That doesn’t mean u pick any QB just to pick one
That would be dumb

And that was actually a Gretzky quote,
but u got it wrong
U can’t “miss” a shot u don’t take

- jdfitz77


im like 99.9% sure he was joking, don't take everything so literally lol.

Same with the quote, its just saying you can't succeed unless you try

Sure it is, even more of a reason to not give away future picks for a guy that might be

Literally no QB that a team has traded up for in the top 5 of the draft has won a Super Bowl for that team (while playing, I think Wentz would have gotten it done though so he would have been there 1st ever)

Junior wants to talk history, there is his history.

- Stripes77


The Rams & Eagles are both VERY happy they spent all those picks to trade up...

True or False?

And we are still looking for a QB
Now, I’m not saying we HAVE to trade up
But to blanketly say we shouldn’t is wrong

It can work either way
It can bust either way

bodine was a 4 year starter I think for cincy

newhouse is a nice depth guy


need a few moves like this on the d now if they want to sell the farm for a qb

I thought Newhouse was a starter as well. Groy vs Bodine will be a story hopefully they both excel.

Edit: SB Nation describes Newhouse as a starter.

newhouse started for raiders last year


then again we have no qb so why are they signing here?

A guy named Josh called in to say how he wanted the Bills to trade up

Gets to the point where Schopp is basically yelling & berating the guy
Finally, stops & the caller asks if he’s allowed to speak
The caller then proceeded to make a very strong argument with multiple points,
basically saying the Bills haven’t taken a “big swing” at a QB since Losman and he wants to see us do so

*I’m unbiased here
totally ok if we trade up, ok if we don’t
The caller just made a really good case though

Schopp then gets back on his high horse to say the caller “didn’t convince him”
Is the caller’s opinion somehow invalid bc he didn’t convince the almighty Schopp?

He then again starts yelling & tries to change the discussion to be about how the caller judges “success” by a QB

I just turned it off at that point,
Bc Schopp had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to retort on the really good argument the caller made

Just more of him being a loud, obnoxious know it all when a caller disagrees
Then proceeds to basically say the caller is dumb

If Schopp was the legend he thinks he is,
maybe he wouldn’t be stuck working mid-afternoons in the Buffalo market

If the Bills trade up and draft a QB that is the next Kelly and they don't win a Super Bowl are we happy?

In the entire history of the league no team has traded into the top 5 for a QB and that QB won them a Super Bowl.

Now there are plenty of factors involved there because it's a team game, but isn't that all the more reason to keep those picks and build a team around your franchise guy?

So until it happens, no team has been able to do it.

That is a fact.

In other words, keep drafting QBs, every year in all different rounds but this is the year that you could take 2 in the first 3 rounds...

Of course we are!!!
U think Indi wasn’t happy with Peyton Manning until he won a Super Bowl?
U think Denver wasn’t happy with Elway until he won?

U think Miami regrets having Marino?!!


Dude... that’s a terrible argument Stripes
There’s more to it than getting a franchise QB,
but it’s also the best way to give your team a chance to consistently win

The odds of us finding a Russell Wilson or Tom Brady are a lot smaller than the bust/success ratio of picking a QB high
So assuming we can find that “franchise guy” later is just hoping against even smaller odds


AGAIN...
the Rams & Eagles are both very happy they traded up

True or False?

Answer the question


Also...
the Rams & Eagles are both pretty good,
Aren’t they?
Pretty sure they have showed that u can trade a bunch of pieces for your QB and still find a way to build a good team around him
