Bangarang Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The only logical thing is to forfeit all of out pucks now since McShay is always right about the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Good to know Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey finally want to draft a QB after 3 years of a backup elevated to starter According to Todd McShay there is no elite franchise QB in the upcoming draft http://espn.go.com/n...know-2013-draft no elite QBs this year? what a shock. I'm stunned. we all know last year was the year. Indy got incredibly lucky as they were not nearly as bad as their record indicated. If we put a high school QB in there we can go 1 -15 as well.. wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 which is why i think smith or barkley will be there when the bills pick.... I think Barkley will only be successful in a West Coast offense where you can limit the amount of down-the-field throws, and his vertical accuracy isn't that good. With Smith, I think he's still developing as a quarterback. He's a smart kid, he works unbelievably hard and he has all the intangibles you're looking for, but a little bit like Christian Ponder, he didn't always transfer that information on the field. Ponder would often lock in on his initial read, and I think there's a lot of the same questions about Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just an fyi. NFL coaches & scouts have zero respect for McShay... that was brought to light and actually publicized a couple of years ago before the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Here's what I don't get - Christian Ponder picked 13th overall - EJ Manuel same school, better measureables, similar but superior statistics and he's ranked somewhere between a 2nd and 4th round pick.

BuffaloWings Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Good to know Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey finally want to draft a QB after 3 years of a backup elevated to starter According to Todd McShay there is no elite franchise QB in the upcoming draft http://espn.go.com/n...know-2013-draft Yeah...because someone who works for E$PN says so, then it's true. This doesn't mean that the available QBs won't be good. Nassib on third or 4th round may be our move.... I admit I haven't seen much of Nassib this year, but it didn't seem like he was quite there a year ago and needed a lot of work. Has he improved that much where he's worth a 4th round pick?

truth on hold Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) A) he's not the definitive word on anything (no one is 100% accurate forecasting talent), B) he said he hasn't reviewed all the tape and guys can emerge before the draft. Give it a rest man, haven't even had the bowl games or combine yet Edited November 29, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah...because someone who works for E$PN says so, then it's true. This doesn't mean that the available QBs won't be good. I admit I haven't seen much of Nassib this year, but it didn't seem like he was quite there a year ago and needed a lot of work. Has he improved that much where he's worth a 4th round pick? For the BIlls? Hmmm....4th round: Searcy, Hairston, Easley, Shawn Nelson, Reggie Corner, Derek Fine, Dwayne Wright, Ko Simpson, Duke Preston..... Yeah, pretty much anything is good enough for the 4th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 even if true, there are still about 5 better than what we have now -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Here's what I don't get - Christian Ponder picked 13th overall - EJ Manuel same school, better measureables, similar but superior statistics and he's ranked somewhere between a 2nd and 4th round pick. That's because it's November. By March and April, we witness an inexplicable phenomena where GMs start falling over each other for QBs and they shoot up the boards. As for the McShay article, I think he meant there are no elite prospects. Which is true. There are no RGIIIs or Lucks. This doesn't mean that 2-3 of the QBs in this class will not turn out to be elite QBs. Nobody knows this - not even McShay. Flacco, Rodgers, Dalton, Wilson, & Brees (or Kapernick, but its too early to judge him) were never considered elite prospects, but they're not doing too bad in this league.

Sisyphean Bills Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Who's Todd McShay? I'll take "guy that hyped Aaron Maybin" for $600, Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Indy got incredibly lucky as they were not nearly as bad as their record indicated. I still contend there was no luck (lower case 'l') involved. Edited November 29, 2012 by CodeMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 McShay like the Aaron Maybin pick! That said, this year's class of college QB's looks to be pretty underwhelming. Still, I have to believe there's QB out there that can help the Bills. Isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLS_ROC Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ...Indy got incredibly lucky as they were not nearly as bad as their record indicated... Lucky had nothing to do with Indy getting the top pick. It was a decree from on high that they would lose as many games as they needed to to guarantee the top pick. (Pretty smart business decision, but horrible sportsmanship) Manning being out was their excuse, but Indy without manning was still way better than many teams that drafted after them in 2012. It may be unscrupulous what they did, but I would find a way to cope if Buffalo had decided to tank last year to get the best QB in years without having to lose draft picks to get him.

peterpan Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Here's what I don't get - Christian Ponder picked 13th overall - EJ Manuel same school, better measureables, similar but superior statistics and he's ranked somewhere between a 2nd and 4th round pick. Thats where guys like McShay predicted Ponder would go too. McShay might as well be blind considering how good he is at projecting QB. This is the guy that had Andre Woodson as the #1 overall pick a few years back. He went in the 6th round and was out of the league two years later.
