jahnyc Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Does this make any sense if we take a qb in the first round? Maybe the Bills think the best bet this year is to draft a qb in the later rounds (a development guy with potential). Otherwise, signing Kolb and keeping Jackson does not make any sense to me.
Leelee Phoenix Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Can't wait to see the guaranteed money here. I assume Kolb will be locked here for 2+ years so we can't draft a QB next year.

You let them fight it out at camp. If the rookie can't handle the backup position you're covered.
jumbalaya Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 If Smith & Barkley are gone, we draft BPA and wait for the answer next year.
Kellyto83TD Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Now before the onslaught starts think about it. The guy could flourish in our system. Drew Brees was an average QB on his way out in San Diego (even before the shoulder) then turned into a world beater in basically the same offense we are installing. Are you telling me Marrone didn't have some impute on the guy before us making him an offer? I am not saying he is the answer, but it is strange to me they make a push for a guy who is a former starter, who will expect to compete or even get the job AFTER looking at all of these QB's in the draft. Then again maybe he is a backup an that is the plan, but don't be shocked if they go with Cordarrelle Patterson at #8 instead of QB now or even trade down a couple spots if they get the chance.

RuntheDamnBall Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 History. Drew Brees had an amazing season before the shoulder injury (in 2004, then another good one in 2005). Apples and oranges.

Maybe the Bills think the best bet this year is to draft a qb in the later rounds (a development guy with potential). Otherwise, signing Kolb and keeping Jackson does not make any sense to me. I think it speaks to the fact the Bills don't want to draft a QB at #8, and were concerned that if they didn't they might not end up with a starting calibre QB on the roster come the season opener.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I really like this move. He was a good college QB. Played good in a few games in Philly. It was a death sentence to get traded to the cards. That line was horrible and the running backs weren`t top notch either. Good pickup,he has a lot more skill set than Fitz..
CardinalScotts Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Cardinals trade for him, sign him to a 5 year 64 million dollar contract. Things don't go very well (as 99% of their qb's ) and now he's garbage ? I don't agree I think this could be a great move - the Cardinals offensive line easily the worst in the league.
ChanOverChin Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Fellas, what this means is that the Bills are now not forced to take a QB with the #8 pick overall. That doesn't mean that they won't. It just gives them more options. I like the move. I think Kolb is actually a better QB than Fitz. He had some really big games when he was with the Eagles. I don't want to say this too loud, but I think the Bills think that Barkley is the gem of the draft. It's possible that they think they can get Barkley in R2. The other point I'd like to make is that if I'm Nix and I don't feel the need to take a QB at #8 overall then I'm looking to trade down to acquire more draft picks.
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 If Smith & Barkley are gone, we draft BPA and wait for the answer next year. Would still look at Manuel if there in R2, and one of the other guys if they linger into Round 3. But I think this is a fair strategy. Who knows what they think, though?
Kellyto83TD Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Dont like it, don't read it and sure as heck don't post in it.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Not me. Any QB behind that line would suck. The running game was also putrid. I always liked Kolb.
Bangarang Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I like Kolb better than TJax but I hope OBD isn't going to hype him up as a savior. I'm hoping this is for competition and a fall back if the guy we like in the draft is gone.
The Voice of Truth Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Great, now we can just draft 2 QBs. Geno Smith, Ryan Nassib.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Dont like it, don't read it and sure as heck don't post in it. Soon to be closed...count on it.
