That's a fair take and I don't necessarily disagree with your strategy but you can't just pluck a franchise guy out of thin air.  You have to be in position to get one.  The Bills will not lose enough games this year to be in that top 3 picks range where the "guaranteed" franchise guys usually are.  I mean hell, the Jags took Blake Bortles with the 3rd pick this year.  So any given year even if you do have an early pick you're going to be looking at a QB that is going to take time to develop.  Guys like Peyton and Luck are only sitting there once every decade.  Anything beyond prospects like that, well then it's the luck of the draw.  If the Bills need to replace EJ it's going to be with a guy that you have to be patient with again anyways so the franchise is back in 3 year plan mode yet again while they wait on the next guy to develop.  That's why I don't see what the Bills did as a foolish gamble like some folks do.  Ballsy?  Sure.  But even if EJ doesn't pan out its not crippling.
 
They believe they've got an Ace in Sammy, and if EJ ends up eventually hitting as a King then they've got a Black Jack.
 
I'd pray that he does but as a Bills fan I've already used up all my prayers.
