scottdoomed Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 seems kinda played but smith = bledsoe will get us close but no enuff to carry us in tt can at least do that although his pocket pres isnt there...i dont know who would work in this offense at this point no solid targets to say ok lets get a new guy yea i know it seems crazy but those of you that remember think about it bledsoe was good as well. just not enuff. dont seem to be a answer yet i wanna see us use those picks smart for a change.
Young34 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 My main concern about any QB for next year is mobility. I think that if we get a statue back there (Bledsoe esque) then we will have to improve the line. one of the reasons that our line has great stats right now is because Tyrod is elusive, and can escape the rush. 1

I had not thought of that before. On the surface that seems like a valid assessment, but with this one big exception: Smith is far more mobile than Bledsoe ever was. Bledsoe was a statue as a QB. He couldn't move. I would say the more accurate correlation--if it should happen--would be Bledsoe to Sam Bradford. If he and Bledsoe ran a 100 yard dash race, it would be close, both coming in around 35 seconds--but the truth is, neither would finish because they would both somehow get hurt in that 100 yards.

Not all of the problem, but a sizeable portion of the problems in pass protection is that Taylor tends to hold the ball too long. Also not helping is when he starts to move in the pocket the lineman may not know where he is and can't effectively block defenders away. Get a guy that can get the ball out quick and the line is not as bad as people think.
Rico Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I don’t think the Bills would throw a parade for Alex Smith, but you never know.
SNICE Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 It’s playoff day... for first time in 17 yrs.....let’s focus on today, not next year. GO BILLS!!!
Paulmac Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 So on the day of our 1st playoff game in 18 years you want to theorize that Alex Smith might be Bledsoe ish IF we were to pursue him in the off-season? Let's discuss the playoffs..plenty of time in the year to discuss upcoming player transactions. Just praying you took too much cough syrup this morning and thought postseason plans had begun.. Go Bills! Go TT..Get this playoff WIN!!
Starr Almighty Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Bledsoe made it to the Superbowl and lead teams to more than 9 wins. Smith is mobile and Andy Reid is the reason they lost he refused to run the ball with a great back like Hunt 1
K D Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Bledsoe was much better. This was Alex Smith's best year by far. He's not very good

He's not very good For his last 2.5 years in Buffalo, Brain Dead Drew was far, far worse than Alex Smith. That being said, I don't want any part of Smith,... save that draft pick, spend an earlier one on a QB, and keep TT if necessary until the QB pick is ready.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I think Smith may be the smarter QB, just doesn't have all the physical skills of the great ones. Bledsoe had the skills, but struggled to make the right pass. But of all the QB's who struggled with the mental part of it, Bledsoe was still one of the better ones, but just not quite as good as say a Brady, Rodgers, Elway, etc. But do think Bledsoe was much better than Smith overall
The_Dude Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 We need a BOLD move this off season. First, Alex Smith is a huge upgrade from Tyrod Taylor. HUGE upgrade. We need to bring in Smith or we need to throw caution to the wind and make a huge trade to bring in one of the big four. Or....there’s a huge chance we don’t trade up and target Mason Rudolph.... 1
hemma Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I think I understand the rules of board game. OK, my try: Penguin = Roadrunner

We got Drew at the end of his career as he was declining. He did have 1 good year. He had plenty of good years prior that were much better than any of Alex's best.
