TorontoBillsFan99 Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Any quarterback in the Christmas wish-list this year? I'm thinking - realistically here - that maybe Kirk Cousins or Blake Bortles might be the answer for the Bills and they'd probably fit in good with out system we're building. Thoughts?
Dkollidas Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I think Bortles has proven an inability to lead an offense... lots of mental errors that lead to turnovers. Cousins will be extremely expensive. Not sure they’re interested in paying for a QB yet. I’d rather see them put in all their chips for Darnold or Rosen. I get a funny feeling they might. If they can get to 7-8 wins with their current roster, without an elite quarterback, imagine what they could do with a potentially elite qb Edited December 1, 2017 by Dkollidas
Lothar Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Rumor has it he will be the highest paid qb in the league when he signs his contract. Even pseudo-franchise qbs getting to free agency will break the bank. And i don't think he's worth that much.
Doc Brown Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Just now, jr1 said: Cousins is 1-6 vs Dallas That will be a problem every four years we play them. The question is do you want to pay a known commodity in Cousins who is an above average NFL starter elite QB money? We could get four to five solid players in next years draft if we sign him to give him some help. The other option is obviously moving up and drafting a 1st round quarterback and praying you made the right choice. I'm rather torn in all honesty.
dma0034 Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 I'd pass on Bortles. I think most would pick Tyrod over him. I want Cousins though and built the O-line up through the draft.

Passepartout Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Yeah as really think the way Redskins are treating him is like dirt. Due to an owner who must not know anything about football.

The problem is the Bills are re-building and don't have $25M per year committed to the QB position for the next three years. They are paying TT about $10M....That is their budget. Look for a QB drafted next year and TT being a gap QB for 2019 (He is signed through 2019)
Marty McFly Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Tyrods better then Bortles. Cousins...and mark my wors now.....all of you.... Cousins will never play qb for buffalo.
SoCal Deek Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 What's all the love for Cousins? He's sitting at 5-7 this morning and out of the playoffs already...again. Is he really a huge upgrade over TT? I'm not so sure. Draft a QB and an Offensive Lineman or two.

aristocrat Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 the one thing I dislike about the nfl is that the draft is after free agency opens. we don't know if we can get a qb at the draft so if we miss out on cousins who do we have? do we get gut punched and keep tyrod on the roster until after the draft or just sign a guy? cousins is gonna get big money. i project about 43 mil in space with tyrod and lorax cut but keeping glenn for now. that's with only 32 players on the roster and big holes at DT and cb. dare i say keep tyrod and groom the next qb under him and use the 40 mil to keep some talent and bring in free agents for holes?

Keeping either Tyrod or Gaines will leave us at ~$33M in space (~$28M after draft picks)

I risk getting worse before I go with either Sam or Eli. Ultimately the best path would've been keeping Tyrod through '18, but the more I things develop the more that bridge looks to be burning.

I don't understand the love either as a Redskin season ticket holder we look at Cousins as a QB who is very poor when in the red zone or toward the end of games. He will lose 2-3 games a year on stupidity yet he will make some good throws now and then. It's funny to see the Bills fans foaming at the mouth for a chance to sign Kirk. If you saw the Dallas game last night you saw typical Kirk...I'll pass on him.
