All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Looks like the Bills will make a QB play early in draft

Who took QB Paxton Lynch to dinner last night? That would be the Buffalo Bills, ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio reports. OC Greg Roman in Memphis.
There seems to be a philosophy change in that regard. Just from interviews, I heard Whaley stating drafting QA every year is one way of doing it. Think about, Tyrod is arguably one of the most promising QB the Bills had for years, and the organization is NOT simply hitching its wagon onto him. Instead they have interviewed QB prospects left and right.

I don't know if I could go so far as to say that this year is different than any other... Sending your OC to watch QB prospects is not atypical in any year whether you need a QB or not. The dinner is likely because they see Lynch as a prospect that could potentially be there at 19 that they may have interest in. I'm not sure that's different than any other player at any other position in play at 19.
I think Lynch is on our radar and I'm pretty sure we will draft a QB at some point. But none of this makes Lynch anything other than a guy in the mix at 19... There are many others at other positions that are more likely.

I'm not big on Lynch as a prospect yet most regard him as 3rd best QB prospect in the draft. I have no problem entertaining the idea of drafting him if he's there as I am not sold on Tyrod long term. As had a feeeling we would take a QB in first three rounds yet I'd prefer Conner Cook in Round 2. That said entertaining Lynch might lead team like Denver to trading up and grab him from us.

Well the upside is that if I can get him to wear #23 I can re-use some old jerseys.
Re: Looks like the Bills will make a QB play early in draft
taking an Offensive player in round 1 will be a head scratcher. the team's d is weaker than it ended the year. the d needs a lb to qb the defense. we technically have a qb that did well statistically. he has to stay healthy and he has to get better in closer games and reducing 3 and outs. not out of the question.
I just don't see a no brainer qb in this draft. if you don't, then don't take one in round 1. a guy you don't trust starting for your team can be found later.

Brilliant. We have a pro bowl QB (9th choice but still), so why do we need a QB early ?
Re: Looks like the Bills will make a QB play early in draft
I just have the feeling that Pegula may have a bigger impact than we know. Unlike all of us fans, they just bought the team so they may not have that urgent feeling of doing all you can to squeeze into playoff. They are not blind; the kind of value added to a franchise with a franchise QB is easy to see.
Having said that, I don't believe they tell Whaley to draft Lynch in particular, but they may have pushed to put "getting that guy at QB" at a much higher priority as the overall franchise direction.

I love fans that post and don't know what they're talking about like you two. No one had a book on Taylor at the beginning of the season. He clearly worsened as the year came along. Now that teams have tape on him, they will shut him down next season. See Colin Kaepernik.
Re: Looks like the Bills will make a QB play early in draft
It's been how long since the Bills had a franchise QB? And people are *****ing about drafting one early? I like Taylor, but, if there is a QB there that is a good value, you draft him. It the most important position on the field.
Re: Looks like the Bills will make a QB play early in draft
If Lynch is so good and a franchise qb, why would he be available at #19? I don't see a team with a huge need at qb like the Rams passing on Lynch if the potential to be legit is there.
Re: Looks like the Bills will make a QB play early in draft
Who's to say the Jets don't take him in the first?
The good news for the Bills is, they’re picking a spot ahead of their division-rival Jets, who also have some interest in a quarterback for down the road, whether they end up signing Ryan Fitzpatrick or not.

Rams will take whichever of Wendt/Goff that is left on the board by the Browns.
