Man I don't know Bandit, original thought on this board is a bit of a unicorn... We do have a crap ton on the speculative thought side though....
Point blank, this is obv OT but is it bc the other board was shut? There was some good stuff on occasion there but this was far and away more informative and a better read. I'm not straight up blaming the influx as why the change has happened bc I don't know... but was it that? Was making the playoffs marking an up tick of people who wanted to discuss the team? Did board rules become less stringent where these posts wld just be merged before? It's not fair to say what it is when I don't know myself but the some or depending on time of year, most, of the posts act like it's a new discussion or an arm chair pov that hasn't had any research prior to posting are mind boggling. Its not fair also to lump all transplants in that group, but it was such an influx that i think it tends to. Many have brought great game with them and shoukd be/are respected.As I maintain, there is great stuff and great posts but now it needs to be sifted through. There didnt seem to be as much stuff that you are shocked someone actually attaches their name to.

Would it not been easier to just say... "I don't like this hire" versus rehash it MONTHS later in a passive aggressive undertone?
Ps: His answer should be - " Tell me who my QB is and I will tell you my limitations!"
Think about how much time went into writing it, and then how much time was taken up by all the people who read it. Damn shame, that time could have been spent arguing if it's smart to trade up or what FA qb is the best? Heck, it could have even been spent debating if our punter lost us the JAX game!!

Really? No it did not fly over my head. At the point you have at least a dozen examples of this bs on the main board, I stick by my initial assessment of idiotic.
Right, but when the thread is self aware it's at least different. Its the posts like this that are serious that scare/amaze me

We know Sabans formula for winning football games is running the ball well and good D. (conservative approach)
Very much the same way McD wants to win football games.
McCarron fits the Bill...
I see what you did there....and I like it!!

Another idiotic thread.
Yes, see, but it's funny bc that's the idea.
You see, this is a form of mockery.
The irony of starting a crappy thread making fun of crappy threads is funny to those annoyed by said crappy threads.
Thank God for humor-am I right??

I find it funny after reading the Foles thread my 1st thought was the Foles for tre and a pick and how thatd lessen the blow if them trading white:)

That's just your opinion
Which, around here seems to be always right and pretty much the same thing as facts!

I just don't understand how it can even be argued any other way. Now that Tyrod is gone, the #1 argument is they have SO MANY HOLES to fill and trading away the picks don't allow for them to be filled.
But the opposite is..... getting a FA guy drafting to fill holes... and then rather than filling holes w next yrs 90 mill in cap space - THEN we go try and buy a QB? Seems a little all too familiar.
IF you love a guy, go get him. Let him learn this yr and go fill holes next year. Maybe it just makes too much sense... Maybe people are afraid of change? Either way, this argument scares the heck outta me...

Sorry, I forgot to provide all the info that the Colts are at 3 and the obligatory option B of trading for luck. My bad

After looking at this article I see names of guys I was rooting for the bills to draft. Its amazing how many of these guys flamed out. It even more amazing how many first rounders flame out. The reason I bring this up is there are potentially 5 guys in this draft that could make it big. If you look though history it seems the only consistence is the first quarterback taken off the board usually pans out. After that it seems to be a crap shoot. So should we sell off multiple picks for for 1 crap shoot? I really don't think there are any ways to tell which of these guys are going to be a franchise QB. After looking at this article do you still feel the same about moving up in the draft?
Good read, thanks!

He must read TBD
Man, I wish Sal posted here. Seems like a great guy who gets it. Not that he's always right or anything but I always seem to dig or agree w where his head is at. This is no exception.
Thanks for the post Yolo!

Its pretty clear there are two factions here in regard to how the draft is run.
This has been established and discussed and will continue to be....
Yay

How can it not? I can't think of any qb we can sign in free agency or draft that could be automatically the starter.
Bc we don't know what the field is yet.... unless this is just an exercise and another tell everyone who you want their qb to be thread- how can anyone make a pick/argument when no one can see their actual choices???
-
Good grief! Can we draft a guy 1st? How can this be answered before then?
-
Thread is like a bad movie. It starts out ok and you think they might be on to something and it will hold your attention.... only to have the ending be bad and confusing which makes it a complete waste of time.

The issue isn't really if the fans want Foles, Rosen or whomever. It's the draft, FA and trades. All have a price to pay , opportunity cost possibilities etc. it really comes down to what does the Bills FO value most, who do they believe in or not, and what is the path they choose to get the franchise to the promised land? I think there are a few different ways they could go, but no idea what way they will ultimately decide is right.
1000000% agree. Hit the nail on it's proverbial head

Uuhhh, what?
Who cares? He's not a member of this team any more and accordingly is no longer their problem.

There are plenty of QB's to get that add upside to Taylor and won't cost everything. I would rather give up a 1st and 4th rounder to Eagles then all our picks to get 1st pick and our choice of QB. Foles will lead you to playoffs were that is not a guarantee with any QB in this draft. If the Bills are a playoff team next year Foles can do the job, proven that already. This is the smart choice. If Buffalo wants to keep all it's picks then get McCarron, Bridgewater, McCown and draft Jackson or Baker 10-21, move up if needed but not to top 4.
Yeah, EJ, Losman could play too but winning is another question.
Could they though? One was a trade up to get in the party and the other was essentially bc they decided they needed to draft a qb. When you can trade down and still get the 1st qb off the board it's not exactly awe inspiring. Kirby summed it up pretty well w his thoughts imo

it does seem VERY organized and easy to read.
All of which has been discussed, but it still amazes me how many are against this now that Tyord has departed.
To me, it seems simple. People arguing that they cant give it all away bc of all the holes.... just flip it.
Say you stand pat and 'fill holes'
Next year when/if you have 90+ mill (when and how holes should be filled IMO) you cant go 'buy' a FQB with all that $$ and are still where we have been for the last umpteen years of trying to build a decent roster w/o/the FQB.
I think it even offers a bit of a saftey net if they trade it all away and he busts.
To each their own... but for those who argue dont trade up bc of holes..... i wonder if they are familiar w/the cap projections going forward
