First off, Indy can't run the ball. Pass happy or not... they're bad at it. That's why they drafted Brown. Same applies for San Diego, who had one of the worst averages in YPC. With Westbrook out too, Philly went with their skill... their young WRs. And they ultimately lost b/c they couldn't run the ball.
As for Forsett, Harrison and Charles... please. Forsett was behind Julius Jones. If Seattle was so high on Forsett, their interest would be zero for Spiller. If Charles is so good, why did the Chiefs need to bring in a 1400 yd. rusher? They have just as many needs as us. And as for Harrison, look who he played the last three games -- there's his whole statistical year.
You're being completely idiotic. These teams would never move these players to begin with... seriously, why would the Titans take a 1st rounder for Johnson. That makes zero sense. If either Johnson, MJD, etc. were on the Bills, you'd take a first round pick for him b/c running backs are a dime a dozen? Glad your not a GM buddy.
really? a dime a dozen... tell that to Washington, Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland, San Diego, Indianapolis, NYG, Philly, Seattle, Chicago, KC and a dozen other teams last year. nice try though.
No it's not... any team in the NFL would dump their "tandems" or "change of pace guy" if they could get their hands on a Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, MJD or Steven Jackson.
No matter what I still want a LT/NT -- just want to make that clear before I begin.
Firstly, I don't think Lynch is going to be here next year, and that's why the Bills are evaluating Spiller to begin with. So, I don't think it's out of the question... would I be upset with this pick? Yes, but at least it's not Maybin. Plus, the proof is in the pudding... RBs are much less risky than QBs.
Secondly, outside of some mock drafts, there hasn't been too much chatter about Clausen coming to Buffalo. I just don't see it happening. I think Brady Quinn has a better shot of landing here than Clausen. I could be wrong on this, but I really haven't seen too much interest even on the Bills' side.
Really? People would be happy w/ Tebow at #9? That has to be the most nonsensical thing I've read in a while... and there is no way Nix/Gailey let that happen.
They're looking for at least a 5th for him, but I'd be extremely surprised if a team didn't offer a 4th if there are several teams vying for his services. However, and you're absolutely right on this, there is no way that they just cut him and get nothing in return for a former #1.
With that said, I'd like to hear what Jim Kelly's thoughts are on Quinn.
Plenty of college QBs have high accuracy and don't amount to anything. Don't think for a second Brohm belongs in that category of those QBs you just mentioned. Once again, there is a reason why he was on the practice squad.
Most young QBs have trouble handling pressure and recognizing blitz packages. That comes with time. And don't sell Quinn short -- his arm strength is not bad by any means and much stronger than Holcombe's. Plus, his down field options were limited b/c the line couldn't hold up most games. I just don't think Quinn should be written off as easily as some people think. That's just my two cents.
I've watched a couple games this year w/ Quinn at the helm, and I got to be honest, he's way more dynamic of a player than RJ ever was. Cleveland sucked more than Buffalo the last couple of years, so I would consider Quinn's stats to be somewhat deceiving. When you have zero WR options, an average running game, predictable play calling and a below average o-line, your QB is going to look far worse than he really is.
