North Buffalo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't like the idea of picking a project QB in the second round with our current QB situation. Agreed, I do think if he or any of the other lowely rated QBs are around in the 4th or 5th round then great, but not until they draft a lineman and a linebacker and possibly another TE.

Saint Doug Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I have no problem using our 2nd round pick on a QB. If it's any position we need, its a QB. Just like Pegulas oil wells, you keep drilling till you hit oil. This team's current roster is a decent QB away from a deep playoff run. It may be this coming year or the next, but you're not going to get him if you sit on your hands (like Buddy did and we know where that got us).

habes1280 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nothing wrong with giving him a look. The fact that Rex is working him out is a positive thing, but not proof-positive that he's going to be (over)drafted at 50. It just means that the staff wants to know everything they need to know about the QBs who might be available when it's their turn at the podium. With no franchise quarterback on the roster, that's just due diligence. Hopefully reports like these mean that this staff won't be remiss, and overlook "second-tier" college QBs who end up having the chops to lead an NFL offense.

3rdand12 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 May i suggest ,since such a bang up job is being done this offseason with developing a winning team, i think if the Bills like Petty at fifty ? just do it. Or can trade down if he is kinda hot. BPA baby ! thats a successful offseason in my opinion Now wheres my damned FA guard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuoteTheRaven83 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Theres more talent in the FA pool and draft next year. I'd much rather wait and see what EJ has for a full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I am just not sold on Petty. He's already 24 and has never played under center. I never saw him as a good pro prospect regardless of his nfl stats. Developmental guy at best, we have enough of those. Waste of a draft pick IMO. Go for a real QB next year.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Theres more talent in the FA pool and draft next year. I'd much rather wait and see what EJ has for a full season. I don't want to "see what EJ has" unless he beats out Matt Cassel, Tyrod Taylor, and preferably another QB from Day 3 of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 He's even more of a project than EJ. No thanks. and you know this how??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm not a Petty fan. I think that I only saw him 3 times this year though so I may not be the best judge. His accuracy scares me in the same way that EJ's accuracy scares me. I will pass on another project at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffalo Ills Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Awesome, his jersey will fit in perfectly with the EJ Manuel, Losman, and Trent Edwards jerseys collecting dust in my closet. Edited March 19, 2015 by Uffalo Ills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I wasn't a big fan of Petty before and I didn't even realize he is about to be 24 already. That offense makes QBs. My prediction: the new Baylor Qb will put up monster numbers. Same with Texas A & M, see how Johnny Rehab looks in the NFL. The talent of teams like Baylor and Texas A&M are the head coaches. Also, if the Bills are really interested, unless they are super dumb, they would keep that interest as quiet as possible. Man, people love Cook. An under 60% passer in a 3 team Big 10 worries me a bit. I agree to an extent about baylor but honestly i think petty is pretty good. I wouldn't fault him for playing there; he can be taught to do new things. He has a good arm, plays well in big games, has good size, seems pretty accurate (from what i've seen, at least), and is reasonably mobile.

Gestes72 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 With Taylor also being signed I don't see them picking a QB in this draft they will probably sign an UDFA but when you already have a 3 way battle for QB you aren't using your 2d Rd pick on one. Based on this aggressive offseason you can pretty much bank on them trading up next year to take a QB if they feel one is worth that. Pat Kirwan on NFL Radio yesterday said he thinks Petty will be taken not far behind Marcus and I doubt he falls out of 1st Rd and Kirwan is pretty good for the most part.

Fan in Chicago Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Theres more talent in the FA pool and draft next year. I'd much rather wait and see what EJ has for a full season. This available talent in FA almost never materializes for a QB. And let us say EJ tanks. Then what ? Reach next year for a QB ? Trade a boat load of picks to move up ? Again try to make-do with some second tier or has-been QB ? The time to get a QB is before you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) not a lot of good QB's next year. the top projected QB will be Connor Cook from Michigan State. watch Bryce Petty outplay him in the Cotton Bowl a couple of months ago... https://youtu.be/nUg7ldPla7w Didn't have the time for the whole game, but I watched a different video that was a cutup of just bryce from that game. I wasn't too impressed with him in that game. I just didn't see a lot of nfl throws, and while his accuracy is good enough for college I don't think it is good enough to be consistent in the nfl. He also didn't seem to do well under pressure which for me is a problem because high pressure in college equates to the "normal" pressure in the nfl. I would have liked to see him get out of trouble and hit some throws on a few of those pressures. When he had time he did hit some slants and deep balls, but again, I didn't think it was enough to justify a second round grade. I'll stick with trying to find a way to get another first round pick next year and taking my chances then or kicking the draft pick down the road.
