BuffBill Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Ask Raiders fans how they feel about investing in Jamarcus Russel or Browns fans about Brady Quinn. http://www.nfl.com/d...d=round1#round1 For all that he looked all world against us how many Jets fans the last three years have been second guessing investing in trading up for Sanchez http://www.nfl.com/d...y-round-input:1 Josh Freeman had a good year in 2010 not so much last year beats me if he is the real deal. While Flacco looks pretty good now there has been a running fan debate the last few years in town if he is ever going to be a top flight QB http://www.nfl.com/d...d=round1#round1 That is the same in arguably top notch front office that failed on investing a first round pick in Kyle Boller and investing in Elvis Grbac. Even good teams like the Ravens haven't necessarily been good at finding the right QB. It's a crapshoot. As others have pointed out the Bills have invested a lot of resources in trying to get it right. Fitz didn't look like it last week but early last season when us bills fans were going nuts for the Amish Rifle he sure did look like it. Maybe he will be a failure as others have pointed out this team will keep investing in the position if it isn't the right answer. You are reaching pretty far. It would suck to have a QB who started as a rookie, in four seasons has a 44-20 win/loss record, in the playoffs all 4 years, including 2 AFC Championship games and 5 post season victories-that is JOE FLACCO. Fitz couldn't win a Playoff game with the 1970's Steelers, so there is no comparison. As far as Brady Quinn, has anyone including the Browns given him a chance? I remember him starting at least once, and kicking the Bills asses. Getting a QB is more of a crapshoot when you are picking in the bottom third of the draft (I know there are exceptions), then it normally is in the top third where the Bills draft year after year.

Garion Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 My point is not that Flacco is bad it's that fans in Baltimore (and some national media professionals) have been arguing throughout his career about whether or not he is good. Mind you his last two games have looked great but despite that AFC title game showing heres the kind of stuff that is being said http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/50361/is-joe-flacco-among-afcs-most-overrated The way players are framed in the media and in fan discussion can change drastically in the course of a few games or certainly a season. Whether or not you have found the "answer" may have a lot less to do with the person than overall team success. The bills would have been a lot better with Brady at QB this decade but given the coaching and front office disasters do you think Mularkey William Jauron would have had the kind of successes as Bellicheat and that solid front office in NE? Would Brady be considered amongst the greatest if he was on say a team that lacked other talent to get him past the first round of the playoffs. Cutler is alternately a whiny bum and the next great thing depending on where in his career you looked at fan and media opinions. Same guy the whole way. Heck from Tuesday to Friday am this week I think perceptions of his ability have changed a lot.
cantankerous Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 It's not "blind faith" in Fitz...they wanted to give the guy a second full season as a starter to prove himself. If he flops, they'll move on from him. Fitz has started 37 games for the Bills. He started 13 games in 2010. He's proven to be awful. If he flops? Talk about being irrational...
