Codyny13 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 FIU is my alma mater. Nice to see some players come out there. That being said, Morgan is aight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that he's a free agent after the year and having a cheap backup would be great. Gives the Bills a full season to evaluate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his 3rd season in the league, and a lot of people are going to be expecting a lot from him. To be fair, Josh Allen has stepped up, we all saw it. If anyone thinks that Allen did not improve at all from his first year to his second year, then I don't know what will satisfy them. Also, if Josh Allen is on the hot seat this year, then so is Tremaine Edmunds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The “Buffalo Fanatics” had him on their U tube channel for an interview thing, Morgan appears to be an intelligent guy with a good arm. Check out the U tube video if you want to see/hear Rico and him chat for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I think he is the only true developmental QB worth taking in this draft. You take Eason, Hurts or even Fromm you are likely thinking at some point of giving them a shot to compete for the job. Morgan is the only other guy after the top 7 that I'd actually spend a pick on and I think you are comfortable if he never starts a game his first 3 years. You work and develop him. The Patriots have scouted him heavily. I originally thought 6th/7th round but there has been sufficient buzz since he shone at the Shrine Game that I now think he goes off the board in round 5 - and I'd still be okay taking him there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have as good of a defense as the Bills have with some shlub in the middle if it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 He will be a 7th or UDFA probably. Another kick at the can at making an upgrade at backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think either of them are on the hot seat. I think Allen is getting better and better, and that Edmunds is doing very good. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I don’t hate the idea of throwing a late round QB into the mix. You need camp arms if nothing else. Maybe he turns into something and is a good backup, or is there it Josh falters, or is a guy who can be a trade piece down the road. People forget how amazing it worked for the Redskins to grab Cousins after spending a fortune on RG3 - even if they screwed it in the long run. The draft should never be approached as a “this year” situation. Yes you can look at who helps you most now, especially in the early rounds, but you have to keep an eye on the 5 year plan. Every spot on the roster should have competition and “hot seats” from our young QB, to our All-Pro cornerback.

JaCrispy Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Had a great year in 2018...65% comp....2700 yards...8.7 yds/att...27 TD, 7 INT... and I’m always partial to an over-the-top throwing motion (thanks Jim) Lol... Seems to have regressed a little in 2019...overall though appears to be a solid developmental prospect...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 If Beane and McDermott are on board, I am too. I have no reason to doubt their drafting. Plus I don't watch college ball so I have no clue who any of these players are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Allen goes down Barkley just isn’t good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 The first question I have. Does he have more upside than Davis Webb? Webb has some size and a live arm and had some backers when he came out of college. If that has gone away and the Bills have decided he has some flaws that they can't fix, then it makes sense to switch out. Otherwise, aren't there other positions where more depth/competition makes more sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
