Buffalo 66 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The Bill's are 3-4 with only six teams with a worse record Cleveland Jacksonville Oakland Kansas City Detroit Carolina Carolina AND Detroit are set at QB that leaves Oakland, cleveland Jacksonville, and KC possibly looking at a QB in the first round! Cleveland and Jacksonville already drafted a QB in round 1 the last two years. Lot's of football left yet but I don't see the Bill's winning more than two more games. I believe they will be in a good position to trade up and grab possibly the number one or two overall pick and get the next best thing to Jim Kelly.

Yes they have a chance to be a bust, but also the best chance we have to get a franchise QB. It's a risk but we have to try. Clearly what we have been doing has not been working. Buddy and Doug or whoever the GM and braintrust may be come April needs to identify the best QB who has the greatest chance of success and do whatever it takes to get him.

TheFunPolice Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) the Bills are convinced that they HAVE a franchise QB in Ryan Fitzpatrick If anything, the awful defense this year will save Fitz's job for another year, as long as he has enough TDs at the end of the season for them to crow about his beloved "stats" Nothing changes in that regard until a new owner fires everyone and new guys come in Edited October 29, 2012 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the most selectively revisionist piles of horse plop I've ever read here, and that's really saying something. I'll compile a list of every QB drafted in the first five picks of the draft, and in years where no QB was selected in the top five I'll simply list the first QB selected, for the last 20 years for you. 1992: David Klingler (6) 1993: Drew Bledsoe (1), Rick Mirer (2) 1994: Heath Shuler (3) 1995: Steve McNair (3), Kerry Collins (5) 1996: Tony Banks (42) 1997: Jim Druckenmiller (26) 1998: Peyton Manning (1), Ryan Leaf (2) 1999: Tim Couch (1), Donovan McNabb (2), Akili Smith (3) 2000: Chad Pennington (18) 2001: Mike Vick (1) 2002: David Carr (1), Joey Harrington (3) 2003: Carson Palmer (1) 2004: Eli Manning (1), Phillip Rivers (4) 2005: Alex Smith (1) 2006: Vince Young (3) 2007: JaMarcus Russell (1) 2008: Matt Ryan (3) 2009: Matthew Stafford (1), Mark Sanchez (5) 2010: Sam Bradford (1) 2011: Cam Newton (1) 2012: Andrew Luck (1), Robert Griffin III (2) The above list names a total of 30 current or former players. Of those, only 13 are current NFL starters, with 5 others having been considered legitimate starters during their careers. Of the entire list, only 13 ever made a Pro-Bowl, and only 1 has been an All-Pro selection. Only 3 have ever made it to the Super Bowl, and of those only 2 have won the Big Game. To conclude, there are no sure fire "franchise" players at any position, much less at quarterback where the development curve is long and unpredictable. If you don't believe me, just ask any of the 32 general managers in the NFL. Or, if you've managed to convince yourself that you've got the magic bullet, apply for one of their jobs. If it really is as simple for you to see as you're claiming, any one of the NFL's franchises would be happy to have you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Nix should understand that sticking with Fitz & not drafting QB will create a lot of empty seats at the Ralph next year. No one is interested in watching that mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 as I stated previously, research shows that, while 50% is not a great number its the best you will get, rd 1 QBs are a 50/50 success rate, it only goes down from there. Who knows, maybe this is another 2004 type class where there are 3 legit franchise QBs, and we will have a shot at one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
