cale Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I hope they stick to their board as much as possible. I see them trading back into the second half of the 1st to take him. Or at least I hope they do. I'd much rather have a LB taken first unless Geno or Glennon falls to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 To which I say, so what. You didn't see Carroll take Mark Sanchez, and he waited for a true franchise guy to come around this season. Do you think he regrets that decision? Your system will only take you so far. A great QB will take you further. If they grade out Geno far better than Nassib -- and I do, by at least a round -- and still take the path of least resistance, shame on them. I understand your point but I think this is somewhat different. They had the kid for 3 yrs, correct me if I'm wrong but did Carroll have Sanchez for that long? There is gonna be a run on Qb's because so many teams are looking for one. Nassib might not be there in the Second round. My point is if they think Nassib is the one they can grow with and win with then you make the move in the first. Or any QB they like ( Glennon, Smith ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 nassibmania is taking over..............sounds like some want to ignore the other higher rated qb's and go right for the "hometown boy" :thumbdown: Nassib in the first feels like a mistake. in the 2nd or later, go for it. I hope they stick to their board as much as possible. I see them trading back into the second half of the 1st to take him. Or at least I hope they do. I'd much rather have a LB taken first unless Geno or Glennon falls to us. As an fyi I think Glennon is our pick. But if he's gone and Nassib is there thats what we're doing. Or Geno. But I will say I think Nassib seems to be a tough guy and I think that will parlay well. My original point was expect them to take Nassib simply because they coached him up and achieved results. That doesn't mean if someone better is available they don't take that guy! I want Glennon. Nassib beat Geno, Ryan Leaf is in Prison. So anything can happen. We hired new staff that know the answers we are seeking and I am going to say I'm good with whoever they go with. I will back them 100% until they prove they aren't worthy. Given that there are a lot of guys balls on the line right now in this process including Russ, I am really happy with how we are moving forward without Ralph. For better or worse we are decisive. Something that has never happened with Ralph at the helm and I am loving it. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS!!!!! Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So I'm reading on these boards that a lot of people don't like nassib because he's questionable and jittery in the pocket. Well I believe that he has really good pocket awareness and has the ability to move throughout the pocket pretty well. He has good footwork, he plants and steps into his throws, and he can maneuver in the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield. The only thing he does do is he shakes the ball a lot right before he throws which looks awkward at times but if I'm not mistaken Peyton manning also is jittery in the pocket as well. We all know how he turned out. But honestly nassib has a bullet of a pass, a really quick release and can make just about every throw needed to be a professional in this league. He's the pick in the second round or a trade up into the first round, if hes there then bank on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fanbase is so starved for High-level QB play, that we've forget sometimes what it actually looks like. -Good thing we have Brady in our division to remind us. Some of these posters havent watched Nassib for more than this past season. Some have only seen him in the pinstripe bowl! -But because he's local, available, and familiar to the incoming staff, WE WANT HIM IN A BILLS UNI! Well, what has this kid ever done to indicate that he's a pro prospect, Other than attend, and play football for a nearby college? I've paid attention to Nassib for four years. I've seen him do good things on the field as well as bad. -Believe me when I say that there are QB prospects in this draft ALOT better than him, that aren't going in the first. On his best day, Nassib is a 4th-6th rounder... We can get some serious Talent @ #8 Buddy. -Please don't screw this up.

The Buffalo Bills have had sub par play at the QB position for far to long and believe me when I say your evaluation of Ryan Nassib is way off base.

I'll agree with you about one thing though,,,we can get some serious talent at the 8th pick in Ryan Nassib,,, ...please don't screw this one up Buddy,,, Edited January 20, 2013 by dog14787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 He's got about twice the arm that Fitz has. That accounts for something.

Thirty Year Fan Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I highly doubt that a 33 year old first time NFL Offensive Coordinator is going to dictate the most crucial annual--- and perhaps franchise altering--- decision for a billion dollar corporation. It's definitely a possibility, but if the Bills select Nassib, it's going to be a decision made by consensus: Marrone, Nix, Whaley and perhaps Brandon all have more weight than Hackett. Right on ! very smart statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has a point. Don't get cute with this stuff. It is very rare that a pick is a sure thing, especially after the first one or two picks in the draft. The eighth pick is not likely to be somebody that all the fans, team management, and TV talking heads agree on. You may as well take a gamble and reach a little if there is a guy you want.

He didn't specifically say that. He said that if a team has targeted a quarterback it wants, then it should be prepared to draft him a round earlier than his grade to make sure another club doesn't get him first. This draft class is horrendous and I hope he wasn't talking about using the #8 pick on a QB. The only guy I like is EJ Manuel and I'd be happy to get him, but that's only in the second round or maybe as a trade up ahead of the second round QB lacking teams. This talk of drafting Nassib at #8 is insane. I've been watching a lot of the video on youtube of this guy and he is clearly a 3rd or later round talent IMO. He's a very good college QB who lacks the basic skills and talent to ever become anything more than a career backup on the professional level. To me, he's a Blaine Gabbert-like system "dink and dunk" college QB who lacks pocket presence when pressured, lacks accuracy in the long and intermediate passes and is a poor runner out of the pocket. He'll get his shot to start, but it will be a one and done type of starting career for Nassib. I'll be crushed if they draft Nassib at #8. I'm talking a Donte Whitner like disappointment.

Donte Whitner has proven to be a decent player, but he never lived up to the hype. I won't be too upset if they draft Nassib at #8, but it is a long stretch to think that is where he should be drafted, and I will immediately be wondering who they could have/should have picked instead. The "home grown" aspect is the only reason why they would take him that early. If it was somebody other than his former coach, there is no way that he would get picked that high. I really don't think they will, but I won't be too surprised if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think they will, but I won't be too surprised if they do. If you don't have the ability to hit WRs in stride on the deep pass at the NFL level you are toast as a QB. What I see on the video are Syracuse WRs waiting on the deep ball or the ball being no where close. Also, his deep passes are of the floating variety. NFL defenses will eat him for lunch. Expect a lot of defenders in the box to stop Spiller and press coverage on our WRs. I'd be shocked if Marrone hitches his first NFL head coaching wagon to Nassib with that #8 overall pick.

xsoldier54 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If we take Nassib because he's "comfortable" with the system and the coaches worked with him in college, that is a PISS poor reason for taking him. I want no part of any QBs coming out of this year's draft. My prediction is that there are at least three QB's who will be solid starters in the NFL in this year's draft. This team needs an upgrade at QB. It may be Nassib or someone else, but be prepared, because this team WILL draft a QB this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eighth pick is not likely to be somebody that all the fans, team management, and TV talking heads agree on. You may as well take a gamble and reach a little if there is a guy you want. I've said this before - the top picks before us aren't going to be loaded with QB's - and IF Smith, Barkley, and Wilson are gone before us at 8, that would mean some very good talent has dropped to us - which we'd be nuts to pass on. I've been touting this QB class as a good one for Buffalo, because I believe Buffalo will have it's choice of all but perhaps one QB when they pick at 8 - and, if they choose to wait until round 2, I believe there will still be 3 or 4 guys worth taking there anyway. I've gone back and watched more video of Nassib and some of the other QB's, and one thing about Nassib that scares me is this - a lot of his passes were thrown behind his recievers. Many of his passes were not the "in stride" type you'd like to see, but rather his WR'ers had to turn back, or slow down, to make the catch. A lot of times. That scares me some, because chances are the NFL recievers and speed will be much faster, and if he's got a miniscule problem with processing or gauging where to hit guys, it might show up much more in the pro's. That is why I'd really like the Bills to go for someone like Smith, Barkley, Wilson, or Dysert before they go for Nassib. But, that's just my opinion.

To bad they a year or two late in getting a QB but having said that.... It's early in the process, we all are to early in our projections. Who know's how FA is going to effect the draft. You don't like Nassib and that's ok. But I have a hunch he's gonna be a Bill. I like the kid. Maybe we get lucky and he lasts until the second round. That way we can get the best LB in the draft on the board not named Teo . All we can hope for is they choose the right QB. Whoever that may be. Because we wont even sniff the playoffs until we do.
