At No. 3, the Bills don't seem desperate to select a quarterback. In audio posted by the Buffalo News, Bills General Manager Buddy Nix told a group of reporters at the combine, ''We're not in a position where we have to have a quarterback.''Bills coach Chan Gailey feels comfortable with Ryan Fitzpatrick, who started 13 games in 2010 and threw for 3,000 yards and 23 touchdowns and finished with an 81.8 rating.

I've said all along I am extremely confident in Ryan Fitzpatrick,'' Gailey said in Indianapolis. ''I think he played well enough to prove to a lot of people, me and our staff included we can win a bunch of football games with guys like that. I've been to the playoffs a couple times with guys that haven't performed as well as Ryan has.In discussing quarterbacks,NFL Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys, Gailey seemed more worried about picking a product of a spread offense like Gabbert than a one-year wonder like Heisman winner Newton.
