If you’re a Bills fan then you definitely have an opinion about what’s wrong with the 2012 Buffalo Bills and that answer probably involves the QB at one point or another. As we continue to go through the Bye Week and look towards the 2nd half of the season one thing has become quite apparent. The Bills need to make a change at QB and they need to make a decisive one. The Bills have three options as always they can draft a new QB, they can sign a new QB, or they could go and trade for a new QB. Below are 16 options the Bills could choose to be picking from this coming offseason.

I'd personally like to see Geno Smith in a Bills uni. This kid is extremely intriguing.

After 3 1/2 seasons: 835 completions, 82 TDs and ONLY 17 ints in 1238 attempts. His college career completion percentage is 68% with a 7.6 YPA and a total career passer rating of 147.0

I know Barkely's numbers are similar but I like what Geno has been able to do with the WVU offense.

Let's draft as many of these guys as we can & hope one of them pans out.

Rivers would be the best option!

I want to draft a QB.

On Mike Vick

He had a good run in Philly but that has since ended. He is plagued with turnovers and errant throws. Still, he is a lot of what Gailey likes in a QB

After bringing in Jackson, Thigpen, and Fitzpatrick, I'm starting to wonder if turnovers and errant throws are what Gailey actually wants in a quarterback.

No to Gabbert. No to Romo unless he comes very cheap.

Yes to Smith, Yes to Barkley.

Give me Geno Smith, Zac Dysert, and Vick next year.... competition

Re: BBD: Examining Potential 2013 QB Options

Geno Smith would be the most exciting to me of all the possible options, but I'm not going to get my hopes up for any of the top prospects. I'd like to believe that their struggles could give us a better shot at getting one, but the reality is they'll go higher than they should even if people have their doubts.

Rivers would certainly be intriguing and the kind of move that would fool me into believing we're playoff bound, but I've been less and less impressed with him over the last few years. Maybe a change would be good for him though. It would be interesting to see what Gailey could do with a talented qb.

It would make sense for the Bills to go hard after a FA qb assuming a guy like Rivers or Romo are available. If we have a third losing season in a row and Nix and Gailey get a 4th year, it's going to be really hard for them to start a rookie qb knowing that they'll likely miss the playoffs again.

Re: BBD: Examining Potential 2013 QB Options

My issue with a Rookie Qb is they usually take time to develop and you didn't win right away. This team needs to start winning now! We are better off drafting someone in the second or third round and trade for a rivers, romo or Vick

Re: BBD: Examining Potential 2013 QB Options

For a while, Logan Thomas was the QB du jour among draftniks, and now he has fallen completely off the radar. I know the current thought on him is that he needs to stay in school, and he might well do so. But what if he doesn't? Is he someone the Bills could take with the notion that he would ride the bench for a while to gain some maturity and hone his skills?

Josh Freeman has been playing very well of late and I doubt he is available anytime soon.

Re: BBD: Examining Potential 2013 QB Options

Where are you guys coming up with all these names like Rivers, Romo, Gabbert, and Vick? Do you really think they will become available? I do not.

That would be ok with me. It would take them out of the running for drafting one of the top prospects.

Vick might get his coach fired (again), Gabbert isn't Mularkey's baby, and Romo spends half his days as Dallas' pariah. I can easily see all three being available.
