Jay Gruden-OC Cinncy.
Obvisouly John's brother, but has had success where ever he has been. If he is any where as nuts as his brother you got to imagine he would have some sort of success. He has done wonders with Andy Dalton, and I know they have struggled some but just think he would be an under the radar type guy that could pay huge dividends.
As for the Rookie QB, this class scares the crap out of me. Would anyone else be statisfied with trying to find a stop gap in the mean time for a year or two(Jason Campbell, Mike Vick, Matt Flynn), or even trying to trade for a Matt Schaub type prospect that has been on the bench behind a proven starter . I am not against going after a Geno Smith or Tyler Wilson, but I just feel a little hesitant about them and would much rather continue to improve this defense that we all thought would be top 15 when the year started. |
I think that is what Tavaris Jackson is. I discovered while talking to a cowboys fan about the Bills trading for Tony Romo (just hypothetically) and as I was looking at Fitzy's contract, their is no way we could bring in any kind of decent QB.
If we cut Fitz before next year, we take a $14 mil cap hit ($17 mil in bonus money left, but $3 mil is a roster bonus). He also counts 10.5 mil against the cap next year if we keep him, no way the Bills try to bring in somone good enough (like a Vick, like a Flynn) that would get similar money. I unfortunately think we either have to bring in a young arm, keep going with fitzpatrick, or get another mediocre QB.

Guess we have to go the rookie route then. I am very frustrated with the way the whole T. Jackson situation I feel like it was such a waste of a trade and not saying that we would find anything better in the draft but him sitting on the sidelines in street clothes is just such a waste. I doubt we see him for the next couple weeks with the way Fitz played yesterday, but man I think we need to give him a crack at some point down the stretch to see what he has.
With the College Route my rankings would look like this.
Geno Smith
Tyler Wilson
Matt Barkley
Tyler Bray(He would need to sit a year could be a great fit with Fitz getting another year)
Aaron Murray
Later Round Guys I like
Sean Renfree
Ryan Nassib
Zack Dysert
Mike Glennon
A guy that isnt mentioned to much because he most likely wont come out, but what about Taj Boyd from Clemson. He has been a stud since he took over as a Freshman. I know the competition level isnt there in the ACC besides FSU and Va. Tech, but I think he could be a guy that would have success sort of a RG3 type player.

No doubt, dude. Andy Reid would be awesome!
As far as the college route QB goes, you can forget
Tampa boy, Aaron Murray choosing to play in that weather.
I'm not ready to quit on the Bills HC yet. Maybe some
defensive maturation and some healthy QB competion
to wake up Fitz.

I wonder what people think the chances are (not necessarily if you like it) that we trade for say, QB Blaine Gabbert. I only bring this up because their were strong indications that if Marcell Dareus was not there at #3, that we were going to take Gabbert.
The financials would work, Jags would only take a 3.6 mil hit trading him and we would only be on the hook for 2 years $3.5 mil (all in base seeing how the jags would have to eat the bonus money). I think maybe for a high 4th round pick, you know, tebow asking price, I can't really say I would be against it.

it would depend on if we think Gabbert will ever stop being terrible.

Didn't stop us from drafting and holding on to JP Losman 
and Trent Edwards

| I'd rather not take a look at Gabbert but there is a legit chance that we could miss out on Wilson, Geno and Barkley.. Mike Glennon couldrise up draft boards. |

Watch Ryan Nassib as well. He is coming on strong.

Resign
Andy Levitre
Jarius Byrd
Sign
WR Kevin Ogletree
OLB Daryl Smith
Draft
Round 1: Manti Te'o- Just what this defense needs.
Round 2: EJ Manuel- Groom a QB. We get a choice between Manuel, Nassib, Glennon, Bray, and Jones in the 2nd and we choose this man.

| That's looking good except QB preference (Glennon) Our LB core is looking better, although Kelvin Sheppard is playing better. But keeping Byrd and Levitre are key. |

if i'm being honest this QB class is really poor. I like Geno, but he scares me a little, just something about that offense makes me think his skills may not transition so smoothly to the NFL. I don't really care for Barkley because he has nothing that really jumps out at me when i see him play. he is just kinda average all around. I do like Tyler Wilson a lot but i'm not sure he is worth at top half first round pick. Manuel has skills but will be a project and will need to sit for a few years. the same applies for Glennon and Nassib, they have some skills but will be projects. I don't really like the idea of drafting a QB in the first unless we are picking around 20 and we take Tyler Wilson, but i feel we need a defensive player first. I'm looking at CJ Mosley, Johnathan Banks, Sam Montgomery. Those guys will be BPA and could help the D.

Another CB could work.. A Gilmore/Milliner or Banks combo would be hard to pass up. Te'o, Mosley , or Porter defensive pick work. My big board goes
Jarvis Jones
Geno Smith
Tyler Wilson
Dee Milliner
Manti Te'o
Matt Barkley
Jonathon Banks
CJ Mosley
So far |

Sadly, Jones has spinal stenosis...same thing that caused Lee Suggs to quit football. There's no cure. Jones is a great player, but I wouldn't risk a 1st round pick on someone who very well may not have a long career.
(EDIT) - I'd love to see Te'o in a Bills uniform!

Yea, our franchise isn't in position to gamble on Jones.. Wasn't aware of this. |
