muddy waters Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Clemens is one free agent qb I think the Bills should go after if they can't get Bradford or Claussen in Round 1. I was really impressed with Clemens as a starter with the Jets and I was surprised when they drafted Sanchez. Looked to me like Clemens was gonna be a solid starter for years. He comes from a cold weather college team in Oregon and he seems be a tough competitor with good arm strength. He would probably love to come to Buffalo and face the Jets twice a year. He's a free agent so we would not have to give up anybody for him. I really think this could be a better option than giving up some prime picks for McNabb whose career is clearly on the downside. We can not afford to give up draft picks.

Albany,n.y. Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 What impressed you? Before the Jets drafted Sanchez I thought Clemens had a good shot of playing his way out of the NFL if he had ended up the Jets starter. The guy is worse than JP.

You're smoking crack if you think Clemens is worse than Losman. That's laughable.

Before the Jets drafted Sanchez I thought Clemens had a good shot of playing his way out of the NFL if he had ended up the Jets starter. The guy is worse than JP. I remember him from his college years, and there was just something about the way he played with the Jets that impressed me. His competitiveness, strong arm and experience in colder weather are traits I like. He is not from Calif. and has traits that Trent lacks. Not saying he would be the next star qb, but I think he could be worth a look compared to other free agents. My first choice is to grab Bradford or Claussen in Round 1, but I'm not impressed with other draft prospects or free agents.

He has pretty much sucked the majority of the time that he has played.

Also sick of people talking about McNabb or TO or any old guy that will delay the process any more. Get a QB and stick with him already!

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 No thanks. Orton. Orton's restricted as well, doubt they're willing to give up 1st and 3rd round picks for a journeyman QB.
/dev/null Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Orton's restricted as well, doubt they're willing to give up 1st and 3rd round picks for a journeyman QB. No way the Bills would give up a 1st and a 3rd for somebody like Orton Now a first and a fourth on the other hand we'd be willing to give up for Rob Johnson
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 As a backup YesAs a starter No Even then, I'm not sure Clemens would be an upgrade or have as much upside as Brohm as a backup.

We can not afford to give up draft picks. After watching him live in Toronto, after Sanchez got knocked out.......absolutely not. The guy could not even successfully throw the ball past the line of scrimmage with any confidence at all. The Jets gave him the opportunity to throw on a crtitcal thrid down and he held onto the ball for about 6 seconds was sacked from behind, fumbled, and lost the ball. I don't think the Jets called another pass play the enitre game and there was roughly a full quarter left. If you're looking for 5, 6, and 7 win seasons than maybe you consider Clemens. If you're looking to field a competitve team with a shot at the playoffs year in and year out, steer way clear of Clemens. He also has small hands (JP losman like), resulting in an unusual number of fumbles, especially when hit from the blind side. His pocket presence in the 2nd half of the Bills game was utterly miserable.
Albany,n.y. Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 He's my number one choice... I've always liked him and I think he got screwed in NY (new decision makers and coaches).. Here we go again...bum QB can't cut it as a starter in the NFL & "The Coaches Screwed Him" Insert bum QB of choice here _________________. Clemens was so bad 2 years ago with the Jets & Mangini that he was already out of contention for the starter's job. 1st the Jets, who were afraid of Pennington's injury history were still going to start Pennington over him, then when Favre was traded for & Pennington cut, Clemens got a reprieve & was still #2, even though he wasn't even the 2nd best QB on the roster. I watched the Jets preseason games & Ratliff totally outplayed Clemens-that's probably why Mangini wanted Ratliff in the Sanchez trade. Then when Ryan came in the Jets did everything possible to make sure everyone knew Clemens was not their QB of the present or future. There's nothing Clemens has done as a Jet to make anyone who has seen him play think he can be a starter in this league-especially the guys who see him every day-the Jets coaching staff. Maybe it's time for "the coaches screwed him" bunch to figure out 1) The coaches see these guys a lot more than any of us. 2) The coaches know more about evaluating talent than any of us
KD in CA Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I remember seeing several of his starts in 2007 -- really the only year he's played in the NFL. He was not impressive at all. I think the Jets were doing everything they could to transition the job from Pennington to Clemens, but he just didn't step up. That's why they went out and got Favre in '08.

The fact that Clemens would even be suggested as a viable option makes me question what other people could possibly see in the guy. We've had crap QB's the last 13 years....let's not keep going down the same path, at least make it look like you're trying to get it right.
Lori Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Kellen Clemens? Really? Browning Nagle for the 21st century.
