HappyDays Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I see Darnold as Philip Rivers with more mobility. His downside is Mark Sanchez and his upside is Aaron Rodgers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, that is why Josh Allen is no go for me if Rosen, Mayfield and Darnold are available. You can win Super Bowls with guys who aren't necessarily the biggest, strongest- armed guys, protypical QBs. 5 minutes ago, TheFunPolice said: The Darnold/Stafford comparisons make some sense to me... Stafford throws for a billion yards but also turns it over a lot. I think coaching can correct that a bit, though. They seem somewhat similar personality wise too.

Mayfield, it's his size. with Allen it's about 10 different things. i think it's really hard to try and predict what they will be. that's why i lean a little more towards what they are now. Rosen is the best now imo Edited April 19, 2018 by kdiggz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosen is the best now imo Rosen (seems to me) is one big hit away from broken. When I look at him, he just looks tiny. Are there any small (210 at 6'3) drop back QB's who have survived? Especially Since I've read that he struggles with getting rid of the ball when need be. I think that his character concerns aren't a huge deal, but the question of "does he need football" is a valid one when you consider his injury history.

whatdrought Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) 7 minutes ago, kdiggz said: he's 226, he's bigger than Darnold and much bigger than Mayfield I stand corrected. I was quoting a bad source. Here are their combine measurements: Rosen: 6'4, 226lbs Darnold: 6'3, 220lbs Mayfield: 6'1, 215lbs That being said, I still would say that Rosen is smaller than those two given the height to weight ration and the fact alone that his build is much more "frail" or "slight" (which is pretty evident in pictures/exactly what Daniel Jeremiah said on RE show yesterday.) Rosen also has (unless I am mistaken) missed significant time with concussions, which is worrisome. I did look up stats about sacks and it looks as if Rosen and Mayfield were both sacked 26 times last year, and Darnold was sacked 29 times. So I could be wrong in my idea that Rosen gets hit more.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 8 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Really? To me they couldn't be more different. Stafford is all arm - he seems to lack a feel for the game and game situations. Rarely comes up big with the game on the line. Darnold has bad mechanics but, despite that, his ball placement is the best in this class. And he's a natural leader, which Stafford really isn't. Really?? Stafford has 32 career game winning drives (7th among active QBs, and nobody else in the top 10 is from 2009 or later) and he has 26 4th Quarter comebacks (T-4th among active QBs, and nobody else in the top 10 is from 2009 or later).

Yeah... Stafford is a stud with the game on his shoulders. Detroit should be in the running for the big dance every year, except that they seem incapable of providing a defense and a run game for Stafford to work with...

(though I have yet to see them protect a Bills QB) I really don't know about Rosen. My ranking is: Mayfield* Rosen & Darnold Allen (though I have a sneaky feeling he could be great) Rudolph Jackson * I even go back and forth on Mayfield because I, as a rule, prefer guys who use their play to talk for them, so his attitude concerns me a bit (just personally), but I think he has a passion that will serve him well. If the bills take Rosen, he will be our guy and I will love it. Also, I was thinking the other day that Rosen might be nice because his political leanings and attitude is bound to get us some attention, which can be nice.

YoloinOhio Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I am listening to the John Dorsey press conference. He is so incredibly abrasive. Ok they are definitely taking Darnold. He just went on about the importance of hand size and specifically said that Darnold’s hands were worrisome because of the Cleveland weather. Ok Buddy Nix.
