JPS Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Look at this team. Why not. Bring in Tebow. Draft Pryor. The Bills are a steaming pile of irrelevance. But they are ours...so let's go Bills!
Glory Bound Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I suggest everyone who has replied to this thread search 'trolling' on google. Kiss off Jeremy! You're no better than anybody else! We looked terrible against one of the two teams that drafted ahead of us, & on top of that, they have a new coach. We're all just a little discouraged right now!
BobChalmers Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Why would the Broncos not trade Orton and then trade for Fitz? They have Tebow, whose potential is greater than Fitz. They have Orton, who is the same age as Fitz, has a very similar contract status AND has had three good years in the league plus a very good one last year. This is all crazy sauce! They prefer Orton AND Quinn to Tebow. This is a new staff from the one that drafted Tebow - Fox doesn't like Tebow at all.
spartacus Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Fitz didn't have a chance in the pocket last night. Guys were running free, Bell was a turnstile once again, Pears was terrible and Wood was getting destroyed by a guy who was cut 2 weeks ago. Stop it! OL problems will disappeaar magically until the team drafts or signs real NFL OL players. Chan knows this will not happen in Ralph's lifetime, so he needs to get running QBs to mitigate the problem. The Bills will bring in either Tebow or Pryor. The clown show continues - just change the names
1B4IDie Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) This is an example of the garbage that is in full bloom on this board: Alot of if's here, and I am sure the flamers are coming.... I see some interesting things that might just match up. 1. It was obvious Ralph wanted to draft Tebow. As evidenced by his strange outburst after Denver drafted him... "They panicked" 2. Tebow is a Gailey type of QB. 3. Our playbook is limited by Fitzpatrick not being a dual threat. While Fitzy does have some wheels -- he is not a very gifted runner. 4. Three QB's with relatively the same skill set will allow Gailey to develop his offense fully. 5. Tebow is gone in Denver. You don't pay a third string QB 9.5 million. 6. Thigpen is making really good money to be a 2nd string QB. My bet is that he will be the starter this season. 7. Our offense is hamstrung at the moment without a deep threat to open up the intermediate and short passing game. Bring in a QB that can run the ball consistently and the deep ball will open up for our slower receivers. Call me paranoid... I believe Tebow will be a Bill soon. I don't know if this would be a good thing or a bad thing. I really like Fitz quite a bit. This argument is predicated by the assumption that Ryan Fitzpatrick is not "a dual threat" QB and Tim Tebow is a proven dual threat QB. However in the real world NFL where they both play Ryan Fitzpatrick had 269 yards rushing, the 5th most by a QB. In message board fantasy land Tim Tebow is a great NFL dual threat. What was Fitz average yards per carry last year? This is a douchey, snarky, remark meant to remind real fans that, oh yeah. Ryan Fitzpatrick actually had 6.7 ypc second most to MICHAEL VICK for QBs that have over 200 yards rushing, Vick has 6.8 ypc. Tebow behind this OL is an injury waiting to happen. Millions of $$$ for nothing This is a clueless penny pincher that thinks, Oh the snarky douche must think that Ryan Fitzoatricks YPC is low because Ryan Fitzpatrick has a red beard and was drafted in the 7th round. Even though the comment is meant to remind people that are supposed to know about Buffalo Bills that Fitzpatrick actually is a real life NFL, dual threat QB. If you think teams don't game plan for the threat of Fitzpatrick breaking off 12 yard chunks when they send big blitzes to our weak tackles; you're not smart.

thewildrabbit Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I read somewhere recently that Ryan was second only to Vick in average per running play by a QB. On top of that he was only slightly behind him. Last year Fitz had a 6.7 yard per average rush, and threw for 3000 yards while playing only 13 games as back up QB. In that loss to the Jets Fitz was the leading rusher because he was running for his life almost every play. 7 carries for 74 yards http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/8664/ryan-fitzpatrick If you look up Vick he was at 6.8 YPR This is entire thread is moronic... Thigpin looked decent against 3rd stringers, what happened last week?

BillsfaninMyrtleBeach Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Fitz won't be going anywhere. Now he might be headed as a backup to Thigpen IF Thigpen out stats him. Chan and Buddy could still change QB's and not lose face. Edited August 21, 2011 by Bills Fan in Steeler Count
Fan in San Diego Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I dont see Buffalo having any interest in Tebow. We have a Tebow like wildcat QB in Brad Smith but even better than Tebow. The announcers even said that until Tebow shows he can connect a pass deep the defenses are going to stack the box and he isn't going to do anything. The RB's wont do anything because Tebow can't throw the ball downfield. Thats what the two announcers were saying. So I'll take their advice and stay away from Tebow. And if you watched the final two minutes of the game, Brad Smith was throwing the ball downfield, a much better wildcat QB than Tebow.
Ronin Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 ugghh...make it stop....Is it really only the second week of preseason. I feel like it should be about week 12 by now... LOL
BillsfaninMyrtleBeach Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 ugghh...make it stop....Is it really only the second week of preseason. I feel like it should be about week 12 by now... Like Ozzy Osborne says "The nightmare continues!"
floridabillfan Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 The front office MAY find a way to get Tebow but it will never involve getting rid of Fitz. At least not this year
BiggieScooby Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 1. It was obvious Ralph wanted to draft Tebow. As evidenced by his strange outburst after Denver drafted him... "They panicked" if we trade fitz for tebow we will be the one's who panicked.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 dont like trading Fitz right now, this is a Dick Jauron move. Like firing your OCord two weeks before the season starts. I like Fitz, but he is NOT an NFL starting qb. He is servicable, but wont win a playoff game. I think the Bills next year go heavy Offense in draft. I also dont condone taking Pryor. To me he has too much baggage. And the Bills are not going to cut Fitz or Pigpen or Smith. And there is NO way he clears and goes to the P.S.
Delete This Account Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Alot of if's here, yes, i wholeheartedly agree with this part. jw
jwolf02 Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Am I the only one who thought Thigpen looked borderline average at best last night, and that wasn't even until the 4th quarter when the really scrubby dudes were in for Denver? I do agree with a couple things in this thread - Thigpen does have a pricey contract for a backup, Chan is not one to mince words and for that matter his depth chart... but no way Fitzy gets traded and no chance he sits before week 8. And absolutely no chance Brad Smith is ever our true starter.
CardinalScotts Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Our O line was the problem last night, not Fitz THANK GOD - YES.....most of us should just stop watching preseason games
playboy reese 2.0 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 No… trade ideas wouldn't be thrown around on our forum in week 12. The NFL trade deadline is usually after the week 6 games. I'd ask you to provide a link but I know you don't have one. I dont bs,espn reported it.Chris Berman said it also and he must have an inside man cause hes usually right about the Bills. Really? Got a link or something to prove that? No? I got a couple of links that say otherwise: Linky 1 and Linky 2 I dont have a link saying the Bills wanted ben roethlisberger over Lossman either.But common sense sometimes dictates.
K-9 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I dont bs,espn reported it.Chris Berman said it also and he must have an inside man cause hes usually right about the Bills. Ralph Wilson pressured Polian to draft Flutie, too. So what's your point? GO BILLS!!!
