Blokestradamus Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Blokes, why would TB want John Ross with Desean Jackson on team? Over the past couple of years, they've put a lot of effort into the defense and the OL. It's about time they added more weapons for Jameis. Jackson should be their primary slot and, with Mike Evans on a 5th year option or extension in 2018, they need to think about acquiring some talent on the cheap. Ross would replace Adam Humphries as their #2 on the boundary. Jackson is a mentor for Ross so the team will probably have as good a feel for him as any other player in the class. Not a pick I would make but it's something that seems to have some legs among Bucs writers that I follow. nice to trade back but, meh on the picks I realise my mistake; not enough try-hard white dudes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Does this make him a 'system quarterback' ? I worry about what happens if the Bills change coaches as it limits either his future or the freedom to choose future coaches. Also, does he look like a kid who has demonstrated a good work ethic ? Every QB is a system QB to a lesser or greater degree. I don't think he's a limited player in terms of talent but, if I'm right about him, he'll definitely benefit from running a particular scheme. As far as things go for future OC's or HC's, Rick Dennison and David Culley have been around the WCO since I was a toddler. I think if they move on for whatever reason, they'll have plenty of recommendations for a replacement that helps keep the status quo. I can't say much about his work ethic but I think he's a determined guy. The most impressive thing he's done this offseason is constantly biting his tongue when asked about Brian Kelly. I think that shows that he's smart enough to keep things in-house, kinda dispells some of that "not a natural leader" BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 7. As for when they start coming off the board, it appears the belief out there continues to be that Buffalo at 10 is the team that you have to leapfrog if you want to trade up for a quarterback. http://mmqb.si.com/m...impact-notebook I doubt that Buffalo would act away from its bland character and select a qb with its first selection. However, if it did I would be ecstatic while the "wait until next year gang" would be sulking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the NFL has adopted rules to make it easier for QB's and WR's the Bills stubbornly believe they can win with bottom of the barrel passing offenses.

I just don't think we know how to decide who is a franchise guy and who isn't. We are more focused on trying to fill holes to maintain the status quo, instead of building a team to compete longer term. We just lack a vision as to how to build a team...I'm not holding my breathe for a QB before RD3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Pegulas are allowing Sean McDermott, a first year head coach, this much influence on the draft shows the Pegulas do not understand football and have no clue how to run a team.

mannc Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 the Bills stubbornly believe they can win with bottom of the barrel passing offenses. Now you're just spreading disinformation. In his first 29 NFL starts, Tryod's numbers have been more or less on par with the numbers put up by Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota in their first two years. At this point, the statistics show that Tyrod ranks near the middle of the pack of NFL starters, with potential to improve. And then there's the fact that, with their "bottom of the barrel" passing offense, the Bills ranked in the top quarter of the league in TDs in 2016.

A meaningless statistic given the fact that they were the top ranked rushing team and threw the ball less than any other team in the NFL. When they threw the ball, the Bills did so pretty effectively. With a new OC, they will probably throw the ball more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said bottom of the barrel passing attack. They have a terrible passing game that doesn't move the ball and doesn't score TD's. Fact jack.

But our rushing game attack is soo good if we get a good defense we'll be able to lose to the Steelers or Pats in the playoffs 17-12.

It's important to run the ball and run the ball well. But most of these NFL games come down to the wire. if your QB can't throw when the other team KNOWS you have to throw you will lose almost every close game.
