fansince88 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Did they mention Mahomes in those threads? Maybe that could be a new topic. Who? Never heard of him. Can you start a post about him?
billspro Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I think all signs are pointing to a QB in round 1 or 2. Tyrod is essentially on a 1 year bridge QB deal. I don't think Cardale has shown enough to be seen as a franchise QB. They have not brought a veteran backup QB in because they are going to bring in a developmental prospect. I think they pick a QB in round one and trade back in round 2 to acquire a 4th round and a 7th round pick.

dayman Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Sign Fitzpatrick to be our backup. He's a good backup.
Davejr511 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 I love the sarcasm guys, keep it going. I know the topic has been talked about, and that the front office has some what of a plan. But before FA even started everyone pretty much said that the Bills would bring in a veteran QB. Almoat a month into it we haven't even interviewed 1 single QB. Just wondering why?

I actually really like Tyrod. He is the perfect bridge Qb with the new contract. I would keep Tyrod for the next couple years, I think you can build a competitive playoff team with him as the starter. He should continue to start until someone beats him out. I don't think I could go back to watching an EJ/Losman/Edwards type of QB. I would prefer to draft a guy this year so he has a chance to beat out Tyrod next season. The 2018 class is way over hyped right now, their grades will come down when they actually start being evaluated. Darnold seems to be the real deal, but he is going to go with the 1st pick (and no one is going to trade that pick away). If I was running the team I would go Watson in round 1 or Kizer/Mahomes in round 2 (and yes Mahome will be there in round 2, he is way overrated on this board).
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I think we may pick a qb fairly high and sign a cheaper, meh vet. Jones and the vet may have a training camp battle.
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Fitzpatrick The first signs of TT struggling would start a controversy. That said, any team that has a young qb or is drafting one would be smart to sign Fitz. Perfect mentor/ backup.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Fitzpatrick .he couldn't even throw a Blue Light can to the right customer as a beerman....seriously??........
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 .he couldn't even throw a Blue Light can to the right customer as a beerman....seriously??........ Stop with the hyperbole. He would be one of the best backups in the league and 2 years ago, he would have thrown the second most td passes in Bills franchise history.
RyanC883 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I think we see a vet backup. Still some decent options out there. I don't see us drafting a QB unless we can trade down and grab Mahommes at the end of the 1st or Peterman later (5th Rd.) I think we draft DB's, WR, OL and perhpas DL/LB depending on BPA.

John from Riverside Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 The first signs of TT struggling would start a controversy. That said, any team that has a young qb or is drafting one would be smart to sign Fitz. Perfect mentor/ backup. would love Fitz as a backup
Saxum Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Right now we only have Tyrod Taylor and Cardale Jones. Unless Whaley is a complete idiot, I'm pretty sure he will draft a QB. Im not sure when though. Right. Unless he agrees with you he is a complete idiot.
Heavy Kevi Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 If Tyrod gets hurt, the tank is on. No need for a backup.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I'm OK with a QB at any pick of the draft. More likely, it'll be with our 5th, 5th, or 6th round pick. Evans, Dobbs, and Kelly make sense in those rounds. Regardless of whether or not we draft a QB at all, signing Fitzpatrick as QB2 would be a great move. Top-end QB2 in this league. Never know when you need a guy to step up and string a couple wins together. Fear the beard.
dbflaBill Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 The bills can't draft a QB and sign a Vet its one or the other. TT, Jones, Rookie/vet. No way they keep 4 qbs and thats what you're asking them to do if they draft, and sign a vet
cd1 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I think we may pick a qb fairly high and sign a cheaper, meh vet. Jones and the vet may have a training camp battle. ^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^
