Bills GM: 'Time is now' to trade up for a QB
 

Romeo/Pioli, if you get cute and win another meaningless game, I will cut you.

dude we could get fitz from them

or we could get thig back

Chiefs fans jump into frozen rivers hearing this news....

This is not how you win, you draft some junk ILB or a RG...

perfect...chiefs fans want to trade down for the 5th best QB...'value,' ya know...

As long as we get the 1st pick the Bills can take whoever they want.

Only fitting that Haley fires Galey, Pioli fires Haley, Haley ends up in Pittsburgh with Ben Roethlisberger and Galey ends up in Buffalo with Geno Smith...

We're gonna trade it to the Bills.

What the **** advantage does he gain by coming out in public and saying this? If anything this is a huge disadvantage.

I think earlier in the year I called Geno Smith to Buffalo on here. :)

Boy wouldn't that be a kick in the balls. **** the Bills and thier 4 SB failures.

Placate the fans?? I don't know.

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.

We beat the Raiders this weekend. I AM GOING TO START THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE MYSELF. I am going to start WWIII. I am going become the Anti-Christ myself. :fire: and :reaper: will follow.


:cuss:

Because he knows Scott Pioli is looking to trade down.

The deal is already done.

This.

I think what it does is gives his fan base hope. More than what we got.

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

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?

Tears of joy?

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

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?

you should try harder...to troll the thread

I am afraid that trading down is too tempting for this organization. Unless we get a GM that stands firm with the #1 pick and Geno be the man O'

It's not trolling if I'm right.

Yeah, he has. He said before he ever hired Pioli that he wanted this franchise to draft and develop it's own QB.

And are you suggesting that you're happy with lip service? Because that's all it is. ALL it is.

how can one be 'right' about a hypothetical that one's self proposed?

can i take credit for tautologies?

ok so its trolling then

They would have to have a trading partner in order to trade down...

Which makes this Bills GM's statement even more stupid...

no, he's never said "we're drafting a QB"

Yes it is a big deal. Its the same reason you don't go to a car dealership saying "Man I REALLY need a car".

Everytime this guy talks about trading up, the price to trade up goes higher.

No, he said he wants this team to draft and develop a QB. Which we've in turn NOT DONE.

You won't EVER hear Clark say "we're drafting a QB". That's the GMs job. The GM currently is Scott Pioli.

So I guess tk13 wasn't trolling after all...

Insanity. Who does that?????

there's only 1 #1 pick...there are lots of cars and dealership

the price for the pick (whichever pick it is) is going to be set by the # of teams bidding for it...saying you're bidding for it two months in advance, or two weeks, really makes no difference...

Then why say it?

Hey, if you're a drooling mongoloid that needs your terrible GM to say things like this to give you "hope," then good for you. I just don't care. Just do the deed and get it over with. You don't have to make a show of it to try and save your job. If you didn't suck at your job you wouldn't need to give the fans hope to begin with.

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

is what I said...no idea what you read, but that's what I said

don't give a shit about pioli, or I would have said "I would cry if Pioli came out and said...."

and yes, tk13 was trolling...which is fine, but it is what it is...

Y'mean like when Clark said, "We're currently attempting to bring Peyton Manning to Kansas City"

I didn't say anything about pioli...

sorry your trolling failed...and for someone who 'just don't care,' it's weird you're in the thread having a hissy fit

do you always 'just don't care' this way?

I wish he was our GM

After the ass kickings they gave us the past couple of years it would be funny if it was us

There is one team. Arizona makes two. McShay is a Moran

Why would you cry? Because it makes you feel better?

Would you feel even better if he told you they were drafting a QB and then they drafted another DT?

Because that's the situation the Bills are faced with.

I hope you're kidding

I was just making a factual statement. If you can't handle that, sorry. I wouldn't Pioli's job to be saved over some comment to the press like this. I stated my case. Seems to me everyone else is throwing the hissy fit and avoiding the subject.

ROFL Because look at how good the Bills are. Look at all their recent playoff seasons LMAO

Precisely.

If Manning came to KC, everybody would have been ecstatic to the point that they WOULDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THAT CLARK SAID THAT.

But Manning didn't come to KC, and Clark's statement looks like one big fat lie.

At least they recognize the problem

This place has just lost its collective mind.

People are more worried about being told we're gonna draft a QB, or being told the GM is going to get fired, instead of just waiting to watch it happen.

No words coming from the franchise at this point MEAN ANYTHING. So why want them to say anything? It's some kind of bizarre Linus-with-his-blankie syndrome.

Its hilarious how people need coaches/GMs/owners to make statements. I don't give a **** about what any of them say. I care about what they do.

you didn't make a factual statement

you presented a hypothetical scenario...one that no one actually gives a shit about

Who says the Chiefs don't? The only difference is they didn't tell you.

This.

Who said Clark doesn't?

Why do you need GMs and coaches to make statements like this?

We'll see. I will be (pleasantly) surprised if they draft a first round QB. I fully expect a trade for Alex Smith or Matt Flynn or draft a second tier QB

Holy shit! What is the story behind this? Did anyone in that truck survive?

people aren't worried about anything, so you can step off your high horse anytime...

i for one would love it if Clark came out and said 'we're drafting a QB with our first round pick'...it would mean something to me: relief (anyone waiting 30 years for a QB can be excused this anxiety)

...don't give a shit if it doesn't matter to you, or if you're a bad ass 'keeping it real' fan who knows 'how it is' in the world of NFL execs...

So it is ok now to believe anything that is said about the draft, from an NFL front office prior to the draft?

Gotcha, just checking.

Pioli already might get his job saved because Belcher shot himself in the face. And because Clark Hunt really really really loves money. Two things that have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Pioli is competent at his job. Which he isn't.

Sorry, just rambling at this point. For all I know we'll lose to the Raiders on Sunday and Pioli will get fired on Monday. That's what I predicted several months ago in the When Does Pioli Get Fired? pool.

If we clinch the first pick there is no reason not to just say we are drafting a QB. It's not like anyone can trade up in front of you

Yeah its a hypothetical, but it's more than a fair point. You're welcome to continue avoiding it. This is the same GM that put down $60 million on Ryan Fitzpatrick. But hey, now he's a hero because he said this. Don't fire him.

being we have had the likes of herm edwards & romeo trolling the sidelines as HC recently, I highly doubt he does...

It may be the GMs job, but the owner needs to step in and show some leadership.

No casualties: http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/awning.asp

Chiefs baby!!!!

Doing shit wrong since 1970.

Why would you feel relief when they HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING?

You'd think waiting for 30 years would wake you up.

I'm not on a high horse, nor am I a badass. I just don't get it. You seem to want hollow words that mean nothing.

The fact that Clark loves money is even more reasons to fire Pioli.
Posted via Mobile Device

Well yeah, sure.

But that's not what we're talking about, are we?

He'll show some leadership the day after the Denver game.

and in this draft you don't think Pioli will be tempted to trade the 1st for multiples?

I don't see how the driver could have.
