baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 yes you have to have a qb that has it in his arsenal , Taylor was awful at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I have felt since the signing of McCarron it is completely obvious they want a drop back passer. Most of the time you don't want to completely change the game plan with your backup in case of injury. You generally want backup QBs who run the same style of offense. Having Peterman and McCarron says to me that it will be Rosen, Darnold, Allen, Rudolph and maybe Mayfield. No Lamar Jackson I think they have had their fill of running QBs and it took us to a point.

eball Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wait, are people interpreting quotes from GMs and HCs prior to the draft again? I'd call you all morons but that wouldn't be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar Jackson is a work in progress, but I think it is inaccurate to say he can't drop back and pass, and be good at it. This is correct. Jackson is a drop-back QB with exceptional athleticism when the play breaks down. Really, the only reason the Bills should avoid Jackson is that Bills fans seem to be getting dumber and will give the guy zero benefit of the doubt because they assume he must be like Tyrod all over again. He'll have a tough time succeeding here unless he goes full Watson right out of the gate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this only further confirms that Lamar Jackson is a real possibility. They are putting this narrative out there to "distance" themselves from Lamar in hopes that he falls to them Sometimes I think coaches and GMs at this time of year will say anything they want (true or not) because they know everything that comes out of their mouth will be taken with a grain of salt. McD just might be telling the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the case as well. Stay in the pocket and read the field in an efficient manner. Not hold the ball for three seconds and start running around until someone comes open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokes84 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 1 hour ago, mjt328 said: The only guy I can't see the Bills being interested in is Lamar Jackson. His game is almost identical to Tyrod Taylor's. He's definitely got a stronger arm, and is slower as a runner. But their styles are the same. Jackson's abilities will be enhanced by a creative Offensive Coordinator, who is willing to incorporate lots of roll-outs, the occasional read-option and some designed QB runs. That was everything we tried to move away from last year. Tyrod Taylor can't sniff Lamar Jackson's jockstrap in any facet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 If indeed they tried to move up to #3, Lamar was never the primary target imo. That would be moving picks for nothing and not something Beane would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardb1952 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The only reason Jackson would not be considered by the Bills is if they do not feel his accuracy issues are correctable. When you watch the tape on Jackson, you can see that he looks to throw when it is a passing play, even when the play breaks down. Having the athleticism to be able to extend plays is an added bonus that makes Jackson that much more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans and media are going to be brutal on anyone they draft at QB, just wait until the guy who many think will be “the savior” throws a bad INT on a rookie mistake.

Agree, with Darnold being the consolation prize. However, it looks less and less likely that either will be available for the Bills. In this case, Jackson could be an interesting consolation prize at 12. Edited March 27, 2018 by richardb1952 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdue Bill Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 1 hour ago, thenorthremembers said: I think you better add Allen to that list. I truly believe they have Rosen and Allen ahead of Darnold. Allen has an accuracy problem though...he is a "drop back and spray" type of QB. Not saying that we shouldn't draft him..we just shouldn't mortgage our future for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they really want Rosen or Darnold and that's the only 2 that I believe they're willing to package a deal for. From Beane's earlier descriptions now to McDermott's. I wouldn't rule out Allen.
