You have to draft a QB next year.

[Buffalo Thriller]

I'm not saying you grab a guy in the 1st round, but something's gotta give. If EJ is our guy that's great but we see what happens when he goes down. Tuel doesn't belong on the PS not to mention the NFL. Flynn was beat out by Russell Wilson and Pryor. Thad is a 3rd stringer at best. So why wouldn't you draft one next year, especially one as deep as the upcoming class? Guys like Derek Carr, AJ McCarron, or Aaron Murray. All of those guys are legitimate QBs who may even be better than EJ.

Depends on how EJ looks the rest of the year

More idiocy.

Many of us argued we should have done it this year.

Only way I agree is if we can't sign a legit #2 vet backup prior to the draft... which I think is very possible.

I can't necessarily agree. Lewis is young and proven competive enough to be a number 2 QB, makes Tuel expendable imho. They can figure who the vet will be among Kolb, Dixon and Flynn, if, big IF, Manuel can play out the year capably when he comes back.

It's not idiocy to have depth at a position. The only way to do so is through FA or the draft. I guess your happy with the street queens we seem to find and hand them the playbook.

I disagree.

I think we have to draft two QBs.

I won't disagree with this. But, I want competition. The #3 QB spot shouldn't be a throw away. Today's starter was a #4 who should never have even been a #3. And this year then shows that we had better be more on the ball when we lose our #2... Next guy up implies starting from within which means you quality of starter goes down and down.

Let's see, Tuel has ONE NFL start and did OK considering. Manuel has been OK in 5 Total starts. We have been competitive in almost every game. But, you and others are ready to give up on them already.

The typical NFL fan does not appreciate competitive players learning on the job, they want wins.....and they want them yesterday.

I agree that Manuel has done fine, but Tuel is not gonna last in this league nor should he. All I'm saying is the QB position on this team backup wise is not where it should be and should be addressed in the upcoming draft.

Re: You have to draft a QB next year.

It is not idiocy to draft another QB or even two next year.

Tuel's not an NFL QB. Thad Lewis is a journeyman and sadly may be the best QB on the roster. Even if Manuel is better he's now injury prone with two bad knees and how much confidence can you put on his knees holding up for an entire season let alone 5-7 seasons?

The most important position on the field you need results and you need a guy who doesn't get hurt constantly. So you might as well keep drafting them until you get one.

If Tajh Boyd is available at the pick, he better be walking up to the podium holding a Bills jersey.

We look like we are heading for a 6-10 season. Boyd will be available at 12th overall?

We will draft a Safety to replace Byrd -- anything to avoid drafting OL.

Yeah.

Re: You have to draft a QB next year.

I think too many make snap judgments. You have two rookies who have hardly played and you want to draft another QB high? Do any of you consider the development factor in a QB? Maturation? No many come in the league, start as a rookie and immediately succeed. Aikman didn't, Manning didn't. Montana and Brady didn't even start their first year. Elway did kinda at 9-7. I can name others, but you get the point.

So why use another 1st rd pick on a QB? You want to draft one in the third, fine.

Re: You have to draft a QB next year.

I think its premature to consider drafting a QB at this point. Seems to me we have several back-ups already on the team. Quite a few with experience under the belt: Kolb, Lewis, Tuel, and Flynn.

Now if EJ proves that he's not grasping things, comes up lame AGAIN, or is just plain bad the remainder of the season, then yeah, draft another guy early. I'm all for it then.
