If it's the rookie great if not don't throw him in there and potentially destroy his career. Letting a QB sit doesnt do anything but keep them from experiencing what they need to so they can become better. The only thing that can destroy a QB's career is if they were never meant to be a NFL QB in the first place.

If a guy isn't mentally ready to play the game then you're just going to destroy him not develop him by putting him into start day 1. I believe you can teach the mental aspect of the game where as you cannot teach the physical aspwct of the game. So if the rookie has all the physical tools but is struggling with reading a defensive coverage or the terminology of the offense letting him sit and learn these thing would be way more beneficial than throwing him to the wolves. I feel like this does happen to guy which just slowly destroys them over time. Edited March 11, 2018 by Zebrastripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsos cap Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 There will be a competition. The key is don’t latch onto false positives. Start your bridge, die on that bridge if you have to. Come out next year commanding the afc if you got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneblitz Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 no, so sick of years after years of fake compititions start the 1st round pick, give him the vast majority of camp reps and most of the preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 If they trade up, I could see a guy like Darnold, Rosen or Mayfield starting year 1. I could also see them holding onto picks 21 and 22 and taking whoever falls to them, then grabbing a guy like White on day 2. That gives them, perhaps a better chance of finding a long term solution. The plot thickens! I'm genuinely surprised that we got pick 65 for Tyrod too. He's going to have a solid supporting cast in Cleveland also.

Hopefully the Bills don't make that mistake again and pick a QB by your description will be nothing more then a career backup. In the NFL you either get it or you won't.

Not at the table Karlos Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The only guy we have on the roster had one of the all time worst games as a qb ever. If there's not a competition something is extremely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference is you cant ruin a guy by letting him learn as much as he can in a back up role. You most certainly can ruin a guy by starting him prematurely.

Completley disagree with this. Some players need to sit and learn. A lot come from offenses that don't translate to the pros or have issues with their footwork or throwing motion. Throwing a guy in that isn't ready can ruin a player. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will only ruin them if they were never meant to be a starter in the first place. Throughout these guys lives they hire coaches to get them ready for the NFL. By this time in their life they are either ready to face NFL or they aren't. Edited March 11, 2018 by Boca BIlls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
