Cool. Where'd you get that info from?

1. When exactly did Edwards play 16 games ? 2. How you could read my post and respond with that nonsense is beyond me.

By handful you mean about 60% of the passing plays? All of those 3 wide, 1 step and gun it plays that Fitzy has been so good at are considered "Pistol" offense. There is 1 read and Fitzy guns it, that's Chan's trick for turning Tyler Thigpen and Ryan Firzpatrick into stat monster QBs. He makes it easy for the QB.

Bobby Petrino runs the Pistol offense in Arkansas, which should sound familiar to Bills' fans because that Is Chan's specialty. The Bills run a lot of Pistol offensive sets. The Pistol offense isn't considered an "NFL style" offense, but "NFL style" offenses are turning into wide open pass happy offenses like the Pistol.

Have you considered this silliness?:

You are right some team is likely going to look past the off the field issues and draft him at the end of the first. However a guy that has spent the last 6 months leading up to the draft sitting around and watching football like me is not really a guy you want to take with your once every 20 years, Top 3 Pick in the NFL draft. You need to take a less riskiy option. There are a ton of beastly D-Line man in this year's draft. Marcell Dareus Da'Quan Bowers Akeem Ayers Adrian Clayborn Nick Fairley All of the above players have a lot less isuues than Quinn. If by some stroke of Luck, Quinn is there in the second then you draft him. Taking him in the #3 draft pick is the kind of risk this franchise can't risk. Mallet is going to light up the combine too, as the draft approaches if he declares your going to see his name shoot straight to the top just like Sam Bradford last year, and Mallet is arguably regarded as a pro prospect with a higher ceiling than Sam Bradford.

1. Check my signature. 2. Luck is unlikely to come out in the 2011 draft.

I remember that it was throws to the right, he had like 106.? QB rating, did that mean outside the hashmarks? He hits that seem on the right very often. I don't remember a lot of throws to the sideline outside, and certainly not very good deep and outside. Lee Evans stats kind of tip to the fact that there haven't been a lot of outside throws. It seems like 90% of Lee Evans' catches are when they move him inside.

The way the team played under Fewell I thought there was a possibility that he would end up being the HC. Honestly I started rationalizing Fewell as the HC and thought, could be worse. I wasn't going to burn OBD down, but was hoping they could could get a nice OC. Well that ship has sailed. If the Bills have proven anything the last ten years, they have proven that former Buffalo Bill HCs make outstanding Coordinators.

I'm not saying that Luck or Mallet are Brady or Manning but the point of a Franchise or Elite QB is this. If you put Trent Edwards on the 2010 Colts, the team is 6-10 at best. If you put Trent Edwards on the 2010 Pats, the team is 6-10 at best. I don't think many people that watch football would really argue with the above statements. You replace the same team with an elite, franchise QB, that team is making a Super Bowl run (personally I think the Ravens and Steelers have better overall teams and will likely be in the SuperBowl, and both of those teams are solid in most positions plus they have a Elite Franchise QBs or atleast Flacco is an elite QB in training)

Read until the period. By quoting all the 3rd down stats it seems like you haven't actually watched the games. If you watch the games you'd know what I mean. Mallet's pre snap antics are very similar to Manning's pre-snap antics. People that actually watch Mallet play know this. I'm not comparing their college game play, as I didn't watch many Tennessee games when Manning was in college. I'm saying his pre-snap antics demonstrate that he plays with a lot of confidence and mastery of his offensive system, as compared to Luck's robotic nature. And yes Mallet does have the swagger and IT factor going for him. I watched the Stanford USC game and when Luck crushed that CB, the hair on my arms stood up. That was amazing. That however has nothing to do with Mallet. In the greater sense I agree with you, if by some unlikely turn of events Luck is in the 2011 draft. He is the clear pick. It is very likely Luck will not be there when the Bills pick in 2011. That is the point of this thread.

If owners know they are going to lockout players why would they sign and pay huge money to rookies that won't play? They don't lose anything by waiting until the Lockout is over to sign rookies, they own the rights until February. One of the major issues in the labor negotiations is rookie salary cap, the NFLPA isn't completely opposed to some sort of rookie salary cap. So again why would a team pay the #1 pick 60 mil in guaranteed money with a huge signing bonus then lock the players out? Its very likely that 1st round picks will have to wait awhile to sign a contract and worst case scenario reenter the 2012 draft. Luck has 3.2+ GPA in an Engineering program at Stanford. He is too smart to get caught up in the nonsense. Mallet isn't a rocket scientist but he has a year of eligibility left, who knows if he comes out. Locker will be in the 2011 draft but I hope the Bills stay away from the Bust Locker early.

It's not 2008. If you haven't noticed the line has been pass blocking pretty well. If you get a player that works out at RT or LT then move Bell to RT and add depth at C you now have what could be an above average line with 3 top 3 round drafted players. (1. Wood, 2 Levitre, 3 2011 draft) Mallet is just as mobile as Matt Ryan, Sam Bradford, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady. You don't have 65% completion percentage against the best defenses in college football in the SEC by being a slouch. Fans have turned Luck into something he can never be already. If you actually watch the Stanford games and not read about them I think you're left with a feeling that Luck is definitely a good QB but definitely needs some major development. By 2012 he'll be closer to what fans think he is now. He looks Very robotic, and does what Harbough tells him to do and not much more than that. He hasn't developed the IT factor. If you actually watch the games and see something different I'd be surprised. Mallet however looks like a baby Peyton Manning with all the pre snap non sense his does. Gesticulating and generally carrying on in the backfield to try and confuse much better SEC defenses than the PAC-10. He has mastery of that offense and much more of the IT factor. Keep in mind both can stay in because of the labor situation. The Bills may have the top pick with no QBs to choose from. Then we'll consider ourselves lucky for finding Fitzy in 2010.

If owners know they are going to lockout players why would they sign and pay huge money to rookies that won't play? They don't lose anything by waiting to the Lockout is over to sign rookies, they own the rights until February. Luck has 3.2+ GPA in an Engineering degree at Stanford. He is too smart to get caught up in the nonsense. I guarantee he will be wearing Stanford colors next year.

1 thing early first round busts have in common is less than 60% completion percentage. Locker is not going to finish his college carreer with a greater than 60% completion percentage. Locker early is the kind of risk the franchise cannot take. If Mallet and Luck are off the board (or not in the draft) you go with the best front 7 defender in the draft don't reach on Locker or really any other QB. If Locker falls to the early 3rd which is very likely. Then Locker could be thought about and developed but I would rather take another LB in the 3rd over another sub par QB.

It would be logical. Fitzy can't make outside throws so put Lee where he can get the ball and make a play. Lee in the slot can help him contribute since Roscoe and Stevie J have both out performed Evans on the season.

This is small minded pussi footed nonsense that got this franchise into the mess it is in. Edwards is the kind of QB you get with this line of thinking. If you throw out the stupidity of trading UP to get LOSSman in the LATE first, your line of thinking again, the last time the Bills took a QB in the first round was Jim Kelly. It's been 27 years since the Bills took a QB in the first. Mallet and Luck are both definitely worth it. If Fitzy doesn't keep up the good play it's time this franchise got it's self a franchise QB.

It wasn't Flutie it was The Curse aka Rob Johnson It's another example of how Rob Johnson set the Bills back a decade.

Check my signature.

First, I feel bad for Roscoe he finally got a chance to put it together. The way Chan's offense works, you're going to call me crazy, but if you put Lee Evans in the slot and David Nelson out wide you might not miss a beat. Roscoe has been outperforming Lee this season because this offense uses a lot of quick passes to the slot. I think Lee is better suited for the slot role than David Nelson.

we really need our second time to be a Charm LOSSman\ Mallet or Luck I don't think this franchise can take another wiff in the first round.

You know they haven't drafted a QB since 2004 right? And probably won't draft a QB until 2014.

Right on KOK plus I'd like a link to 1 site that has Mallet as a 3rd round pick? The lowest grade I have ever seen Mallet given is a late first\early second, and even those grades are more outliers than average Mallet going #3 overall is 1000 times more likely than Mallet going in the 3rd round. Its Locker that has the 2nd and 3rd round grades. Check my signature: plus we'd lucky to get Mallet if he were available when we pick, because Luck won't be there until the 2012 draft.

That is correct not because of the reason you're giving but because Luck will be playing for Stanford in 2011 Thats just a silly statement. If Mallet declares he is likely a top 16 pick.

Anyone still believe that teams are constantly doubling Lee Evans? Steve Johnson 41 554 13.5 Roscoe Parrish 33 400 12.1 Lee Evans 29 373 12.9 David Nelson 17 189 11.1
