Boatdrinks Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Green Lightning said: It's not pay back, the Jets just threw down decided to make their strongest play and gave up a bevy of picks. Of course Indy took that deal. We weren't willing to do that apparently or just maybe, Beane has a deal with the Giants. Or the Bills didn't have a high pick to offer , but the Jets did.

I’ll agree with all of that, if the amassing of draft picks result in a top QB. We aquired some nice pieces in FA, and moved up 9 spots for a LT that we didn't need!

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) 8 minutes ago, JerseyBills said: Nick Foles says Hi. Blake Bortles says Hi. Case Keenum says Hi. All had their teams a win away from the SB. Foles won it. All were viewed as below average-average at best last year. They had great teams though , so they didn't need to play great. How has that worked for Stafford,Rivers for example. Even if we hit on a QB , you still need a great team behind him. We have a chance to build a great team with 5 picks in first 65 selections. If we take a QB at 12 or 22, that's fine with me. Just cannot see Beane mortgaging the future for the available qbs Bortles held his team back, and Keenum did have a great season (yet the Vikings parted with him). Foles (won’t be starter next season) made the playoffs based off the work of Wentz. He happened to get hot at the right time. Foles already had an incredible season with Chip Kelly. He has shown to be a streaky player who can light it up at times. Foles is a talented QB who can look elite, or just plain awful. McCarron doesn’t have the skill set of Foles. McCarron projects as a game managing backup QB. I don’t discount the point that you made. I just don’t think that the NFL has changed to the point where you can use these examples as the template to success. You still need a real QB.

There is no hole created, the hole was plugged when Buffalo traded up to get Dawkins. Now we're paying our starting LT a rookie contract for the next 3 years.. He would have likely been cut anyway! Poppycock. Glenn wouldn’t have been cut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 46 minutes ago, JerseyBills said: Everybody and their mother knew Wentz n Goff were going 1 and 2. They were highly regarded as potential franchise qbs and those two were on a level and every other QB was below. There's 4 QB that you can make an argument for one being better than the other, there isn't a clear cut guy. Why waste so much precious draft capital on one?? I could see if McD has been here for years and they had a roster full of their guys, but it's year 2 and still laying the foundation, those picks are extremely valuable to a 2nd year GM and HC, If we miss yet again on a quarterback in this draft were in worse shape than we were last year with the quarterbacks that we now have. Its more years of mediocrity. Just get a GD quarterback. 30 minutes ago, billsredneck1 said: worse???? our passing game is going to at least double in production. Based on what?

If this is the case, the Jets are really dim. Does Bean strike anyone here as the personality type to "panic"? And panic over what? The Jets decision making? Please, the Jets have made some really goofy decisions over the years, and all of the sudden now they are shrewd? And can anticipate Bean's temperment? That is comical. I cannot imagine a scenario where Beane accumulates draft picks to casually forfeit them to draft a notoriously suspect QB; and by that I mean any 5 of the "hot" prospects. The Bills have too many holes are positions with no depth. Why risk that for one player....and an iffy one at that? This stated, the Jets panicked and over paid. No question.

How many appearances???? I thought the objective was to WIN, not be able to throw for 4000 yards and Lose. The game is changing. QB play is declining. Average QB can win a SB.

Tatonka68 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 1. Cleveland - Darnold QB 2. NY Giants - Barkley RB 3. NY Jets - Rosen QB 4.

That said, I agree that they are miscalculating if their sole purpose was to force the Bills to use up their draft picks to move up to 2. However, if they are not looking for a QB, I'm sure there is someone else they are targeting that they did not believe would last to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what was offered if anything. All we can do is wait this out. Hindsight is 20-20 but right now we don't know if they even had a serious negotiation. Factors most of us on this board saw the goings-on, trading are starting quarterback, all the Machinations to move up and saw it as a chance to get a franchise quarterback. Right now all that is in question and it could be frustrating if we end up with the quarterbacks we now have on opening day. 7 minutes ago, billsredneck1 said: based on our starting qb didn't make one ounce of improvement in 3yrs and we had one of the lamest passing attacks in the league. we could bring fitz back and he would look like an all pro compared to what we are used to seeing.

Maybe there's nothing we could have done, we don't know. But pardon me for not being excited for a year of AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterson.
