Sky Diver Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) We have a ton of picks and it's a QB rich draft, not to mention that we just signed a QB with a lot of potential at a bargain basement price. Why all of the angst? Things are finally looking up for Bills' fans. Edited March 20, 2018 by Sky Diver 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Coach McD earlier this month on BB.com: “The biggest thing for us is making sure we hit the reset button. We’re not maybe as far along as some people think we are,” said McDermott. “We’ve got a lot of work to do. At the same time we must remain true to who we are as an organization and our core values.” http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-Today-McDermott-sees-a-good-deal-of-roster-building-ahead/18ca47f8-e08f-4594-b843-da5df63ac432 I give McD credit here for being honest about the roster. Both he and Beane know it and aren't setting unrealistic expectations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would this overall evaluation of the roster indicate that the Bills won't be as willing to trade away the farm for the right to draft a prospect QB in top 5?

Mickey Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Not to be Debbie Downer but, though I think we are finally headed in the right direction, making the playoffs last year was more the result of the NFL's Byzantine tie break formula and a last second fluke in the Bengal game than masterful coaching and a championship level roster.

I wouldn't judge him exclusively on that game. He was hot trash in Jacksonville too. Crumbling under pressure was a big weakness of his in college. Hasn't changed yet. Also, another thread about being excited about McCarron, we get it, he's an amazing prospect since he played decent in four games. If he went to a different school but had the same if not better career, you probably wouldn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say after the Wildcard game that the GM and HC know their major issue is not having a QB who makes plays with his arm. It doesn't mean they don't have needs elsewhere, but their major need remains a passing game. Everything else pales in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the Jaksonville game. He wasn't under pressure when he threw the pick. He played very well under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it took Null 44 attempts to get his 5th int as compared to Nate's 16 attempts, so I'd have to give Nate the edge on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
