Justice Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Great news for us! A QB will fall to the Bills, now. Either Barkley or Geno. I'd take either one. If the Bills don't use their first rounder on a QB I'd like to take EJ in the second. In the third I'd take Bray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The report has been ammended to a 2nd this year, and a mid round next year. I assume the final round will be determined by his performance in KC this year. Still WAAAAAYYYY to high, IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Not sure this is really great news for Buffalo. Arizona would have been "better," since KC wasn't going to use the no. 1 overall on a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher Bills Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 hopefully Geno smith will fall to 8 now that KC has a Qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona would have been "better," since KC wasn't going to use the no. 1 overall on a QB. You think? Reid loves Qb's. He got Mcnabb in his first draft, a selection the Eagles fans hated at first. Reid believes, as well he should, he can take a QB and make him great or good depending on wht he has to work with. Reid had way more to look at and know what he was getting in Smith. This is not good for the Bills because it means a bad team in the AFC just got better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he makes it past Philly maybe we start calling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 What if SF trades a few of their 15 picks to NYJESTS for Revis and they send them and their 1st to (name your team above us) and they pick Geno? Could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsrhody Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well the chiefs are definitely better right away.. good news for us too with 1 less team looking for a QB. I'm glad the bills didnt give up a 2nd for Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsguy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Either way, as long as its not Buffalo that's great news for us. Great trade for two teams: Buffalo and San Fran. He wouldn't be much of an upgrade over Fitz. Bad trade for KC long term. They gave up two premium picks looking for short term improvement.

NoSaint Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Football guys confirms trade to KC at 1:19 today in email I earlier said nothing is confirmed til papers are filed but I'd be amazed if anyone tops this. I imagine both sides wanted this kept quiet to avoid this very reaction. Puts pressure on kc to back off the offer a bit possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Those are numbers in a vacuum. Fitzpatrick cannot complete 70% of his passes in his dreams. Smith did this past year. And Smith didn't just throw fewer interceptions. He threw 29 fewer interceptions in 2011-12. Even if you prorate Smith's stats out to 16 games in 2012, Fitz still would have thrown 25 more INTs over the past two years. That is A LOT of giving away the ball. If you want, you can claim that Fitz's team was down more often, and he had to try to make things happen, but then you have to view his yardage and TDs totals through that same "garbage time" lens. I don't see how they are close given their performances over the past two years. Fitz has had 5-8 games of great play, buffered by turns of mediocrity and, at times, pure disaster. Smith looked the part of a caretaker last year, came into his own in the playoffs, was improving this season, then lost his job to injury. Over their careers, yes, the numbers look similar, but I look at the trajectory. Not an argument for Fitz at all, but I think Smith is a slight upgrade at best over Fitz. Fitz can't throw deep, guess what Smith's biggest flaw is? Smith played on a team with the #1 defense and top 10 picks at wr and te. Harbaugh is an amazing QB coach and the 49ers run the ball on 3rd and long yardage all the time. A ton of QBs would succeed in that situation. The Bills situation has been much, much worse. If Smith was the Bills' QB, he would have been run out of town like we're running Fitz out of town. I think the Chiefs gave up way too much but they are in a win now mode. But all in all, I'm glad they did because it increases the chances of Barkley or Smith falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But be that as it may, if KC is in a win now mode, what mode are the Bills in after the last 13 years of sucking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now we don't have to worry about them grabbing one in the second round either. Excellent point. Everyone should read Tim Graham's article about the Niners' 15 picks...sounds like they don't plan to use them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
