K D Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I'm shocked we wouldn't do a 3rd for Alex Smith. Seems like a no brainer. They must not have liked the player. Sounds like the new QB of the Bills will be Sam Bradford. Calling it now. No fake sources, just common sense

And then the real questions is - for how much? What's your alternative? Are you willing to give up the farm to move up and get your rookie QB?

They’re always going to be expensive in FA. 1
Augie Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Cousins and/or his agent are friggin’ genius! They know how to generate some CA$H!

They have a huge portion of their playbook designed after concepts Mariota ran at Oregon. Get us back to more zone read concepts, big reason we were the best run team in the league for 2 years.

Cousins gonna get close too 100M in Guarantees Yep.......pay Tyrod's bonus.......retaining him for relative peanuts versus the cost of cutting him..........and trade up for your franchise QB. Problem solved. Good to see you've come around. 1

What has Cousins done to make his team better? Yes we play in the AFC and were extremely lucky to get the wildcard spot in a fluke year. I'm as happy as anyone we made it but let's be real. The quickest way to push us to the next level is signing Cousins. He had objectively the harder schedule (according to DVOA Washington's offense faced the 8th hardest schedule while Buffalo's offense faced the easiest schedule), an objectively worse running game, arguably a worse offensive line, and about equal receiver talent. But only lost 2 less games. Cousins had a worse off situation in every conceivable way. Edited January 31, 2018 by HappyDays 1

I don't think Cousins will go to the highest bidder. He'll go where he thinks he can win and get a long term deal. Brees and Carr make more per year. Smith is 5th on Spotrac.

Sounds like a lot better evening than giving up assets to the Chefs and then paying 94 mill for the opportunity to have Alex Smith be your starting qb until he’s 39. 2 1

I'd have been perfectly fine giving up a 3rd for him, and a player Me too but after hearing about the crazy extension I'm happy we didn't trade for him. I don't want to tie our future to Alex Smith based on one outlier year. 1

What has Cousins done to make his team better? Seriously? The Bills have had one of the very best running backs and run games the last few years. This year's defense was very opportunistic with a +9 turnover differential. The team around Cousins was crappy on offense and defense. Plus he lost his OC in Sean McVay to the Rams and was replaced by that legend of a backup QB in Matt Cavanaugh. 1

Upgrade? well for starters we won’t have 6 out of 17 games with 0 Touchdowns total from the offense. that is a start 5

Are you willing to give up the farm to move up and get your rookie QB? lol I don't know. If they really like a certain QB, they should go get him. Don't think they have to go crazy to do it, either.
