To whomever runs the Bills next...Address QUARTERBACK first and foremost.

[ca-deek]

The OP is correct! Get yourself a GOOD starting QB any way that you can. Either thru the Draft or Free Agency or your are DOOMED to failure.

So...........name your guy? Impossible without knowing what happens ahead of Draft Day, or ahead of the Bills Draft Pick. I would be more than happy getting Alex Smith in a trade, and if so, you the draft need is much less pressing....but...if the 49ers do not want to make that trade, then see who is sitting there when the Bills pick in the early 1st Round and take the best kid still on the sofa. ANY of these kids will be better then Fitz and his epic late-game failures.

Now....when you get the QB, coach him up and PUT HIM ON THE FIELD, not on the sideline holding a clip-board.

Games still need to be played so Im not set on one or two yet all I know is OBD has to take a shot at one and since its such a huge need with the state the fans are in with the Fitz its a no brainer IMO that they have to take one of the top rated 3. To wait for a QB to fall to them will create the same fail Nix has done every year in finding one, take one of the top 3 and hope.

As of right now I dont see any reason to move up to the top to get the best from this class since each offers alot to a team but IMO there is no Luck or RG3 in this draft BUT IMO there is QBs worth taking with our first pick wherever that will be. Sure the one they pick may not work out but thats part of the NFL in a QB driven league. To be good in the NFL you have to keep taking shots at finding one, look how many Shanny had before all in on RG3.

The QB depth is the worst ever here now IMO it offers nothing, we need 3 new QBs for 2013. Competition will create the hunger this team needs in its leader position. The team has to billieve in him just like the fans. A more talented QB here with a killer instinct will do a lot for this team and will offer a future of hope but to avoid drafting one in the first because a Luck or RG3 isnt there will set this team back even more years.

Im not saying moving up Im just saying do what Miami did and just draft one where your pick is and live with it. Draft 1 if not 2 QBs this season and then draft anouther next season until there is more talent installed. The Fitz seasons have been nothing but a huge waste of time. OBD has to create hope and IMO if they blow off the QB position again in the early 2 rounds it will be that much harder for the fans to billieve or have any hope.

It really depends where we pick I think...If we are high enough and you have a guy like M Te'o on the board we have a tough desicion to make...remember our defense SUCKS! I could see us go D in the first and QB in the second or a trade up back to the bottom of the 1st for a QB. I also see us taking 2 QBs in the draft, one early and a long shot guy later. Remember, Miami has a solid defense, so it make it easier to roll with a rookie QB. We don't have the luxury of one side being top 10...our O and D are bad.

Sorry but that is not what the original poster suggested - He did not say go get your franchise QB anyway you can. He stated that the Bills had not spent a high first round pick on a QB since Kelly left. He is stating that no matter what the Bills need to Draft a QB at the top of the draft and that is not correct. The Bills could be picking as high as 4th with at least 2 teams before them needing a QB. Should we just automatically take the 3rd rated QB just to satisfy the desire to draft a QB 1st. I don't think so - that is how you end up with Blaine Gabbert or Tannehill.

If he had suggested you get a franchise QB anyway you can that would not be wrong, but to suggest the Bills have not tried to get a QB since Kelly left (trading for 2 and drafting 1 in the first round) is wrong. The Bills have tried - they have just failed and that is very different.

Heck they even picked up a very high 1st round pick this offseason in Young - trying to find a QB. The fact is they have failed and it is time to see if someone else can find that elusive QB.
