I'll tell you what it means... it means Buddy covets newton so bad and the thought of Carolina taking him is making him wish he was drafting 1

With Shaun Rodgers getting his pink slip from the Browns the other day, would he be a fit for Buffalo's 3-4 defense? If so why don't we sign him to play the Nose Tackle and push Kyle Williams outside.

Great post!!! Atleast someone else on here isn't so narrow minded!

Thank you for solidfying my point. One of the 4 maybe even 2 of the 4 top Qbs will be a franchise guy.. We just have to select the right one! This may sound Crazy but I trust Nix and Gailey because they have a plan, which is more then the other clowns had in previous years. Your not sold yet,"YET" was the key word in the sentence, but wait till after the combine, his draft stock will have legs of its own.

I agree with your point and thank you for seeing mine. Just to answer your question as to why Gabbert is the new golden boy stems from before Luck and Gabbert were in college. They both attended the same All American camp and scouts then thought Gabbert was the better prospect. They both have the make up a protypical QB: Great height, weight, arm strength and enough elusiveness. The difference I feel is that Luck was coached up a bit better under Harbarough at Stanford then Gabbert was at Mizz.

I'm not saying that Luck isn't talented, I was just saying that he is over hyped as a lot of these prospects often are.. I would love to have him, but not at the cost of a season like we just had, and we would obviously have to be worst then that to get the # 1 pick.

Woud you really want to go through another season like we just had to have the opportunity to draft Luck?? The team that has the # 1 pick is going to be asking a Kings Randsom for him. Luck is still no sure thing either, he's good but more the product of hype. Lets take Locker for example last year at the time he was a guarenteed to be the 1st pick. If we ended up the 1st pick then of course draft him, but he's not gona be worth all the picks we have to give up to get him, I'd rather just take a developmental QB this year. Besides I think the Bills will win atleast 7 games this year, which is way to many to get the 1st pick in the draft.

I can see your point, but remember this, Brees was expendable only because the chargers drafted Rivers while they had him. They didn't think Brees was the answer and having a top 5 pick they new they couldn't pass up on a Franchise QB. Now do I think Gabbert and Locker turn out to be the next Rivers? I don't know, but I do know that even with all the first round busts there is still a greater chance we hit pay dirt with someone that all scount would agree is top 10 talent then trusting our ability to find a diamond in the rough like Tom Brady. As for Arizona, Warner was not drafted so he does not fit the criteria.

I love the Bills just as much as anyone on here but as many Gms as I seem to come across on this site none of them seem to be looking into the "future" of the Bills when they mock our pick. I agree with all of their banter on how we need linbackers and defensive line to stop the run, but lets face the facts, If we decided to draft fairley (who is not suh) and a linebacker in round 2 this team would still be 2-3 years away from winning and would still searching for our QB of the future. Here are my top reasons why I'm sold we take a QB. .7 You could always sign FA def players, how often does anyone sign FA franchise QB in free agency? Never! because no team is stupid enough to let their guy hit the market without compensation. .6 There are proven FA tackles to be had in Free agency: Brandon Mebane, Aubrayo Franklin, Richard Seymor.. How about FA linebackers Lamar Woodley, David Harris, Chad Greenway and Tamba Hali. .5 There are no guarentees that Fairley and Bowers don't turn out to be busts as well. Both are some what of a one hit wonder.. Do think the name Aaron Maybin hasn't scared anyone in the Bills organization when it comes to drafting a player who doesn't have more then a 1 great year to show on his resume? .4 Gailey and Nix say it themselves in an interview with a radio station Gailey is quoted as saying: "How many years do you expect to be able to draft at number three and be able to get a guy like that even if you put him under wraps for a year or two, while you’re grooming him? You have to consider that. We’re not in here just thinking about short term next year what can we do for the Buffalo Bills. Buddy (Nix) and I are committed to the long term success of the Buffalo Bills.” .3 Do people really think that after the combine you won't have the whole nation talking about Blaine Gabbert as the possible #1 overall pick?? Luck is good but he is more the product of Hype than a can't miss prospect.. Going into school it was Gabbert who was the more sought after recruit and he would certainly have been #1 in next years draft. .2 Lets just say we take Gailey at his word and Draft Gabbert if Carolina doesn't select him, well then we have Fitz to show him the ropes and to hold us over while Nix starts putting the rest of the defensive pieces together. Hey apparently it worked for Green bay, they still had Farve while they drafted Rodgers, granted its a lot less of a risk at where they picked him but its a similar idea. They needed to start planning for life without farve and even though they didn't need another QB they still took one because they might not ever be in that position to take another Franchise caliber guy for a while. We've sucked for 11 straight years and when during that time have we ever been able to have our choice of what franchise QB we want?? .1 We are just not that good!!!! We're improving and I do see some light at the end of this tunnel, but its gona take some time and some luck (or should I say Gabbert) When you have a shot at a Franchise QB you have to just take it.

I like your order of needs the most... the key word in the whole post is LONG TERM people!!!!! Gaily has already gone on countless radio shows and said that the he and Nix are in it for the long haul not for the short term! As much as I would love a great DT that would help us short term this team is still 2-3 years away from being contenders. In the time it takes to develop a young QB they will be putting the rest of the pieces together. WE SUCKED FOR 11 YEARS NOW AND WE'VE ONLY DRAFTED INSIDE THE TOP 5 ONCE! WE WILL HAVE OUR PICK OF 4 TALENTED QBS, AND IF NIX TRUELY BELIEVES THAT GUY IS OUR FRANCHISE QB I SAY GO FOR IT!!!

So I suppose that Rodgers, Big Ben, Cutler and dare I say Sanchez are all Bums?? I would take any of those 4 to be the Bills future QB. I agree that a good defense wins championships, but a good QB gets you there. I have my reservations about selecting a qb with the #3 pick, But when you have your choice of 4 first round talents you have to take a chance. Well said!! AMEN
