Gailey doesn't rule out QB at 3

[BillsWin]

“No, I wouldn’t say that at all,” Gailey said.*”What has to happen is everybody has to understand is that I think Fitz is a really good quarterback and I think he can take our team to the playoffs, but if you’ve got a chance to get a guy that you think for 10 or 12 years is going to be the guy, Fitz has moved on up in years too.

“How many years do you expect to be able to draft at number three and be able to get a guy like that even if you put him under wraps for a year or two, while you’re grooming him? You have to consider that. We’re not in here just thinking about short term next year what can we do for the Buffalo Bills. Buddy (Nix) and I are committed to the long term success of the Buffalo Bills.”

Any QB fit that bill?

At #3? Probably Cam Newton. Especially if he has a really good championship game and does well at the combine and during interviews. The athleticism is there. The arm is there. It's just a matter of getting him acclimated to running a pro offense and going through multiple progressions.

Not saying we should or shouldn't draft him but he seems like a guy Chan would like for his offense.

Wow what a refreshing view from a Bills head coach.

Gailey is the right man for the job.

That read like a warning volley to those fans who don't want us taking a QB.

Prepare for us to (over)draft Newton or Gabbert. Which after overdrafting bums like McCargo, Losman, Whitner, Williams, et al, I am perfectly OK with.

It is going to be an interesting three+ months!

People won't care that we reached for someone if they turn out to be a star. However, if we do pick a guy like Newton or Gabbert and they completely bust...then yeah, that's going to hurt for a while.

Of course you're going to keep your options open. I doubt Gailey wants to tip his hand (if they even have a hand at this point) 3.5 months before the draft.

I'm still confident they won't draft a QB at #3.

Re: Gailey doesn't rule out QB at 3

Everyone talks about "reach". Whose to say right now that the guy picked #15 isn't better then the guy pick #5 ?

It happens all the time. Just because one of the so called "experts" say's it isn't "value" doesn't mean it's right.

I'm tellin ya right now, if we draft Newton, we finally have something. I just hope if we plan to do that, that they address DL via free agency.

I read that as the exact opposite. If there is a QB actually worth taking at 3, they'll take him but don't expect us to play him right away.

Thats what i took out of it to. Fitz is going to be the starter next year if we get a Qb in the draft or not . This would be the best situation to draft a Qb have him sit for a year maybe two that would be ideal.

Re: Gailey doesn't rule out QB at 3

The position the Bills are in, no position can be overlooked at #3. It would be nice to be able to fill as many positions as possible through FA, but that's probably not going to be the case at QB. Fitz can handle the position temporarily and I'm sure Fitz would be an outstanding mentor and teacher to any young QB drafted.

Oh and as far as my previous statement about no position can be overlooked, we better not draft no damn WR or RB.
