From a KC perspective....We have a very ready Mahomes, and we get out from under Smith, get cap space, a thrid round pick AND...this is the important part....Fuller, a corner who would absolutely go in the first round of this years draft, under his PALTRY rookie contract for two more years. That is BETTER than actually getting a first round pick....you know he isn't a bust already and he's pennies on the dollar cheap for a high end corner that would cost MILLIONS on the open market. ....I am going to use a very tasteless term to describe what happend today....but KC plunger raped the Redskins. It would seem at least the Redskins have looked at this QB class and said "no thanks" The Browns made the phone call to KC...that doesn't mean they weren't going to draft a guy, but it tells you that whoever they are going to take, they don't think will start day 1. That isn't usually the case when you invest the 1/1 in a QB. The Bills are going to go through the Kirk Cousins bidding war, and trying to convert the 21st and 22nd overall pics, OR going with Tyrod and Peterman, OR signing someone like Bradford when all you had to do was use the 10th overall pick you had last year and avoid all this uncertainty. You had Mahomes and Watson right there, under the tree with shiny wrapping paper and nice big bow...and you punted. Slow down, you just traded the qb that led the league in passing efficiency. A veteran who is playing the best football of his career, and will now start a qb who has one start in a meaningless game and posted 0tds, 1 int. and a 76. qb rating. A lot of hype, but put your Super Bowl plans on hold. He hasnt proven anything yet.

I also joined a Browns group for the same reasons (Dorsey there, they passed on every one last draft) This group here is a WAY WAY more inteligent and thoughtful group than the guys on the Cleveland boards, and franly, the KC boards I am on...lots of frustrating Madden players who don't understand the cap or real football....I hope you'll see fit to let me stick around....even as I will poke you for Mahomes here and there. 1

The team that seems to be a qb away from a Super Bowl is Jax imo. No idea if they are interested or have the cap but I think they have the rest of the parts.
MJS Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Cousins would be a fool to go to the Jets or the Browns. QB's go to those places to die. I guess similar could be said about the Bills, but it looks like things are pointing up for us.
transplantbillsfan Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Incredible... 4 years for $94 million with $71 million in guarantees. McDermott said he values a vet QB on the roster. Much to the chagrin of MANY on this board, Taylor might be around another year as that guy. The price of every other capable vet QB just went up.

Let's wait and see if Mahomes is actually good or not. Everyone talks him up like he is already a Franchise QB, but he has only played in one meaningless game so far. Time will tell. We did get a great rookie in Tre White from the trade down. If the Bills use KC's first rounder to move up and get a QB, I hope Mahomes and whoever we take turn out to be great QB's. It would be a rare instance where both franchises look great for making a trade. Win-win. Both get their QB. 1

At this point we might sign Josh McCown and draft a quarterback. There'd pry be riots on the street, but he did fairly well considering the Jets talent on the offensiveness of the ball.

We will see this season and should he fail you have Tyler Bray. This new coaching staff wanted to see what they had in Tyrod Taylor and clearly, they didn't trust Whaley or his scouts with their past QB evaluations. Kinda why they are no longer with the team.

Talk about Watson when he does something. Who was in the playoffs this year? Tyrod Taylor. So Watson who ? Ok let's be fair here not to mention realistic. You're actually gonna say the Bills still would have made the playoffs had Watson's season not been cut short? Houston would have taken that division and Tennessee would have had the wild card. Watson was playing every bit as good as any QB at the time he got hurt

I think this was another domino to fall towards Tyrod still being a Buffalo Bill for one more year as we draft our long term answer in the first. I have no problem if he's not, though... hopefully it's because we have Darnold or Mayfield ... or Luck

Watson was playing every bit as good as any QB at the time he got hurt Tenn beat the Texans twice without Watson. So if the Texans win that div then Tenn probably loses at least one of those games and does not make it.

He is the reason McDaniel is going to the Colts; a quality quarterback in place to build on. Luck isn't going anywhere.

The price of QBs goes up every year. There were people a week agon thinking Cousins might only get $22-23m then a 33 year old Alex Smith who two teams have moved on from gets that.... Cousins is going to get paid seriously big. None of that is an excuse not to move on from Tyrod though.
