Astrobot Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I have already looked at lots of video of draftable QB's, and realized, "I'm going at this backwards! Let me look at what Chan and Nix are saying when they talk about players and QB's, then I'll have a better idea of what the Bills would be looking for in April 2013." When they speak of player qualities they value, Chan and/or Nix have mentioned: 1. maturity 2. chemistry 3. limits turnovers 4. efficient in the red zone 5. moves on (stays "level", not too emotional--the AntiCutler) 6. can run 7. slides! 8. can play in the elements 9. responds to adversity 10. studious What other qualities would you add?
Just in Atlanta Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) The toughness of Jim Kelly. The smarts of Fitzpatrick. The completeness of Rodgers. The tactical expertise of P. Manning. The swagger of Joe Namath The mobility of Griffin. Jim Fitzrodmanath III. ...Or a Fitzpatrick who can throw good. Edited October 15, 2012 by Just in Atlanta
K-9 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 The only other quality I would as is... Geno Smith. Smart Poised Leader Diligent (studies film like a fiend) Accurate Limits turnovers Excellent mechanics Strong arm that can stretch a defense GO BILLS!!!

NFLBighits Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Well Hello Accuracy N hello Geno Smith but thinking fitzpickatrick finally gets going to save his job N ship but here's to hoping

See #12 of the Green Bay Packers. That is all.

Would be awesome but Buddy may need another cornerback first. He loves him some cornerback
Dragonborn10 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Ben Rothlisberger With or without the rape charges?
Just in Atlanta Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 This is my design!! Behold This is my design!! Behold And the stoner aloofness of Jay Cutler.
Dragonborn10 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 The only prerequisite for a Buffalo QBis adequate arm strength. After that give me smart, accurate, and durable. Could care less about running ability.
JohnC Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Logan Thomas is a Ben Roethlisberger type of qb. He has size (6'6', 260), arm strength and accuracy. He is very well respected by his teammates and coaches. There are many qbs who are going to be more prolific in the college game but his physical attributes and skills easily translate to the pro game. His stats are going to be somewhat down this year because his OL is very young and his skill position players are relatively inexperienced. In the next draft Nix needs to draft a high end qb prospect with his first pick. We certainly don't need to go after a retread vet or a lower round long term developmental qb. This is the year to address a desperate need that hasn't been addressed in the past generation. Until the qb position is upgraded the Bills will continue to be a second-rate team.
Florida Gator 14 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Bills QB: Rob Johnson's ability Doug Flutie's height Drew Bledsoe's mobility Ryan Fitzpatrick's accuracy Trent Edward's decision making Brian Brohm's "potential" JP Losman's hair We did say we were designing a Bills QB, right?
Astrobot Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 And comes with the WR's of the early 90 Bills and SJ. That's what I like to know when I submit the Bills' Positional Needs to DraftTek. I have WR as our 2nd-highest need right now, with OLB and ILB as our P3. One WR would be a hard-nosed, feisty, athletic Andre Reed type, and another would be the smooth, cool-as-a-cuke Lofton type (if that's not Nelson). I think we have our Don Beebe (Graham).

So you would NOT be in favor of taking a second QB in late rounds that has developmental qualities? Does everyone agree?
