I hope this regime isn't that dumb but you never know. The Bills haven't had a QB in 20 years and haven't made much of an attempt to get one either. So yes they do need to realize the importance of the position This is plainly false. He may have whiffed on the ones he drafted and signed, but he brought a bunch of them in.

EJ, as every draft analyst could have told you, was a complete bust. they brought in a bunch of nobodies besides that. if you whiff on the QB you drafted doesn't mean you can't keep drafting them. think of all of the QB's we could have had between 2013 and now. get a freaking QB at all costs. if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. you trade up for a WR in the deepest WR draft of all time but you don't trade up for a QB? this is craziness Edited November 21, 2017 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simool Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Countdown to Chad Kelly starting in 3 games, 2 games, 1 game... Boy is this place going to go thermonuclear when he lights it up too. Note to self, order popcorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when you dont have a QB! You waste your otherwise talented team Yes, but we also need to build a talented team. We have neither right now.

He didn't look that bad when he saw some time last year. Actually, he didn't look that bad at all. He looked "ordinary rookie QB getting his first significant regular season game action" bad. 59% completion/2 TD, 1 INT, 79.2 rating. As with most talented/high draft pick rookie QBs, he flashed some skills. He also looked a little confused by the speed of the game, which made him very cautious. No Gunslinggin' Nathan there. But that's kind of what you expect a rookie QB to do. If only Nathan had followed the script ... all told (and I live in Colorado), I thought Lynch was about what any reasonable person would have expected. Everyone thought he was a project when he was drafted out of Memphis' definitely non-pro ready program, but he has the size and the arm. Nothing has changed my assessment of him. In fact, had Siemien been able to hold the job, I would've suggested that the Bills take a run at him for next year to put him in the new QB derby. My estimate of "will become a good NFL starter" potential: 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siemian and BO are marginal NFL QBs who were playing poorly in the midst of a six game losing streak while Lynch is their 1st round pick from last season. Nothing ballsy about giving him a shot given what they have invested in him. Edited November 22, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clearly wasn't going to happen with Siemien or Brock, so this one was an easy call. Just like it would have been an easy call to go to Peterman in that Colts game when we probably would've been 5-7 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my estimate that the other guys (Siemien/Brock) will ever become a good NFL starter: Brock: 0 Siemien: 5 % And I think the Broncos see the same thing. Lynch is still kind of a longshot, but a reasonable longshot play. The other guys really have no future as NFL starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
