stinky finger Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 yeah because he's 1010109893737271718x worse than McNabb. What is the infatuation with him? He was a horrible QB before his off the field issues. You're missing the point. I don't want either. If you're looking for a seat warmer, Vick would be the guy because he costs less. I don't think McNabb is the answer.
XTC Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 McNabb is the long term answer? Stop with the bandaid mentality. Very loserish. Yep, some guy made the Pro-Bowl this year playing QB at a high level who just happens to be seven years older than McNabb! Sign him up! The man has at least 3-4 good years maybe 5!
inkman Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Maybe not. Don't forget Mcnabb did play at Syracuse which we all know isn't far from Buffalo I really don't see what playing college football 120 miles away from an NFL city makes a player more inclined to go there.
bschmoove Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 What is with all the Bills-Eagles trades. Tired of that really. But I think they'd want to swap first rounders, and our second. Maybe throw Lynch in there and they get the Bills second and Lynch for McRibb. A lot to ask for a guy who smiles when he throws worm burners and plays a mean air guitar.

The man has at least 3-4 good years maybe 5! Not in Buffalo he doesn't. Minny would be his fit. Childress and McNabbs familiarity with the offense plus they're ready to win. McNabb is not the missing piece in Buffalo. We're much further away. I think the question is, those who want McNabb, do you think we can win now? I think we're a good 2 real good drafts and offseason acquisition seasons away.
thebandit27 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Brother, Robbins is old, and appears to have run smack into the wall, and Baluga looks like a 2nd round RT from where I sit. I am hoping that McClain falls to us, but I doubt that he will. Well, I admit I know nothing of this Baluga character, so I can't comment. Bryan Bulaga, on the other hand, is an excellent run blocker that manhandled one of the draft's top pure pass-rushers--GT's Derrick Morgan--in his most recent bowl performance. He is almost certain to be a top 15 pick that could start at LT early on in his career. NFL Network's Mike Mayock ranks him as the 2nd best tackle prospect overall. My issues regarding bills_fan's scenario center around the overall practicality of the moves he lists. Specifically: - If you trade a 2nd and Edwards for McNabb (why would the Eagles want Edwards?), you still need a young QB to groom behind him...someone other than Brian Brohm. Without a 2nd round pick, that becomes more difficult; you'd need to spend a 3rd rounder on a QB, which pushes LB further down the list. - Derrick Johnson is a RFA (thanks to the lack of a CBA extension), and unless we plan to give up our 1st round pick, he's not in play. - I could take or leave Incognito, he's totally hum-drum in my opinion. Just my 1 cent.
wide_right Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 with all the needs bills and lack of depth + no real stars of their own to trade, how can they possiby trade multiple anything for just one player?

Just my 1 cent. I hope you are right about Bulaga. He seems as strong as an ox. but not very nimble from what I have seen. This by no means makes my opinion correct mind you, but he remind me more of a RT than a LT at this point. Hey....we desperately need one of those too (Butler is always hurt), but a #9 seems a bit high. Jmo and I truly hope to be wrong.

nobody Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Lee Hamilton is a sports talk show host in San Diego. Secondly, Adam Shefter reported the same thing Hamilton did in that the Bills did in fact interview Jim Bates. Just because the Bills interviewed Bates doesn't mean he's going to be hired. Thirdly, I know as much as you, and I don't come across like the guy from East Aurora. So what you're saying is is that Shefter gets all his information from listening to Hamilton and other sports talk shows.
Fan in Chicago Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I just heard it on the radio 40 minutes ago on my way home. Lee Hamilton said Bills and Rams offcials have held secret meetings with Eagles officials in Mobile Alabama and have interest in trading for Mcnabb. Take it for what its worth but the last time Lee reported Bills news about Jim Bates interviewing for the DC job he ended up being correct. I hope this is true. Dear Lord ! Please let the Rams have him.
bfw1234 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 if they were to bring in McNabb, sure would be nice to have LeFevour developing as well. Shouldn't put too much hope in Brohm watch your boy LeFevour at senior bowl...I understand he has been super impressive. if we can't get LeFevour, let's sign Colt Brennan or Chase Daniels
ChanOverChin Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Obtaining McNabb for possibly a R2 pick would be a very good move for the Bills at this point. We desperately need to fill the starting QB spot with a more capable player. I'd like to see us get both McNabb and LT M. McNeil prior to the draft. That would take care of two dire needs. Then the Bills could concentrate on drafting the best players available at their next highest need positions. It would make sense at that point to trade down from #9 overall to obtain more high level picks.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Bringing in McNabb makes about as much sense as bringing in Bledsoe did. I don't think Nix and Gailey are that dumb. You've got to get a top QB in the draft or a young backup with potential for development. McNabb is too old and beat up by life in the NFL. He would bring as many negatives as positives. Perfect response
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Plus I'm not a big fan of Campbell's Chunky Soup
dogbyte Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 He found out, because it was a double secret probationary meeting in the Pentagon bomb shelter. But somebody forgot to turn off the video camera.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 The only way I would want this is if we sign Brandon Marshall too. DM needs a good WR and I dont want to draft one in round 1. If Ralph was willing to pay 10 million a year for a coach Im sure he could afford to sign both players
pBills Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I think if I was going to choose an Eagle, I would go after Kolb.
PDaDdy Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 you plug the biggest hole of all with McNabb, if even for 2-3 years. that gives time for a guy like Trent or Brohm to actually learn from a pro-bowl QB. this is how great qb's are developed - by sitting behind seasoned vetrans. one of the only guys it didn't work for was Losman. This is how E. manning, Pennington, Palmer, Rodgers, Rivers, Kolb, etc all developed. Going the route of Flacco, Rothelisberger, Ryan is more unpredictable. a 2nd and 4th for McNabb for 2-3 years with Trent/Brohm behind him or another developing QB. Get a RT or LT in the 1st round and LBs in 3rd and FA. It would hurt us most in not getting a DT or DE which we could really use. But this at least gives us a QB who can win a game for us, which we have not had since, oh well we all know when... What seasoned veteran did Losman sit behind? Are we talking about his rookie year that he missed with a broken leg behind Bledsoe or his second year when he was the starter? Please put the crack down. Trent isn't going to "learn" how to grow balls or an above average NFL arm and in 3 years he hasn't "learned" how to read or beat a 3 - 4 defense.
