I'm not convinced QB is the biggest of this team's worries.

[BillsWin]

I was in denial. I never knew we were THIS bad, or lacked THIS much talent.

For years I've been saying, "When we get a QB things will turn around."

I now think that we have more fish to fry before a QB becomes our biggest problem. Yes, we need a franchise QB BADLY, but at the moment, I think it may be detrimental to the growth of the team to waste a top pick on a QB who will most likely fail. We might as well stick it out with what we got for another season and build a team before throwing in a top pick.

Not saying Fitz is the answer or Brohm, but wide receivers are dropping balls everywhere, balls that should be caught.

Our running backs are struggling to get anything going behind a putrid offensive line.

Our QBs are running for their lives.

We have absolutely zero pass rush.

Our secondary has regressed.

Our linebacker corps are among the weakest in the NFL.

You pick it, we can upgrade it. Aside from RB.

I'm not convinced that QB needs to be our No. 1 pick in the draft now. With so many holes, if QB isn't the BPA when our pick comes up, we HAVE to go with BPA. Especially if that player is a wide receiver, OLB or OT.

Honestly, knowing that this is going to be a huge task to under take, I would start Brohm next season and build from the trenches and get a legit WR. We also need a starting caliber OLB.

What's the worst that can happen? Brohm sucks ass and we get the No. 1 overall pick the next season? I'm fine with that. Especially if Luck isn't even coming out this year.

This isn't an easy fix folks. We aren't going to turn it all around in a season. We are taking on a Rams/Lions rebuilding effort. Not a Miami Dolphins 1-15 to 11-5 miracle turn around.


Doesn't matter if there is a lock out. But still, it's going to take at least this draft and probably another one. A few seasons of top picks might do us good. Detroit and St. Louis are in the process of getting better.

You are right, but the horrible part is we still need a QB. In terms of looking at this mess, it's not ranking the players from worst to best, it's ranking them from utterly useless to average.

Im seeing a lot of these comments about the OL... The issue isnt whether we need one, its where we are picking. We are likely to be picking top 3. There isnt any OT's worthy of that pick... the best are only mid to late 1st rounders. And I Think we need a RT, not a LT... same for OLB.

I dont want to reach. WR is a possibility with a guy like Green possibly being worthy of that high of a pick, DT, DE, and QB are the most likely scenarios.

The biggest need is a legitimate NFL caliber coaching staff and front office.

We had an offseason to try and get one of those...we failed.

Re: I'm not convinced QB is the biggest of this team's worries.

i say we draft a QB and groom it if we get the top pick or a top 5 pick...then hopefully we get more picks at the deadline this year which we can use to trade back into the first round so we can get an OT

Re: I'm not convinced QB is the biggest of this team's worries.

We are picking in the top 3 next year. Basically we have 2 first round picks, one being late. One should be used on a QB becuase every elite team has a franchise QB, that's how you get things going in the right direction. The next pick needs to be aimed at getting some big, strong, nasty, fast, and smart DE that rushes the passer. How long has it been since wev'e had a game where the opposing QB ran for his life at least 5-10 times a game? It hurts to watch our guys get zero pressure on the QB every week.

We also NEED to be active in FA and pick up a big name.

I will say this. I love Lynch, but the fact is he is going to walk away at the end of this season. We need to trade him now, and get somebody for him. We need to start building towards next season. IMO our top priorities are in this order: QB, LB, OL, DE, WR, TE.

For a RT, we might be able to land Carimi in the 2nd, or Sherrod, Reynolds, Hairston later. I dont know that we need a 1st rounder.

This is good. Id like to see us add a pass rush OLB, pass rush DE/DT, ILB, and a SS.

I dont know that I want much on the OL besides a RT in say round 2.

TE, I like guys like Kendricks and DJ Williams, probably get either later than round 2.

Re: I'm not convinced QB is the biggest of this team's worries.

Of course we need a 1st round QB, quit you whining. We suck, 1 defensive player isnt gonna do crap for us. Neither will 1 OL guy. QB is are biggest flaw.

A good QB, that makes plays, fixes a lot of that other ****, most of the time. Look around the league...good teams have legit QBs, more often than not.

The Rams were in the same boat as us last year with no talent on their team except for Steven Jackson and they took Bradford. I think they made the right decision.

[BillsWin]

Re: I'm not convinced QB is the biggest of this team's worries.

I don't think people understand what I was saying. IF the BPA is a QB then take one. My point of the thread was that IF QB is not the highest rated player on the board, and that player is in fact an OT, OLB, WR whatever. We could pick them and really should if that player could be a stud.

If Luck is on the board, I'd take him. But who else is really a top 5 QB at this point? Perhaps that will change.
