Dopey Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 We have a defense that many of us think is championship caliber( I know I do). This defensive line is relatively young, I didn't look it up but I think Kyle Williams is one of the few who I consider long in the tooth. But he's playing damn good football and probably has 3 good years left. Our LB's are young and Kiko is coming back. Our DB's are also pretty young, McKelvin is the oldest at 29 yrs. old. On Offense we are also relatively young. We have a young line that needs work, but young none the less except for Pears. I believe the young guys on the o-line will play a lot better with a year under their belts and hopefully better coaching. Young WR's as well with potential in Watkins and Woods. I like our ST with Carpenter and to me, our punter didn't stick out as a terrible punter. I also like the pickup of Thigpen. Rb's are pretty easy to get if the o-line does it's job. Having said all of this, we obviously feel we could use an upgrade at the QB position until EJ gets up to speed or it's determined he just can't cut it. If the staff feels there is a QB worth it, either a vet on a team already(RGIII, Cutler, Bradford etc.) or a rookie(Winston or Marriotta) would you be ok with a blockbuster trade to acquire this guy? When I say a Mike Ditka type of trade, it doesn't have to be all of our picks, but maybe most of the picks left to acquire this guy. We all seem to agree that we are a QB away from the playoffs and even a deep run in the playoffs. We should be able to find a guard or 2 that will be an improvement over Pears, even Williams coming back from injury would be an upgrade over Pears. I think we are close enough to being a complete team, that this thought actually crossed my mind. As young as this team is, we would have a 3-4 year run and 3 drafts to make up for this trade. Keep in mind the picks given up are not locks to be good(see this article http://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/2014/4/17/5623840/nfl-draft-saints-ricky-williams-mike-ditka-trade ). Just a thought.

Chuck Wagon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 What are you getting at again? Trade a bunch of picks for who? Â As far as I can tell he's wondering if we'd be ok trading our entire draft for RGIII, Bradford or Cutler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 No one is trading a franchise level guy that also is not named Brady,Manning, Rodgers or Brees..guys like Flacco, Luck, Ryan, Wilson,...just aint gunna be traded unless you give all of this years picks, Kiko and Sammy...and possibly the next 2 years #1s.. Â Griffin, Cutler, Bradford ain't worth it...they can be had for less. Â So the argument is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 There is a precedent for it. Ditka trades all of his picks for one player and then 11 years later with a completely new team, staff and front office the Saints win the Super Bowl. It clearly worked. We would have won 4-5 Super Bowls by now if we did this every 11 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The continued mentioning of Cutler as a possible good choice for the Bills is amusing. Like him or hate him, Cutler is far better than any UFA QB on the market and any QB currently on the Bills' roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I would only consider a trade like that if we got someone like Andrew Luck in return. By the way, it was easier to read the second time. Thanks for editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The continued mentioning of Cutler as a possible good choice for the Bills is amusing. I strongly disagree. It's not amusing, it's terrifying. Remember the pick he threw to Kyle Williams? That is vintage Cutler. I would rather stick my hand in a blender and hit "puree" than to go through a season watching Cutler as our QB. We'd be better off trading a 6th round pick to Oakland for Matt Schaub.

Uffalo Ills Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 If you mean trading picks for a coach, I'd sell the barn for Chip Kelly. He's a perfect fit. For a Player? Nah. Players are less durable. Matt Ryan I'd trade for, but that wont happen. nor will any scenario... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
