There are many "what if" scenerios and the true meaning of this post is not to beat a dead horse but to hopefully shed some light on the thought process currently at One Bills Drive. I am sure it has been posted 300 times, but I honestly dont recall this one. Maybe, hopefully, they dont want to make the mistake below twice.....
In 2004 Buffalo went into the draft with both WR and QB on their mind. Rumor has it that they were interested and made an attempt for Rothlesberger who was eventually taken 2 picks before Buffalo's pick of Lee Evans. For whatever reason it then seemed as if panic set in and Buffalo "needed" to get the #4 quarterback on the board even with Bledsoe slated to be the starter. They traded up with Dallas to #22 to select Losman. Many thought it was a "reach" and Loseman threw 5 passes all season.
Anyway, assuming we kept that pick and didnt trade up to select a little known, marginal, happy-footed QB....Aaron Rodgers would have been there for the picking in the 2005 draft at #20 which would have been Buffalo's pick. He was drafted by Green Bay at #24
Really nothing changed these circumstances other than the picks were swaped. SO, if Buffalo would have been patient we all could be watching Aaron Rodgers suit up every Sunday instead of the product they continue to put on the field.
I do hope that the lack of moves they have made at the QB postion is so they dont make the same mistake twice and are truely waiting for their man.
