I agree with this philosophy and Bills should absolutely be looking at QBs

[MAJBobby]

 

Time to start getting into the QB flipping Business

[Coach Tuesday]

Agree as well.

[DFT]

Agree 100!  No position should be off the table.  No matter how good/weak we feel we are across the board.

[Bob in STL]

Agree … but the downside is fickle fans and media.   Everyone loves the young backup prospect.  At least until the real bullets fly.

Since 1992, the Packers have had 2 starting QBs, only one of whom they drafted.  What "template" is this guy referring to?  Matt Flynn (FA)?  Brent Huntley (cost a 5th, got a 6th)? 

[boater]

Yeah, but will QB depth sustain Pegs lavish lifestyle?

I think he is just hanging his hat on the Farve, Rogers thing.  The better comparison would have been the Patriots QB flipping mentality.  Either way that is where I want the Bills getting to, easiest way to get draft assets is flipping QBs

Something I been saying forever

Well, we have been rumored to have interest in Morgan.

Good thing both of those don't matter.

Kurt Warner, Mark Brunell, and Ty Detmer all of which went on to be starters in the league one making it to the HOF

I would fully be on board taking a Hurts, Fromm, Eason etc if they are there in the 4th, develop them, showcase them in Preseason going into the next seasons and flip them in a heart beat.  Take a QB in the 4th, flip him in a couple years for a 1st and more

Packers don't flip QBs.  That's the point.  The Bills have flipped as many recently (Cardale Jones?).

 

As for drafting QBs just to flip them---that's a bit unrealistic.  Jimmy G wasn't drafted for that.  And drafting a backup to your young emerging franchise QB makes it extremely unlikely that your low drafted rookie backup will develop trade value for more picks any time soon.

 

Better drafting backups to be the backup. If flipping was an actual thing, they would draft one this year and "flip" Barkley who should have more value right now than his replacement.

Agree on all three of these guys. I might order Eason, Hurts, and then Fromm but I would take any in the 4th round

This is the year to draft another QB. There are so few roster spots up for grabs.  I'd be fine if the only draft 5 guys and trade away a pick

This is a meme to end all meme’s.

 

Since 2011, the Pats drafted:

 

-Ryan Mallett, pick 74. “Flippped” for a conditional SIXTH

 

-Jimmy G, pick 62. Flipped for pick 43

 

-Brissett, pick 91. Flipped for a WR with 800 yards in THREE SEASONS with the Pats.

 

This is the “peak” of this “strategy.” Lol

I’m very hopeful Fromm falls amid the bad year and athletic concerns.  Somebody is going to get a good QB in him.

 

 

of course...  I’ve liked some truly awful prospects in my time as well.

This almost never happens.

 

 

Maybe we should draft multiple HoFers in the 6th and 7th rounds and flip them to every team for multiple firsts. This is a strategy, I am very smart.
