Roch Jim Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Once is a data point, twice is a trend, and three times is a meaningful statistic. So with that in mind--Trent Edwards, JP Losman, Rob Johnson. And just for fun, throw in Matt Cassell and Vince Ferragamo All QBs either raised or educated (or both) in Cali, and all failures with The Bills. I don't know if it's the weather, the mentality here (or there), the over-rating that comes with being a California star, or something else, but please no more West Coast flops. You have to go back to Jack Kemp, 50 years, to find a Cali born & educated QB who had success here. I have nothing against Darnold and Rosen except their places of birth and education, so please, Mr. Beane, give up 2 #1s, a #2, and a #3 to go ensure we get Baker with the 2nd pick. Or worst case, catch Josh Allen, (Fresno area born, but at least he went to Wyoming) after he falls past the 6th spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those ex-Bills QBs he cites played a lot more games in good weather than bad--and still weren't very good. Had nothing to do with being from CA...

Beast Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I agree, OP. In fact, I never want the Bills to draft a QB again unless he’s from East Brady, PA. I just don’t trust anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QB with the most wins in Buffalo over the last 20 years is from San Mateo, CA. Unfortunately, he plays for the Pats but nonetheless, your theory is hawt gaaaaabage.
