Dragonborn10 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Who should the Bills sign? I would like to see Marc Bulger but I'm not sure he would sign to be a back-up. He has been rumored to go to the Cardinals but if they trade for Kolb that won't happen. I say no to Vince Young. I think this board likes Tyler Thigpen as an option. Grossman? Troy Smith?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 David Carr, was a great QB until he was destroyed by Houston's O-line.
eball Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 David Carr, was a great <college> QB until he was <overrated and then> destroyed by Houston's O-line. fixed
Virgil Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 It'll be Thigpen. Fitz is durable, Chan has a history with him, and he's cheap. They aren't going to bring in anyone who is now, or was ever, considered to be a name.
nucci Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 David Carr, was a great QB until he was destroyed by Houston's O-line. When was he a great QB?
Pirate Angel Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Jake Delhomme...just heard today via NFL network that if he where to return to Cleveland he would have to be signed to the veterans minimum. He would provide a veteran backup that has had some success in the league but shouldnt create a QB controversy.
mrags Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I'd want Young first just for what he CAN bring as far as production. I think Chan could help fix him. But I don't think it will happen. I see Thigpen as our backup.
PDaDdy Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Leinart OH GOD NO!!!! Thigpen makes a lot of sense given his history with Gailey. I would say that there is the potential however incredibly remote that we consider Vince Young. The guy needs to learn how to play QB and still has maturing to do but the Bills bench could be the place for that. Given the rebirth of Vick some team, maybe us, will consider looking at him as a reclamation project.
stony Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I heard JP Losman is practicing with the Bills. I'm honestly cool with him trying out.
Rob's House Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 When was he a great QB? I don't know about great, but he was definitely a highly talented up and coming QB. This is the stat line for his third season: 61.2% completions, 3531 yds, 16 TD 14 Int, 83.5 QB rating. The following season he was sacked 68 times.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Why is everyone so in love with Tyler Thigpen? Even in his best season (2008), when he supposedly "flourished" in Chan Gailey's offense, he put up rather pedestrian numbers. 14 games played, Comp % 54.8, 2,608 yds, 18 TD, 12 INT, 76 QB Rating

Rockinon Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I'm honestly cool with him trying out. He did have some chemistry with Lee Evens.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 The fact that if he's coming in on a few weeks notice he knows chans terminology and systems is the positive I get that, but certainly there are guys (with better potential) who would be quiet capable of learning Chan's terminology/scheme during training camp and in the first part of the season, and be ready to run the offense in the event of a Fitz injury. Just my opinion, but I have never been impressed with Thigpen. A few guys who I wouldn't mind being brought in to back up Fitz... Seneca Wallace Caleb Hanie (this kid demonstrated a lot of guts and skill in that NFC Championship game...13/20 153 yards in 16 minutes) Marc Bulger Billy Volek
cowtippur Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Jake Delhomme...just heard today via NFL network that if he where to return to Cleveland he would have to be signed to the veterans minimum. He would provide a veteran backup that has had some success in the league but shouldnt create a QB controversy. Anybody creates a controversy. Even Brohm created controversy. If Fitz struggles, expect Levi Brown to start being a hot topic--"Let's put him in and see what he can do" type stuff.
stony Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 He did have some chemistry with Lee Evens. True. I'm thinking the fact he was working out here with Lee would be a good indication that they are pretty tight still. I guess the only reason why I'm thinking he would be an option is because with Fitz as the bona fide starter, we can't bring in a vet that is hungry to start. The last thing we need is a QB controversy. Losman is a backup, plain and simple. Perhaps Chan could make him into a decent one.
