It's in My Blood Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wheres the love for this guy on TBD? He's an accurate passer with a rocket arm and good size. He needs work to work on his awareness in the pocket and his defensive reads but sitting behind Fitz for a year or two would benefit him greatly in that regard. I want the Bills to take him 1st.

DrDawkinstein Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I watched him against Texas this year and was blown away. The kid was making all the throws into small windows. It was ridiculous. But then I watched him in a few more games and it made the Texas game look like a lucky day. It depends on what LBs, WRs, OL, and DL are on the board when we pick. Im not totally sold on Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yea he looked pretty bad late in the yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jone's Toupee Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I've watched every one of his starts at OU. He's Trent Edwards II. Great passer with no rush but as soon as the bad guys start pressing he's lost. Great college QB behind a great O line but he will fail as a pro.

The Big Cat Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Those don't sound like the kind of attributes you look for in pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? No offense, but I think that's a horrible idea, unless he has a claussen esq fall and the Bills can grab him in the second. Jones is another in the long line of baaadddd big twelve qbs. He's Gabbert part two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem as you point out, he is not consistent. If the Bills take a QB in round 1, it has to be someone that is projected to be competing for the job day 1. I think Jones will be a good QB, but we don't have time. We only have a backup QB on this roster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to draft a qb in the 1st, but only if it's Luck, Barkley or RG3. If they're all gone BPA WR or LT. I like upshaw, Hightower, mercilus and curry but I'd rather go with bpa.....I don't think any of those will be that when we pick. If we picked 15-30 I'd be all for it. Not top 10 though.

Thoughts? People love this guy...due to his stats and the system he plays in. Personally I think he is the weakest of the top QB prospects this year. My favorites are Luck and RG3, I am not as sold on Jones and Barkley. I watched almost all of his games the last 2 years, he is productive no doubt. But only when the system is working perfectly, mostly against crappy teams. Any bit of pressure, or good coverage and he seems to get confused. Pocket awareness is not great, and I see him doing a lot of things that won't likely work in the NFL. I don't see him making decisions or being able to read complex NFL defenses. He has an accurate arm, but I am not sold on the rest. I don't hate him by any stretch, he could be good. I'd be happy taking a chance on him in the 2nd.

Turbosrrgood Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) I want Kellen Moore - all 6 ft and 190 pounds of him. Drew Brees size... Personally I like RG3. When a guy takes a small, mostly unsuccessful football school and all of the sudden turns them into a strong football team, you know he is good. He has all the tools, and has looked impressive even against top schools. You know this isn't due to the system, or strong recruiting, it is HIM. Somewhat the same situation for Luck. Stanford is not exactly a powerhouse school, but Luck has turned them into one. It's tougher to judge guys like Landry Jones, and Barkley that have historically good coaching and recruiting.

I've never been high on Barkley. I think he is weak in spirit, a la Trent/Gabbert/etc. The only QB Im totally sold on in this draft is Luck. I want to be sold on RG3, and I like the kid, but I simply havent seen enough of his games to be able to form a real opinion that Im willing to stand behind. Which leaves me in the unfortunate place of having only his upcoming Bowl game, and youtube highlight videos, to go off of. But IMO, if Luck and RG3 are gone by the time we pick (and I think they will be), then we must go BPA at those positions of need. Drew Brees size... Personally I like RG3.

Stanford is not exactly a powerhouse school, but Luck has turned them into one. It's tougher to judge guys like Landry Jones, and Barkley that have historically good coaching and recruiting. I agree with your sentiments on judging a prospect, which is why Im interested in RG3. And dear god no, not Kellen Moore. He's Mini-Fitz. Smart kid that can make reads, but cant throw the ball. If we draft Moore, we are drafting someone to play backup to Fitz, not upgrade and replace him. I guess I might look at Moore in the 5th+ rounds.

Max997 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Im not big on Jones or Barkley...both seem like nothing more then Leinert to me BG3 is who I want...love the touch on the deep ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 He's not on my list for the Bills as a 1st rounder. If the Bills can get one of the top 3 (Luck, RGIII, or the USC guy)I'm for taking a QB in round 1. None of the others seem to be worth a pick that high.

T master Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If we do take a QB i would hope that we would look at RG3 he seems to have that it thing !! Plus his legs help an awful lot , but i think because the Bills have got Fitz locked up our first pick will go toward a pass rushing LB or DE . There are some really good pass rushers this year & we all saw what happened to GBP when KC had pressure from their front 4 on Rogers , & this year although many say Merriman did nothing for the team and should be let go (what a bunch of dopes ! ) after he went down if any of you were at all paying attention that's when our D started going away !! So bring Merriman back & draft a rookie that he can take under his wing the following year if you want to let Merriman go fine but get out of him all we can while he's here !!! I'd say a pass rusher in the first , a QB in the second , & a WR in the third !! GO BILLS !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I love how some have already determined that Landry is no good. Probably the same people who said that they would pass on all the QB's that came out last year? How did that prediction work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how Jones is going to turn out as a pro. I just think wondering "where's the love" for this guy is a stupid question when he's thrown 5 picks and 0 TDs in his last three games. He don't deserve no "love" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
