Football Bills GM: 'Time is now' to trade up for a QB - Page 13

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

Quote:

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.

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.

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.

Damn I hope Pioli is fired. He is probably all excited at the prospect of making a deal with the Bills as we speak.

Lol, this whole thing sounds like they think they can trade back into the first from the second.

Like taking a qb that slips.

This offseason could cause CP to go Chernobyl

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.

**** 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.

Didn't the bills overpay Fitzpatrick already?

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 ****ing 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 ****ing care. Bringing aboard Smith (and I would accept Wilson too) is of such tantamount importance that it doesn't ****ing matter.

Did it matter who the Colts picked up in last year's draft? **** 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 ****ing 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 **** offensive playmakers.

This is a long-winded way of saying I don't ****ing give a ****ing 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 ****ing give a shit.

Geno Smith or get ****ed.

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.

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

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

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.
