LGR4GM Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 I have been focusing on Rudolph and Jackson because I think they will be there at 21 and idk if I want to trade up for anyone else. Quote
Gramps Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 A little side Gretzky story - I was in grad school at UB in '82 and my buddy's dad gave us his tickets for 2/24/82 for the Oilers. Just happened to be the night Gretzky broke Espo's record. After the game, we went to Mulligan's on Hertel to hook up with some other classmates. Gretzky, Semenko, and few other Oilers showed up and my buddy was brave enough to ask Gretzky to do a shot for my b-day. Wayne and Semenko said yes with no hesitation and proceeded to set up about 12 B-52 shots on the bar. We toasted happy b-day and we then left them alone. True story but alas no pics to prove it.

That's pretty awesome. What a hell of a cool birthday. Also I feel like this is the most Buffalo thing. You do the shot and then you let them be. IME (in my experience) I have seen multiple Sabres outside of the arena and no one seems to bother them. Some hello's and head nods, the occasional small kid getting a high five but all in all, people are pretty chill when they see them out. Quote

WildCard Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Posted February 16, 2018 You guys forgot to add your proposed solution for the Bills at QB until the new pick is ready. I've said it a few times, McCaron Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 You guys forgot to add your proposed solution for the Bills at QB until the new pick is ready. I think either 1 of the Vikings guys (whoever is released) or Maybe take a shot at AJ McCarron. I think Nick Foles will cost too much and if I am drafting a QB, I am not trading picks for another one. I've said it a few times, McCaron McCarron isn't going to wow anyone but he could be a solid placeholder for a year. Idk, after seeing so much of him in college he doesn't really excite me but he is an option. Quote

I'm not willing to wait a couple more years if other experienced QBs are available that give us a better chance. Quote

Gramps Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 What other experienced QB's? My comment was meant as an alternative to McCarron - I'm leery of Bradford and Bridgewater due to injuries. So alternatives to McCarron - Foles / Cousins / Keenum / Fitz / McCown / Moore / even Kaepernick if the blacklist is lifted. Quote

The Dominator Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 Has anyone seen this before? I found this article that does a really good job of predicting successful NFL QBs before they are drafted. It isn't perfect (it projected Jared Goff to be a bust) but it does a good job of telling you which QBs to avoid. I think it actually projected Dak to be a success. For this upcoming crop of QBs, if I did the numbers correctly, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, and Mason Rudolph all project to be successful. Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield are projected as busts. Check it out, they list their results and you can use the decision tree like I did to see which prospects fall under which category. http://duelingdata.blogspot.com/2017/04/predicting-qb-success-in-nfl.html Quote
The Dominator Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/964603324761890816 From Rapoport: On the #Panthers GM opening: Now that he was fully cleared, interim Marty Hurney is once again considered the favorite for the full-time job, I'm told. Not a surprise, that's where he was pre-leave. Should wrap up, too. Lake Dawson had 2 interviews with Carolina for the GM job, but it looks like they'll stick with their own guy. Him and Leslie Frazier both stick with our team for at least another season which is good for us Quote

LGR4GM Posted February 17, 2018 Report Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Watched a lot of breakdown of Jackson and Rudolph and 1 of Allen. Rudolph is the best pocket guy but his passes have less velocity then the other 2. He's accurate but I also think he had way better receivers. Jackson makes reads where Rudolph doesn't. He throws harder and his foot work isn't great. Rudolph throws from a better base. Jackson's accuracy isn't a concern for me. Both Jackson and Rudolph make good throws and at all levels. I think Jackson has a higher ceiling but also a lower floor. Rudolph not making a lot of reads worries me. Rudolph has slightly better touch. But Jackson is good. I noticed a lot of drops from his receivers. I noticed Jackson over threw receivers too. Usually he was throwing off base but still. Allen is a mess. Canon arm. Never seems to throw set. A lot of play action passes. Does do progressions but sometimes makes the wrong read. Very athletic. When he does sit in the pocket, he will make good throws. He's started a ton less games then the other 2 and honestly that's not a good thing. He's got major bust potential. His accuracy is meh. He has no touch sometimes just guns it. If I'm buffalo I'm thinking about Rudolph. If I'm giving my honest opinion, Jackson still gives me the best feeling. He looks right when he steps up in the pocket. He steps up a lot and he works hard. I'm taking Jackson at 21. Edited February 17, 2018 by SkuggaLiger Quote
darksabre Posted February 17, 2018 Report Posted February 17, 2018 Who would you say was completing the most heavily contested throws? I want the guy who hits his receivers with a defender draped all over them. Quote

Lots of teams need QBs if the draft order stays as is. Quote

I want the guy who hits his receivers with a defender draped all over them.Jackson threw guys open and hit tight windows. Rudolph less so but that's because of the timing routes that he tossed at There's always the chance Jackson might not be there @ 21/22, especially after the combine. Lots of teams need QBs if the draft order stays as is.Very true Quote

Brawndo Posted February 17, 2018 Report Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) From Benjamin Albright #Bills have been calling around, pursuing potential trade partners in the top ten of this year's draft. Presumably for a shot at a quarterback. Not exactly shocking news Edited February 17, 2018 by Brawndo Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 18, 2018 Report Posted February 18, 2018 To trade up they should dangle Glenn instead of both 1st round picks. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted February 18, 2018 Report Posted February 18, 2018 Both 1sts this year, Glenn, next year first and a 2nd is probably starting point to get #2 from Giants Quote

Ho-Chi-Sock Posted February 18, 2018 Report Posted February 18, 2018 that is way to much lol, would dangle Glenn just keep one of those firsts. Seriously, and none of these QBs are a "sure thing". Even the top talent, Rosen, has enough questions about his maturity/intangibles to draw comparisons to Ryan Leaf. Quote
