Donald Duck Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Would rather have Mcnabb than young. He's in shape and may be primed for a revival. Has a delivery and wind driving ball flight very similar to kelly. McNabbs arm is not what it used to be, Young on the other hand can put some serious mustard on the ball and throws a nice spiral
Captain Hindsight Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Eh not surprised, he was never good at reading defenses, you know what this offense requires the QB to do quickly
thewildrabbit Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 The author's last 5 pieces are: Lightning Strike Takes Life of NASCAR Fan and Injures 9 Others Week 19 Fantasy Baseball Closer Report Week 19 Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report NFL Rumors: Buffalo Bills Close to Cutting Quarterback Vince Young Fantasy Golf Report for the PGA Championship Just doesn't seem like someone who has the connections to break a story like this. Yea, i was thinking this is baloney. I would think the Bills would keep VY over Brad Smith unless of course the Bills want Smith as a WR. Why would it be unheard of to keep 3 QB's on the roster. VY would be a prefect choice to run the WC, and if they keep him it would give him more time to pick up the offense. I don't see him being cut unless the Bills are thinking of picking up Colt McCoy once he is cut
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Yawn... Is it football time yet?
John Cocktosten Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Even if they waive VY I like the fact that the Bills were willing to take a chance. However, Buddy's had 3 drafts and drafted no legit QB prospects. Now were stuck with Thigpen.
Best Player Available Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 You think the Eagles will give us a 1st round pick for him? No but the Raiders might give us 2!

Of you still want BS on the roster then list him as a WR
sllib olaffub Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Brings a few thoughts to mind: For one, I find it very hard to undestand how Buddy Nix has let the most important position on the football field - by far - to go so totally without competition, for now 2 years! More, if you consider prior to last year no one would have considered Fitz competition for anything but a 2 spot - and some still don't. It seems strange to me that Nix and Gailey would go into a season as important as this one with no #2 QB who could win a few games for them. It's a real head scratcher. Also, I've heard Nix speak highly of Vince Young. He has said it will take him a while to learn the system, but he's always referring to how hard it is to prepare for a Qb with as much talent as Young has. From all the reports I've read, Thigpen, having at least 2 more years of system knowledge than Young, has looked as bad as Young. That, to me, would be more of a warning sign than Young struggling. I think it'll come down to performance in the preseason. I can't imagine them cutting Young without bringing in someone else - and, it's getting late for that kind of thing - because, Thigpen, it was proven last year when they wouldn't even put him in for an injured Fitz without even having anything to play for, just cannot win us games.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 McNabbs arm is not what it used to be, Young on the other hand can put some serious mustard on the ball and throws a nice spiral Agree McNabbs picture is on the dictionary under washed up.......worst idea ever to bring him in.....Throws ball like Kelly ? I hope your talking about Kelly Holcomb not Jimbo.

I don't see him being cut unless the Bills are thinking of picking up Colt McCoy once he is cut Totally disagree, VY has never been an inside runner, he is good at scrambling, the wildcat requires a guy to be able to be a straight line runner and get tough yards, Id rather have BS do that than VY. I think Chan does too, since he has repeatedly said Brad is the 3rd QB
billsfan89 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Its basically blind speculation. If they cut Young its not going to be till the final cuts, they are going to give Thigpen and Young the full camp to see exactly what they have. Preseason hasn't started yet, lets see what VY has in meaningful game action before we call him a bust.
superbills315 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 VY is like tebow in the fact he just wins games he may not be good in practice but in the game he finds a way to win.... i think he was 3 and 1 last year for the eagles, he did not put up good numbers but he did get the W and thats what counts
Captain Hindsight Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Paintmyhouse will be devastated. Is he banned yet?
truth on hold Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Unforunately this may be true. The little snippets coming out on him all along have been negative. Sucks we had a chance to steal a badly needed 1st round talent at qb and now looks like we'll be stuck with another year of a career backup backing up a career backup. Edited August 9, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack
BuffaloFan68 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I'm pulling for Vince to look good in preseason so that we can get rid of Thigpen. TT is a nice guy but not the QB for us now.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 VY is like tebow in the fact he just wins games he may not be good in practice but in the game he finds a way to win.... i think he was 3 and 1 last year for the eagles, he did not put up good numbers but he did get the W and thats what counts Yes just like Tebow. Finds a way to win unconventionally with gimmick play until enough games for are on tape to figure them out. Then the party is over. For historical reference see Doug Flutie.
The Senator Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Pure nonsense from another moronic, adolescent, wannabe sports columnist with no abolutely knowledge or contacts, but - thanks to the internet - a gullible, believing audience that is so thirsty for Bills news that any fiction quickly made-up to fill column space and meet a deadline will do nicely. There ought to be strict rules on TSW about posting crap like that. Seriously. There went 5 minutes of my life that I can't have back. Vince Young WILL be the Bills backup QB this season. No "ifs or buts" about it. But for those still thirsting for the latest Bills news and thinking they'll get it from that sophomoric dolt, here's more breaking news by Adam McGill... "The Bills must win more than 8 games this season if they hope to have a winning record."
ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 BOOOOO! That article smells like BS... NEXT!
