HT02 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would love to get either Mettenberger or Glennon, my quess is that either of them can be had now for a late draft pick 5 or 6. Both of them have a much higher upside than any of QB's we have on the roster right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Speaking of hindsight, how about assessing the QBS that the Bills could have had in the last 2 years and tell me which one we whiffed on? Here's a clue: none of them. And if Mettenburger/Murray/anyone in 2014 has some success? Does that mean we whiffed on one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) And if Mettenburger/Murray/anyone in 2014 has some success? Does that mean we whiffed on one?By success do you mean seeing him throw a TD on SportsCenter? Obviously Tennessee is so impressed with Mettenburger they turned down a monster trade package from the Eagles to roll the dice on Mariotta.

Mettenburger after six games isn't a HoFer, thus, we didn't make any mistake not drafting him? Edited May 1, 2015 by FireChan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That they like Mariota over Mettenburger? What does trading for Matt Cassel tell you? Probably nothing, right? That they want a veteran backup at least, who khas get possibly be a quality starter if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) That Tom Brady or Aarons Rogers weren't available? So trading for Cassel says nothing about our QB situation, but picking the #2 Heisman winning QB in a notoriously weak draft means that Mettenburger sucks and will always suck. Got it.

Chuck Wagon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 mett has requested a trade Mettenberger and Zach Stacy requesting trades is too funny. Stacy especially. Hate to break it to you buddy, but you were relegated to the bench well before Todd Gurley was a Ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Some Bills fans' logic. Even though ZM's QBR was 12 points lower than EJ's rookie year QBR, he clearly has more upside. How in the world did we come to a point where a 6th round pick with off the field issues can go 0-6 and demand a trade? Sounds like he is very entitled. Mettenberger and Zach Stacy requesting trades is too funny. Stacy especially. Hate to break it to you buddy, but you were relegated to the bench well before Todd Gurley was a Ram. Agreed. It's funny. Stacy had a decent rookie year but was severely out played by Mason last year. But hey, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan1959 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So trading for Cassel says nothing about our QB situation, but picking the #2 Heisman winning QB in a notoriously weak draft means that Mettenburger sucks and will always suck. Got it. Because trading a late round pick for a veteran back up QB and selecting a Heisman winning QB with the number two overall pick are such eerily similar scenarios...

Traded two late rounders and took on his salary. Which, IIRC, is more than Mariota's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got Cassel and a 6th round pick for 5th this year and a 7th next year. You're right. That is probably more than the Titans turned down to draft MM.

You are overstating how much the Bills gave up for Cassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaSnow Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 We are only a QB away from doing this. If he can be had for a late round pick, do it. Let all of the QBs compete in training camp and preseason and then choose the best three. Screw loyalty to any of our current QBs. I'm sure they are all great people, but for the first time in a while, we have a window opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flipped 6ths with the Vikes. We get theirs this year and they get ours next year, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are all great people, but for the first time in a while, we have a window opening. But the point is that these QBs are projects themselves. They might get eaten alive if they were forced to start. So you would be throwing away our first pick in the draft. And if they struggle, how many games do they get before we want to get rid of them? 14? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
