billsfreak Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Its a no brainer to me, if you can get McNabb without giving up too much-YOU DO IT!!! Was just watching Sportcenter and Andy Reid just said they are now entertaining trade offers for their 3 QB'S. Which is the first time the Eagles have come out and said this So what do the rest of the Bills fans think? Yes, without question. I am so frickin tired of losing and this losing organization it isn't funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_soulja Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I say grab Vick...D Mac is better, but if you THINK the eagles will move him for anything less than a second, you're smoking...and if it is a second rounder it better come with more picks to...you could brink in Vick for less and still get the OT, NT, and edge pass rusher we need...

jj____ Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have heard on the tv and NFL radio that the talk is about a second rounder for him. Get an OT in the first round and McNabb for a second rounder and we would have a significantly improved offense. Interesting possibility. He is 33 and should have significant years left, despite a pretty serious series of injuries. I'm ambivalent, but leaning a little more toward the idea of going for it. and there it is. this dude knows what hes talking about. we're not going to get bradford or clausen so that leaves us with the obvious choice of grabbing an ot in the first. give the eagles a second this year or next year for mcnabb. we can still get a young guy in next years draft or even the year after. you know who else got injured alot? steve young. i'll trade a second any day for steve young or mcnabb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 trading for McNabb would be a huge mistake for the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 No. He is a bandaid to a bigger problem. We need a young franchise QB. Not someone who will be out of the league in a few years. No offense intended, but that is B.S. He is much younger than Kurt Warner was when he went to the Cards, and they ended up in the Superbowl. The guy in 11 season, has never thrown close to as many interceptions as touchdowns. Last season he threw 22 TDs and only 10 picks, most of our QBs have it the other way around. He has been in what, 3 or 4 NFC Championship games and led his team (with their best offensive weapon out) to the Superbowl. He might not be Joe Montana, but would still be at his age, so much better than anyone that we have had since Jim Kelly retired. He has started all 16 games 4 times and at least 14 three other times, Kelly missed more games than that if I am not mistaken. I am not by any means dissing Kelly, he is my all-time favorite player, but McNabb has never come close to having the offensive weapons around him that Kelly had. How many teams over the past decade have went from pretty much last to first? Quite a few if I remember correctly. The days of building a franchise for 4or 5 seasons are long gone. Teams turn it around in a year or two, and other like us just stay bad year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 and 33 isn't all that old. Warner is 39, Collins 35, Farvre, Garcia et al. It is so hard to know when a qb is no longer in his prime. McNabb might be good for up to 3 or 4 years. I'd take a chance on him as he needs no training and could improve this team from the get-go. In the interim we could evaluate and deal with the issue of whether TE or Fitz or the new guy are the guys for the future (I'm doubtful, but we'd have the chance to assess them) and to probably draft a qb from a much stronger draft year for qb's than this year. I'm leaning more and more toward this option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryCoke Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The writer of the article that started this whole thing just recently tweeted: McNabb released a statement to me a few minutes ago.

No, Jim Kelly didn't miss that many games...kelly played 160 of 176 or about 91% of his games....D Mac played 141 of 176 or about 81%....he's still better than anything we've seen in a long time though...

CountDorkula Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 The writer of the article that started this whole thing just recently tweeted: Link Usually players deny trade rumors if false. So this may have legs. He had to have been told about the possibility, or am i reading to far into that... Or is this going to far... Mcnabb's cover for being here two months ago was his nieces B'ball game, but really he was looking for a place to live and checking out the city...

Are you a real bills fan...? We just don't compare Jim Kelly to ANY quarterback. He is the quarterback of quarterbacks, the best who ever played the game, the guy of guys... Well...at least to us.

In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 They're saying on Sirius that this is a bad fit for the Bills----McNabb has been in a west-coast offense his entire career and Chan's offense is completely different. I didn't realize Chan had an offense. Meaning he tailors his scheme to the strengths of his players. What did they say was so different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOTONE Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Its all moot, he has a no trade clause I believe he would only do it on the basis that he would get a big extension. some thing like 4 yrs 28 mill, 15 guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I like a number of possible scenarios in this post. Trading down on one and giving a fourth sounds doable A third round pick would be terrific. A second round pick would be a stretch, but I'd be willing to go that far. I wonder if they are looking for a safety or other player where a trade and/or a very low round draft might work. 33 isn't that old, although he has been banged up a lot. His stats aren't bad, and if he's got two to three good years left, I'd say go for it as long as we can still address the o-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
