Des this mean JBot owes Rob Blake a favor ?
-
He may be the only decent QB left when it's our turn to pick.
-
Most likely, his kids are fairly young so school is not an issue and I'm sure the wife would love to be close to her sis.
-
I dunno about that ... might breath new life into the old dog. Maybe the Isles will take him back for a song and dance ?
-
Why couldn't there be a workable trade for MM where we retain most of the salary ? If a team had claimed him, they would've been responsible for all of his salary for this year.
-
I think the language barrier might be a deterrent, although many Americans play in the KHL now. Moving and selling a house is part of the biz ... what if Moulson had been traded ?
-
Mine is an uneducated armchair opinion ... let's listen to some others. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000870850/article/sources-tell-us-scout-says-josh-allen-most-talented-qb-in-class https://www.metro.us/sports/nfl-mock-draft-2018-josh-allen-to-broncos https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/11/14/josh-allen-wyoming-2018-nfl-draft-top-small-school-prospects http://draftwire.usatoday.com/2017/11/23/2018-nfl-draft-big-board-is-josh-allen-still-a-top-10-prospect/

I'm not saying Allen is the answer. I am saying he deserves to be evaluated as a potential 1st round pick.
-
Not sure about Wentz but he is big with a great arm. As for Allen, I'm willing to let the Bills scouting staff evaluate him as an entire package and not just on the arm. Good news is that other QBs will likely be available when the Bills draft.

Second thoughts ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZzG_Sj_rSU -
I don't what the system is, but when an opposing team is allowed to cycle and recycle in your own end without impediment, there's an issue.
-
I'm guessing our slowest players are Pominville, Okposo & Bogosian. Reinhart isn't setting any speed recs either. 1st two aren't going anywhere.
-
You mean like Carson Wentz ?
-
Glad you said most as Trent Dilfer was pretty average. I'm giving him the doubt of the benefit - hurt his throwing shoulder against Air Force.
-
Maybe he had no one to throw to ... kinda like Tyrod.
-
Agreed, they'd be crazy to waive Nolan. At least he comes to play every shift and is a decent banger in the corners.
-
Prediction time: Who will be the next Sabre to be shipped out?
Gramps replied to nfreeman's topic in The Aud Club
Zemgus next, Kane biggest name, and Lehner can't be shipped out fast enough. -
Some say Mayfield's arm strength is average at best, so maybe I look harder at Allen/Rosen/Darnold/Jackson. Mayfield also played on a lot better team than Allen. And you are right, some smaller guys can succeed if the offense is built to their strong points a la Wilson.
-
With the notable exception of Brees, all of the top 15 in career passing yards are 6'2" and taller. Brady has won 5, mostly passing from the pocket and with limited mobility. Draft a taller guy with a great arm, build an offensive line to protect him, and get him some weapons.
-
There was a reason I used those guys and not the ones you mentioned with the exception of Flacco. I actually think he can play a bit. All other things being equal, I'll take someone 6'2" and above.
-
There is a reason that scouts tag some draftable QBs with size warnings even though there are anomalies like Wilson and Brees. And I do agree that tall QBs also move around at times to see the field better but the extra few inches does matter - would Brady be as good at 6'0" ? Would you rather have a John Elway/Brett Favre/Peyton Manning/Jim Kelly type as your franchise QB or someone 6'1" on paper and most likely shorter ?
-
Sure he is, as the linemen are not standing up to their full height while blocking. A better question might be how many times we've seen TT roll out of the pocket when he might not have needed to.
-
C'mon he'll fit right in ... in 17 games with the Wings, 0 points so far.
-
What would happen if Moulson went over to Europe or the KHL and played ? I assume we would be off the hook at that point ?
