Josh Harris

[BillyT92679]

Is playing very well for Bowling Green right now! The Bills should at least consider him.

[TigerJ]

Yes they should. When Bowling Green went head to head with Miami of Ohio, Roethlisberger was clearly the better of the two, but I like what Harris can do. He can play a controlled passing game. He throws on the run as well as anyone. He has excellent mobility and escapeability. I think with a little seasoning he could do very well in the NFL. His deep throws weren't always on the mark today and he made an ill advised pass or two, but I don't think he did anything that couldn't be corrected.

Take a look at UVA's Matt Schaub who plays today at 11:00 A.M. on ESPN 2.

Here's my rant from another Bills msg board about Harris:


386 yds passing, 3 td, 2 ints (1 was a tipped ball, I watched game)

68 yds rushing, 1 td

I take the rushing stat with a grain of salt due to the fact that Harris is practically playing both positions.

Regardless, this guy has a nice arm and definitely some accuracy, even if a bit raw at times, to go along with his ability to scramble and create with his legs. He reminds me of a McNair type qb, since his tendency was to hang in the pocket on a pass play, then only to take off as last resort. He was GREAT throwing on the run.

Sure you can sing about Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger, but will either one of them realistically be around by the time we're on the clock, with teams in need of QBs like Arizona, Pittsburg, San Diego, and Oakland ahead of us?

Will Tom Donahoe address this need? Will we continue to rely on an ancient statue who is a shell of what he COULD have actually become? Will he continue to try to build a line that would have to be equivalent to the Great Wall of China to protect Bledsoe? My logic is a clear NO! I agree that our line needs work but no matter the line, you only have so much time as a QB to make a play. Bledsoe seems to think he should be allowed all the time in the world. I found myself sometimes this season yelling at the tv screen for Bledsoe to "Fall forward!! At least get a YARD!! Don't just STAND there!!"

I say it's time for a change, time to look to a QB with a deeper and brighter future. Let Bledsoe go play for Parcells where he may actually get better hearing the Tuna yell "THROW IT! THROW IT!! THROW IT!!" at him in practice again.

DRAFT JOSH HARRIS!!

[Tatonka]

i dont like the guy.. i cant put my finger on why.. but i dont want him here.

[Iehoshua]

He can't be any worse than the statue.......

[DraftBoy]

Hes looked good and bad. I still like him and thats because he has a certain way about him when he plays that you can admire in the kid. He never gives up even if hes playing horribly, and he is always trying to make plays. He was BGSU's whole team. He solely led them to a Bowl game and into the top 25 rankings. He is gonna be good IMO. Looks to be a 3rd-5th round pick.

DRAFT JOSH HARRIS!!

While my NFL Draft intuition is a bit off, my future roster move intuition is dead on!

Good find, that is funny.

What's the big deal? I was just pointing out how bad my draft knowledge is but yet how I predicted the Drew/Billy Parcells reunion...

Re: Josh Harris

We could pick up Josh Harris, too. He's also out of a job.

Yeah, according to some on this board, anyone who is not JP is automatically better than JP.

Except Joey Harrington... I think we learned this leason yesterday.
