BuffaninATL Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 puh-leeeze .......and if I won the PowerBall lottery, I could retire any realistic posts to put forth ?
Bob Malooga Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) If the BILLS had Rogers they'd have to pay him. Say goodbye to Hughes and the majority of the rest of the offseason acquisitions. You want shiny new toys, or a shiny new trophy/ring??? It's a no-brainer...I'd much rather add Rodgers to last year's team, than every free agent we added this offseason...in a heartbeat, without a doubt. Edited May 28, 2015 by Bubbles from Sunnyvale
ChasBB Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Hmmm... I feel this is the same as several other threads.... "we have killer talent except the QB position, if we had (player X) we could win it all!!" If, if, if.... How about IF one of our current QBs produces, maybe we can still win... +1 Bills' 2015 QB is already on the roster and I'm ok with that because the competition at the position is very good - they'll all make each other better because they each could arguably win the the starting job. I know it's been said that we just need the QB to be halfway decent, but it wouldn't surprise me if we get a lot more than just halfway decent play from the eventual starting QB.
Ice bowl 67 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 It's the off season guys. I run out of things to talk about.
SF Bills Fan Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 With this squad of receivers he would kill it. We would have a damn good shot at winning the whole thing. Brady likewise. Rivers and Luck and P Manning would round out my dream list, but Manning could get killed with this O-line.
Ice bowl 67 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 As bad as your O line was the Packers never sacked Orton in our game last season.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 You can pretty much say 14-2 and super bowl champions. Still I predict 11-5 this year. I think we should give you our 5th round draft choice Hundley to be your starter. Just think if we didn't trade for Losman we would have Rodgers If the BILLS had Rogers they'd have to pay him. Say goodbye to Hughes and the majority of the rest of the offseason acquisitions. so
SF Bills Fan Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 As bad as your O line was the Packers never sacked Orton in our game last season. Orton was pretty good at getting rid of the ball quickly or throwing it away if he felt the pressure. He had the instincts if a journeyman vet for that. He made some bad throws and was lucky to have Woods and Sammy bail him out with a great catch.
boyst Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Teams winning super bowls recently don't have the super star QB who is paid bazzillions. Brady even took a pay cut to get his team better and not since the Saints with Brees has a top 3 in the league won the super bowl. Brady wasn't even near a top 5 NFL QB. Brees and P Manning are the only top tier, best of the best QB's to have won a super bowl in the last 10 years. QB's help but the them is more important.
Chandemonium Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Forget Aaron Rodgers, I'm just glad we don't have Justin Rodgers anymore.
Dorkington Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Don't tease me like that. But seriously...if only. Russell Wilson burns the most because it almost seemed like an obvious 3rd round pick for us at the time and we'd be sitting pretty. Not so sure about that. Some QBs have it, and will have it, no matter what situation they go to, but most QBs have to grow in the right system. I don't think we would have developed Wilson effectively.

I wonder who your top tier list includes if brady, rodgers, roethlisberger aren't on it
bladiebla Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 If the BILLS had Rogers they'd have to pay him. Say goodbye to Hughes and the majority of the rest of the offseason acquisitions. This. What we lack in skill in the QB position also means we haven't tied up a third of the cap to the QB.
Gordio Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I think he is a great pick. We need a backup in the worst way in case Rodgers goes down. Flynn is a terrible backup. Hundley could learn from Rodgers and who knows he could be our next star quarterback or the Bills next star quarterback! I liked Hundley coming out of UCLA but the one thing that scares me with him is that something like 90% of his passes that he threw last year only traveled 10 yards or less. He is the defination of a dink & dunk passer. Far different from Rodgers. Maybe he could learn how to get the ball downfield playing behind Rodgers.
YoloinOhio Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Yes! Trade Clay! That was my suggestion and everybody thought I was insane.because he has a no trade clause for 3 yrs.
BarleyNY Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) If the BILLS had Rogers they'd have to pay him. Say goodbye to Hughes and the majority of the rest of the offseason acquisitions. 2 of our better players or you could hack away at a few mid tier guys. Cassel, Chris Williams, Lawson and Percy for instance would go a long way to working it out. Or just Hughes and clay would get you a pretty long way. My first thought was exactly what Alaska's was, but it is closer than I thought. Rogers has a cap hit of $18.25M this season and $19.25M next. It would mean more than Hughes ($6.175M in 2015, $7.575 in 2016) and Clay ($5.0M in 2015, $13M in 2016). They'd be covered in 2016, but would need to find some room in 2015. Numbers from OTC. Additional note: I still can't believe the freaking contract the Bills gave Clay. Looking at it makes my head want to explode. It's insane. Edited May 28, 2015 by BarleyNY
Webster Guy Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 The sad thing is we traded away our 2005 first round pick in the Losman draft the previous year. If we hadn't pulled the trigger on JP we'd have had a shot at Rodgers the following year. Instead we took Roscoe in the 2nd and a mess of other picks that never made it to a second contract in Buffalo. The worst draft I can ever remember. The other thing thats interesting about the Aaron draft is that right after SF took Alex Smith with the first pick ( surprising some people because Rodgers grew up a niners fan in northern Cali and was rated by some to be as good as Smith), but the next THREE picks were all running backs. Oh how the league has changed. (Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, Cadillac Williams) There will never be another draft like that one with 3 of the top 4 being runners. Unbelievable.
YoloinOhio Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Just saw this... @LordReebs: Rodgers now for his career is sitting on a silly 150 to 5 TD:INT ratio in the red zone on 558 passes. Ehrmagerd
