Huckleberry Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Lamar Jackson declares for the draft Don't think the bills are interested in him from what I've been reading. Might as well just stick with Taylor then :P Edited January 5, 2018 by blåbär Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 It's something that I have become increasingly aware of personally over the last year. I just don't have the emotional stamina to be worried about every terrible thing all the time. There's only so much any one person can do. I do what I can for others and try to live my life without spending every day clenching my teeth until my jaw hurts. And that's exactly it. I think we all owe it to do *something* to better the human condition, but we're not all going to turn into Mother Theresa. Do some volunteer work, contribute financially if you can, pray if that's something you do. And then enjoy life. Don't think the bills are interested in from what I've been reading. Might as well just stick with Taylor then :P Yeah but it's one more QB on the board that some team might select before the Bills pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRobertEichel Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Lamar Jackson declares for the draft Wouldn't be surprised to see 4 QB's taken with the first 6 picks of the draft - Browns, Giants, Jets, Broncos. Then you have the Cards at #15. Then you have a bunch of teams with aging franchise QB's who might be thinking about the future. Darnold, Rosen, Allen, Mayfield, and Jackson will be taken in the first round. Who else? Drew Lock? Mason Rudolph? I'm quickly moving toward the opinion of using our picks in the first 2 rounds on OL and DL instead. Don't force a franchise QB if one's not there. Remember the lessons from The Drought! Donahoe reached for Losman in 2004. Whaley reached for Manuel in 2013. I've been a vocal critic of Tyrod Taylor, but the fact of the matter is that he's still the best QB we've had since Jim Kelly. It wouldn't be an awful decision at this point to keep Tyrod for 2018 and resume the franchise QB search in 2019. At least that guy will be coming to a team that will have almost all of the roster pieces in place by September 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 If the Bills believe in Mike White they can probably wait until the 2nd or 3rd to snag him while addressing ther other needs first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Exactly. Hence why they should take a qb. Just do it where it makes sense and don't reach. Reaching is pretty subjective. Bet a lot of people at the time thought Wentz was a reach https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PeteNa00.htm :nana: Can't wait to start him in NE next week after Tyrod has a sub-par showing this week... FWIW @JoeBuscaglia LeSean McCoy is indeed on the practice field today again. Stretching with the team. Sean McDermott said McCoy would do positional drills today. #Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 If your QB is there, then pick him, but don't reach. The more QBs that go in the top half of the draft the more grade A prospects at other positions will get pushed down. Sure, they could use a QB, but I think they have more needs at DT and LB.

LGR4GM Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I sure as f*ck like them taking Roquan. Peterman fans will love a white guy named White. After that first half against Oklahoma I was down on Roquan... then the second half occurred and my faith was restored. If your QB is there, then pick him, but don't reach. The more QBs that go in the top half of the draft the more grade A prospects at other positions will get pushed down. Sure, they could use a QB, but I think they have more needs at DT and LB. Absolutely. If 5 qbs go, that means someone great is sliding. More talent more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is likely to be worth about $100 million. Lol Mark Davis. The Pardon My Take show dropped a joke in which it was posited that Davis wants to hire Gruden because, when Davis looks in the mirror, he (Davis) thinks he looks like Gruden; that Davis has fantasies of living out some sort of buddy-movie with Gruden in which they occasionally wear matching outfits and confound other people in the organization who cannot tell them apart. And, really. It's a funny joke. It's also plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Everything I hear about Dalton makes him sound just like Tannehill; the most frustrating player you could ever have as QB He was great against college-level competition. Just okay at the NFL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
