Buffalo Bills met with RGIII

[DraftBoy]

NFLN just minutes ago said that RGIII confirmed he has met with the Buffalo Bills.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
dont spend any brain cells thinking about this.

[wmoz11]

Doesn't really mean a thing. I'd give up almost anything to get that kid, though.

He's one of the most impressive athletes/people that I've seen come out of college.

[Luisito23]

Besides wasting everyone's time, what's the purpose of this stupid meeting.

2 years in a row we see a player at the QB position and the skills are unreal.
This year Luck and RG3 is unreal.

It's called the Bills are doing there job.

[ddaryl]

but this will start the trade up rumors swirling

[ServoBillieves]

We'll trade up for him, no doubt.

He's talented, athletic, and isn't one of those "high motor" white guys...

Wait... that means we have no interest...

Rounding out there report in case he ever becomes a FA in the future they have some info to look back on

[Forward_Lateral]

It's called due dilligence.

[DrGraves]

maybe the FO realized fitz can't throw a deep ball!

[PTI]

maybe the FO realized fitz can't throw a deep ball!

He has trouble with almost every throw out there, not just deep balls, even screen passes are crap, throws behind on slants like the one to Johnson against Cincy that really was caught but since it was behind it gave the appearance he trapped it, and he regularly gets is WRS killed. Seattle won 8 with Whitehurt and Jackson, and the Cards won 8 games mostly with Skelton, there is little doubt in my mind the Bills could have won close to that with just about anyone at QB.

Bills must do all they can to try and get one of these guys, and if not they must consider the Tanehills, Cousins, Weedens type of guys.

[YardRat]

Bills must do all they can to try and get one of these guys,

No.

[ThunderGun]

What's the over-under on how many people spell "their" wrong in this thread?

[better days]

I predict he probably meets with about 20 teams before the draft.

[kingJofNYC]

Small school guy, didn't play in the SEC, typical Bills, am I right?

[better days]

"TODAY, I am 6'2&3/8"" Well, at least he isn't a small guy from a small school.

[The Jokeman]

NFLN just minutes ago said that RGIII confirmed he has met with the Buffalo Bills.
Maybe we were trying to get the skinny on Kendall Wright.

[DraftBoy]

Maybe we were trying to get the skinny on Kendall Wright.

Happens all the time.

However I think this was simply the Bills doing their due diligence. If the price is right, don't think the Bills wouldn't bite. There is about a .000000001% chance of the price being right though.

[Skooby]

4.41 in the 40 yard dash, whoa.

[Yasgur's Farm]

4.38 was the 2nd try.

[Skooby]

4.38 was the 2nd try.

The guy has Vick speed with a Jim Kelly arm, how isn't this guy going 1st? I can also see why the Bills are looking at him, if obtained I'd say we'd have a full house & a good back-up in Fitz (where he belongs).

[k-oneputt]

Small school guy, didn't play in the SEC, typical Bills, am I right?

He plays in the Big -12 so he isn't one of our typical small school guys.
The SEC guys on our team are the best players and some of them where late picks or free agents, go fiqure,
Please list the good small school guys on the Bills. That's when they are not hurt. Zing.:biggrin:

[Extremebillsfan247]

but this will start the trade up rumors swirlinglol You had to know it was coming at some point. It's what makes this time of year fun. JMO

[Mahdi]

I don't think a trade up should be ruled out. We're talking about a phenom here. The kid is loaded with talent and athleticism. He's a jacked up Mike Vick with a rocket arm and accuracy.

The Bills SHOULD be thinking of ways to get up to #2 to take him otherwise their crazy. Granted we may not have the ammo to get there but we should definitely be thinking about how we can.

[Mike]

Aren't you guys glad we won a few more meaningless games this year? This was our year to suck for luck, except we were too stupid to do such a obvious thing. Weve sucked for 12 straight years, but the bills can not even get loosing right.

Ask colt fans if they regret this year or the year they drafted Payton. In any case, bills weren't going to win SB this year & they didn't

[Night Train]

Who WILL overpay for him ? Either Cleveland or Washington, who have the needed number of picks and desperate outlook.

Rams will make out like a bandit and must convert all those picks into useful players.

[alohabillsfan]

Wow, some fans are really pathetic...

Lets hope Wash and Cleve start bidding on Peyton and Flynn....

[jamze132]

As great as it would be to get RGIII, it's not realistic and I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[DraftBoy]

Agreed.

[Skooby]

Improve through the draft was the FO's motto, well here's your chance.

[Extremebillsfan247]

Improve through the draft was they FO's motto, well here's your chance.That's a big leap from 10th to 2nd overall. The cost would probably be very steep considering other teams that pick in front of us might also be interested in RGIII. Watch out for Washington.

[better days]

Lets hope Wash and Cleve start bidding on Peyton and Flynn....

I expect Cleveland to trade up to #2. Wash, Cleve, Miami & Seattle will get into the bidding war for Peyton & Flynn.

The Rams would be stupid to trade down any further than they have to. Although, I think the Rams are stupid for trading at all because Bradford will prove to be an injury prone mediocre QB. Cleveland not only has the highest pick but also the amunition to make the trade up.

[CleveSteve]

Cleveland is not interested in Manning. We know we're not good enough to win in the next year or two and Manning wouldn't want to go to a cold weather outdoor team with no receivers lol.

Flynn is a possibility, but it makes more sense for Miami to get him since his old QB coach is the head coach there and they have less of a shot of moving up in the draft. I think Miami will overpay for Flynn.

That, of course, assumes that Mike Sherman can't talk Philbin into Tannehill. A bird in the hand, though...

Seattle, Washington, Houston, San Fran. Those are the teams I think are going to fight over Manning.

[Albany,n.y.]

What's the over-under on how many people spell "their" wrong in this thread?
Their only posting because they care enough and don't want the Bills to loose anymore.

[OpIv37]

It's just not gonna happen, people. It would require us to give up way too much.

And the org has committed to Fitz. Like it or not, it's the reality.

I'm surprised they even met with him. I think they're just trying to bump up the price for other teams that may be interested in trading up by feigning interest themselves.

[Philagape]

I think they're just trying to bump up the price for other teams that may be interested in trading up by feigning interest themselves.

If so, I kinda doubt other teams are crying "Oh no, the Bills! Gotta go deep into the vault now!"

That said, I like RGIII too much to not inquire about the price.

[CleveSteve]

Or get some info on Wright or Ganaway. I'm assuming you're not in the market for Blake OC.

[OpIv37]

If so, I kinda doubt other teams are crying "Oh no, the Bills! Gotta go deep into the vault now!"

That said, I like RGIII too much to not inquire about the price.

It's not quite like that. If a team contacts the Rams about the pick, they have leverage in saying "well, make us a good offer, because we have X number of other teams interested in Griffin." The higher that number, the more the Rams will get for the pick, especially if they're teams in the top 1/3 of the draft where something could potentially get done.

[trapezeus]

i hope RGIII can rush the passer. because if we trade up for him, we won't improve the pass rush and the bills defense will suck for a 3rd straight year.

[jamze132]

RGIII can run so fast, he can run around the Earth and punch himself in the back of the head.

[SABURZFAN]

the Bills only met with him because it didn't cost The Old Fart additional expenses to do so. let's see if they show up at the Baylor Pro Day.

[Mr Bills]

Hopefully the Bills do something smart for once and try and get an actual franchise QB

[Extremebillsfan247]

Hopefully the Bills do something smart for once and try and get an actual franchise QB lol Watch this, RGIII knows offense http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-combine/09000d5d82742179/RGIII-shows-his-smarts?module=HP11_cp The Bills have to at least entertain the thought of moving up for him even if they dont succeed in trying. Worst thing that can happen is that they force someone else to pay more to move up to number 2 to get him. JMO But wow.

[bosshogg21]

Wow...that was impressive. This kid is gonna be a good one. There's no way can newton could have pulled that off and look how good he turned out. I'd like to mortgage the future for this guy.

[Mr Bills]

The pros of trading up for Griffin outweighs the cons EASILY.
Pros
- Legit franchise QB potential and is a great fit for Gailey's system, much better than Fitzpatrick
- Will attract FAs to Buffalo in 2013 and beyond
- Lower bust rate than any pass rusher in this draft
- Will sell a lot more tickets next year
Cons
- Cost atleast 2 possibly 3 1st round picks.

3 - 5 years from now the chances of the Bills being a perennial playoff contender will be a lot higher with Griffin than Fitzpatrick or which ever mid round scrub the Bills attempt to draft every year.
