John from Riverside Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Offensive Line and linebacker - Fitz was NOT the problem today......he converts 3rd downs and makes this offense actually look NFL caliber. While he throws a bad ball her and there we also have WR's who DROP balls that hit them in the hands still. Also....he was under duress all game. - I support D. Bell.....but he got his @ss handed to him today....he really did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCBongo Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 How about D line? We must get better pressure on the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 linebacker.... In a 3-4 defense you get pressure on QB's with your linebackers. Kelsay is not a linebacker.....oh my god I cant beleive they gave him a contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 If we have the #1 overall, we're going QB. Just like we should have never drafted Donte so early (even though he has played well lately), you dont reach for a need so early. We got BPA with round 1, and then address the line and D after. Keep in mind that even if we have the 3rd pick, that means our second round is #35. Basically 2 first round picks. No need to reach early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would be fine with keeping Fitz, he just needs to find a way to fix these late game mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Unfortunately John there is no OT or LB worth a top 5 pick my man. Franchise QB is the way to go, grab one while you can. I like Fitz, but the beauty of grabbing a franchise QB is we will not have to throw him to the wolves with Fitz around. Fitz can be the new age Frank Reich.

BuffaloBaumer Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Not a chance is there a position other than QB worthy of the #1 pick...Hopefully Carolina won't need a QB because they are MUCH worse than the Bills. Mallet will QB this team to the playoffs in 2012 if we get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats three close games in which he has failed. He throws a lot of errant passes too. He is a big upgrade but he is also a major reason as to why we lost the last three weeks.

He is also the reason we have any offense. Brohm, Trent, LEvi are not even close to this guy. We would not have been in the last three games if it was not for him. I know he makes horrible Ints late in the game, but actually like watching bills games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew in CA Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 The mantra of Bills fans: "trade down! trade down! trade down!" Yet, everyone seems to forget that it takes two to make a trade. Exactly– especially when it comes to the first pick in the draft. The only way someone would trade up to get it is if there were a definitive sure-thing sitting at #1– in which case the Bills should draft him. The money being shelled out for top-5 draft picks is so ridiculous now that teams consider it somewhat of a curse. There was a whole article about it in Sports Illustrated a few weeks ago.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I disagree. this is a QB driven league and the best teams have elite QB's. If you have the #1 overall pick you have a chance at selecting a special talent that will become a pro-bowler and solidfy your franchise for the next decade. If you want to address LB or OT with the 1st pick in the second round or heck, spend the rest of our picks on the line thats fine with me. Is fitz a serviceable QB? sure. Will he win you games? maybe. Fitz is a feel good story but he isn't the long term answer. Sure he is making this season exciting at least for the offense. But having that #1 pick is a rare opportunity to secure a rare commodity in this league. I want the next Peyton Manning / Drew Brees / Tom Brady / Aaron Rodgers. And if any QB in college right now has a chance to be a player on that level we better not miss with the #1 overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kkspike Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 If bills are smart we should draft Tyron Jackson cornerback out of s. Miss division2. Now I know what you thinking no way, but read on. That gun charge should be dropped.also I know he needs knee surgery so he will be out for 2011. This kid can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 RW will order Nix to take a QB plain and simple. And that'll occur even if Luck doesn't come out. So much depends on the team needs versus what's available and at this early juncture, there will be plenty of pass rushers to select from. For my money if a top QB isn't available and it appears there isn't a dominant OLT, take the best pass rusher who can play 43DE or 34OLB. But that would get the GM fired, because RW knows all about NFL personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 you need an elite QB in this league. Having the top pick is a great chance to get one. If you don't have one already, you take one. Fitz is not elite. Therefor it has got to be a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I disagree with understanding the value of the #1 overall pick and making sure that the value is worth the player and not to be a douchebag, but Brees and Brady were not drafted in the 1st round, let alone #1 overall....just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this so difficult for people to understand. This is about the third time I've posted this sentence in a thread in as many weeks: There are no Bruce Smith's or Lawrence Taylor's or even Julius Peppers or Mario Williams in this draft. Luck is the way to go...and it has nothing to do with how well or how bad Fitz plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
