like our chances against ANYONE in this league.

"Coach, Favre says Touchdowns first"

Gordon is just another piece. They still have Lindsay and Freeman as well. I expect us to focus on stopping the run and bring pressure against Lock on every legitimate passing down. They have a solid defense. I hope Dawkins has his big-boy pants on this Saturday because Bradley Chubb can wreck a game just like Joey Bosa.

Throw it to the open man, that's all he can do. It's up to them what they do after that.

The nerds @ PFF trying to come up with a new category so they can throw shade at Allen after reading this.

This is actually a tough question. Darren Waller would have to be the guy I would take though. Can you imagine Diggs, Brown, Beasley, and Waller on the field at the same time? We'd put up 40+ every week.

Last night was the prime example of Josh's development. Up until this game, even through this year, if Josh comes out flat he had stayed flat for the entire game. See the Tennessee and KC games for example. Josh came out flat in both of those, we had some miscues, and he could just never seem to get rolling. Last night, against a top tier NFL defense, he came out flat then proceeded to get rolling in the 2nd half. At one point he completed 11 straight passes in the 2nd stanza. It's beautiful to watch after all of these years, a legitimate franchise QB in action wearing a Bills uni.

All his takes are in the white bag
