1billsfan Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) 1. I was reading a Carolina forum and I get the distinct feeling that the skids are being greased for Cam Newton. 2. There's almost a 100% chance that the Broncos will select Dareus. This is a very hard decision. For me, I'm picking from the group of Fairley, Quinn, Peterson, Miller, Green and Jones. These are true "impact" type guys. My gut feeling is that Quinn is going to be a star at the next level, he's a passionate football player, he has his head on straight, and he helps us in both the run and pass defense. I know his bust factor is higher than Peterson's and Green's, but I have to go with my gut for this pick, Robert Quinn. Who do you pick (doesn't have to be from my group) if those two are gone?...

H2o Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thought Fairley said he did not want to have to play in a cold weather city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thought Fairley said he did not want to have to play in a cold weather city? He did. That, and he doesn't want to play for a team that has tangerine in it's uniform. Who cares what HE wants. Go get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 In that scenario I'd be fine with Fairley, Peterson, or Green. In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So get a prima donna who is already saying these types of things before he gets to the NFL? No thanks, I'll take Bowers(if his knee checks out)or Quinn.

Hplarrm Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 If this happened, I would then hope a team like Cincy which has a high pick and is thinking QB might then be willing to switch with us in exchange for the extra picks to get Gabbert.

No thanks, I'll take Bowers(if his knee checks out)or Quinn. I remember a certain QB who was saying these types of things before he got to the NFL. He seemed to acclimate (pun intended) to Buffalo just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know who else didn't want to play for the Bills? Jim Kelly. Worked out pretty good for all parties involved in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canbuffan34 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thought Fairley said he did not want to have to play in a cold weather city? Yeah! and Jim Kelly said that he cried when he was drafted by Buffalo, how did that turn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, I'll take Bowers(if his knee checks out)or Quinn. He came right out afterwards and claimed he was just joking. Fairley doesn't seem like a prima donna at all, rather a good kid who happens to play the game with one hell of a mean streak. He's the best player in the draft, way better than Dareus IMO and he would be an absolute steal at #3. Here's the video of him saying he doesn't want to play in the cold (minute 4). As you can see, it shouldn't have been made into the big deal it was: http://wkrg.com/a/1204035 Edited March 26, 2011 by Stl Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he has real maturity issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he has real maturity issues. You make it sound like he is falling out of the first round. He won't get past the top 5 and could still easily go in the top 3. I don't consider that falling. And how the hell do you know what anybody's board looks like? Its all smoke and mirrors at this point, nobody is going to tip their hand to another team.

Bangarang Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I'm not down for Quinn with the third pick, but he's going to be a much better pro than Miller. It's Orakpo/Maybin all over again. Sorry, but that's a ridiculous statement. Edited March 26, 2011 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnutinphoenix Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think Bills will take Gabbert or Von Miller....Von isn't my favorite choice but just a feeling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Fairley isn't being courted by 3-4 teams, because he does not have the size. The Bills aren't bringing him for a visit. I'd love to trade down with someone looking at Gabbert, and then take Cameron Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
