Adios Andrew Luck

by Steve

They did it again. No, I'm not talking about the Buffalo Bills winning another game. They've now won 4 of their last 6, Stevie Johnson is a stud yadda yadda yadda .I'm referring to the Bills effing up and losing ground on the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. Go look at the box scores folks. Carolina won, Cinci won, Detroit won and the Buffalo Bills defeated hated "rival" the Miami Dolphins. Yippie we'll pick 7th!

True, before the game I wanted the Bills to win. The Dolphins are still much hated and winning a division game was better than going 0-6 against the three teams we hate the most. Butttt that was before I could have imagined three teams ahead of us in the draft poll position winning and allowing us to slip further down (or up?) the poll.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is still just a nice player. He isn't uber talented, he has a talent ceiling. Every time he throws a pass it seems like his arm might fall off because he is over throwing. Does he have to ice down his shoulder after each game like Pedro in 2005? But at this point I am resigned to the fact that he will be the Bills' starter in 2011.

Build the defense, build the defense mix in a tight end and a tackle and build the defense. The fall after Andrew Luck in QB talent in the draft seems prohibitive in taking a Locker or Mallet in the top 5. So build the defense and ugh build the team around Ryan Fitzpatrick. See you at the Ralph for the season finale agains the Pats Sunday (i'm going to go throw up now)

  1. Fitzpatrick isn't the long term answer. Newton, Locker, Mallet would all be ranked ahead of any QB next year unless Barkley comes out. Fitz puts up nice stat lines but don't most good QB's win more often than they lose? Take a QB with the 1st rd pick. Hope Hightower falls to the Bills in the 2nd rd. It's a really weak TE class especially if Rudolph doesn't declare. Maybe try to get a D.J. Williams in the 3rd rd.

  3. Then take Mallet or Newton. Unless you want to take a CB with the Bills top pick.
