T master Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 There's a Q.B that from the first time i saw him in Tenn. i thought was (or should i say) could be a great Q.B. He is now in San Diego as there second stringer " Billy Volic " All the guy wants (i think) is a legit chance to be a starter in the NFL & to this point he has been a career back up. Just wondering if one of you Bills fans may know more about why he is a back up ?? Every time i've seen him play he does great , real strong arm , makes good decisions with the ball , what more could a team ask for ?? When he was in Tenn. he stepped in for McNair (or was it Vince ??) when he got hurt the year before he went to S.D. and kept a good season going. I know it's pretty far fetched but the thoughts of the Bills working a trade for a guy like that, that just wants a chance to prove him self & has good skills from what i can see would be a great move !! Just thinking out loud and wondering if i'm just delusional or what ?? Besides Buddy has some connections in S.D. So what do you think ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRRC, he said he was ok with a back-up role, so he got batted around in the press and by the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Lots of 34-year-old career backups get traded and lead a team to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, can you blame him? Making a few million each year holding a clipboard in sunny San Diego, California while preserving your body for life after football?? Sign me up.

ajzepp Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Billy Volek is a grade A P***Y who is content with doing as little as possible in the NFL while collecting a paycheck. Not exactly the type of player I want on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocwocka Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I guess everyone seems to forget that we TRIED to sign him after his time in Tennesee, he opted to go to San Diego and be a back-up instead of being back-down in Buffalo. F him - he is just collecting a check - he obviously has no interest in trying to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonestake Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think you're referring to Bob Golic. He had a good career but I'm not sure he would be a good QB. Last time I saw him he was on Saved by the Bell: The College Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The fact that anyone would throw out Billy Volek (he's so good, we can't even spell his name) at this point in time is further proof that we're in trouble this year. Let's just hope for healthy young guys playing alot, some excitement and about 11-13 one point losses. Since we're not going to compete for the Superbowl, I'm okay with sucking.....but suck ALL the way and don't embarrass the city with blowouts. I am truly okay with that...and I have season tix coming out of my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
