BRAWNDO Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) This newsflash out of Miami. The Bills will jump in front of the Fins to grab Tannehill if he gets by Cleveland. @LinderWQAM Reports out of Buffalo they are in on Tannehill and will trade up to get him. IF he gets by Cleveland, Bills will jump Fins. My link Are they in a state of panic in South Florida? I cannot see this happening.

poo Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Aren't these jokes supposed to be moderately funny too? Tannehill for the Bills is about as likey as us trading up to get Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 If we have him rated that high then so be it. I do doubt that they would make this move #1 might screw with team chemistry and #2 Buddy has gone on record saying he does not like to move to the top of the draft - you have to give up way too much to get up there. The 'skins gave away 3 first rounders to move to #2, we would have to move in front of Cleveland or pay the Browns/Bucs/Rams a king's ransom to move up if the Browns don't take him. Let the Phins worry, this way the don't take Floyd.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should edit your Title so more people see that we are trading up for Tannehill, you'd probably get 6 pages out of that.

No it says if he gets by Cleveland then we trade up, with say Carolina, which is just two picks up, and give them are first and second and we have our QB of the future!!!

NewEra Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 As it might seem like an april fools day joke to most, if the FO LOVES Tannehill, there's a chance it happens. I don't think it's likely to happen, but chan and nix, just like the rest of the nfl, know that a great Qb makes EVERYONES jobs a lot easier. It's the most Important position and if the FO thinks Tannehill is the man, he's worth trading up for. Right now, to the guys that think he's overrated, it's a terrible deal. If Tannehill becomes a star, those people would eat their words. I trust buddy. I think he's putting the franchise in a good position, so I would applaud the trade and hope he becomes our "guy". I'd love to see the reaction of the "Tannehill haters" if Tannehill goes to the fins and leads them to a title or more. I haven't seen him play enough to join either side, but of we select him, I'll be backing him up 110%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched 12 games and he rocks, thought he was good two years ago and liked him then and will be cool to see a guy I been watching for awhile come to this team.

jjmac Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm sure you guys all know that Buddy will not trade up because he values draft picks. However, that may change in the case of Olof Pilar...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 So when did Buddy Nix suddenly become stupid??? Why would he 'trade up' to draft a QB that'll still be there in round 4???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cocktosten Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Another D bag with a twitter account. Ain't happening. The Bills think they can win this year and they need this draft for depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquin1119 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 i wouldn't trade up at all. I say we draft an LT. Plus their always a QB to draft next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbelt City Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'd take him. There could be another QB controversy if Fitz went down, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I don't see this happening, BUT, you have to keep in mind what happened last year. I think teams (and we fans) were surprised at the run on QBs that went down...QBs with a later round grade were going in the first. You could argue that teams, including the Bills, are going to be making sure they don't miss out again this year if they have their minds set on drafting a QB.

mrags Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have no opinion of Tannenhill. I have never seen him okay a single down. I font know what he looks like (height, weight, body size, hair color, eye color, facial features). I don't even know what school he played for. But I do read many posts in this board and I font get all the love for the guy. I've managed to go this long as a non-college football watcher and have never seen a clip, heard of him in the media. The only reason I know he exists is because of TBD. I can't say the same for other QBs. Luck, RG3 this year. Locker, Ponder, Newton, Gabbert last year. I could go on and on year to year about this. I've heard of all these guys without watching college ball. I've seen many of them play, if not full games at least commercials with thier names blasted everywhere in the media. I haven't heard of RT at all, seen him at all. Is he overrated on this board or underrated to the rest of the world? Why on gods green earth would I draft, scratch that, move up in the draft to get him in the first when all outlets would think that's a major reach? Up until a few weeks ago people were saying if he's there in the 2nd you take him. Some were even saying the 3rd. Why? Why would I want this guy? Why would I trade away picks that are so important for a guy that is really a nobody? Please, anyone? Please excuse my lack of paragraphs, spelling, and proper use of periods and commas, I just woke up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Oh hell yeah, I'll be throwing party if that happens.

Hope Robert Cohen see's this so he can have a nuclear melt down And I'll be throwing up in my mouth. Tannehill is a career backup and sure as heck not worthy of us wasting a 1st, more or less trading up, to get him. Tannehill is another product of a weak QB class, other than the first two, that will cause teams to reach WAY TOO HIGH to get him. I hope we are well beyond that rationale. I call BS on this report.

I think that was more teams needed to have something to trot on the field than anything. Once teams started taking QBs, teams had to reach for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
