I’m not nearly as high on Geno as I was in the early part of the season.

That said, I don’t blame WVU’s downfalls on Geno, they had one of the worst defenses in football. I still see a lot of upside in Geno. He has been considered mentally gifted from an early age, something that sets him apart from guys like J. Russell or V. Young. Plus, he did not make a living being a scrambling QB like Young, he has always been a pocket passer. Geno also still has room to grow. He’s become much more physically imposing since his freshman year.

I know there is bust potential with him, but after watching Geno and Fitz play, Geno is already a better QB. The throws he makes weekly are ones that I can only dream of Fitz ever making.

Geno has size, brains and a great arm. Why not give him a shot?….

If you want a sleeper QB that will be available in the lower rounds with no trade up necessary, think about taking a flyer on Nick Florence from Baylor. He’s as accurate a thrower as there is in the college game, a great runner and competitor and oh, yes, he leads the nation in total offense.

Good thing he will only have to trade up into the second round.

That would be a great idea if were still a mobile QB. You see him running away from anyone this year?

So you’re telling us that Ryan Fitzpatrick was NOT the answer????

A year late on that one, Chief. Cost you a fat extension and several missed oportunities.

Give Oakland a call… Guaranteed to be holding one of the top 3 picks… Plus we would want to trade down because QB is one position that isnt a problem (sarcasm)

Too bad there are no QBs in the draft. Bills blew it BAD when they upped Fitz after 3-4 great games.

Who signs an un-proven QB midseason after 3-4 good games? The Bills do.

Entire team AND brass need to be cleared out.

Mike Vick, Alex Smith, Matt Flynn, Kirk Cousins, Joe Flacco is a FA next year, TIM TEBOW! — Most, if not all, of these guys are available to be had next year. I would take them over any of the guys coming out of this years draft.

Why would any GM tell everyone , months before the draft what he plans to do ?

damon089 — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 16:22:34 +0000

How about get someone who could be cut after this year? You need a mobile QB to thrive in a Spread offense. MIKE VICK PEOPLE.

And now he thinks that passing on Andy Dalton, Colon Kaepernick, Nick Foles, Russell Wilson, and can anyone else add to the list, might have been mistakes.
Isn’t it time to hold somebody accountable for not drafting a good QB and drafting players like Spiller, who I will say again is an undersized running back and that running backs are not good first round picks. They passed on Jason Pierre-Paul for Spiller and then to fill the hole, had to sign Mario Williams to a huge contract. How many running backs could they have signed with that money. How many teams make the playoffs each year with no first round running backs on their roster?
They picked a CB, Aaron Williams, over Andy Dalton. I am not saying Dalton is a superstar, but he is a better player than A. Williams.. And there are no superstar QB’s in this years draft. There are ones that might develop in a few years but none to give away draft picks to move up for.

First we need to trade up for an owner that has a clue. We wll NEVER win without an attitude change at the top.

Nix is the best GM this side of Jerry Jones! Keep up the good work, Buddy.

They cant get one in this draft cuz Geno smith isnt a great QB neither is Barkely. Signing Smith or trading for Flynn shoukd be option A for the bills. They need to push fitz and draft a 2nd or 3rd round QB

By: buddysguys

buddysguys — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:32:35 +0000

he will just end up trading up in the 2nd or 3rd rd for an average QB at best. That’s how he rolls.

“Geno Smith equals Vince Young”

Um, no. Geno Smith is an exceptional student since a child, throws like a real qb and actually can speak the english language.

I know this has nothing to do with the Bills’ QB situation, but has anybody noticed the season that Mario Williams has put together so far? Pretty darn good. Not $100 million good, but a lot better than he was doing earlier in the year. Just sayin’…………

Trading for Matt Flynn would be the smartest thing for this team

Nix has the right idea, but he doesn’t need to move up in the draft to get one of the top guys. Look at the bottom rung teams in need of a QB- Cheifs, Cards…and…. maybe Raiders? But last year shored up the Dolphins, Colts, Seahawks, Browns and Skins. The year before Panthers, Vikes, Titans, Bengals, Jags. There’s hardly a team in need of a QB. So while I agree, this year’s QB class is weak at best, Nix really doesn’t need to start trading away multiple picks to get one of the top 3 guys, who in my opinion are all pretty much on the same level. And no, Barkley is not in that group.

By: eatitfanboy

eatitfanboy — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:06:45 +0000

Um, no, the time for trading up to get a QB was LAST year.

You remember last year, when you gave a mediocre QB 24 million in guaranteed money?

Can someone explain to me how a guy can keep his job after openly admitting he needs to waste extra picks to move up and draft a player for a position he just dumped so much money into?

This team seems to lack any semblance of a plan… except the one to not hand the ball off to their best RB.
