ExWNYer Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Bowe has reportedly expressed his unhappiness with Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports. Cole says that one team could be Miami, but I am hearing that Buffalo will definitely look at him if he is available for trade. It could be what saves Chan. http://nomorelinks....ded-to-buffalo/ Why is Bowe unhappy with Jason Cole? Did Cole write something bad about him? Do we even have the cap space to sign Bowe long term? CBF I'd rather resign Levitre and Byrd, then look at upgrades elsewhere. Those aren2 guys we can't afford to lose. I know we need an upgrade at WR, but that WR will be next to useless with our current QB. This. Not only will Bowe cost big dollars to retain, he'll cost draft picks &/or players to obtain. On top of that, it likely means that one or both of Byrd & Levitre are gone. I'd like to have Bowe but if it's at the expense of Byrd &/or Levitre, I say no thanks. How about we trade Fred Jackson for Bowe? Now that is a fair trade. I'd rather much do that then to trade a potential valuable pick. If we can pull this off then we can attempt to trade picks for a higher pick in order to get that future QB. How about we stop with another asinine "trade Fred" proposal? Teams don't go with just one good RB. What if Spiller gets hurt again...who's running the ball? Choice? Please. And why would KC trade their best WR for another RB when they already have Jamaal Charles, Peyton Hills and a young Shaun Draughn? How does that help THEM?? Hardly "a fair trade". Ground up in the freezer. Belinda. On a plane out of Buffalo. He's at Tempo. He checked out of the hotel. And the messengers have been shot. Did I miss anything in this thread? 'Retard Rodeo' 'It's hard to win trade in the NFL' It's like people keep repeating the same things over and over. Recapitulating, even! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 hmm.. you dont think the bills are drafting a QB in round 1? Well you never know, but one knowing Nix he is sold on Fitz and two the "top" QBs aren't the greatest. Patterson is a big explosive WR who can make big plays in the passing game and scores TDs on special teams, people talk about Hunter but Patterson is the real deal. We'll get our QB next year.

Alphadawg7 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Ok, so I dont feel like reading 11 pages...can someone just tell me if there is any real substance here? Has there been any confirmed talks with the Chiefs for Bowe (another WR who will waste their career in Buffalo until we get a real QB...see Moulds, Evans, and Johnson) or are people in the media and on here just speculating that the Bills are interested because of Chans history with KC? So far this feels like speculation or fodder, but curious if there was anything of substance that has come up. I mean is Bowe even being shopped? Do we even know that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Anyways Alpha, it appears to be mostly speculation without much basis.

This captures it pretty nicely: http://www.thephinsi...ith-kansas-city Thanks for the 411 SJBF, that is about what I figured, which is why I had not really paid too much attention to it. Then when I saw this was 11 pages, I thought maybe there was more to it, but it appears its about what I thought. No denying our interest would make sense given our need for another proven WR and Gaileys KC connection, but honestly, not sure it would do any good considering our issues at QB and the fact he would be joining us mid season. Seems this would be a move that would make more sense in the off season and hopefully after we acquire an upgrade at QB either through trade/FA or the draft (most likely the draft). I would not be upset at acquiring him, but this just feels like it will never be more than speculation until at least the off season. Not to mention, he upset with that offense in KC...I really do not see how catching passes from Fitzmisseveryone is going to make him any happier.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Great point. If we could come up with a top talent at QB, then getting Bowe during the offseason would be a nice complimentary move. I wonder what the free agent WR class is looking like this year. Last year it was Meachem, Laurent Robinson, and Pierre Garcon. Not terribly impressive at the time and even less so after 6 weeks of the season.

NoSaint Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The more I think about it, the more i'm MEHHHHH..... If you already can't hit the open receivers you have, why spend more money on a guy you can't hit when open either. Because he catches poorly thrown balls well too?

Damond Talbot Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 I would love to see a rookie qb come into a system with CJ, Freddie, Stevie, Chandler, Bowe and Graham with the same O Line we started with minus Pears.

Sisyphean Bills Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I don't get Bowe's thinking. Why go from a bad team with suspect QB play to another team with suspect QB play to be with a coach that is in a lame duck season and on the hot seat? Maybe he just can't stand Kansas City and doesn't care so long as he gets out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 without a qb all of these trades are just redundant. Maybe putting Jackson in over the bye and getting bowe would be a good idea but realistically what is a player coming in halfway through the season going to do when we dont have a qb capable of getting him the ball? I just think its an awful idea. Almost sad to think how good our offense could be with him, stevie, chandler, spiller, and jackson were it not for shitspatrick. If Fitz were Kurt Warner it would be greatest show on turf all over again. The brain trust at OBD must know how close they are on that side of the ball. A penny for their thoughts.

That would be nasty I think Stevie, Spiller, and Freddy are excellent weapons and our offensive line is excellent. If nothing else, the Bills have created a pretty nice context in which to drop a quarterback. All the offense is really missing besides QB is a legit wideout opposite Stevie (I'm not talking slot guy). Yeah Me. You're not alone. I think a better trade might be for Matt Flynn. LOL.

purple haze Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) We don`t have a W.R. problem,we have a QB problem. This would be a useless move. No it wouldn't. Any time a team can add talent, at a reasonable price, they should do it. Bowe is a better WR than anyone on the Bills not named Stevie Johnson (and I love Nelson and like Jones and T.J.) and he's as good as Stevie. You add talent constantly. QB will be addressed. Doesn't preclude them from getting Bowe now. Fitz won't always be the QB. And if he doesn't pick it up he won't be the QB once the new league year starts in March. More talent allows more options going forward. Edited October 20, 2012 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
