Not much of a poker face, I see.

Fools gold.

The ONLY thing it accomplishes is fomenting the want for a QB amongst the fans.

And in April, when a trade doesn't materialize and the Bill take an offensive tackle, the fans will be PISSED.

He should keep his mouth shut.

You can never enough Dexter McClusters to fill out your roster.

what it does is it shows he wont be afraid to trade up with a team to get a guy like Geno Smith

essentially Chiefs fans should now be afraid of a team like Buffalo. Yes they showed their hand, but that's a lot more than Pioli and Clark do for the Chiefs. You dont see them coming out and saying they want a QB, which would be nice to know so I dont have to be let down when Pioli drafts another DT in the first round next spring

Lets look at it this way. Now every GM knows when the phone rings from the Bills that they're looking to trade up.

Is that really a big deal knowing it ahead of time vs them calling the day of the draft and let that GM know they're looking to trade up?

The end situation is the same. The GM for the top spot is going to try to get as much as he can.

Negotiating from a position where the other side knows you'll bend over backwards is never a good thing. This sounds more like "Don't fire me, I really mean it this time." Look at people in this thread liking this, and we don't even root for the Bills.

i would cry if Clark came out and said we're drafting a QB

Geno would be a perfect fit with Cailey.

And what happens when they can't trade up?

Are you seriously suggesting that Clark coming out and saying they're going to draft a QB would make you feel better?

Because Clark said BEFORE HE HIRED PIOLI that he wanted to draft a QB and we got Matt ****ing Cassel.

Saying anything now is foolish and silly.

I know.

NOTHING good can come from him saying this.

At best, they trade up and get a QB, which would have satisfied everyone had he said this or not.

At worst, nobody wants to trade with them and he ends up looking like an idiot.

He's said it before. And we haven't done it.

So why would him coming out and saying it mean anything at all?

As soon as we know for sure we get the number one pick of the draft, I want to know that we are taking a QB and that QB be Geno Smith. If we get the second or third pick of the draft then they need to play cool about it and not lead so much one way or another.

If we get the #1 pick, we'll know a few weeks (if not more) before the draft who we're taking.

no, he hasn't

and i just told you that it would mean something

tk13 12-14-2012 10:13 AM

Let's put it this way. Pioli comes out today and says we're drafting a QB next year, even if we have to trade up... no matter what it takes. I'm sure everyone in this thread would want Clark to retain Pioli then, right?
