jeffismagic Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I don't remember Pegs ever going to a workout in the past not saying it's why they did it but It wouldn't be for comp picks (awarded for losing FAs), it would be for trade down opportunities in the draft Bills aren't getting more than a third for dropping a few spots. Same value as the comp pick they might not get.
BillsMedia Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 If Mcdermott takes Mahomes or Trubisky then the Bills can become relevant again. Neither of those QB's would come in and start year 1. Good to develop under Tyrod for a year or two though.
jeffismagic Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Neither of those QB's would come in and start year 1. Good to develop under Tyrod for a year or two though. Doesn't matter. You don't draft QB's based on what they can do in one year. You take a guy because you believe he can get you to a championship game.
Dr. Who Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Encouraging. I really doubt this is a smokescreen or a tactic to trade down.
billspro Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 More Qb interest, it will be interesting to see who the Bills draft.
Kipers Hair Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I don't agree. Does he know how to scout and evaluate players? exactly.... own and stroke checks...but otherwise get out of the way.
rayray808 Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Bills are going QB. It is clear now. However, are they in "wait and see who falls to us" mode, or are they in "trade up and get our guy" mode? That is the main question at this point. New coach = New QB. Tyrod is a one year rental to buy the new guy time to learn. We make the playoffs and Tyrod is a two year rental. Either way, McD is looking for his new franchise QB to start his head coaching career with.
BillsfanAZ Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Seriously? No. Just no. Terry Pegula is not a respected talent evaluator in the NFL. I'm not saying it's bad if he's there necessarily but it's no way "a good sign". At best it's neutral, at worst it's the sign of a meddling owner. You own a billion dollar company and you just fired an expensive manager that you made the mistake of hiring against your GM's wishes. You have loyal customers but you may be only a year or two away from fracturing that customer base. You have a new manager and are looking for a new product to sell to the customers. Wouldnt you want to be involved with that search? Even just hearing the pros and cons of each product?
jeffismagic Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Encouraging. I really doubt this is a smokescreen or a tactic to trade down. Maybe Mcdermott actually wants to be here for more than a few years!
BillsMedia Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Doesn't matter. You don't draft QB's based on what they can do in one year. You take a guy because you believe he can get you to a championship game. I literally just said it would be good for him to develop under Tyrod, meaning it isn't based on 1 year. But saying the Bills are relevant again for drafting a QB who will sit first couples years is a bold statement. Reading is hard.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Bills are going QB. It is clear now.

Tyrod is a one year rental to buy the new guy time to learn. We make the playoffs and Tyrod is a two year rental. Either way, McD is looking for his new franchise QB to start his head coaching career with. Trading up doesn't make sense for any of these guys unless you mean trading up to get one of them later in the 1st round.
Wayne Arnold Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Can you imagine what people would have said if Ralph traveled to a workout? He certainly would have been a "meddling owner" right? Tends to happen after an owner forces the head coach to start the backup quarterback for a playoff game.

Either way, McD is looking for his new franchise QB to start his head coaching career with. I dont think any QB is worth trading up for in this QB class. I think the Bills wait to see who is there at 10 and enterain offers to move back if multiple players are there that they like.
zevo Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 It sounds like the jets are really high on him as well...I could def see them going that way
Mr. WEO Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Oh good, glad we have the owner our scouting. I wonder if he stayed awake for the whole workout.
TheFunPolice Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Ownership wants real success for this team, and billionaires who are used to getting what they want and are willing to spend aren't great at settling. Without a good to great QB you are not going to be successful in the NFL of today. Some delight in pointing out a few exceptions to the rule, saying SEE! SEE! You don't NEED a QB! Let's be the 1 in 10 instead of one of the 9 in 10. How about stop trying to be cute and just do what works: find a great coach (hopefully they did) and pair him with a great QB.
Dr. Who Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Maybe Mcdermott actually wants to be here for more than a few years! I was sitting in a little dorm room at UCLA with my roommate from Batavia when the Bills beat the Raiders 51 - 3 in the AFC Championship. We both sat there in stunned silence wondering if this was real life. I think I might feel a similar surprised happiness if we actually get a clue about qb.

YoloinOhio Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Bills aren't getting more than a third for dropping a few spots. Same value as the comp pick they might not get. you don't know which team might be willing to trade up. Could be a team later in the first. Of they could get more than a late 3rd rounder in 2018. Again, I doubt that's why Terry is there but it's possible. Edited April 10, 2017 by YoloinOhio
