    So when will the Bills be a complete team in Polian's eye?

    Bill Polian doesn't have 'slightest doubt' benching EJ Manuel for Kyle Orton is right decision
    http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2014/10/bill_polian_ej_manuel_kyle_orton_bills.html
    Bill Polian was responsible for the best quarterback decision in Bills history, and he thinks Doug Marrone made the right move by benching Manuel.


    "Well, we'll see how well Kyle does," Polian said. "I've always had high regard for him. Whether he can carry the load through 12 games remains to be seen. A lot depends on the health of the running backs. The Bills are a work in progress. They're not a complete team just yet, but I think they're heading in the right direction."

    Look, I know the QB is not going to be a short term answer. The closest possibility - EJ - will not be nearly ready in Polian's outlined 4 year development, especially now he's not playing. Maybe Pegula can buy a QB this off season, but that's wishful thinking.

    Outside of QB position, I guess Polian may be referring the O-Line/WR which are indeed a work in progress. I don't know you can say the TE is a work in progress or complete. I might add the RB position has uncertainly as well. Neither Jackson nor Spiller is someone you can depended on firmly.

    And I'm afraid by the time we sort out all of those in two years, the defensive may have passed its peak as they are now.

    You can't depend on Jackson?

    RB is the least of the teams problems.

      I'm talking about next year. Jackson is already the oldest RB in the league. Spiller is a FA. Neither of which is full time player.

        Can always find rb's. That is the least of the problems.

          Dixon has looked good in the FJ role and Brown can play spiller and run sideways for 3 yards.

          I think they have a plan if either player is gone next season.

            Good thing he didn't post that here or he'd be a troll and an idiot and hate the Bills and want to see them lose.

              LOL at Brown.

              Dixon has a long long long way to go to become anything close to what FJ has been.

                I disagree. With Jackson out of the picture who's going to be the 3rd down RB? No one here seems to own up to that.

                Spiller, Brown, and Dixon all have horrible 3rd down histories. And if Spiller leaves we don't even have that once every other game big play threat.

                IMO we're thin at RB once Jackson is out of the picture. Has Brown even played this season?

                    What has either done?

                    That's like saying that if we had Vick Ballard from Indy or Robert Turbin from Seattle we'd be all set.

                    On what do you base this?

                      Maybe TJ Yeldon will declare a year early, and we can snag him in the draft.

                        If they don't make the playoffs, is Bill Polian on the top of the Pegula's list to be the next GM?

                            and we'll probably draft one in the mid to late rounds for safe measure too. Maybe with 5th we get for Stevie or maybe we flip that pick to acquire two picks. As I could see taking a chance on a guy like Keith Marshall.
