    One Fact We Do Know -- We Have Never Developed a QB

    Even Jim Kelly was developed by the WFL before he came to Buffalo.

    Here is an out of the box idea ==> why not trade our 1st round pick to New England for Ryan Mallett?

    He has spent 2 years learning from Brady under something we don't have -- competent coaching.

    Perhaps he is now actually NFL ready.

      Sorry.

      I meant to say successfully developed.

      New England knows how to draft and develop players.

      They felt confidant enough in Mallet before the season started to move him up to 2nd string.

      Why don't we assume they know what they are doing and trade for him.

        Kelly played in the USFL, not WFL.

          We developed Frank Reich, Joe Ferguson & before them Daryle Lamonica.
          Here's a better idea-Instead of trading our #1 for a guy we didn't want 2 years ago & hasn't proven anything in the NFL and giving our #1 to a divisional rival, why don't we get a GM who isn't afraid of the word quarterback on the days they hold the draft. Also, let's get a coach capable of developing a QB & not letting him wait years before he puts him in and uses excuses for not playing his players like "He got winded".

            Here's a question. If Bill Bellichick is willing to trade Ryan Mallet to an AFC East opponent with his own starter being 34 years old, would you trust him?
            I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

            I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

              Well that sounds easy.

              That's why it will take our first round pick.

                the Bills need to get a coaching staff that knows how to develop a QB first.

                  Buffalo has tried to develop QBs in the past but the problem is they seem to always miss. Trading a 1st RD pick to Dallas so we could pick JP Losman AFTER Rivers, Manning, and Roethlesberger was just plain stupid.

                    The point of the thread is that we take advantage of Mallet being developed already for 2 years by New England -- the best starting QB and best HC in the NFL.

                    We could then ruin Mallet but it could be argued that 2 years of training in New England is pretty good training right now for a potential starting QB.

                      NO MORE GIVING NE DRAFT PICKS FOR ****'S SAKE!

                      I agree on developing the QB though- it's organizational failure that starts at the top.

                        Yeah, well the Chiefs traded for a Pats back up QB a few years ago, didn't work out too well for them.

                            Yeah, but the answer is not a Pats* castoff..................that has never even played a game in the NFL. I would much prefer Matt Flynn or Matt Moore if the Bills sign another teams castoff.

                              Plenty of teams flop at judging QB talent in the NFL.
