U make it seem like it’s a coin flip
While we don’t know for sure,
educated guesses can be made

I DVRd every game on TV this past season from these QBs (and Luke Falk, who i also like)
I’m telling ya,
Allen looked like garbage 90% of the time
Idk what games he “looked good” in,
but they weren’t games broadcasted on Cable tv here
He had ONE good half in all the games i saw

That doesn’t mean there’s no way he can be successful...
but he also scares me more than anyone else bc i watched him play like crap over & over

Did u watch any games this year?

Let’s just say that Rosen (or Darnold, etc) looked good in 8 games,
and Allen looked good in 2

I’d have to think you’d be more comfortable taking Rosen...
right?

How will it all work out?
We will have to wait & see
But that doesn’t mean we can’t make a reasonable guess

If it’s just a coin flip,
then we should just stay where we are & pick whoever
I don’t agree with that thinking

If there’s a guy we like & we have to trade up to get him...
then you do it

Well then u can look back to BEFORE this season even started
& you’ll see how i REPEATEDLY brought up that Rosen was ranked AHEAD of Darnold, and that Darnold passed him bc Rosen got hurt

Been a fan of UCLA since i was a kid
and went there for a year

So u can pretend u were in on Rosen before me, but it’s just not true

I still have the game vs A&M on my DVR
That 4th quarter was freaking amazing
Thankfully, i taped the stupid wrestling show after too, bc the game ran over & i would’ve missed the last 5min of the amazing comeback

I guess today was my day to go to school. I'm a quick learner, but not quite quick enough to get a degree in one year.

Would it matter either way?

Mayock had Allen as his #1 QB, others have him last out of the 5 or 6 potential 1sts.

There's a variance on them all.

I can't pretend to know how any will be in the NFL

I give points to Hatboro who came in looked at all the QB's with no bias toward their schools and chose Rosen. Stirring the pot with someone who just has to be the "one" is satisfying.

E-Rod should go to Jack's wing. I still can't believe we haven't done that. Mittelstadt should get a chance to play center...we can always put Rodger back there if Middlingstats is better served on the wing.

Strange that neither bylsma nor housley put erod with eichel.

Seams like an obvious pairing

Yeah, I don't get it.

I think MP is right that E-Rod played better as a center, but he had magical chemistry with Jack once...we aren't even going to try and capture lightning in a bottle there?

Phil and Dan shuffled lines constantly. When they both avoid certain combos, it's not a coincidence.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. He decided to play out the string with 28 and 29 there for some unknown reason

We were a dumpster fire all season. No reason not to experiment.

Not giving it a shot is like the grade school teacher separating me and my friend because we were too loud...at recess.

So many think we'll be garbage again next year. If that's the case, we'll have 82 more opportunities.

Josh Allen can throw a football over a mountain

And has no accuracy

GM's : oh we can fix that

Source: Bills likely gunning for Giants No. 2 pick

A source has told Metro New York that the Bills want to get up in the top three of the 2018 NFL Draft.

You really think it goes that way? We're a bad team and struggle to score, so let's just rotate a bunch of third line wingers that we don't expect to work well with Jack onto the first line? If Jack thought it was a good fit, you would have seen it.

So Jack is coaching? I wasn't aware he was making lines, thought that was Phil's job. Not saying he doesn't have say in it, but I doubt Jack is telling Housley who he's playing with.

And that is the point, I could see E-Rod and Jack playing well together...they certainly did at Boston. Why you assume those two wouldn't work together is beyond me.

Beyond that, even further down the rabbit hole, we were already playing a bottom 6 forward (Gus) with Jack as it was...Gus could have just as easily played 4th line center while the experiment was tested. Wouldn't have cost you a single thing this season we were dead last.

That's a good point, but this was a complete lost season.
They shuffled everyone, but them together.

I do like erod ar 3rd line center

I like the idea of E-Rod with Jack. Other winger on that line would be if we get one of the big ones in the draft.
