San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just so it's on everyone's radar, it's called BuffaloBillsDraft.com http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2011/07/udfa-preview-quarterbacks/ The guy's name is Matthew Elder… don't know him but I wouldn't be surprised if he's a member here. We all know the Bills will sign a veteran signal caller and most likely an undrafted free agent "camp arm." Matthew likes Ben Chappell, Pat Devlin, and Division II standout, Josh Portis.

1B4IDie Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Pat Devlin looks great on Paper but looks super raw on film. Dan Lefevour and our own Levi Brown look better on film than Devlin. Josh Portis would be interesting as a camp arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 He doesnt have Luck on the 2012 top 100 draft prospects? If so, one possible explanation is that technically, Luck is entering his junior season so as a senior he would actually be in the class of 2013. Not saying that they didn't goof up but there is that explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBD Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just so it's on everyone's radar, it's called BuffaloBillsDraft.com http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2011/07/udfa-preview-quarterbacks/ The guy's name is Matthew Elder… don't know him but I wouldn't be surprised if he's a member here. We all know the Bills will sign a veteran signal caller and most likely an undrafted free agent "camp arm." Matthew likes Ben Chappell, Pat Devlin, and Division II standout, Josh Portis. Not a member, or at least an active one but I do appreciate the shout-out, and I hope you enjoy the site and keep coming back. Pat Devlin looks great on Paper but looks super raw on film. Dan Lefevour and our own Levi Brown look better on film than Devlin. Josh Portis would be interesting as a camp arm. Why do you compare Devlin to LeFevour and Brown just seems a little odd of a comparison to make? Also Devlin's film from the regular season is much better than his film during the FCS Title game. He doesnt have Luck on the 2012 top 100 draft prospects? There are no juniors on that 2012 top 100 list. All seniors, same goes for the prospect rankings. Until they declare for the draft all juniors are the class of 2013, which Ill be adding to the site before September. Thanks for checking it out! If so, one possible explanation is that technically, Luck is entering his junior season so as a senior he would actually be in the class of 2013. Not saying that they didn't goof up but there is that explanation. Kudos my friend, you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Well I hope you come around more often BBD/ME. While there's no shortage of very intelligent people (and knowledgeable football fans) here, we can always use another one. It's a great place to sharpen your view and strengthen your chops because you'll realize soon that several of the posters here COULD be professional reporters (all due respect to JW, TG, LC and other pro reporters who have and still do, grace this board). I have a conviction that there are people in the industry who could do some "professional development" here if they chose to… because when you see that the Bills beat writer failed to mention re-signing Drayton Florence in a story about ways to spend to the salary floor, that tells you all you need to know. Sorry to tangent. Welcome aboard and come back soon and often. Edited July 22, 2011 by San Jose Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Devlin's film from the regular season is much better than his film during the FCS Title game. I think Levi Brown and Dan Lefevour were some of the best 7th round\UDFAs QBs in the 2010 draft. I think Pat Devlin is one of the better UDFA QBs in the 2011 draft. So I think there is a natural comparison there. Pat Devlin has been touted by many leading up to the draft as a possible late round "flyer" type of QB. I watched the few clips I have available, regular season and bowl game, and I was just was amazed at how he stares down his receivers. His release looks inconsistent, his arm strength is questioned. He probably needed to stay at Penn State and work hard on rebuilding his delivery. Instead he went and played with inferior talent. He looked like a big fish in a small pond. He'll be a baby guppie in the NFL and get eaten real quick. IMO he is just a distraction. Josh Portis clearly has some maturity issues going from Florida to MD to DIII nonsense, but he has DI\NFL offensive skills. It would be interesting to see Gailey play with this offensive talent in a "Slash" role in preseason. He could do some really cool stuff in the 3rd and 4th QTR of preseason games. It would be fun to watch. The problem is you couldn't keep in our crowded WR group. He couldn't really be on as RB. So unless somehow he has some kind of crazy cannon arm he wouldn't make the roster, but would still be fun and good on the Practice Squad to scout athletic QBs or WRs.

I do not get the Devlin love that keeps showing up in various places on this board. WSS has it right, he couldn't hack it at Penn State, played behind average QBs ahead of him, transfered, was the right man to be a care-taker of the Blue Hens offense ("go in there, don't get in the way, and don't screw it uo"). I think there is an ill concieved fantasy that he is somehow going to be Joe Flacco -- but think, where was Flacco drafted? Why? Because he had real talent. Also, welcome BBD, look forward to reading your material, even if I do disagree with your Devlin idea Edited July 22, 2011 by CSBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he played well in the last preseason game against Detroit and am in a handful of delusional Bills fans that think he has some promise.
