Kirby Jackson Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Derek Carr comes to mind. I didn’t think that he’d be awful but didn’t think that he’d be good. He’s better than I expected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Kevi Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Cam Newton. I was so happy when the Panthers "saved us from him" (chan said he would have picked Newton). And we got Mr. Big Puff. I was very excited. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury is still out on more recent classes but Trubisky is probably the biggest candidate for proving me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnbillsbacker Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 It seems like all of these QBs are so scrutinized that I get the impression that they all stink then several of them end up being pretty good. The draft experts claimed that Goff and Wentz were two of the worst QBs prospects every drafted with a top 2 pick and both are good pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I don’t ever really pretend to know how any of the qb’s are gonna shake out. I don’t know how anyone really could after watching surprise qb after surprise qb bust or flourish.... one guy that really comes to mind for everyone else is cam newton. I wasn’t on this board yet but over at BBMB there were a ton of “experts” that just knew Newton wasn’t gonna be any good. There were really strong opinions on him and a lot of people turned out to be horribly mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeBuffaloGreatAgain Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Alex Smith and Cam Newton. I thought they were products of gimmicky offenses that used a 1 read system and easy throws. I didn’t think either would ever be competitive in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're like a little kid whose mom didn't buy the toy he wanted so he throws a hissy fit, or pouts, or whatever. I would have preferred Rosen, but it doesn't matter.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 John Elway. I knew way back then that 'old bolt neck' would crush the hearts of countless opposing fans with those late game comebacks for the Broncos. Seriously, a very successful QB from a very QB rich draft.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I can't think of any but have a good idea why the OP started the thread. I guess the truth hurts, they didn't draft rosen and I'm really glad they didn't and look forward to allen leading the offense. they made the right pick.
