Bills GM: 'Time is now' to trade up for a QB

[Skyy God]

Romeo/Pioli, if you get cute and win another meaningless game, I will cut you.

In what has become a weekly discussion of his franchise's quarterback situation, Bills GM Buddy Nix suggested Friday that he's keen on trading up to address the position in this year's draft.

"Let me say this: I think there's a time that in the era that you're in and the development of your team, there's a time when you can move up a round to take a quarterback," Nix said. "And I think the time's now for us ... We need a good, young quarterback, and we're going to do our best to get him." Nix has waffled a bit on the issue, but has essentially conceded that Ryan Fitzpatrick is not the solution.

dude we could get fitz from them

or we could get thig back

[Reerun_KC]

Chiefs fans jump into frozen rivers hearing this news....

This is not how you win, you draft some junk ILB or a RG...

[the Talking Can]

perfect...chiefs fans want to trade down for the 5th best QB...'value,' ya know...

[Chief Roundup]

As long as we get the 1st pick the Bills can take whoever they want.

[htismaqe]

Only fitting that Haley fires Galey, Pioli fires Haley, Haley ends up in Pittsburgh with Ben Roethlisberger and Galey ends up in Buffalo with Geno Smith...

[htismaqe]

As long as we get the 1st pick the Bills can take whoever they want.

We're gonna trade it to the Bills.

[-King-]

What the fuck advantage does he gain by coming out in public and saying this? If anything this is a huge disadvantage.

Placate the fans?? I don't know.

Lets look at it this way. Now every GM knows when the phone rings from the Bills that they're looking to trade up.

Is that really a big deal knowing it ahead of time vs them calling the day of the draft and let that GM know they're looking to trade up?

The end situation is the same. The GM for the top spot is going to try to get as much as he can.

Fools gold.

The ONLY thing it accomplishes is fomenting the want for a QB amongst the fans.

And in April, when a trade doesn't materialize and the Bill take an offensive tackle, the fans will be PISSED.

He should keep his mouth shut.

what it does is it shows he wont be afraid to trade up with a team to get a guy like Geno Smith

essentially Chiefs fans should now be afraid of a team like Buffalo. Yes they showed their hand, but that's a lot more than Pioli and Clark do for the Chiefs. You dont see them coming out and saying they want a QB, which would be nice to know so I dont have to be let down when Pioli drafts another DT in the first round next spring

Negotiating from a position where the other side knows you'll bend over backwards is never a good thing. This sounds more like "Don't fire me, I really mean it this time." Look at people in this thread liking this, and we don't even root for the Bills.

And what happens when they can't trade up?

Are you seriously suggesting that Clark coming out and saying they're going to draft a QB would make you feel better?

Because Clark said BEFORE HE HIRED PIOLI that he wanted to draft a QB and we got Matt fucking Cassel.

Saying anything now is foolish and silly.

NOTHING good can come from him saying this.

At best, they trade up and get a QB, which would have satisfied everyone had he said this or not.

At worst, nobody wants to trade with them and he ends up looking like an idiot.

He's said it before. And we haven't done it.

So why would him coming out and saying it mean anything at all?

Tears of joy?

i would cry if Clark came out and said we're drafting a QB

As soon as we know for sure we get the number one pick of the draft, I want to know that we are taking a QB and that QB be Geno Smith. If we get the second or third pick of the draft then they need to play cool about it and not lead so much one way or another.

Let's put it this way. Pioli comes out today and says we're drafting a QB next year, even if we have to trade up... no matter what it takes. I'm sure everyone in this thread would want Clark to retain Pioli then, right?

there's only 1 #1 pick...there are lots of cars and dealership

the price for the pick (whichever pick it is) is going to be set by the # of teams bidding for it...saying you're bidding for it two months in advance, or two weeks, really makes no difference...

Pioli already might get his job saved because Belcher shot himself in the face. And because Clark Hunt really really really loves money. Two things that have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Pioli is competent at his job. Which he isn't.

Sorry, just rambling at this point. For all I know we'll lose to the Raiders on Sunday and Pioli will get fired on Monday. That's what I predicted several months ago in the When Does Pioli Get Fired? pool.

History says that you are correct.


2013 - Draft best QB in 1st round
2013 - Draft another good QB prospect
2014 & 2015 - Draft a good QB prospect in the 2nd or 3rd round (Both years)

2016 - Rinse and repeat if none of the QBs work out


Short version: Constantly have QB's coming in to develop so that we can use them or trade them for more picks.

[htismaqe]

Nope, I'm merely remembering that Jimmy Clausen was talked about as being a top 5 pick around here.

Jimmy Clausen wouldn't have been any worse than Brady Quinn and Matt Cassel.

It has been acknowledged. And it's been addressed.

There's also no elite LT, nor do we need one.

There's potentially 2 elite pass rushers but one of them has a health issue and we already have 2.

That leaves QB and DT. Do you want a defensive tackle?

[htismaqe]

That's no justification.

Sure it is. Because Jimmy Clausen MIGHT have been better, too. His floor was 2-14, which is what we have now. Nothing but upside.

We've tried EVERY method of acquiring a QB short of drafting one in the 1st round.

There's only 1 thing left to do.

Amongst many of the scouting services, Ryan and Rivers were absolutely considered elite prospects. They weren't consensus like Eli Manning but they were considered elite prospects. Freeman and Roethlisberger were in that "next" group ala Ryan Tannehill last year.

We should be drafting the highest rated qb every year until we find one that works. Then we build the team around him.

Please define"franchise" QB. Thank you.

:facepalm: I love how it's either one extreme or the other around here constantly.

What do we stand to gain from all the draft picks we'll have coming in?

ILBs, DTs, CBs, and WRs. FUCKING YIPPEE.

You also have to take into account that probably 75% of those guys won't work out in the pros. If we're lucky ONE of them will be an elite player that we need at those spots.

All while missing out on the best QB in the draft.

There. I've entertained the possibility of a trade down. I gave it serious thought. For another team like the 0-16 Detroit Lions, that may have been the thing to do. For the Kansas City Chiefs, where we already have good players, just a fucking black hole at QB, that's NOT the right thing to do. At all.

[RealSNR]

That doesn't mean everybody has to go full retard. "We should have drafted Jimmy Clausen" is ****ing retarded.

I'm not sure where you're going with this. Are you saying the top QBs in this draft are as bad as Jimmy Clausen?

If so, then YOU'RE the one being retarded.

[htismaqe]

I'm not sure where you're going with this. Are you saying the top QBs in this draft are as bad as Jimmy Clausen?

No, he's saying we did the right thing by passing on Clausen because Clausen has ultimately turned out to not be very good.

The problem with that thinking is that EVERY QB coming out is nothing but potential. At the time Clausen was drafted, he had potential. The situation in Carolina didn't turn out.

But that doesn't mean he would have flamed out here. He might have - he also might have flourished under Weis the same way Matt fucking Cassel did.

Who knows, maybe the disagreement over Cassel never happens, Weis never leaves, and we're headed towards the playoffs right now?

The point is that we will NEVER KNOW because the team is too scared to take a fucking risk.

It never fails. Somebody interjects some reason into an argument involving drafting a QB and it turns into "You're scared to draft a QB". I personally am in favor of staying where they are and drafting a QB. But only an idiot doesn't acknowledge the possibility that none of these QBs are good enough to draft #1 overall, and the possibility that the next GM of this team would rather have a bunch of draft picks and what he thinks is as good a QB later.

[Tribal Warfare]

Everybody here has already acknowledged the FACT that there might not be a QB good enough to draft #1 overall.

The problem is that there isn't any other player, at any other position, that's good enough to draft #1 overall either.

Unless you want a DT.

I've never suggested that YOU were too scared. I'm pretty sure I knew where you stand, even before you posted it in the above.

All I'm saying is that I've considered the possibility that you raised...

And I've dismissed it. There is no other suitable course of action.

I appreciate that you're seeing all sides to this debate.

I did the same awhile ago. I came to the conclusion that this team doesn't fucking need all those extra picks. What we need is a GM who knows how to fucking draft. If Tyson Jackson, Dexter McCluster, Jon Baldwin, Tony Moeaki, or even fucking Gabe Miller were any good at all, absolutely nobody would think we have a lack of talent on this team. If you hit on 2 or more of your draft picks per year, you're doing an above average. We haven't had one of those drafts since 2008, and thanks to Pioli all of those players are leaving.

So you're right. We need the QB, and we should stay at #1 and draft that guy. What you're not considering when you're weighing the options is if we even need all those draft picks if we could just bring in a GM who acquires talent through the draft like a competent talent evaluator should.

[Brock]

All I'm saying is that I've considered the possibility that you raised...

It doesn't matter whether you've considered it and dismissed it. It exists.

You can't use the word FACT and "might" in the same sentence, because then its not a FACT.

No, the possibility that none of the QBs in this draft are worth a #1 overall pick is a FACT. There might not be one.

What experts are you talking about? Guys like Kiper LOVED Jamarcus Russell, thought he was one of the best prospects EVER. Kiper is one of the ones trying to tell everyone there's no elite QB in this draft.

San Diago and they too Brees in the 2nd

Two sentences fixes the problems.

My point about Geno is just what you said. Russell is the best ever, but Geno isn't worth the pick. I don't trust them, or really care what they think.

[RealSNR]

Lucky for us they were too fucking stupid to know what to do with it.

I know they had already drafted Rivers at that point, but when you have the season that Brees did in his last year in San Diego, how are you not tempted to take what you know is a good thing and cut your losses by trading the other?

[htismaqe]

Making a move like SD did in 2001 is very risky, but if you hit pay dirt with a QB in the second you look like a genius.

San Diego really didn't hit pay dirt though. What do they have to show for that gamble? Nothing really. Certainly no hardware.

They ended up trading away the Super Bowl winner and are stuck with the whiner.

Of course if we didn't trade for Trent Green in 2001, we fuck the Chargers plan up.

They drafted an all-world QB and RB in the first two rounds. The GM messed it up and drafted Rivers while letting Brees walk.

[MahiMike]

Why draft just one? The Redskins just won a game with TWO rookie QBs!

[htismaqe]

They drafted an all-world QB and RB in the first two rounds. The GM messed it up and drafted Rivers while letting Brees walk.

Brees wasn't all-world in San Diego. He wasn't all world until he got to New Orleans and teamed up with Sean Payton.

Outside of a great 2004 season, he average over 15 INTs a season and barely scratched 6.0 ypa.

I always found it funny that Archie didnt want Eli to play in SD because he thought it was a poor organization and didnt want his son to experience what he did in NOLA. Then, they got really good nearly immediatly after that with Marty.

I wonder if Marty would have won a title with Eli?

[Red Beans]

Oh damn, I hate you.

They guy plays college ball at West Virginia. Outside of the possibility of proximity to family, it's not like WV's a cultural mecca. Hell, I'm surprised the mountain folk haven't revolted with a black QB at the helm of their prestigious institution. I have a hard time believing that spending time in KC would be any worse than spending time in Morgantown, WV...

[Nightfyre]

Amongst many of the scouting services, Ryan and Rivers were absolutely considered elite prospects. They weren't consensus like Eli Manning but they were considered elite prospects. Freeman and Roethlisberger were in that "next" group ala Ryan Tannehill last year.

Ryan had a lot of question marks and Rivers was absolutely a second-class citizen to Manning, who was more of a question-mark than Peyton.

Ryan and Rivers were both consensus top 10 QBs, just not elite. Geno Smith, to me, is a better prospect than Ryan, Schaub and Freeman were on tools alone. So is Geno Smith an elite prospect or not? To me, he is. Maybe he's not A+ like Luck and Griffin, but he is certainly no worse than an A-.

[mcaj22]

Geno Smith is not an elite prospect. Definitely a good prospect/player though.

[whoman69]

The Chiefs have forfeited the ability to judge an QB prospect elite or not. Their need is so great that if the player is a first round talent, he must be drafted. Its QB or bust. If the player busts then we rinse/repeat in 3 years.

[Nightfyre]

Geno Smith is not an elite prospect. Definitely a good prospect/player though.

Thanks for that completely subjective and well-thought analysis. You are such a waste of space.

If the Chiefs have the #1 overall pick, and the Bills come along and want to trade up to the Chiefs slot, would you do it?

The Chiefs could possibly still get a QB with Bills pick. But just knowing that they could receive a ton from the Bills, hmmmm....something to think about.

I'm with the majority that they should draft a QB, but, I don't think that you have to go 1st overall to get one. I still think they should draft one in the 1st regardless though.

I just don't feel as if drafting a QB is going to be the answer overnight. This team needs more than just a QB, if they can still get a ton of picks and a QB then the chances of addressing the holes on this team improve far more significantly.

It's something to think about. Having the 1st overall pick is almost like a luxury in this case.

We haven't had a top flight QB in TWENTY YEARS. We haven't had a homegrown QB EVER.

Well, if you haven ability at all in evaluating QBs, it would seem fairly easy to see that Geno is a better prospect and more complete of a passer than Ryan, Stafford, Bradford, Tannehill Weeden, Wilson, Newton, Flacco, etc.

How do "we" know if Geno is that good? Well, why don't you start by watching some fucking games. Youtube is a wonderful free entity that might help you out there.

I don't know how you define "elite QB prospect" but he's the best prospect not named RG3 or Luck to come out in quite some time. So, for me, he's elite.

[HemiEd]

Current franchise QBs who were not considered "elite" at the time they were drafted:
1) Tom Brady
2) Drew Brees
3) Matt Ryan
4) Ben Roethlisberger
5) Matt Schaub
6) Josh Freeman
7) Philip Rivers

Do you think all of those are elite now?

I might argue with you on a couple of them not being considered elite at draft time, but that is not the path I want to go down.

[BigCatDaddy]

Other than that whole winning the Heisman thing. let's not rewrite history.

Because everyone expects Heisman winning QB's to be special in the NFL. Go back and check mock drafts from this time last year. Hell there was a debate on if we should take him at 11 if he was there.

You heard all the usual crap. "He's a running QB." "He plays in the spread." "The offense and/or WR's are the reason for his numbers".

Let's not rewrite history that him and Luck were 1A and 1B all season long.

[bricks]

As much as I want the QB, I want a the head coach just as bad.

RGIII is great, and I have to attribute some of his successes to Shanny.

No. QB is the only choice for this team. They get the pick of the litter with the #1 overall so, trading out of that spot and hoping your guy will be there when you do finally pick is stupid IMO. Identify who you think "the man" is and take him.

QB may not fix everything thats wrong with this team but, it can fix a whole helluva lot

Let's say it's a best case scenario of a trade back and we move back to 4-6 and get the haul the Rams got of 2 first rounders and a second IN ADDITION TO THE 6th overall. At that point, we are talking about Aaron Murray, Matt Barkley, Glennon, Nassib, Jones, Thomas and a couple others as possibilities for the pick.

Fuck all that noise. I'm sick and tired of this team settling for second best at quarterback and building a team around quarterbacks that are "good enough" It's time to start the Geno to Bowe era in KC.

I feel so woefully underprepared for the CP mock draft this year because my entire focus and attention has been on QBs-- in discussion on and off CP and when I watch games. At least the last few years I was forced to bear the thought of the Chiefs going another year without a QB, so I got to know as many players as I could. Now that's all fucking gone.

So admittedly, I have no clue who it is we could pick up in addition to our Grade 2 QB. At this point, I don't even really fucking care. Bringing aboard Smith (and I would accept Wilson too) is of such tantamount importance that it doesn't fucking matter.

Did it matter who the Colts picked up in last year's draft? Fuck no. Colts fans looked at the rest of the draft and said, "Okay... a new TE? Sweet. A NT? Awesome. Cool..... yeah..... and HOLY SHIT WE GOT ANDREW LUCK!"

Maybe it's because I have no fucking clue what direction we're going to move in. Pioli and Crennel are going to be gone. Who we hire as replacements is anybody's guess, but you can bet your ass they'll be changing shit up. I have no idea if another defensive line rebuild would be advantageous starting in the second round, or if we should stock up on secondary, or maybe find some flashy as fuck offensive playmakers.

This is a long-winded way of saying I don't fucking give a fucking shit about more picks. This is kind of a shit draft overall. I really don't care about the nameless faces I don't know that we could add to our CBs and LBs and WRs. I just don't fucking give a shit.

Geno Smith or get fucked.

[bricks]

Who the **** would we draft with those extra picks?

Keep in mind that very likely 75% of those new guys won't work out. That's IF we got a deal like the Rams got for the 2nd overall last year.

I'd rather have the better QB.

I'm not thinking like that.

I'm thinking we trade out of the 1st overall slot down and still grab our 1st round QB.

I'm not saying we should do it, but I'm thinking what if they did and still managed to draft their QB? Get a couple of 1st rounders in the process maybe throw in the fact that the Chiefs will have a few 2nd rounders. And then let's say they scored on half of those extra picks?

Yeah I want the QB too. But you know what? It's more than a QB, I'm thinking greedy here, I want a ****ing QB, a LBer, another DB and some damn good WRs and OL on top.

[Nightfyre]

Find the best QB. Draft the best QB 1st overall. Win.

[Rugby Thompson]

Fitzpatrick sucks

[ILChief]

Didn't the bills overpay Fitzpatrick already?

About like we overpaid Cassel

[htismaqe]

I'm not saying we should do it, but I'm thinking what if they did and still managed to draft their QB?

What if they did and managed to get a handful of dogshit on no QB?

[bricks]

It could go either way but I'm thinking big

[Nightfyre]

Not really.

[htismaqe]

I'm just saying that "Nobody thought RGIII was anything special this time last year" is bullshit.

In his 1st December mock draft, Todd McShay had RG3 going THIRTY SECOND.

The "nobody thought RG3 was anything special this time last year" is ABSOLUTELY true when it comes to the pundits.

Now if you're talking about this and other message boards, lots of people thought he was special.

But Kiper, McShay, and all these idiots saying there's no QB worth a 1st round pick this year had RG3 at the BOTTOM of their first round this time last year.

[htismaqe]

You're being greedy. That's a good way to end up with an ILB, OT, and NO FUCKING QB.

Meanwhile, some of the CP prognosticators correctly predicted that he would go much much earlier.

[bricks]

You're being greedy. That's a good way to end up with an ILB, OT, and NO ****ING QB.

:LOL:

It's a good way to end up with a QB, an ILB and NO ****ING OT.

We are going to get it dont worry:p It's our time baby!

NFP had him at 5 on 12/7/11. Kiper had him at 4 in January.

So no, 'nobody thought RGIII was anything special at this time last year" is bullshit. I'm right.

[notorious]

This offseason could cause CP to go Chernobyl

Honestly, there are some days I wish the server would melt down and not get replaced for a few months.


Talking Chiefs football on here for the last 6 years usually ends up pissing me off.

[Chiefnj2]

NFP had him at 5 on 12/7/11. Kiper had him at 4 in January.

So no, 'nobody thought RGIII was anything special at this time last year" is bullshit. I'm right.

Tony Pauline of SI also had him at 12 the first week of November. By December he had climbed even more (I also found the NFP rating you did).

[GloryDayz]

I'm sure all CHunt sees are dollar signs.... They'll pay him by stuffing coin in an offshore account... I suspect he's thinking about it and planning on using the, "It's not a good draft class" excuse as his justification to line his pockets yet again...

[Sorter]

Geno Smith or get ****ed.

^^This.

[milkman]

Not sure that telling everyone that this is the time to trade up for a QB is the right thing to do, but at least Nix isn't saying "Ryan Fitzpatrick is our starting QB, and I think everyone knows that".

[Hammock Parties]

and in this draft you don't think Pioli will be tempted to trade the 1st for multiples?

Why are people so dumb?

Pioli is done.

[SAUTO]

Yep, no way he survives this. If he does, clark will have proven beyond a shaddow of a doubt that he is in way over his head and I will put serious thought into turning in my fan card.

[Chris Meck]

In year 4, on coach #2, after "22 guys off the street could win two games", Pioli's likely to have a team that wins...2 games.

He's done. He won't be drafting anyone this spring.

[Rausch]

And that retarded trade partner is Pioli...

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

The guys who didn't know RG3 would be this good are McShay and Kiper.

He was at the bottom of the first on both guys big boards last year this time.

Further proving at the end of the day, these two are worth less than a bag of dickhammers.

Geno Smith or get fucked.

This. This right here.

I'm not a Smith fan. At all.

DO NOT WANT.

That said we get a new GM ready to build around the QB I'll shut my mouf and love grooming anyone...

Sir, this is one of those times where your opinion veers in to "useless bag o' dickhammers" territory. I've been there too. It's okay.:D

We're no longer trying. We're canning this abortion of management, drafting Geno, and shall commence DOING.

[whoman69]

If we miss on a first round QB this year, three years later rinse/repeat. I have no problem with the Chiefs struggling for a time if it means they're finally serious about getting a QB they can develop.

[Chief Roundup]

Further proving at the end of the day, these two are worth less than a bag of dickhammers.

I won't totally disagree but they are not just projecting talent but how that talent will equate into the NFL.
Has any NFL team every been successful running the spread option type of offense that they are using in Washington? Not that I can remember.
I am not saying Griffin can't run a "normal" offense. But I don't think he would be nearly as successful in a WC, Coryell, etc. that we see run by most teams.

If Griffin and the skins can't figure out a way to better protect him Griffin won't last long. 13 games into the season and already a concussion and knee injury.

[Hammock Parties]

Geno, and shall commence DOING.
