Nix: “Time’s now” to trade up for a QB

Re: Nix: “Time’s now” to trade up for a QB

After the listening to the interview I came away thinking theyre going QB WR with their first two selections. Sounds like they want Steve in the slot.

Nix went fishing.

Nix should fire himself.

Re: Nix: “Time’s now” to trade up for a QB

Build the lines, and the defense first, then get the QB when you can. I have zero issue with the approach.

If he had actually successfully built a defense or his handpicked coach had emphasized the running game like he should, I might agree with you.

Funny how everybody this season is now talking about Kaepernick and Wilson, and nobody is all over Cam Newton's nutsack anymore.

Have you been following Carolina? Cam had a rough start to the season but he has been on fire since Halloween. His running game and defense have utterly collapsed, but he's accounted for 15 TDs and 2 turnovers in 6 games.

Montana was a 3rd rd pick, Brady a 6th rd pick

Just sayin'

Re: Nix: “Time’s now” to trade up for a QB

He knows. And he's not hiding his cards, because everyone knows.

He knows he ****ed up the QB position with Fitz and may now overpick a QB while passing on a better player in Round 1. If Te'o is sitting there and we pass him up, I'll scream.

Re: Nix: “Time’s now” to trade up for a QB

Maybe he didn't want to draft a raw QB and throw him behind our crappy OLine. He finally has the OLine looking good, so it's time to get a QB.

To add to what a number of others said, I think a number of us were also interested to see if Fitz could take his play to the next level behind a really good O-line. Now we know.

Tyler Wilson is probably the guy.

He's acquired the talent that could accomplish both, his footsoldiers have failed miserably.

And nobody is yacking him up like they were last season.

He has? There are still numerous problem areas littered throughout the roster. They need a quarterback, a top two receiver, an entirely new starting linebacker corps and multiple defensive backs. Combine that with Nix's failed head coaching hire and it's plain to see that his tenure as GM has been an unmitigated disaster so far.

There isn't a roster in the league that doesn't have weaknesses, holes, or individual positions that could be upgraded. No team is complete.

They have added talent on both lines, TE, RB, and in the secondary.
They have failed to address QB and to a lesser extent WR, and those are based on results, not effort.
Every team in the league is always looking for CB's.
LBer is a work in progress.

Coaching, I agree, but considering the level of talent that was on this roster previously we're really only a couple of players and a new coaching staff away from being competitive. I'll take this group of players over the 2009 roster all day long.

Re: Nix: “Time’s now” to trade up for a QB

Nope. I'd gladly take a Flacco or a Ryan though.

The roster isn't even mediocre, let alone complete. The Bills are a whopping 5-8 this year against an extremely easy schedule despite all their alleged talent. Coaching has played into that, absolutely, but so has a lack of talent.

In three years Nix has brought in, by my count, 10 worthwhile players: CJ Spiller, Cordy Glenn, Kraig Urbik, Scott Chandler, David Nelson, Donald Jones, Mario Williams, Kyle Moore, Marcel Dareus and Stephon Gilmore (let me know if I left anyone out). A few of those players are mediocre, so I was pretty lenient in even mentioning them. In any event, 10 players since 2010 isn't even close to enough, especially when Nix has entrusted the two most important jobs on the team to Chan Gailey and Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's an F-grade GM.

You're leaving out a few that are first or second year players that still could become solid. Pretty tough to judge guys when their NFL balls haven't even dropped yet.
