All QBs have limitations. I too like Alex. I think he is at least a 50% better QB than Hotrod. Seems like a perfect fit for Rico's dink 'n dunk attack. He is accurate. I would support replacing Hotrod with Alex. Good thing too would he Couldn't wear that jinxed Bills #11. Drop Zone's got it locked up.

How so? We were 9-7 this year, made the playoffs and were a TD away from advancing. We still have all that cap space and a bunch of draft picks. I'm thinking we win 10 next year MeV n if Rico stays. REX Did pretty much the same. His first year his D stunk up the joint. He kept his coordinator and hired his ineffective brother go "help". I'm kind of torn on this. Our O underperformed no doubt. Perhaps a year of continuity may Improve things. Not sure.

Roman's offense was top 10 in scoring. The point of an offense is to score points, not put up gaudy pass stats. I guess it just depends on what the definition of success is. If you think winning the SB and leading the league in passing, then maybe not. I would argue that playing QB for a team that hasnt been to the playoffs in 17 years with only 2 winning seasons in that time and getting them to playoffs is successful. By all means,let's find someone batter though.

Sorry, didn't see any false facts, only differing opinions. You said I misstated facts. I'll give you the 5th round thing. You said I've been " throwing around data left and right and it has been wrong". Please embarrass me next time I toss out a false fact. I'm a big boy. I can take it.

Pretty much what I saw too.

Like what for example?

Go ahead and embarrass me. Since I'm not a TRUE fan, i can take if. Does this make me a FALSE fan?

Roman's I'm thinking Mike McCoy could come up with one like he did for Tebow. Think outside of the box

Thanks for clearing that up Yolo. I need to keep up better next guess. I still think its dumb though and the stats posted up thread Bares out why. Hopefully we can get another DT as good as him with that 5th round pick. Its a hole wee certainly need to address.

Dear aceman_16, Oops. I was going by this. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000868200/article/bills-trade-marcell-dareus-to-jaguars-for-draft-pick Please pardon my mistake. Yous truly, Mr. Agenda

I see your point. I also agree with you that we need better QB play. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I don't want to crown Hotrod the 2018 opening day starter. But I DO want to keep him on the team in case of injury or if we can't find someone better (which is a very real possibility). This is not like moving on from EJ or Trent. We're moving on from a p!ayoff QB this time. One more thing, how many games do you think Kirk Cousins won this year when his D got no turnovers?

I explained why I don't want to out and out dump Hotrod despite his limitations. We've done that twice before when we had QBs that could help get us to 9+ wins and had disastrous consequences. That's my point. If you feel different that's fine. Relax pal. How was I attacking fans? The FO released these guys. It's nice that Hotrod has only won 2 games without a turnover. Again, i don't think it's a big deal. Your do. Fine. Sorry I was pissy. Didn't know that was a problem on TBD. Just seems to me everytime we get close, we shoot ourselves in the foot QB wise. I don't wanna do that again, that's all.

Well, at least we got out 6th round pick! Most moronic of all the Coach McDermott moronic trades imho.

How exactly did he provd that he will never be? Can you predict the future too? I don't really care about the answer to your question really. I expect the Bills to have an even better D next year so it's a nit. I know yall think I LOVE me some Hotrod. I do like him, true. But here's my thing. I've been a Bills fan since 1996 and seen us in a very similar spot 3 times before. 2000 - We had Flutie who had taken us to playoffs 2 out of last 3 years. Yet we were so certain that the 6' 3"" young stallion Rob Johnson was going win us multiple Lombardis so we dumped the playoff QB. We didn't have another winning season for 4 years. 2004 - We had Blue Dreadslow and went 9-7. We won 8 out of last 10. The team had some serious mojo workin'. But we hated Blue and had this 1st round draft pick we HAD to get in to take us all the way. We cut Blue. JP sucked. We didn't have another winning season for 10 years. 2014 - Bills go 9-7 again. Kyle quit, but fans here were ready to dump him for who knows what? 2 more years without a winning season. Now fans want to do the same. Hotrod has limitations no doubt. You won't get an argument from me on that. I just don't want us to dump a playoff QB (although limited) for a possible maybe. If we can get Smith or Keenum and draft a QB, fine. But there is no guarantee that we'll get a QB as good as Hotrod (although limited). Contrary to popular belief, we can always do worse. I'm just a bird in hand guy. Evidently, you're not. That's OK too.

Why does this matter? A win is not a win if the D does it's job too? We have an opportunistic D. Is that a bad thing? Would it better if they didn't get those "lucky" turnovers? Figures it was Rex' 'teams that didn't get a turnover. We can never have a good QB unless we have a bad D? does that make any kind of sense? To you I guess it does Does the Defense have any impact on this too, or is it only the QB?

Someone is talking out of their A$$.

So you still don't know? Get back to us when you do.

Look it up yourself. Google is your friend.

This kills me. I would think ending the 17 year longest in professional sports drought would be seen as a HUGE accomplishment. High fives around. But around here, yall just want to B word about it. I don't like the way it ended, but it really was a great year for the Bills and their players, coaches, and fans. Complainers gonna complain I guess.

This reminds me of something my boss used to say. "There's lies. There's damn lies, and then there's statistics." As far as the 19 consecutive thing, this is a little cherry picked and misleading. Take the Buccaneers win at home earlier this year. True we were ahead entering the 4th (your criteria) at 17-13. Bills kicked a FG to go up 20-13. Then Buccaneers scored 14 unanswered points (we win because of our defense). We're now down in the 4th by 27-20. What does Hotrod do? He gets US 10 unanswered points. So even though it doesn't count in your stats it sure as heck is a comeback. Lets go to the Panthers game. We're down 9-3 with less than :30 to play. He hits Drop Zone in the hands on the goal line. I give him an asterisk for this come back like I did for Fitz and the Pittsburgh SJ drop. Now as far as the last 7 games go, yeah playoff game was bad. But the Jags have held 7 teams to less than 10 in 2017. Of those last 6 games of the regular season where we WON 4, 2 were against the Patsies**. Hotrod had a TD stolen in the 4th by the instant replay refs in the second one. Colts game he didn't play in. After 4, we were ahead 16-10 vs Cheaps. 1st Fish game we were ahead 24-6. 2nd Fish game we were ahead 19-3. Did Hotrod have anything to do with that? We all know Coach McDermott loves to sit on a lead. So it's not surprising we weren't going up and down the field scoring a lot of points. So in those 6 games, 2 were vs Patsies**, 3 we were ahead going into 4th so Rico and Coach McDermott sat on the football, and 1 he didn't even play. Add to that he had 1 comeback and one asterisk comeback this year. Stats are great, but often do not tell the whole story as is the case here. Bottom line: We won 4 out of the last 6 down the stretch to secure a playoff game and you're bitching because he doesn't pass for more yards. OK. Just give me the wins.

My man! I thought I was the only one on here that thought this.

I didn't see AJ McCarron's name on the list. I'd make a strong run at him, especially if he wins and is a FA. They were willing to trade him to Clowns ...

This is the strategy Marrone used. get an injury riddled vet who won't last more than 6 game. Then put in the rookie . Personally I have no desire for Bradford. Serious question: is Bradford for half a season for the more money really any better than Hotrod? We pay 8 mil to cut Hotrod and sign Bradford for 9, in fact he is more expensive. I seriously question if we would be in a better place if we did that.

Are you saying the things on your list had no impact? Double Agreed.

The trivialization of the WR position by the Bills and TBD is mind boggling to me. We have next to no talent there. Look at teams that have good QBs and who thier WRs are. Dalton has Sanuand AJ Green. Bill bellyache traded a #1 pick for a WR and he had Tom freakin' Brady ad his QB. It's the second most important position after QB. If we get some fancy passing QB, we need to majorly upgrade the unit. I thought when we had Watkins, Woods, Harvin, Hogan, and Goodwin we had figured it out. Now we are back to Coach Gailey era WRs. Hopefully with all these picks and cap room we can get some good WRs back in town. We also need a real one two punch back up RB. This team is sorely LAcking on offensive talent imho
