prissythecat Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 We don't necessarily need to draft a QB. RG III and Kap will be available for next season. I know a number of posters here are/were enamored of the two read option fad QBs. =)
PromoTheRobot Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Sure. Why not? Pick anybody as long as it's in round one. I don't care who. In fact it's better if they suck so we can do the same thing again in 2017. This is fun.
FireChan Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 In theory, you are right.But you're talking about using resources to trade up to get QB and then leave him on the bench and never play him? I don't think that is likely. I don't think the Bills will go all in to get a QB this year unless they are sure TT is not the guy. Some fans here are sure. I don't think the Bills are. I would expect the Bills to use their top pick to add to the team around Taylor and maybe pick a QB later. Who knows. It will be interesting. Hopefully Taylor finishes this year strong and we go to the playoffs and this is a non-issue. Nothing matters if we don't get a QB. If folks don't see that, they never will. It's not the time to build the team up. It's as good as it's gonna be. Swing hard and swing often over the next 2 years. I'd draft a QB even if we go into the playoffs with Tyrod.

You don't just pull a QB of the QB tree and he shows up and is great. That happens very very rarely. If you draft a guy, it takes time for him to develop. Especially if you draft a guy in the first, you have to give him a couple years to develop rather than picking a QB every year and playing musical QBs. The problem with this fanbase if that we have no patience due to the playoff drought.

The argument that we can't draft a QB because the fans are impatient is completely ludicrous.

The problem with this fanbase if that we have no patience due to the playoff drought. We have zero first round QB's capable of developing right now. There's no patience because SuperBowl windows close. Should we go through the list of "good" QB's in the NFL who started out pretty good? Who, by their second year, were basically franchise guys? This team will be worse than it is now in 3 years. We need a lottery ticket, a guy who comes in a plays well. We need to play the lottery a lot. Edited November 24, 2015 by FireChan
Buffalo Beeeews Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Do whatever you have to to replace Seantrel Henderson. For the love of God!!!

We should go down the list of guys who showed little to no improvement over the course of their first 2 seasons who went on to be successful. It'll save time.
dpberr Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 No. Absolutely not. I think linebacker is a pressing need.
FireChan Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Yes, please. Teddy, Carr, Tanny, Cutler, Peyton, Brady, Rivers, Wilson, Luck, Dalton, Cam, Matt Ryan, Flacco, Roethlisberger. There's probably more, that's off the top of my head. Edited November 24, 2015 by FireChan
BADOLBILZ Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Given how Tyrod is playing, do we still feel that the Bills needs to draft a QB with their round 1 pick in the next draft? CBF Always take a QB first.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 No. Absolutely not. I think linebacker is a pressing need. Agreed. LB or LT. Take a QB to sit a year behind Taylor in the 2nd
North Buffalo Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Not sure it matters what round but take at least two this year next year until you find one
dayman Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Tyrod looks like a career back up. A damn good back up...but not a starter by any means. I wouldn't even draft a QB early unless it was a stud. I would (obviously) take any quality guy available in rd. 4 and beyond...but I would primarily try to grab an existing "pro" via trade or FA (Rivers, Cutler, any of those type of guys). They won't be great but the window is now we don't have time for a rookie.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Yes. They should go for it. TT hasn't shown enough consistently. Edited November 25, 2015 by drinkTHEkoolaid
