Smart teams don't replace pro bowl QB's after their first starting season

[Skooby]

The Bills aren't drafting a QB in the first 3 rounds, if at all. Just shelve all those dreams of the moronic, then refer back to this post after the draft is complete. Any talk of anything like this is just silly chat, get over anytime contrary.

When has it ever been shown that the Bills were a smart team?

No QB they'll be in a position to draft will be drafted to be a starter this year.

I think it would be foolish to not hedge against the possibility that Tyrod does not improve or is stolen away in free agency. The idea that we would be complacent in having EJ Manuel as our back-up when he has proven that he cannot be relied upon to not lose games is plain stupid. And correct me if I'm wrong, there aren't very many veteran QB's out there that we can afford who CAN win games.

Calling Tyrod a Pro Bowl QB is pretty ridiculous.

The Bills are not a smart team.

Also...let me just throw out a few names of QB's off the top of my head who made the Pro Bowl after their first full season starting.

Matt Cassel
Derek Anderson
Teddy Bridgewater
Nick Foles
Robert Griffin
Vince Young
Marc Bulger
Kordell Stewart

So yeah...the point you are trying to make sucks.

None of them set team records with completion % during their pro bowl season as well, so nice try.

The Bills can franchise or transition (my preference) tag him to prevent him from hitting the market.

How many 1st year QBs made the Pro Bowl while setting completion percentage records for their team? As soon as someone finds one, if they don't fit your narrative you'll just say something like "Well he didn't rush for as many yards as Tyrod did so nice try."

You keep getting more specific/ridiculous with these claims. Someone found players that fit your description, but you didn't like them so you come up with another stat that you think matters. Clearly you're not trying to have a legitimate discussion.

Keep holding onto that 'Pro Bowl' accomplishment for Tyrod like it means something.

Were any of them the 8th alternate?

Re: Smart teams don't replace pro bowl QB's after their first starting season

Yes, because 'smart' teams wait until their starter gets hurt, underperforms, or walks before thinking about a back-up plan.

He was a replacement player in the Pro Bowl. Half the league are pro bowl players, using this logic.

I like the guy but if they have doubts about giving him 18 Mil a year, then let him play this year and see what they have or trade him on draft day for top picks.

At $18-20M for the franchise year? Not a good plan, in my humble opinion. I think a back-up plan makes sense, in both senses of the term.
