Prediction Rudolph will go before Rosen if the Bills are selecting a QB at 12

[Dr. Who]

Don't see it happening, but the best thing for us would be for Mayfield or Rosen to drop to twelve.  I can barely see it possible for Mayfield.

He is fragile and has lots of Injury issues. 

His team mates really don’t like him or hang with him hence how can he lead a NFL team. There are many reports about that. He rubs people the wrong way with his demeanor and the way he comes across.  He is not a team player, never once did I mention politics. He does not need the NFL to earn a living he set financially.  He is not a good leader by example. 

 

some good intel about him 

 

 

Durability is a concern. Carries slight build and has had injury issues dating back to high school. Carries ball low in pocket with slight upward pre-throw hitch. Too casual in pocket set-up. Decision making and post-snap reads are inconsistent. Refuses easy throws at times. Arm talent and strength are below average. May need to make greater effort to drive field and seam throws. Poor career deep ball completion rate. Excess air under ball allows challenges. Lacks gun to challenge safeties with rip throws over the top. Needs better anticipation. Poor mobility. Struggles to elude early pressure. Completed just 42.4 percent of his throws when forced to move. Too much hero ball. Extends plays and takes unnecessary chances rather than throwing it away. Scouts question his passion for football and whether he will be a willing student.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I heard multiple people that either knew him personally or met him say that Peyton Manning is one of the biggest a-holes they've ever known.  

 

I'd take him and his a-holistic, douchebag personality 1000 times out of a 1000.

Rudolph is a system qb with hugely inflated numbers from a system that rarely anyone becomes successful in the NFL with. He has an ok arm decent accuracy nice touch on his deep balls, yet he is way less accomplished than Rosen who had a crappy team around him and shows incredible accuracy and vision as well as pocket presence and is an intellectual. I personally wouldn't draft Rudolph in the first round he is second or third rd talent probably a career backup.

You may be correct that he is a system QB, but, that does not preclude him being an NFL starter and a good one.  Maybe not first year, but, given a little time, can't say that isn't possible.

[buffaloaggie]

Mason Rudolph was rated as the weakest arm of the top six QBs by CBS. Yet, if you read about one of his receivers, James Washington had the most receptions of 20 yards downfield of any player in the NCAA. So, I guess we can throw out CBS as a credible player rating source. I'm in on Rudolph, and the Bills can stand pat to draft him, keeping their other picks. Drafting James Washington wouldn't be a bad idea either.

People also said Watson had a weak arm cause he couldn't ramp up the RPMs at the combine. We all saw how well that translated to the NFL.

 

I'll take anticipation and accuracy all day over a rocket arm.

Please list his red flags. It seems political.

When there smoke there is fire. This Dude Rosen will drop, he is the problem child of this 1st round. Might drop all the way down to the Pats.

If The Bills are staying at 12 and there choice is between Rudolph or Rosen, I predict the Bills will select Rudolph. I’m praying the Jets take Rosen. Rosen does not fit the Bills or this towns culture, nor does he seem to fit the Process that Coach McD has instituted on this team. I also think that Rosen will be the biggest bust at QB in this draft. I have him rated outside the top 8 and in my opinion he will be that QB that drops in this draft. The TV networks will keep showing him in the green room with all the game day pundits on TV savaging him and us TV viewers with stories of why he’s dropping. To me he has the most red flags and problems. Also I will have to question weather I want to support him as a Bills QB if he were to get drafted by the Bills. My opinion is the Bills are targeting Josh Allen and Mason Rudolph. If they trade up to the 6th pick with the colts I can see them getting Josh Allen. This would have to be done on draft day after the Broncos pick. So the way I see this playing out is Darnold to the Browns, Chubb to NYG, Baker Mayfield to the Jets then Barkley to the Browns. Then you have Den, who knows what will happen there. Then at 6 if we trade up with the Colts we get to select the number 1 QB on the Bills draft board Josh Allen. The other way this works out is the Bills trade up to 4. Then trade 4 to the NYG to get to the 2nd pick and take Josh Allen at #2. In my opinion Allen is the target for Bean with Rudolph as his fall back position for QB at 12. As far as Rosen this guy is going to be the biggest bust of the draft QB class. The more I listen to him talk and see what his team mates had to say about him the less I like him. He is skinny and injury prone. If anyone has watched the Movie Draft day 

Rosen is this drafts Bo Callahan or a real life Johnny Manziel. 

Predict you are wrong...

If Rosen is gone by our pick and Mayfield is still on board, I predict they take him. I also predict the bills have a higher draft grade on both Rosen and Mayfield. Rudolph is like a 2nd-3rd round talent! Jmo

Stop bring politics into this never once in this thread did I ever mention politics. 

 

Durability is a concern. Carries slight build and has had injury issues dating back to high school. Carries ball low in pocket with slight upward pre-throw hitch. Too casual in pocket set-up. Decision making and post-snap reads are inconsistent. Refuses easy throws at times. Arm talent and strength are below average. May need to make greater effort to drive field and seam throws. Poor career deep ball completion rate. Excess air under ball allows challenges. Lacks gun to challenge safeties with rip throws over the top. Needs better anticipation. Poor mobility. Struggles to elude early pressure. Completed just 42.4 percent of his throws when forced to move. Too much hero ball. Extends plays and takes unnecessary chances rather than throwing it away. Scouts question his passion for football and whether he will be a willing student.

If Rosen drops, and we take Rudolph over him, our entire front office should be fired and checked for mental health problems.

Not that far down they don't, won't. So instead of all talent, no fit...then McD all fit, no talent. Hmmm

I believe they see team building and chemistry as more important that talent alone. If they had Allen at 80 and Rudolph at 75 I put money on them taking Rudolph.

The last point you make should eliminate Josh Allen. Rosen has too many red flags. I made this point months ago, a QB from SoCal with a non-fiery disposition equals Rob Johnson V2.0

Here's Rudolph's weaknesses

 

So is this wrong but Rosen's right?

 

 

WEAKNESSES

 Over-strides at times. Rarely drives lower body through the throw causing ball to sail and float. May not generate enough velocity to beat ball-hawking corners who strangle passing windows. Field-side outs will be a challenge. Needs throws to stay on schedule. Needs to throw with better timing and placement on comeback and outs. Defaults to off-platform throws when he has time to step and deliver. Ball placement and decision making can run askew when forced to scramble from pocket. Ball will come out wobbly at times. Inexperienced as rollout passer. Benefitted from ball-winning targets downfield. Wasn't asked to get through many progressions in the offense. Has had ball security issues as a starter.

DRAFT PROJECTION

SOURCES TELL US

 "If you spoke with ten different scouts you would get at least four different opinions about him. I've just seen too many of those system quarterbacks struggle to make it in the league so I'm hesitant to buy in. He has gotten better this year." -- NFC team regional scout

NFL COMPARISON

 Christian Ponder

BOTTOM LINE

 Pocket quarterback with good size who has shown consistent improvement as a passer. Rudolph is more of a downfield, play-action passer than a quarterback who can win with precision and arm strength. He's a capable field reader who has the ability to operate with timing which will be important since his arm can be dull at times. Rudolph could be an early backup with the potential of becoming an average to below average starter in the league.

This sounds like a guy that should be drafted late 1st round or early 2nd round to me. This guy will drop like a rock in this draft you can count on it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, if that's why you don't like him, then why did you say that you would question whether you'd support him as the Bills QB?  If it's only because you are worried about if he is fragile or a team leader?

Find me one QB in any draft that didn't have weaknesses in their draft profile. Go back and read what they've said about other top QBs in the NFL before they were drafted. 

 

I can do the same with Mason Rudolph... Heres his negatives from his scouting report-

Sounds like a WB projected to go day 2, to me.

To me Rudolph is more reliable and a better leader then Rosen. His stats prove it and so does his non Injury related problems and also his winning record. But for me it’s the eye test, when I watch these two play in live action. Rudolph looks better and performs better then Rosen. Then you take into the account Rosen’s attitude and off the field stuff and Injury stuff and not relating or being condescending to his coaches.  So that’s why I rate him outside top 6 to 8 QB’s. So that’s my scouting report.

Fair enough. I have a different opinion on him and Rosen. But I am intrigued by Rudolph. I's prefer to land one of the top 4 QBs but I'd give very strong consideration to him and Jackson if that's not possible. 

IMO I think Rosen is clearly a better QB prospect than Rudolph. But what I question is - is Rosen that much better than Rudolph + all the picks we could surround him with if we didn't trade up? 

 

 

I still don't understand why you'd say that you would question if you'd support Rosen as the Bills QB if it's not about politics? 

 

If its truly just about your concerns over his injuries and his on field performance I don't see why you'd have to question whether or not you'd support him/The Bills if they drafted him. 

 

But that's your business, not mine so... 

 

all I know is that hat I will support whatever QB the Bills draft and give him a fair chance, even if it's not the one I want.
