Bud Adams Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I was blasted when I went ballistic over the Graham pick right after he was taken. I wrote then that Wilson would be a franchise QB within a few years, and I'm standing by it. Has nothing to do with one preseason game. I generally like this draft, but still hate the Graham pick over Wilson. Sorry. BA
zow2 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Sure wish we had a Russell Wilson type "project" sitting behind Fitz. He does look really good from one game. Our backup QB situation is weak right now.
truth on hold Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 good call. every year like amnesia i forget dont believe draft pick hype... good thing I ignored it for fantasy ball with cam newton last year haha Lol @ equating 5'10" Wilson to 6'5" heisman trophy winner newton. Actually make that double lol lol
ddaryl Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I have to laugh at those people who always think they know better. Wake me when Wilson is doing it consistently in regular season and TJ Graham is a total bust
Homey D. Clown Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Told you guys...I knew this guy was the real deal and Chan could do so much with him. Its all good, athletic QBs with big arms and accuracy on the run come along all the time Really? you can make that "Real Deal" leap after one preseason game?
biglukes Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Really? you can make that "Real Deal" leap after one preseason game? It's happening all over the place. WGR is ready to say the Bills are going to lose to Indy and the Colts could win 9 games basefon Luck's 2 quarters and Indy beating up on St. Louis yesterday.
snamsnoops Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 O wait it's pre-season. Hmm i think i will wait on calling TJ a bust and Wilson a sure 1st ballot HOF'er

By the time that game is played I doubt the Bills are favored to win that game.
Doc Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Every preseason one rookie has a better-than-average game against backups and more than a few start freaking out the Bills didn't pick him. Last year it was Mallett, and he's now third string with the Patriots behind Brian Hoyer. Wait until this weekend and he'll likely have a bad game. And BJ Coleman? Edited August 14, 2012 by Doc
biglukes Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 By the time that game is played I doubt the Bills are favored to win that game. Yeah because Fitz sucks, we know. We've heard it 1000 times.
You herd it hear last Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 jeez, and I was demonized as a Badger homer if I even brought his name up...
djp14150 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I live in the seattle area so I know a think or to about what is going on here. Wilson has been strong in the poreseason which means he will likely be #2 to Flynn then see what happenes this season. Remember he was going against 2nd/3rd stringers so its hard to read how good he will be against the top defenses.

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I watched intently last night as NFLN ran the Hawks/Titans game and I have to tell you that I was impressed with Russell Wilson. So much so that I remembered a few here on TBD wanting to take him in the draft and me quietly scawffing at the idea. Well, I was wrong. The kid looks to be very good and WILL start in the NFL someday soon, IMO. He's like a minature Cam Newton, but faster, and I think a stronger arm. Thoughts? Tim- Some of us wanted Wilson here very badly. ...please know that my middle name is Someofus.
FleaMoulds80 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Colt Brennan had an amazing first game in preseason. 123 yds and 2 TDs? Just saying...It's freaking preseason.
reddogblitz Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Russel Wilson had a good game Saturday. but that one TD was a dead duck jump ball that Braylon Edwards went up and got. Think Donald Jones would have come down with that? His TD run was a mis direction bootleg fake against 3rd or 4th teamers. WOW !! He did well, but crowning his A$$ may be a little premature.
The Senator Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 So a rookie QB comes in to play the 2nd half of the first preseason game, his team already leading 10-3, and puts up some decent numbers against Tennessee's scrubs. The local press in Seattle goes nuts over the guy. After 30 minutes of football against the 9-7 Tennessee Titan's scrubs that will be cut in two weeks. And it's all that is necessary for a few delusional TSW QB experts to annoint the guy "the real deal", a future HOFer, and whine that Nix should have drafted him over TJ Graham
KRT88 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) 2nd round was too early but I wish we would have been able to grab him in round 3, but didn't he get picked before the Bills selected? Living in NC I can tell you, he's atheltic, VERY accurate and smart. You don't have to be 6-4 with a rocket arm. Oops, it was 6 picks after we picked TJ, and he was the only pick I wasn't overly thrilled with. Too early to say, but I am thinking I'd rather have Wilson over Graham but what the hell do I know.

They didn't have to wait for his first pre-season game against scrubs to be convinced. This is just their first "I told you so" moment. GO BILLS!!!
