Bill from NYC Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Suppose Barley and Nassib are available at #8, and Brandon/Nix think that Barkley is slightly better (perhaps 1 win per season). They also think that Nassib would generate considerably higher ticket sales for obvious reasons. My question is, which one do you think they would select?

thebandit27 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 They'd draft the better player, because everyone knows that WINNING sells tickets, not drafting a guy that played his college football 2-1/2 hours away. That said, this is very, very hypothetical, because they're going to draft the guy that they think helps the team the most, just like they've done the past 2 years.

Mango Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nassib doesn't increase ticket sales GARAUNTEED, not to mention he would be there at 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I don't think 1 win/season is a "slight" advantage, and I don't think the Bills braintrust would see that as slight advantage either. But I think if they were truly close enough to be slightly different, then the more marketable guy gets drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsrhody Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think fans would get more excited about Barkley in general than they would about Nassib.. Barkley has more proven success and seems to have a higher ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think you're giving too much credit to Nassib for being able to sell tickets. The fans will eventually rally around any QB if they take one. That's just how we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley has more proven success and seems to have a higher ceiling. they might eventually be more excited, but i could see a 50/50 split if these guys are drafted. half the fans would be mad because we drafted a surfer dude from california and the next in a long line of sanchezes. and of course the other half would be enraged because the bills are more worried about having a reunion of syracuse university than putting a winner on the field.

JPS Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Why would Nassib sell tix in Bflo? He's from Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply looking to see how Bills Fans feel about those making the decisions for this team. But on another note, who is really the fool? Me, for posting this? Or a rude, boring, pompous ass like you for responding to it when you think it's so far beneath you?

I apologize if you took that personally. I posted that meaning that it's an unrealistic scenario. I apologize if you were offended. To be more concise: I think that scenario is outlandish.

IF Nassib meant selling more seats, which I don't believe one bit, it would only last one year, and it may not even be one year unless he starts right away, which is unlikely with Kolb here now. After one year, good or poor QB play, will be the seat seller. I don't see any possible way that Nassib playing poorly would get more people from Syracuse to come watch him suck, nor do I think there will be any less enthusiasm for Barkley should he play well versus Nassib playing well. If Barkley plays well in this scenario, he will be as big a savior and drawing card as Nassib playing well in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
