Punt75 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Remember the Jim Kelly fiasco when drafted in the 1st Round in 1983? NOW they get the same 1st Round salary no matter where they play. The TOP 4 QB's in the draft either grew up in CA or FL! Quite a shock (culturally & weather wise). Just maybe they & their agents don't want the Bills to "trade-up"??

YoloinOhio Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Mayfield grew up in Austin, TX. Are you putting Lamar in the top 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 The world is so much different in 2018 than in 1983. It’s a much smaller world. It doesn’t matter where you go anymore. The best athlete in the world is in Cleveland and he isn’t hidden being there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I don’t think it’s fair to say that guys from Florida or California definitely won’t come here. It really all depends on the individual player, and their maturity level. There will always be outliers who refuse to play somewhere, but I don’t think they will ever be the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I don't think this happens anymore. I mean the last time something of this magnitude happened, Eli almost cried due to the chargers drafting him and they literally played in an area with the nicest weather all year around in the states.

Do you honestly think, a Top 5 QB prospect wants to come to Buffalo NY and be IGNORED by the National Media as he plays through the first few years of his career??

He won’t be ignored by the national media if he doesn’t suck. A guy like Mayfield would be the biggest story in the league if he lit it up his first season in Buffalo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Yes, I talked to Rosen earlier and both Allen and Darnold last week. They all said they would like to come to Buffalo. I told Baker I would call him later tonight but he did say via text, that Buffalo was his number 1 choice.

dlonce Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 It’s obvious the op wants the Bills to keep all their picks. Why the attempts to persuade those who want to get a QB to change their thoughts? I've almost seen everything here with the arguments not to draft a QB via trade up. Its getting old. You either want to or not. The Bills management will decide,not us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will make Punt75 create more account names for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
