YoloinOhio Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) @greggrosenthal: This looks like the quiet end of the Jake Locker era in Tennessee http://t.co/dD2uSO94hi They had already declined his 5th yr option; writing was on the wall. 8th overall pick in that 2011 draft that was stacked in the 1st rd. Who was really high on this kid? Was it Buffalo Barbarian? i was impressed with him in college. He has character red flags and injury concern but has classic pocket presence and an nfl arm. IMO.

NoSaint Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Who was really high on this kid? Was it Buffalo Barbarian? i think there were a few people that were curious as a flyer to replace Tuel. Not just ZM but a few of those mid round prospects. if an opinion on a qb sounded like it came from someone that was really high, BB might be who you are thinking of though.

LB3 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Who was really high on this kid? Was it Buffalo Barbarian? I don't think you're referring to me but before the draft I was all for the Bills drafting Mettenberger in the 3rd round or later because of his arm talent. I thought EJ was going to improve but even if he didn't, that he would likely start the whole year and they'd let Mettenberger sit for a year and have a QB competition next offseason. I'm already half wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 He had an intriguing pre-season with 69% completion percentage and 9.7 ypa He did throw a pick in the very limited work he saw earlier in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Who was really high on this kid? Was it Buffalo Barbarian? Many of us (including me) wanted the Bills to draft ZM when he was still on the board after the fourth round. Apparently, the Dougs felt that the Bills were all set at QB and had more pressing needs. Some here had argued that ZM would be off the board by the end of round two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland Rocks? Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Locker looked really good against the Browns until he got hurt. I think he is injury prone but will find a home somewhere as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) i was impressed with him in college. He has character red flags and injury concern but has classic pocket presence and an nfl arm. IMO. He actually looked horrible in college. Even his good year was not that good. He was hyped out of High School and everyone just looked past his on the field performance, which was terrible (on a terrible W team) (I did love me some Mason Foster though, That would have been a solid pick over Whatshisname. However Whatshisname did net us Jerry Hughes so in the long run if we re-sign Jerry Hughes. The Whatshisname pick was good for his trade value) To my surprise Locker showed some glimpses in the NFL where I thought. "Wow he is not completely terrible;" but in the end his hype did not live up to his performance. He could be a backup in the NFL. If Colt McCoy is still kicking it around the NFL, I guess Locker will get a few looks here and there. I'm sure there will be some posters that want to be in Buffalo. Do not count me as one.

Rob's House Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Who was really high on this kid? Was it Buffalo Barbarian? I was high on Mettenberger since around this time last year. I was screaming at the TV to take him from the 4th round on. It didn't listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I definitely think he should have been a Bill. It'll be interesting to watch the beginning of his pro career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Maybe we can pick up Locker. He was once called the white EJ Manuel and he already has over twice as much "development" time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
