Jerry Jabber Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Will next year be 15 years of missing the playoffs? Glad I didn't line up for One Bills Drive kool aid this offseason. Should be interesting to listen to the homers say how much harder the Bills have been playing under Marrone... this is a young team...give the new coaches a chance...you just gotta Billieve!! Heard it and seen it over and over...new faces, just same ol' schitty Bills year after year.
RyanC883 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 If we don't draft a QB in the first round or trade for Big Ben I guarantee that next year is year 15. The FO sucks.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 If we don't draft a QB in the first round or trade for Big Ben I guarantee that next year is year 15. The FO sucks. Didn't we draft a QB in the first round this year?
KGUNBILLS Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Didn't we draft a QB in the first round this year? I think we drafted a bad decision making, ball throwing running back. Or something like that. Maybe a running back in a qb disguise. How much fun could we have with this?
BuffaloBill Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Didn't we draft a QB in the first round this year? The answer is painfully obvious. The issue is that we may very well be in a position of having to draft another QB in the next draft. The complexion and results of the past 13 years will not change until the Bils address this position.
BuffOrange Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) If we don't draft a QB in the first round or trade for Big Ben I guarantee that next year is year 15. The FO sucks. Yup. It will also mark the 18th straight year without a franchise QB. Hey what a coincidence! Edited November 11, 2013 by BuffOrange

The complexion and results of the past 13 years will not change until the Bils address this position. exactly. We have no idea what EJ is, nor will we by next draft. So, I would draft another QB in the first round, and keep doing so. What is maddening is that this FO passed over Russel Wilson, and then took EJ in the 1st round this year. It's like they can do a decent job of drafting/finding any other position besides QB.
Dan Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Agreed. Keep drafting QBs until you get a true starter. If more than one develops, you have someone to trade. But, as long as we have QB play like we've had this season, especially today, we're just wasting seasons.

He will not throw his mentor Buddy Nix who drafted EJM under the bus. Plus the Bills pay a rookie wage to Manuel for two more years and this makes the bean counters in the Motor City very happy. After the season I expect everyone from Russ Brandon on down to say that they are satisfied with Manuels play and that he is their QB going forward. And that will be that as far as quarterback for the Bills is concerned for the next two years. We haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg from the excuse machine yet. The Bills have perfected this for over 50 years.
jahnyc Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 We need to see how EJ plays for the rest of the season, but if his play is similar to his play today, the Bills would be foolish to not take a QB in the first round in April. Do I think the Bills would do this? No, not under any circumstances, which is unfortunate since we will likely draft early in the first round and the class of QBs coming out this year is potentially very strong (unlike last year). This year's team is not particularly strong, but if they had good to excellent QB play, the team would be at least at .500.
Dragonborn10 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Doesn't matter how EJ plays the rest of the way. Did Green Bay care how Favre was playing when they took Rodgers? Draft another QB in round 2-4. First round is for a TE or WR.
Bangarang Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I think we drafted a bad decision making, ball throwing running back. Or something like that. Maybe a running back in a qb disguise. How much fun could we have with this? So the front office drafted the wrong guy according to you but you trust them enough to draft another one a year later?
K D Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 You guys are nuts if you think we are drafting a QB next year. The fact of the matter is we have at least one more year of Manuel so we can see what he looks like with a whole training camp worth of reps as the day 1 starter. If this time next year he has a game like today then maybe we get a QB in the 2015 draft. Jameis Winston please!
Peace Frog Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 We lose Byrd and draft a safety in the first.
ALF Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I still think EJ can be the franchise QB. There are key missing pieces , need healthy players and needed experience. If we make good draft choices in 2014 next season should be our turn around.
maddenboy Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I still think EJ "Quarterback X" can be the franchise QB. There are key missing pieces , need healthy players and needed experience. If we make good draft choices in 2014 "year X+1" next season should be our turn around. Sorry dude. But this is the thinking that has us where we are today. Lipstick on a pig. There is only one key missing piece. When the Colts went 1-15 and drafted Luck, and the players and coaches said "we are not rebuilding" everybody laughed. But they were right. Nowadays, rebuilding means "trying to find a QB." After you actually get one, you dont need to rebuild anything. Edited November 11, 2013 by maddenboy
