i get it, drafting a QB past #1 overall is a low odds crap shoot...
but trading for or signing a proven free agent is low risk....you just gotta pay the piper in the form of draft picks and/or cash.
Fitzpicksix is an ok QB, whose biggest weakness is a deal killer, he throws a lousy deep ball.
now try explaining away all the PROVEN QB's that changed teams during that same time period, that the bills did not act on.
Kurt Warner(2005 F/A to AZ), Drew Brees(2006 F/A to N.O.), Matt Schaub (2007 for two 2's), Jay Cutler(2009 for two 1's), Mike Vick(2009 F/A to PHI), Brett Farve(2009 F/A to MIN), Matt Cassel (2009 for a 2nd, made a probowl and won div in 2010), Peyton Manning(2012 F/A to DEN), and a host of lesser names...fitz(2009), kolb, flynn, orton, palmer, hasselbeck.
