Thank god we didn't do that.

 

Bryce Young is way more talented than Sam Howell. 

It wouldn't be a question of Howell vs. Young.

It's be a question of Howell + the trade package we spent to get up to #1 vs. Young. Young better be orders of magnitude better.

If Howell is on the roster we probably don't trade up for a QB. We likley take Kincaid at #9.

 

Mediocrity continues...

Sorry, but this just makes no sense.

We took a QB about 50 picks earlier than Howell in that draft and it didn't stop us from making a move for the #1 pick.  Sure, Howell didn't get hurt like Corral did, but he only played in 1 game and threw less than 20 passes, it's not like he showed some crazy potential that would have made us wanting to go into the season with him as our starter this year.

Lewan has had a bunch of injuries lately but could be very solid tackle depth if he'd come cheap. Also, our old buddy McD is apparently very concerned about Diggs skipping mandatory minicamp, wonder if he winds up forcing a trade...

I was always a big Lewan fan, but he's lost a ton of weight. I think he's giving up on the NFL and just happy to be doing his podcast with Barstool Sports.

Let's cut this one off before it gets started, we will never trade for Diggs, nor should we even entertain it.

Absolutely one of the best WRs in the league, better than Hopkins is at this point as well.  But the guy is a huge diva who demands targets and when he doesn't get as many as he likes, he loses his cool.

That's just the exact opposite type of a WR you want to give to a rookie QB, particularly one whose game looks like it will be predicated on making the right reads, spreading the ball around, and not forcing the ball to any one player.

Would be the worst thing for Bryce's development and even worse for the development of TMJ/Mingo than Hopkins would be.

to be clear I wasn't suggesting we would or should be involved, this is an NFL news thread so that's why I added it

I had a feeling from some comments he said last year he seems to be getting tired of never making it to the Super Bowl and feels the Bills window is closing. 
I am kinda in that camp too. But I think McDermott will enter 2023 season on a warm seat.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
