I think the plug was pretty much pulled after 20 games. He only had 3 starts after that. 2 were because of the starter being injured. How should we have handled that differently?

BE PATIENT There really are only a couple of guys that could hit the ground starting in this draft and even they could use some time holding a clip board.... but if the bills brain trust decides to throw them in and let them learn can we please not immediately look to replace them if they should start rough? They will be a ROOKIE.....they are gonna make mistakes.....throw interceptions.....not make the right read.....not win comeback games immediately down by 14...... but If we are patient with them they WILL get it done in time. Love you bills fam Whoever we are about to draft STILL hasn't won a game, thrown for 300 yards or a TD. He is CLEARLY a bust. He should be cut now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love you bills fam Agreed. People must be bored of people saying this, but who are the best QBs in the game? Brees, Rodgers and Brady? They all spent a year on the bench, or more. As did Carson Palmer, Philip Rivers and Kirk Cousins. It ain't a bad thing. It doesn't guarantee anything either, of course, but it does give guys time to ingrain good mechanical habits if they need upgrades and to figure out how to study film and how to start to read defences.

Just Joshin' Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I have no doubt there will be a post that the rookie is a bust the first time a ball hits the ground in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping off bridges is NOT bad if it results in less Chicken Littles .... you need to break some eggs to make an omelet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite novelists, Georges Bernanos, said that it would require God at the final judgement to clarify "why so many imbeciles." Unfortunately, the wise are always few. Can't let the irrationality of the mass of men deter one from pursuing excellence -- in this case, drafting a potential franchise qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he showed so many glimpses of greatness that the W/L record and poor stats were readily overlooked. That's going to be the key if we draft a guy and start him right away. If not, he's going to get roasted by the hot pocket fan base. Which is completely unfair and stupid, really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
