I've been tweeting about him for months so I was super excited to see him do well during Senior Bowl week. I think he's a 2nd Rounder. I agree I think this kid is a baller. Ive heard the pats do too. I wouldn't even be upset if we couldn't trade up if we waited and tried to get this kid in the 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where Rudolph would rank on the list above? I admit I was intrigued by a couple early season games I saw him in. How much was the system, lousy defenses and his WR’s? No idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 ...Casserly said last night on NFLN that Rosen is the best "pro ready QB" but still ranks him 2nd behind Darnold......said that Eli probably plays two more years and Rosen sitting for those two is a waste....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not the personality attack sorry The concussion part concerns me a lot, too. I’d overpay for the right guy. I’d be more nervous about his long term availability than his ability.

BillsFan4 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Man, I have been daydreaming about this all day now (ever since I first read this thread). I would be pumped to get any of the top 3 QBs in this draft (Rosen, Darnold and Mayfield). Rosen never really even seemed like a possibility though. I still think its its a long shot, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have my hopes up at least a little bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Bills ship two years worth of draft picks for a QB who is prone to concussions and is a self centered jerk. Bean and McDermott would be committing career suicide. It would be career suicide and it was set the team back at least five years. Rosen is a nice enough kid but if he's just not that into football. Let the Browns & Giants fight over him. 2 hours ago, ndirish1978 said: Complaining about the hotbed thing is ridiculous imo. Gronk had a hottub in college, he also bought the house he was living in and trashed it thrown insane parties. Is he spoiled and entitled? No, he's Gronk so he's just a meathead. Perception just works against this guy I'm sure Gronk would make a great cerebral qb. Almost Peyton worthy. Dribbler back to the mound.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, jahnyc said: I want the Bills to use the picks that they have in the draft. They need quality starters, and with four picks in the first two rounds, we have the potential to get some good, young players and fill needs. Having said that, I do understand trading up for a QB that they believe will be a long-term answer to our long-standing QB need, particularly since we will have our QB cost controlled for at least a few years and we will have a huge amount of cap space in 2019 to add quality free agents and fill holes. Holes can be patched in free agency. If the Bills get a franchise QB in this draft it would become no worse than their second best draft class ever.........the best being 1983 which yielded Jim Kelly and Daryl Talley. You can get 5 Pro Bowlers at various positions in a draft but QB so outweighs the value of the next tier of positions that it renders the conversation moot. The Bills did exactly what you are saying you want in 2012 and came away with Gilmore, Glenn and Bradham out of their first 4 picks.........dudes who became outstanding players........but in the process they passed on Russell Wilson. Nix clearly made a mistake thinking that drafting a QB early at that point in the organization's development was like putting the cart before the horse.

I'm going to take it one step further in defense of Peterman. Guy has heart. Doesn't help that his main position coach is basically a WR coach. He's smart, he's still got potential. I could easily see him as a Todd Collins that developed a tad later in his career. But one thing he wasn't is ready for the speed of the game. No coincidence that his best game came in a blizzard when everyone else was slowed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills desperately need help at OL, WR, DL, LB, and RB. The roster will have a have a huge turnover. There will be a QB available without selling the farm.....and Beane will take him at 21 or 22. If they feel a franchise QB is within reach.... I am fine with them doing what it takes. We still have two 2nd rounders this year, the rest of the draft and FA to fill holes. Getting a franchise QB on a 5 year rookie contract will help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fwiw........Aaron Rodgers was on his 3rd or 4th bad concussion in 2010........and on his way out of the league.........when Goodell decided you couldn't hit QB's......or WR's in the middle of the field.....and began bludgeoning the Steelers defense with fines to emphasize the point. 7 years later concussions are no longer much of an issue for him.

Augie Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The Charger game was the LAST game Peterman should have been inserted. I like McD, but that was a boneheaded and ill-timed decision. I don’t know what’s true and what’s fiction, but if Dennison insisted on that he’s lucky to have made it through the season. Even if he wanted Peternam, he would have been wise to wait for another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
