I hated how often he ran out of the gun before ??‍♂️

But he didn’t cut them. He wheeled and dealed them

Cookie Gilchrist was a FB. He’s number 1

He traded Darby, Watkins, Ragland, Dareus, and he also traded for Benjamin. That’s a lot considering he hasn’t even been in Buffalo a year

That’s the thing, do they feel comfortable waiting for the chance that the QB they want will be there at 21? I totally agree with your opinion though. I’m always on board for trading back and acquiring more picks. It all depends on free agency really

You can’t say he “sucks”. Is he worth the money he’s going to get? Probably not. But he’s probably better than any QB we’ve had since Bledsoe’s first year with the team

https://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/2017-buffalo-bills-all-22-in-review-quarterbacks Recommendations for 2018 1) Do everything in their power to secure a first round QB they believe in - We can sit here and discuss the virtues of trying to find a defensive tackle, a linebacker, a running back — or really anything else, but it’s all secondary to finally finding an answer to the question that has evaded the franchise since Jim Kelly retired. Who will be their next franchise quarterback? That must be the focal point of the 2018 NFL Draft — and you’d have to believe that it is for GM Brandon Beane as well. The trouble is, in order for them to do it and trade all the way up into the top six, it will likely cost them a great deal, especially if they’re trading into the top three or four picks. Would they be able to stomach the idea of trading both first-round picks, perhaps next year’s first-round pick, and something else to sweeten the deal? That might just be what it takes to get themselves the young quarterback they truly believe in. So whether it’s UCLA’s Josh Rosen, USC’s Sam Darnold, Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, or Wyoming’s Josh Allen that is the apple of their eye (and I’ll be writing more about that as we go along in the offseason), if the Bills want to secure that player, they are likely going to need to move all the way up to get the job done. And if there’s any GM that can do it, the wheeling and dealing Brandon Beane certainly isn’t afraid of the task. 2) Make the Tyrod Taylor decision by March 16 - In an ideal world, the Bills could wait until after the draft to make the Tyrod Taylor decision to see how the draft and free agency all shake out before making a firm decision on their own 2018 identity at quarterback. However, this isn’t an ideal world this offseason for them, and they have a deadline to make the decision on Taylor. On March 16, Taylor has a $6 million roster bonus due that becomes fully guaranteed both in the money they have to pay him, and against the salary cap. At the present moment, if the Bills were to walk away from Taylor today, they would be on the hook for $8.64 million against the cap. If March 16 comes and goes, that increases their minimal cap hit for Taylor to $14.64 million if they were to part ways with him. With that in mind, that puts a bright red circle around Friday, March 16 as the day they must make a decision to either trade or release him. And at this point, you’d have to think the odds favor the Bills moving on ahead of the 2018 season — but in the NFL, you can never truly rule out anything. 3) If Tyrod is moved, wait until after the draft and sign a veteran- Obviously this is all dependent on the ultimate decision they make on Tyrod Taylor, but even if they are able to secure a potential young quarterback to be their future starter, they’re going to need a veteran presence on the roster to at least be the backup as they continue the development of Nathan Peterman as a potential backup of the future. The reasons for waiting until after the draft is important, too. If they were to get into the early market for players like Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, or whoever else for the short-term, that would cost them so much that it would cancel out the high 2019 compensatory pick they could be receiving for losing E.J. Gaines via free agency this offseason. Plus, if the goal is to eventually turn the keys over to the young draft pick, signing a player to that contract for anywhere from 0 to a full year’s worth of starts doesn’t seem all that worth it to me. In my opinion, the better course of action would be to wait until after the draft (in the hopes that they land the young quarterback) and then to sign a moderately priced veteran that the young player can work with on his development of learning how to be a professional quarterback. There is also the option of the Bills waiting to see who gets released from their current contracts too because that wouldn’t count against their compensatory formula for 2019. Either way, the Bills must first make the decision on Taylor and then have a direct plan of attack to accomplish all of their goals.

I was so excited when we hired him. God awful...

There are teams that have more holes than others to fill. And I’m not sure if you know this or not, but not every player drafted makes it in the league. So if you have a lot of holes to fill, and you have a bad draft, you’re gonna have a bad time

5 teams that need to the most? ??‍♂️

I’d totally bring him in on a one year “prove it” deal. Kid can flat out ball when he’s on his game

They accomplished that goal even after trading several prominent players like Sammy Watkins and Marcell Dareus. They are in prime position to upgrade their roster this spring as they look to take the next step. They own two first-round picks (courtesy of the trade with the Chiefs in last year's draft) and two-second round picks (courtesy of the Sammy Watkins trade). They need to identify their quarterback of the future in this draft class, and they have the ammunition to move up if their desired target starts to drop down the board. They also need to add some talent up front on the defensive side of the ball. this doesn’t really tell us anything that we don’t already know. But it’s an interesting read in regards to the other teams listed

Yeah I’d hate to land the best QB available. That would totally suck

That’s definitely old school! I’ve heard of it but a little before my time

Showing your age a little bit here. I used to come home after school and watch old Saturday night live episodes on Comedy Central. The early 90’s was the best era in my opinion...

/thread

I totally expect dinner on the table when I get home from work. So far it hasn’t worked out. This probably won’t either

He isn’t the GM though....

What

It’s fun to pretend sometimes

I definitely see what you’re saying. And even though I would rather stay put where we’re at and draft for other needs, I would **** my pants if we moved up to draft one of these coveted QBs and I would probably get right online and order their jersey. There’s nothing I want more than a franchise QB. A guy that will be a top 10 QB for the next 10+ years. I’m just skeptical about selling off all our assets to move up into the top 5. 1999 was a “strong” QB class as well and look at how most of them turned out...

We’re more than just a QB away. With the exception of the secondary, our defense was pretty dreadful last season. No pass rush whatsoever. The run defense got gashed pretty bad through parts of the season. Two of our defensive tackles were ranked dead last in league. And also if we move up to take a QB, there’s no guarantee that he’s going to make it in the NFL. All these guys look like studs coming out of college and then some don’t do **** in the pros. Look what Washington gave up to draft RG lll.

The biggest question right now is what will we do in free agency. All this talk about drafting a QB is really just a waste of space. Will we go after Cousins? Sam Bradford? Nick Foles? If we sign someone to be our starter then there is very little chance that we move up in the draft. With all the holes we have I hope we stay put and draft defense

Yeah I was goIng to own the comment and take the loss but I should probably just delete it. I’m dumb

I’m so sorry for not knowing that Zay is short for Isaiah. Anymore explanation needed, bud?
