    What should we do for the QB position?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    We draft a QB to replace Brohm, consider PS'ing Brown or trading him and/or look for a FA to bring in. If Carson Palmer would be willing to sit on the bench I would be willing to bring him in for 2nd string money. I would like to see us head in to camp with 5 QB's, Fitz, Brohm, Brown, a FA, and a mid-to-late round draftee. I am not opposed to Ponder, if he makes it to the 3rd, after seeing some of the Senior Bowl but I would not like to start him any time soon.

     

    If we think we have a rough problem, Miami is in a much worse place. They know they need a QB. They have no clear cut options with their draft pick to land a good QB. Picking 15th they may not have a chance to get Locker and may have to draft Newton, or worse, spend the pick on Ponder early. They would probably like to put in some claims for Palmer or Kolb but might not be able to afford either unless contracts are restructured.

     

    As far as the Bills, I wouldn't waste our breath on QB. On offense our priorities go in order: TE, OT, WR, RB. I would like us to sign a guy who can do what Darick Holmes used to do, give us a big body to change up and break the middle once in a while.

    I like your order for the offense, but we have to address the QB position IMO... Let it be late round, trade or FA. I'm not saying Kolb or Young are the answer though. It would be cool to see Fitz and Palmer reunite. What FA QB's are out there this year?

     

    Draft a Qb or make a move for Flacco, theres alot of talk about him being really upset they let Zorn go as a QB coach and he takes it as the team believing he had a bad year

     

    Kolb hasn't impressed me as much as the Eagles (like my opinion compares) but i don't know if he's as good as they believe and worth a bunch of picks.

     

    As for Young, the only thing that would bother me is giving up something for someone who will be cut eventually, and has been rumored to have a very poor attitude and he isn't a leader. He's definitly shown he can win, but he is a big risk because of his atitude

     

    This is a good year to draft a QB because we have Fitz to start the year with and allow the Qb to sit and learn instead of throwing them into the fire. The question is weither or not theres someone worth taking at #3 or is it better to wait a round or 2.

     

    I always question those that always say no to drafting a QB in round one, and say they have to draft another position #1, like its the only right move to make and those players are never bust and are guaranteed. How come you can always draft a QB (the most important position on the field) later in the draft, but a Tackle (offence or defence), or LB can only be found in the 1st?

    I understand your point about the QB. I think with the #3 pick we shouldn't pick a QB. We will have the the 2nd pick in the 2nd round. There should be a QB to get. Maybe an awesome TE...

    I would hate that pick more then I hated the Maybin, more then I hated the Whitner pick, etc. Seriously this team is in dire need of talent, we cannot !@#$ up the 3rd pick(which is pretty near impossible, but the Bills have a knack for screwing up high draft picks)

    It seems the past 11 years this is our most exciting time of the year... Who our we going to pick in the 1st?? Then we look back and see who we passed on. :oops:

    I don't see anything that leads me to believe the Bills are ready to build around Fitzpatrick. Chan likes him, but when he says things like "I've made it to the playoffs with worse"......it's a stretch to think what he really means is "franchise quarterback".

    Fitzy was solid this year. Build off of that for the time being. Select D in the 1st. QB in the in the 2nd or 3rd. The problem is on Defense. Period. Other than a few blowouts (Packers, Vikings, Patriots, and BOTH Jets games), we were in the rest of those games. It was the D that was the weak link. When teams are averaging 163 or 167 (whatever the stat is) rushing yards per game, THERE IS A PROBLEM!!!! We need D.....

    :w00t:

     

    Oh yeah... Whitnerless, GET OFF MY TEAM!!!!!

    More nonsense. A lot of these mocks demonstrate the national media isn't paying any attention to Buffalo. Otherwise, they'd realize:

     

    - Chan loves Fitz

    - they have a bias to taking "best player available"

     

    So if they don't have an overt agenda to replace Fitz and Gabbert is no where near the best player @ #3, how in the world can you make this projection? :unsure:

    on the money

    :beer:

    Sigh.....I know. Just frustrates the crap out of me. I really hope we have a good draft and maybe get at least 1 top notch FA. I like Nix but what kills me about him is he says, correctly, that you build through the draft. But you can't JUST build through the draft. I don't think they will go after any FA's that are high salary guys and that's what really bothers me. Less risk in proven players

    Besides Ngata, (which the ravens will wrap him up!!!) what great FA's are even going to be out there to grab?
