Maury Ballstein Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Bills LG Andy Levitre has "nothing to report" on contract talks with the club this season. "I'd love to stay here," Levitre said. "It's a great place. I love the staff. I love the people here in Buffalo." The sides opened preliminary talks in the offseason, but "as of now," there's nothing in the works. Levitre's 60 consecutive starts are the most of any Bills player, and he grades out ninth among NFL guards this season, according to Pro Football Focus.

It's your weekly QB of the future update from the Bills. Nix has made it clear that he will seek a long-term solution to the position in the offseason, but he also realizes he can't reach for a QB if his personnel department isn't on board with the prospect's NFL projection. "We'll still take the best player," said Nix.

Fixxxer Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 To those who bash Buffalo and the team and say Gailey lost the team: Levitre: "It's a great place, I love the staff" Before you say, "well, what do you expect? for him to throw the staff under the bus" I say he could have said, "We will see what happens" and nothing more.

I do like this attitude better than the one from two days back: ''And I'll tell you this: if you like a quarterback, and like him in the third round, then you had better take him in the second.'' Depends on what his approach and decision will be on draft day. Edited December 7, 2012 by Fan in Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always say F the Bills im not watching another game....well come sunday there i am with my Bills gear on screaming at my TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Levitre seems like a great person. Good for him, glad he likes it in Buffalo. with the Kaepernick, Cousins, Foles, Wilson etc etc misses I could care less if we go 1st or 2nd to address QB. we have already missed out on more than a few qb's that we could stand behind. would love watching Kaep or Wilson............bring some excitement back to this team.

Taking a QB in the first or second round won't gaurentee a Fitzless 2013 if that's what you truly want. They prospect will probably sit for most of his first season if he plays at all. Fitz is likely the QB for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, but one of the reasons thrown against Gailey is that the players don't respond to him and that is why we lose games. I want to see Gailey with a better QB, With a better QB, i have no doubt we would be in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm not wrong, none of the QBs coming out of the draft this year seem to be the pick and immediately plug types. We'd be in for some real growing pains. If you think Fitz is bad. Especailly for someone, you seemingly, want to reach on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I hope I'm not wrong, none of the QBs coming out of the draft this year seem to be the pick and immediately plug types. We'd be in for some real growing pains. If you think Fitz is bad. Especailly for someone, you seemingly, want to reach on. This. I've always been on the mindstate regardless of what qb you draft it's best to have a smart capable vet backing him up/mentoring the young qb. Regardless of what qb we draft I'd rather have fitz be that mentor qb than the likes of Thigpen or Tarvaris Jackson. I've said it before I'll say it again. I would rather a young qb learn from the bench and the mental side of the game before he's thrown to the wolves. Regardless of a handfull of other circumstances around the league. Eli sat behind Warner most of his rookie year. Brady behind Bledsoe. Rodgers behind Favre. It took Brees years before he was good enough. Schaub sat for years before becoming what he is today. You have exceptions, but more often than not qb's have to sit and learn before they're ready. There is no RGIII or Luck in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
