I’m worried the team has the possibility to be a 6 win team next year. Holding out hope though. This is the most negative post I have read in my life. Cheer up brah. The future hasn't been this bright in 2 decades.

Do you think the Rams or Eagles regret their decision right now? B.B. and his staff need to trust their evaluations and intuition. If they think there is a franchise QB then they should do whatever it takes to get him. Once you have a good young QB you have a decade to build around him. I see your argument. The problem with taking this approach is that we have a good chance of taking a step back next year. Goff and Wentz took a full year to develop into what they are now. Plus both teams needed to add talent this past off season. We would have to be prepared to take a step back next year in order to take steps forward 2+ years from now.

You just have to take that risk. I don’t see Tyrod starting for us next year so there is likely going to be a step back next year anyway. It’s easier to be optimistic if you see a rookie QB taking his lumps and improving than watching an aging vet or journeyman with no real plan for the position.

And if you don’t have that QB then your first priority is to find one I agree with this but could we be one year away to risk the draft on one player? I think we need a little more talent before that big risk. I think FA QB and stock the roster this year with all those picks and go franchise rookie next. Unless something crazy falls in place.

Yup, it sucks for Tyrod that the rest of the league has caught up to him and now knows how to defense him. D coordinators are pretty smart in the NFL.

The 4th pick is worth 1800 ...... Add our other #2 and it's 2350 total. The #3 overall is worth 2200...... Trade up Buffalo!!! As long as we trade up whoever we pick will be awesome.

We cannot rely on that luck going forward. We still have a lot of work to do. The draft and off season will tell us a lot.

Its clear Taylor can’t read coverage and quickly go to the receiver running the route designed for that play. He at least pretends to survey the defense as if he’s capable of reading it — but he’s just not. Two 3rds for Alex Smith might do it, and hold what we got in our 1’s and 2’s and aim for Mason Rudolph in the first? I think that’s a “process” move. Four minutes left and we're still dumping off.
White Linen Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 This team could have really used Anquan Boldin this year, IMO.

In fact, even with no needs at DL or OL we are still at best a 9-7 team. We NEED to upgrade QB!!!! What I listed is simply what it costs to upgrade the position in this day and age. Any/every draft pick has risks. We could draft a few duds at OL or WR or DL too. John Miller is a backup G and he was a high pick. Zay Jones was completely forgets let this season. Gotta make a move. HAVE TO. We passed on Mahomes and deshaun Watson last year. Bills can't wait anymore. Just can't do it!!! Sam Donald completely sucks and Rosen isn't any better.
