Long shot. If that's the argument then you go with Andrew Luck...

Sooooo... Julio Jones?

You'd be the worst GM in NFL history. I've seen Aaron RODGERS spelled wrong way too much on here...

Well the "cherry picked draft" information is more about who the Falcons would've picked. They liked Demarco Murray and likely would've taken him instead of Little. Taylor wouldn't have fit so they would've likely chosen someone else or traded down. Julius Thomas may have been selected as a successor to TG. And maybe one of those o-linemen could've helped them fix their terrible o-line. We'll see on the Bills trade. I'm not against it because it's done and over with and we got a hell of a player out of it.

This is just laziness based on not knowing. Just because you don't know anything about next year's draft doesn't mean there aren't top-tier QBs available. The year RGIII came out he was a third-round pick who many thought would have to switch positions (not me as I correctly predicted he would win the Heisman and be a high pick). Marcus Mariota is arguably already better than Winston. Then there is Brett Hundley, Bryce Petty and a few more potential first-round picks. The notion that there is no chance that the team would consider a QB high in the 2015 draft is laughable. If EJ gets hurt multiple times (or once major) this year or just plays terrible then they'll look at other options. You don't sit around and wait in this league anymore.

Still stand by Manning. You go with whoever gives you the best chance to actually win, not whoever gives you the best chance to potentially win in the future. If I'm starting a franchise out with nothing else then I go with Andrew Luck. Russell Wilson shouldn't be in the conversation. He's solid but not great. His running game and defense won that championship.

One thing you have to consider is the coaching situation. Also, with Brady, what reason do we have to believe that he would play at the same level without Hoodie and New England? Matt Cassel looked like a superstar in that offense. I won't deny that he's one of the best ever, but I think some would change their mind if he left.

It doesn't matter. If you win one Super Bowl then all else is irrelevant for the time being. This franchise has never won. You take the guy that gives you the best shot to do it right now.

Peyton Manning. He makes every team he plays for a contender. With this running game and defense we might be the favorites. No other QB does that for you.

Honestly, when have we had this type of talent at WR? Pure talent-wise, he may be the best we've ever had...

I don't think it's fair to judge draft trades based on what the team acquiring the picks do with them, but based on what the team that traded up would have likely done with those picks. So it'd be better to look at the players picked at or just behind the selections traded away and see what the team needs were at the time. Could the Falcons have addressed the terrible offensive and defensive lines with those picks they traded away? That'd be interesting to see. So in a few years if we look back and say "Watkins is fantastic, but man he needs a good QB" and the first rounder next year ends up being at 10 while a QB who stars at the NFL level goes 11-13 then you might say we lost because we missed a chance to address the real need. However, the hope is that the team doesn't have such a glaring need next year.

I see just about nobody here knows a lick about Pollock. He's a good guy and Western New York's best writer. He doesn't write for page-clicks or number of readers. He doesn't give a ****. He gets a lot of inside info but never jumps to share it because he doesn't care about being first (for example, he knew about Lee Evans' extension for almost a week before anybody reported it but never said anything. He told me about it and then a week later I saw it on ESPN).

Judging by the voice in the video, this guy is only good because he sold his soul to the devil...

I still want to know what happened to that secretary...

Did that today when I got bored. Not the best photoshop in the world, but I figured I would share anyways.

Sammy already hurt? @JaySkurski: Day 2 of #Bills rookie minicamp. Receivers going through 1-on-1 drills against DBs. Sammy Watkins sitting out, huddling with Nate Hackett.

There's an entire thread dedicated to the idea...

Bryce Brown and Tom Crabtree are two completely different situations.

Cleveland, Tampa and Minnesota would've probably all considered it as well as trade up chances. If you like a QB as your franchise guy you don't !@#$ around. You take him. ... Unless it's a guy like EJ Manuel that you KNOW isn't going before you trade down. Bortles was a possible pick for other teams.

No.

Well I'm going in with very low expectations, mind you. I would take 7 wins if it meant he quarterbacked all of those games and played at a reasonable level. However, I would expect us to win 8-10 if he actually does that.

Agreed except Bryce Brown wasn't traded for any of this year's picks, and we won't be feared until we have a QB who can play at an NFL level. We'll see if EJ can do that.

You dug up a video from a year ago about a guy who hadn't been on an NFL roster yet to prove what, again?

No. I didn't have to think about it for a second. At all. They have Vincent Jackson and Doug Martin, two of the top player at their position... About your point on Glennon: I absolutely love Glennon and think he'll be a star QB someday given the chance. He'll be the best QB out of his class, again, if given a chance. Hopefully Manuel can have something to say about that.

The stats comparison of Stevie and Mike Williams is pretty interesting. They're different types of wide receivers, but they're close considering Stevie was clearly the number one target while Mike wasn't. Stevie Johnson: 526 targets, 289 receptions, 3,720 yards, 26 TDs, 12.9 YPC in 60 games (4.8 receptions, 62 yards, 0.4 TDs per game) Caught 55% of his targets, 7.1 yards per target, 0.05 TDs per target Starting QBs: Ryan Fitzpatrick (45 games), EJ Manuel (9 games), Thad Lewis (2 games), Trent Edwards (2 games), Brian Brohm (1 game) Mike Williams: 418 targets, 215 receptions, 2,947 yards, 25 TDs, 13.7 YPC in 54 games (4 receptions, 54.6 yards, 0.5 TDs per game) Caught 51% of targets, 7.1 yards per target, 0.06 TDs per target Starting QBs: Josh Freeman (40 games), Mike Glennon (3 games), Josh Johnson (1) The one stat I can't find a good number on is drops. Stevie had 7 this year and 11 in 2012. Mike Williams had 1 this year (in 6 games) and less than 7 in 2012 (exact number not sure). Chances are Stevie has many more drops.
