without a drought Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 So you're saying there's a 10% chance we could get Jeff George. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that this draft has a deep talent pool that will probably push into the 4th rd. I see our picks being more valuable this year because of the talent of players in it.

Im not sure how people are confused by this, or so against it. The Bills have tried every which way possible but the QB for the last 15 Years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's take a deep dive here on the list. Luck - pretty good but honestly he hasn't performed near what everyone thought he would. Wentz - agree. He's the real deal. Goff - could be foles 2.0. Was absolutely terrible in one system and good when given the most weapons in the league. Can't say he's good yet. Matt Ryan - agree. Mahomes - crazy talk to say he's anything yet. Watson - looked good. But is he another Bradford that can't stay healthy. Who knows. Trubisky - wow. Not sure he was better than treat Edwards last year to be honest. Winston - I wouldn't trade any pick yo get him. He's horribly inconsistent. Mariota - under achieve much? again. No picks would be traded for him. Newton - agree...but he's not tier 1 Stafford - throws for 5k every year but can't win a playoff game. Of your list of trade picks in hindsight for 3. Maybe 4 of them.

See above post, 23 highest paid players are QBs. Soon to be 25 of 25 after Goff and Wentz. Bills outsmarting everyone by not playing a QB or just really late to the party.

I’d say of those 23, some are probably wise to do so because they QBs they have are worth it, raise the level of team play and put butts in seats and some are overpaying for mediocrity just to still put butts in seats. I think there is a clear tranche of QBs that out earn their performance. My point is and has always been QB is important but you can’t overpay or overdraft for a guy that is marginally better than what you can find more cost effectively 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacco was cost effective wilson was cost effective ben was cost effective rodgers was cost effective When you get into a bidding war & hope to throw picks or money at QB to fix it- it’s not the silver bullet folks make it out to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of season meeting - "Well, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is; never try." It's worth thinking about. He (and Lisa) made a ton of money gambling on football, so he knows the sport. Also, I believe he had a short stint as owner of the Broncos (from Hank Scorpio), so he has that background as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
