    Let me get this straight

    Both the Jets and Patriots took Quarterbacks in the draft to groom and they already have solid starters. The Bills have Ryan Fitzpatrick and Levi Brown on the roster. That's it. And Brown was cut last year once. Why the hell wouldn't the Bills have taken a single QB in the draft? Even a project. McElroy would have been a good project and the Jets took him.

    Now before you all rip me for being negative. I love our draft for the most part and am happy they filled big holes on the defense. But I don't understand why Nix/Gailey wouldn't take a single QB. Fitzpatrick's contract is up after the season. And again, all we have is Levi freaking Brown! WTF!

    The only thing I can think of is that the team is targeting a couple guys in free agency. But I don't know.

    I think they liked Newton and Ponder this year, and when getting either one of them was pretty much impossible they said screw it, we'll wait until next season.

          I think it is quite obvious that the Bills would have taken a quarterback if there was one that they liked. The had three quarterbacks in for a visit, all three were taken before they could draft them. I am not sure why some of you get so upset because they don't do what you want them to do. They are not going to take a quarterback that they don't want, move on. McElroy won't be groomed to be the Jets franchise, they took a shot at hoping he will be a serviceable backup, nothing more.

            Nix actually said last year that he's not a McNabb fan. Fitz is the guy next season.

              I could see that. I honestly think they were shocked that Ponder was grabbed that high and they targeted him for a trade back into the 1st round or right at their 2nd round pick.

                I'm not really upset, but I'm just confused. I don't understand why they wouldn't even take a flier on a late round QB project.

                  Then it will be some other vet. The Bills are not going into camp with just Fitz, Brown, and whoever.

                    Why waste a draft pick on a guy that won't be here next year? They can go with what they have now and worry about QB next year. They like what they have.

                        If they took a QB then we'd go through the process of figuring out if they were worth holding on to and once a team invests in a QB the time starts ticking for the coaching staff and the GM. They are doing as the Jets did. Building the team up in the trenches and touching up on other positions and then once we have done enough to shore up certain spots we will look for a QB of the future. Fitz is a fantastic stop gap who could potentially take a team to the playoffs if given the tools. You cannot criticize the team for not picking another 3rd string QB when we can pick one up in FA that is probably better.

                            I'm starting to think that too.

                              Exactly my thinking. If you don't think he's going to be a franchise QB, than why take him? The Bills have more pressing needs.
