karl malones other son Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Im supposing it was out of frustration. I will ask this though; Did the Andre Reed tweet force the Vikes to draft Ponder? I think it may've. And if it did, its twice in a row (Jim Kelly/Tebow) that a team reached (IMO) on a QB based on reported interest from the Bills.

Do you also expect us to find the next greatest TE of all time, a superior OL and a 2000 yard RB to go along with the greatest D of this generation? Yeah...thats much easier than just finding a better QB...LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Its not exactly a big secret that the Bills were looking for a QB. No one in the league was surprised by that comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the greatest TE in NFL history, a beast of an OL with a bruising 2000 yard RB. Trent barely got there with all of that plus one of the nastiest defenses in history... Its is VASTLY more difficult to try and win the SB by building a great D and ignoring your below average QB. Not to mention, to it takes one man to play QB, so you only have to be right about a single player...it takes many good to great players to make a great D making it much more difficult to not only build that D, but to keep it in tact as you build it in this era of free agency.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Who doesn't want a franchise QB? Maybe there wasn't one worth drafting? I want a new Lamborghini but I can't find one for $20,000. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty obvious at the time. but there was NOTHING to gain from it. so why do it? keep it private if you are sending your gm on the scouting trails in search of a qb to draft in 2011. a lot to lose by tipping your hand, absolutely nothing to gain.

Agree but nothing to lose either. To me it wasn't a big deal. Every team in the league knew we needed a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
