Nick in RaChaCha Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/simmons/index At about the 23 minute mark Lombardi says there is serious buzz that the Bills had been targeting Tebow at #41 but no longer believe he'll still be around that late and are now giving serious consideration to using the #9 pick on him. It is all lies and bullcrap between now and the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANCOCK Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 if they want him, pick him. just cause some analysis dude on some TV station or radio show says that Tebow is a 3rd round talent. doesnt make tebow a 3rd round talent. if the bills pick him in the first round thats their pick..

Kingfish Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 It is all lies and bullcrap between now and the draft. I don't know. Something tells me Gailey has fallen head over heels for Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Where would he be hearing that buzz? I don't buy it for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Is it significant that timtebow is receiving approximately $93M less after a stellar college career than Lebron James got coming out of HS? Does Nike dole out contracts based on expected earning potential? I'm not sure what that has to do with Danny Wuerffel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKillerRobots Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I don't know. Something tells me Gailey has fallen head over heels for Tebow. If that's the case, I'd hope he'd have a real good idea how to use him this season effectively while also grooming him for the starting job. That's a hell of a gamble for the new FO as a first pick. It might be boom or bust as far as their credibility as FO is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy in 4C Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 It is all lies and bullcrap between now and the draft. Let's hope so. If the league considers us a joke now I can't imagine the negative publicity if we took him at #9. However, I think the fans would get over it quick because of the man-crush factor, Kelly/Nix/Gailey signing off and the hype of a potential franchise QB.

jcbuck3 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 A first round pick on guy that will not be ready for at least a year and may have switch positions to be effective in the NFL? We would never do that. No way. Not for a second. Uh-oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Nole Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I have alot of faith in Buddy -- but Tebow and #9 would be hard for me to stomach -- especially after last year's first round debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we pick Tebow I'm expecting some initial groans by a faction of fans but I'm sure once he steps foot in Buffalo and says all the right things Tebowmania is going to spread like wildfire.

Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I wouldn't have a problem with it if they were able to trade down, grab another 2nd or 3rd and use every other pick on OL, DL or OLB. That would still give us 7 new faces in the trenches with 2 or 3 possibly being starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm not sure what that has to do with Danny Wuerffel. I'm just asking. Tebow got 300K from Nike. James got upwards of 90M. Why the disparity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Be prepared Buffalo...if Okung, Bulaga and Williams are gone...its going to happen. Nah. I've convinced myself that if he's there at 41 he's ours. I cannot see it happening at 9. Nobody would draft him at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gailey and Nix are convinced that Tebow is a franchise QB, and that he won't be around at 41 and they are unable to trade down then I absolutely could see them taking him at #9.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If Gailey and Nix are convinced that Tebow is a franchise QB, and that he won't be around at 41 and they are unable to trade down then I absolutely could see them taking him at #9. That would be one dumb*** decision IMO. Anyone who's "convinced" that he'll be a franchise NFL QB is fooling themselves. The only thing anyone should be convinced of is that Tebow will work his butt off to try. He has a lot to overcome, but 100% effort will be there on his part. Any sensible "football guy" knows he's a roll of the dice that simply doesn't merit a top ten draft choice. I think drafting him anywhere in the top two rounds is a reach. Could it pay off? Sure, but why gamble that big on a team with so many damn needs. This particular draft class is deep with talented players that can address some of those immediate needs? It just doesn't make any damn sense at all to me. Hopefully the new tandem of Buddy and Chan realize this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
