pandamonium Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Any chance we'll have a Franchise QB in the next 3-5 years (and please don't say that Fitz is it). Growing very tired of mediocrity. Tired of seeing top tier QBs guide their respective teams to the playoffs year in and year out while the Bills sit at home. Say what you want about the Bills other team needs, but they will never be better than average until they have a true Franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisonbrigade Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Fitz is better than half the QB's in the league. He is better than Tebow and Flaco, they made the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalos#1Fan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 look at Alex Smith, everyone labeled him as a bust. He is still a mediocre QB and a system product. It just goes to show you don't need a franchise QB to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR I think there is a store. It's near the apple store in the mall. Franchise qbs are in the back. They go on clearance in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's not like you can just pick one out at your local college , but i do think that there are a couple of guys that are coming out this year that are going to be good NFL QB's . ' I just hope if we do take one that his name isn't Ryan , i think there are others that offer a lot more that we can take in a late round like 3rd or 4th that can sit for at least a year & get him ready to just walk in & take over !!

pandamonium Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Fitz is better than half the QB's in the league. He is better than Tebow and Flaco, they made the playoffs. ... and worse than half of the QBs in the league. And we're about as good as any 8-8 team. Unfortunately, we don't play in the NFC, so 8-8 won't cut it. Over the last 20 years, I can name two teams that won the SB that didn't have a franchise QB at the helm. Why wouldn't you give up a lot to get Luck who everyone seems to think is the 2nd coming and will likely be a top tier QB in the league for years to come. The Colts put Peyton Manning on a crappy team and he helped turn that organization around. As a FA, would you come to Buffalo to play with Luck or Fitz? Not to mention the fact that he'll single-handedly sell out the Ralph. Sure, you can say we have other holes to fill, but who doesn't. NE's defense has been abysmal this year, but they have a franchise QB and are playing in the SB (again). I'd be willing to wait another year or two for the turnaround if I felt like there was a light at the tunnel. With FItz, the only light is a train coming the other way with every other team on board - we're still headed in the wrong direction (as evidenced by the number of playoff appearances this century).

Snopple Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 You never know where your franchise quarterback is going to come from. It could be that first round pick every team in the league would sell their soul for. But it could also be a sixth round pick like Tom Brady. Or it could be that undrafted free agent like Tony Romo. You just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Fitz is better than half the QB's in the league. He is better than Tebow and Flaco, they made the playoffs. I agree with that, put Fitz on that Ravens team and they win home field. Even Ed Reed wants Flacco to get the ball out quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Remember how angry everyone was when the Bills didn't take Jimmy Clausen? I was angry they didn't draft Ryan Mallet in the 3rd round when he was still there. I want to see how good he turns out to be when he gets his chance.

thebandit27 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah, Fitz is better than Flacco, no doubt. Flacco is an average at best QB on a very good team, he is the weak link. The weak link that put the game-winning TD throw right into the hands of his double-covered receiver, who promptly dropped it. Sorry, but after yesterday, I can't call Flacco the weak link. He put his team in position to win (or at the very least tie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
