I wouldn't prevent a 2nd and 3rd round pick from getting a franchise QB. (If the FO thought geno was one) Thanks Jim.

Free Agency

Geeze. Wouldn't the most direct route simply be to draft a franchise QB?

Trade up to #3 if possible and take Geno Smith. 1. He has by far the most physical tools of any QB in this draft to succeed at the next level. 2. He most likely will not be there at #8. 3. The thought of having TJax starting for us next season makes me want to vomit. 4. The thought of us drafting Nassib makes me want to vomit 4a. If we draft Nassib, I think (I could be wrong) that this wouuld be the first time in NFL history where a HC, OC, and QB all come to the NFL the same season from a single college program. 4b. For no other reason than 4a, I want nothing to do with Nassib. Ya, it's a silly reason, but holy sh*t, Syracuse, though Marrone got the most out of them, didn't do much of anything in a rather weak conference, so what the heck should we expect from the same exact group in the NFL. Do we make the Syracuse Athletic Director the Bills GM next? Shoot me. There really isn't a single QB in this draft (other than Geno) that excites me in any way. We need the draft picks but I'd be willing to trade away our first 3 picks this year and take a chance (for once) on a premier QB prospect. If not this season, with a completely different regime, when?

Wish you nothing but the best Fitz! Now, who's going to release Buddy?

dude, what in the world is the point of this? The 50yd BOMB to Stevie against Pitt a couple of years ago was the best play the Bills have had in the last 15 years..until SJ dropped it Stop with the nonsense. We get that Fitz isn't great, but putting a highlight real of Trent Edwards against the Jaguars?? LMAO.

Lmao..what's comforting about that? Fit was the same player today than he was when he was given the huge extension. Buddy is a clown. Nix should say "the bills are screwed because of me" and not throw fitz under the bus. You're the one running the show, !@#$. What an embarrassment.

This.

If Gamble was "brutal" i'd love to know what you think of our CB's. In his worst full seasons (15/16 games) he still averaged more INT's than all of our CB's last season - COMBINED. He retired early - good for him. Bad for the rest of us who have absolute sh*t at the CB position.

ESPN radio here in NY is saying that the Jets should go after Fitzpatrick if he's cut. Meanwhile, some people here would probably go as far as to say that Garrard is better than Fitz. The irony.

Diazepam.

There's really no point on going back and forth with e/o. There are many on here who simply view things completely differently regarding Fitz. The horse has been beaten to death and we should just let it go until the FO makes a decision.

Perhaps, but the QB is a pretty big apple to replace no matter how "crappy" he may be.

and during the same third, the defense has never ranked higher than 26th in the NFL in pts given up/game.

I hear ya, and I understand that's where we fundamentally disagree (with respect to how far he can potentially take us).

I don't think Fitz is good enough to take us to the super bowl. I do think, however, that he is good enough to take us to the playoffs - which, for a team who hasn't made it in over 10 years, should be our primary goal (IMO). And again, there's nothing that prevents us from keeping Fitz AND drafting a QB. Just b/c I want Fitz on this team doesn't mean I don't want an upgrade. All in due time..

Free agent CB Chris Gamble is planning to retire. "A number of teams have expressed interest in (him)," Gamble's agent said in a statement. "However, Chris informed me last night that he wants to retire. Even though he still loves football, he told me that he's decided to focus on life after football." It's stunning news for a 30 year old who seemed to have some good football left, but could be an indication the shoulder injury that limited Gamble to four games last season was more serious than previously thought. Perpetually underrated since being the No. 28 pick of the 2004 draft, Gamble will finish his career with 27 interceptions across 123 games if he's indeed hanging up his cleats. It's possible Gamble will reconsider once training camp rolls around.

This is nonsense man. Over last 3 years, Fitz has averaged more total yards, more yards/attempts, more TD's and a higher QBR every single year. Fitz has 5 more INT's over those 3 years but has 15 more TDs over those 3 years. Thanks for bringing up Sanchez though, b/c that's a perfect example of how far a great defense can take a team w/ a crappy QB. At 6-10 with a bottom of the league Defense, we don't need to have a top 3 defense like the jets to make the playoffs, but if this defense was able to make it to the top 20 or top 15, there's no reason to believe that this team can't easily go 9-7 or maybe 10-6 with Fitz and a better coaching staff.

I don't agree. There's nothing that prevents us from trying to get as many wins as possible this upcoming season while also drafting/developing a QB this year or next. You play to win ever season and let the chips fall where they may. My ideal scenario: Keep Fitz, draft a QB in first 3 rounds. Let Fitz/TJax/rookie compete and let best one win. If rookie doesn't win the job for Week 1, then start either Fitz/Tjax. If we start off say 5-2, keep going with the veteran. We start off 1-5, switch to the rookie if ready. The team has more upside with Fitz than without Fitz - at least for next season. (IMO).

Yup. Easiest target requiring the least amount of mental effort.

In 2012: Defense was 26th in pts/game...Offense was 21st In 2011: Defense was 30th in pts/game....Offense was 14th Why not keep fitz, try to improve the defense and aim for 8-8 or 9-7 next season and a possibility at a Wild Card? Is that not an option????? (also, this option does not prevent us from drafting a QB either this year or next). Makes the most sense to me.

I agree.

Fitz will be on this team this season and starting week 1.

x2

The same TJ who didn't make it passed 3rd string last season? And outside of maybe Geno Smith, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any of this year's rookie QB's to be starting for any team on Week 1.
