cage Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Hmm,... Nix shouldn't have said that... it basically locks him into drafting a QB w/ the 8th pick. If there are 2-3 Franchise guys, he better pick one of them before someone else does. This is the kind of comment that will be on his Buffalo epitaph if he doesn't get one...
Bangarang Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Nix and company have put so much work on this QB class. Everything being said tells me it will be a QB at 8. I think Barkley is their guy Edited April 17, 2013 by Bangarang
R. Rich Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 "If you don't already have a franchise QB, you don't pass one up." -Jacksonville in 2011 -NY Jets in 2009 -Cincinnati in 1999

Bangarang Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Smoke and mirrors. I don't believe we go QB @ #8. Why would Nix hype up this QB class if he was going to wait until 41 to take one? Wouldn't he be saying the opposite?
R. Rich Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Question is.... is there a franchis QB in this draft? Depends. Is there someone who may develop into or even happen upon the scene (ala Kaepernick or Wilson)? Perhaps. Is there a, "You'd be foolish to pass 'em up in the first round" type like Griffin and Luck last year? I don't believe there is.
mrags Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 The entire football world knows we need a QB. It's no suprise. Just sayin.

KitchenerKaizer Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Oh come on, we all know the Bills are taking another RB this year :S

HeHateMe Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Hmm,... Nix shouldn't have said that... it basically locks him into drafting a QB w/ the 8th pick. If there are 2-3 Franchise guys, he better pick one of them before someone else does. This is the kind of comment that will be on his Buffalo epitaph if he doesn't get one... What did you expect him to say... "we don't feel there are any Franchise QBs in this draft"... He also wouldn't be wise to say there is only 1... when he sits at the 8th overall pick. Regardless I don't have any faith in Nix and I feel he should have been fired along with Gailey. Truth is no one knows which one of these guys is going to be a "Franchise" guy.

Kelly the Dog Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 How often are there 2-3 real franchise QBs in draft class? PTR Last year. Of course, Nix didn't really say franchise quarterbacks let alone "real" franchise quarterbacks.

Remember when Mark Sanchez was the Jets' franchise? PTR No. Because he never was. He never even played well. Ever. Some ill informed homers may have called him that or hoped for it but he has never been good. If you don't think Luck, RGIII and Russell Wilson barring injury are not franchise quarterbacks you have no idea what one is. And again, nix didn't say that. He said long time starters.

The Big Cat Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Nix and company have put so much work on this QB class. Everything being said tells me it will be a QB at 8. I think Barkley is their guy I firmly believe he's the safest pick.
Maddog69 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Smoke and mirrors. I don't believe we go QB @ #8. I disagree completely. I think it is almost a 100% guarantee that the Bills select a QB at 8. Nix and company have put so much work on this QB class. Everything being said tells me it will be a QB at 8. I think Barkley is their guy I'm curious to know why you think Barkley is their guy??? I like Barkley, but I haven't seen much linking him to Buffalo.
Kelly the Dog Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 I disagree completely. I think it is almost a 100% guarantee that the Bills select a QB at 8. I think it is almost a 100% guarantee that may not be true. Put it this way: If the Bills have only one QB who is rated in the top 15 overall, which is quite possible, and that QB is gone at #8, which is also quite possible, and they have 2-3 players at positions of need in their top 5-8 overall who are still available at #8, I would bet anything they take one of those 2-3 guys and not the QB. The only exception to that rule, IMO, if the two players, rated 5-8 overall, are available at #8 in a position of need happen to be Womack and Cooper, the guards. I highly doubt we take an OG. But I also highly doubt that both Womack and Cooper are in the top 10 on our board. They may be worthy of it and would be on other boards, I just don't think Buddy rates OGs that highly.
