njbuff Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I say do it the right way and bring in Eli and draft a first round QB. Let that first round QB sit for two years. And by all heck, get Eli an OL here. The Bills will have the draft capital and salary cap space to do so. Might be too much to ask as I really don't know if Eli has anything left in the tank and if he does he is certainly a better QB than Taylor. Also, I don't know if any 2018 QB's drafted can start right away. How far fetched is this idea?????? Or is it even possible? 2
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 forget about eli man. as for drafting a QB in round one, they better. 1 1
BringBackOrton Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Eli won't come here. He'll stay with the Giants, retire or rejoin Coughlin.
Kirby Jackson Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I have no interest in Eli and his price tag. 1
Domdab99 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 LOLOLOLOLOL Why do you think Eli would be an upgrade over Tyrod? You guys are amazing. Hint: those SB victories weren't yesterday. 3

He won his 1st super bowl while Eli was still in school. I'd take Archie Manning over Tyrod at this point 1

Hint: those SB victories weren't yesterday. Expand Eli actually plays the position. Sure, he won't be scrambling for a handful of TD's anytime soon, but completed passes, attacking downfield, running a 2 minute drill? Sign me up please.
BigPappy Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I don't know if I would even want Eli. He was to me an above average QB but not elite. It should be noted that his playing issues the last few years can mostly be contributed to the lack of O-line support to protect him. The big questions are does he have anything left in the tank and how much is he going to cost? Some of the positives with him are that he is durable, and isn't afraid to sling the pig skin. Not sure he's worth the risk though.

The Bills offensive line is certainly that - offensive.

Expand He actually completes a lower percentage and has less yards per attempt. If that’s important to you, I guess you prefer Tyrod to Eli.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I expect him to be in Jacksonville with Coughlin and Marrone next season.
Roundybout Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 If he decides to retire he might not be a bad QB coach. 1
The Now Moment Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Switch Eli with Sam Bradford and I'd consider.
RyanC883 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I'd take Eli. The guy was playing almost all season behind a subpar O-line, and without his top 2 WR's, and zero RB support. But, I have a feeling he ends up in Jax, which has a fantastic RB situation, a good-great O-line, and 2-3 very talented WR's.

Big Turk Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Yes because he is washed up. I'm all for them bringing in a guy but I hope its Case Keenum...he has really turned into a fine QB...reminds me a lot of the Rich Gannon career path...middling backup turned bad starter until one day the light just goes on and he becomes really good Edited November 30, 2017 by matter2003

Eli has seen his play slip and losing his top receivers is only part of the reason why. Father time has caught up with him. Also, I don't think he would come to Buffalo on a team friendly contract and I'd rather spend the money elsewhere. In addition, unless there is a major upgrade to the oline Eli would get "murder-ized" back there.
Teddy KGB Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Tyrod > Eli talk is wild. One game with your life on the line, you're picking Eli.
