I have never claimed Mettenburger to be a budding franchise guy. I've actually said the opposite. Carry on with your personal attacks and bastardization of arguments. Eager to hear that it's no one's fault if a great QB emerges, and that it's the fans' fault that our QBs suck. When your stance is, "guys that have played great in college and gotten drafted are somehow worse than undrafted nobodies," you're already wrong.

Figuratively today. Meant it in more of a "knowing how it all turned it out" sorta way. I thought EJ and TJ Graham had good OTA's. Let's just say, I'm not holding my breath for EJ to look "pretty good" in practice.

Nah, chemistry/game experience/worked on his stuff all summer. He was supposed to look at least the same in practice, not worse.

Of course not. Today.

Is that why we were editing the practice film like a Britt McHenry video last year?

I wonder if one of these mid to late round draft pick QB's became All-Pros, would we hear the "no one thought they'd be that good" argument from some of the same folks?

Yes but Aaron Murray isn't franchise yet, so you're wrong.

Did you read my post? Or in your haste to defend EJ's honor, you skimmed?

Traded two late rounders and took on his salary. Which, IIRC, is more than Mariota's.

So trading for Cassel says nothing about our QB situation, but picking the #2 Heisman winning QB in a notoriously weak draft means that Mettenburger sucks and will always suck. Got it.

That they like Mariota over Mettenburger? What does trading for Matt Cassel tell you? Probably nothing, right?

So what are you arguing exactly? Mettenburger after six games isn't a HoFer, thus, we didn't make any mistake not drafting him?

And if Mettenburger/Murray/anyone in 2014 has some success? Does that mean we whiffed on one?

DGB.

YES. Using arbitrary variables, if the Packers have Petty as the BPA in the second round, but someone close at DT, who do you think they are taking?

That analogy would work better if the dollar crashed and would be next to worthless the next year. Which top O-line guy is good this year? That the Bills could've picked. Tell me. The amount of backtracking here is insane. I haven't heard one 2015 1st round prospect worth it yet.

So a TE would've also sucked. And an O-lineman. Who care if our QB has time to throw if he sucks. That tears it, don't draft any more offensive players until they prove they're good.

what else was a priority?

Curtains for EJ if we draft another.

The two obvious options close to Sammy were Evans and Bekham Jr. (but, if it was up to me, I would have grabbed Mosley and waited until 2nd or 3rd round for the WR) Watkins was still clearly better. Evans had the huge body. He was the only one close. Why would you draft another high round LB? Would you have lamb basted the fact we drafted Mosley if Preston Brown was nasty on some other team? You are campaigning to ignore the QB position as well. A LB in the first over Bridgewater and Carr? Big difference between using a 1st rd pick on OL, LB or WR and using 2 1st Rd picks, that's the issue. You limit your ability this year to use that asset to acquire a QB. As for Bills making QB a priority, including this year's draft, we would have selected ONE QB in the 1st or 2nd round in the past 11 drafts !!! ONE. That is ignoring the most important position. Don't give me signing 10 QB's; Kolb ? Orton ? Fitz ? come on, this is the most important position in team sports and we used ONE 1st or 2nd round pick on it over the past 11 drafts !!! that's insane. And you wanted to continue the status quo by drafting Mosley. You're saying its 2 vs 1, but in reality, you didn't want a QB with the 2014 pick anyway. Don't you see your own contradiction? I'd take Bradford in a nano-second, I would have traded this year's 1st (19th), next year's 1st and a young player to get him. He is legit. His only issue is staying healthy. I'm not as high on Foles, but both are better prospects than any QB we've had on our roster in the past decade. Okay. Would the Rams have accepted that trade? Who knows. If Cassell plays like a Top 16 QB, we will make playoffs and be competitive once we are in them. Bradford is much better QB than Cassell, it's not even close. We shall see.

Objectivity = Whaley ruined my Thursday night.

Hehehehehe.

We traded back in 2013. And there are worst things than "overreaching" for a perennial ProBowler.

Gotta be faster than that John.
