Guest three3 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) granted, right after he said it fitzpatrick started to play better. but why let the whole world know your intentions? i really hope the bills do not stand by ralph's promise. fitzp can be our trent dilfer, let's fill the rest of the holes on the roster and not reach for a qb just because ralph said the franchise qb would be taken in this draft Edited April 29, 2011 by three3
Haven Moses Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Ralph is an evil genius. Leader of the smoke screen.
scribo Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Didn't he make that remark a good seven months ago?
karl malones other son Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Im supposing it was out of frustration. I will ask this though; Did the Andre Reed tweet force the Vikes to draft Ponder? I think it may've. And if it did, its twice in a row (Jim Kelly/Tebow) that a team reached (IMO) on a QB based on reported interest from the Bills.

Alphadawg7 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 granted, right after he said it fitzpatrick started to play better. but why let the whole world know your intentions? i really hope the bills do not stand by ralph's promise. fitzp can be our trent dilfer, let's fill the rest of the holes on the roster and not reach for a qb just because ralph said the franchise qb would be taken in this draft Wait, so you expect the Bills to build one of the top 5, if not the best defense in the history of the NFL? Do you also expect us to find the next greatest TE of all time, a superior OL and a 2000 yard RB to go along with the greatest D of this generation? Yeah...thats much easier than just finding a better QB...LMAO
Ramius Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Its not exactly a big secret that the Bills were looking for a QB. No one in the league was surprised by that comment.

Just as you advocated a couple of weeks ago? Oh, wait, because that would be dumb, just like this topic.

Oh, wait, because that would be dumb, just like this topic. you will be eating crow in a couple seasons when tebow is a pro bowler. tebow is better than cam and every other qb in this draft. i see a ton of busts in this qb class

And the greatest TE in NFL history, a beast of an OL with a bruising 2000 yard RB. Trent barely got there with all of that plus one of the nastiest defenses in history... Its is VASTLY more difficult to try and win the SB by building a great D and ignoring your below average QB. Not to mention, to it takes one man to play QB, so you only have to be right about a single player...it takes many good to great players to make a great D making it much more difficult to not only build that D, but to keep it in tact as you build it in this era of free agency.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Who doesn't want a franchise QB? Maybe there wasn't one worth drafting? I want a new Lamborghini but I can't find one for $20,000. PTR
nucci Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 granted, right after he said it fitzpatrick started to play better. but why let the whole world know your intentions? i really hope the bills do not stand by ralph's promise. fitzp can be our trent dilfer, let's fill the rest of the holes on the roster and not reach for a qb just because ralph said the franchise qb would be taken in this draft If the Bills were going to reach for a QB, they would have picked one last night. Before Fitz started to play better we really needed a QB. Ralph just said what we were all thinking. It was pretty obvious at the time.
UpperDeck Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 you will be eating crow in a couple seasons when tebow is a pro bowler. tebow is better than cam and every other qb in this draft. i see a ton of busts in this qb class I didn't even know that Tebow liked bowling let alone going pro.

Ralph just said what we were all thinking. It was pretty obvious at the time. but there was NOTHING to gain from it. so why do it? keep it private if you are sending your gm on the scouting trails in search of a qb to draft in 2011. a lot to lose by tipping your hand, absolutely nothing to gain.

Agree but nothing to lose either. To me it wasn't a big deal. Every team in the league knew we needed a QB.
