Funny...I'll lose my mind if we pick Lynch.
I don't like him at all.
Why not? Strongest arm, 6'7". Bright. What's not to like. I'll admit I have only seen him at the Combine, so maybe there are reasons for not liking him. But he is going to be picked in the first round by somebody, so I say, way not the Bills?
-
I know we need LBs, but there doesn't seem to be one worth picking at 19. Paxton Lynch would be more sensible, unless you figure Tyrod is better than I do. Which LB would be better than a potential franchise QB in Lynch?
-
Paxton Lynch should be the call at 19. Probably the most talented QB in the draft and Walter Football has him going to the Jets at 20, while we pick another WR. I'd lose what's left of my mind if that happened.
-
If we make it, it will be despite Rex Ryan. We'll have to have no key injuries, a fabulous draft, and a few free agents that really produce. Also, we'll need a solid back-up quarterback and a single reliable kicker. Should I dream on?
Yep. You need a good head coach and QB to succeed in the NFL.

Who has the most velocity at QB? On the radar gun: Paxton Lynch - 59 mph Jared Goff - 58 mph Carson Wentz - 57 mph (h/t @Ourlads_Shonka)
Kevin Clark Retweeted Matt Miller
A GM told me he's finding that QB velocity is a lot more important than he thought and that research surprised him.
Lowest velocity of 2016 Combine quarterbacks? Connor Cook, at 50 mph
Yeah, Lynch is going to be special in the NFL. Hope he's there at 19. If not, what's the name of that Michigan QB who played so well in the Senior Bowl. He'd be a good later round pick.

Ted was my favorite part of the Bills fragile "dynasty". He could still out-coach the living.
-
Pegs is turning this team into a joke! Oh wait, it always been one, but Pegula is WAY over his head.
-
Ragland showed little or nothing in the big game last night...at least from what I could see. Disappointing.
-
Just what the Buffalo Bills would do. It never ends.
-
There is no story here. Pegs hasn't the gumption to tell his two big boys this and even if he did, it is no big deal. The Bills will miss the playoffs and they'd be fired with or without this "warning", or at least Rex will. The question is, will he fire Rex when he's 3-5 by mid-season? I doubt it.
-
Typical Bills season: lose the ones that count, win the ones that don't.
-
The Michigan kid, Jake Rudock. Great release and accuracy. Over 3000 yards this year. Very bright. 3rd-4th round maybe??
-
Anyone watch Jake Rudock slice apart Florida yesterday. He is a guy I would draft...over 3000 yards passing this year at Michigan. He is extremely accurate and has a great throwing motion.

Based on what I have learned by reading many threads on TBD, I think the following will happen:
Rex wants a big nose tackle, and a mike LB who is big and can take on a RB at the line of scrimmage. Whaley will get him these players through FA or draft.
If this is correct, it doesn't seem like a bad idea. My biggest concern with this scheme is that it relies on a small number of players with unique physiques and capabilities, which means injuries/depth will be a major concern.
If Rex craps the bed next year (I think he will), then the 2017 season will be a rebuilding year with a new staff, and 2018 will be THE year (again).
My concern with Rex is not his football IQ, but the fact that he seems to run a loose, disorganized team. I get the feeling that practices are not organized or effective, just based on players who don't seem to know what to do on the field. Lack of discipline and accountability leads to players who aren't concerned (scared) about making penalties or fumbling.
Poor time management, late getting plays in quickly, poor attention to detail (functioning headsets, TV monitors to assess red flag challenges, etc.), are some of the reasons why Rex will fail if he doesn't fix things. He shouldn't be spending his time as the de facto defensive coordinator. He should be spending his time doing head coach things, which may not be as hands-on as he likes, but that's the nature of the job.
Here's someone who watches the games and gets it.

Read the article, bitchers. He's saying they need a football guy in charge...and they DO!
-
Poor Whaley.
-
Crap, I thought the thread said "WGR"! Their roster clearly needs replacing. They ALL want Rex back. Of course, Rex has a show on the station..
-
I'm sure Belichick would give up if his team had some injuries. What a joke of a thread this is!
-
All the GR guys want Rex back. Funny that he has a show on the station, isn't it?
-
Rex will be back because it's Buffalo.
-
Brown is representative of the Ryan defense, so yes, he's awful...this year. Last year he was pretty decent.
-
Who is the bigger Dumbass, Rex Ryan or the dope that gave him a five-year contract?
-
It ain't Mario, it's the system. Dumbass is with the jets, they suck; Dumbass comes to Buffalo, we suck on D. Why would you change from a 4-3 with our D-line? Because Rex.
-
Why stick with a loser like Rex Ryan? Tell me, Pegula, why? Why not admit you made a mistake and cut bait? Oh yeah, dollar bills.

I take your point about wanting a player who contributes this year, considering how long it has been since the team amounted to anything. But I still think we need a franchise QB and the sooner we get one the better. Maybe it's not Lynch, but he seems the best bet at 19.
