It's not often a franchise is expected to be in that position often. Do it wrong, well we see what Mike Williams did to this franchise.
The ideal situation is for Luck to be there. And he still may come out as Harbough is likely gone from Standford. but I really doubt that the Bills can get to him primarily because Carolina as a franchise would not pass him up. Still I want luck to come out because that pushes more talented guys down to us.
The safe way is to take a top ranked guy in any position. We are high enough that we practically can take the best out of a number of positions, be it DT, CB, etc. Lord knows we can use a star potential guy at any position on this team.
But I come back to the main theme. We need a franchise QB and I don't know we can count on Fritz for that. That bring us to Cam Newton. To be honest, I was against getting anywhere near him at first. Like Vick before him, he is probably better served to stay in college level and improve his skills at reading defense and throw the ball accurately. But we all know he's sure to come out due to his other problems.
So it is up to the coaches, namely Gailey, I guess, who was the one at Pittsburgh created the then brand new slash Kordell Stewart. There is no doubt comparing college level skills, Newton is a huge upgrade over Stewart. Can Gailey get through Newton, over time? We do have time, at least two years in fact where Fitz will be starting. So Newton can be this slash guy, the wildcat guy to compliment Fitz for at least two years to learn and improve at Pro level.
This is very tempting, also high risk with a potential high reward for this franchise. If Gailey says so, I'd be going for it.
Does anyone know Newton's work ethics? I was very surprised to hear Vick saying that he never actually studied film until his 2nd go-around in NFL. Somehow Newton struck me as having that kind of personality. The problem is the Bills cannot wait for Newton to his 2nd go-around in NFL.
