26CornerBlitz Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/14820 Interesting take on Buddy Nix from RF365.com Thanks for the info, good reading indeed.
tennesseeboy Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 hey...don't tell me what you did as a scout for the Chargers who didn't go to the superbowl while you were assistant GM or superscout, tell me what you are doing for the Bills. I'll believe it when I see it. Just win baby.
lets_go_bills Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Hope springs eternal. That's been our mantra for 10 years now, right? I'm optimistic though. They key is how well we can draft the next three years. We HAVE to get a franchise QB in place soon.
Bronc24 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 The Chargers did not draft Rivers....they picked 1st overall, drafted Eli, and then traded him to the Giants for Rivers and picks.
lets_go_bills Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 The Chargers did not draft Rivers....they picked 1st overall, drafted Eli, and then traded him to the Giants for Rivers and picks. They did draft Rivers. It was a shrewd move that landed them an additional draft pick which turned out to be Merriman. They wanted Rivers all along.
Jerry Jabber Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 They did draft Rivers. It was a shrewd move that landed them an additional draft pick which turned out to be Merriman. They wanted Rivers all along. That turned out good for SD. If Nix can transform Buffalo like he helped do in SD, then we'll be in great shape once again.
DarthICE Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 ' it’s a safe bet to say that Nix knows a thing or two about QB’s. Most recently, Nix & Gailey competed with other teams for the services of Donovan McNabb and offered a contract extension to McNabb if the deal were to take place. It’s clear that the Bills know their franchise QB is not currently on the roster and are trying to find one. ' It is past time for Brohm and Edwards lover to understand this.
Green Lightning Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/14820 Interesting take on Buddy Nix from RF365.com Good read. I have to agree on this take on Nix and QB's. Given what the FO has said about solving the QB issue before the draft, if no trade or deal is made, I have to believe Buddy's going to go QB at #9. I'm not crazy about Claussen, but at this point, I have to just say "In Buddy we trust." If he' sold on Claussen, I'm going to go with it.

Really? 2004 - Round 1 Sel # Player Position School Team 1 Eli Manning QB Mississippi San Diego Chargers 2 Robert Gallery T Iowa Oakland Raiders 3 Larry Fitzgerald WR Pittsburgh Arizona Cardinals 4 Philip Rivers QB North Carolina State New York Giants I'll have to e mail NFL.com and tell them they have it wrong.
DarthICE Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 There are no Brohm and Edwards lovers. Sure there are. For anyone to think either of these clowns is an NFL calibre starting QB there must be some kind of a love fest going on.

Lol. They knew Manning would not sign with them. They knew the Giants wanted him. They knew they wanted Rivers. The picked Manning to swing the trade and land the pick (Rivers) they really wanted while picking up an extra pick along the way. There's long been debate over who "really" went number one, but everyone knows how if went down.
Jerry Jabber Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Agreed. Same if he trades for someone. It doesn't look like Claussen will be picked by the Bills if he is available. So does Buddy trade for a stop-gap QB like Campbell or Bulger, or will he pick up a QB in the later rounds of the draft?

Conversely, if the FO is not sold on Claussen, I can see them staying put with the QBs we have and using the picks in shoring up the lines + adding a WR. ie. giving all the tools for Edwards to succeed. After all, Nix has been honest in saying that they cannot fill all holes in one offseason (I paraphrase ofcourse).

After all, Nix has been honest in saying that they cannot fill all holes in one offseason (I paraphrase ofcourse). I'm glad Nix said that, of course most fans will be expecting an instant winner, but it's going to take 2-3 seasons for us to have a solid, competitive team again. I'd rather Nix build the Bills into a long-term winner, even if that means another year or two of missing the playoffs, compared to what Donahoe tried doing which was a build an instant winner that didn't work.
