Beerball Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 john wawrow Move this post Posted Today, 10:14 AM deal done. story just moved. Jackson already en route to Buffalo. jw
zow2 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Yay, i guess he gets a lot of playing time against Detroit Thursday night. Good luck learning the offense in 3 days TJ.
nucci Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Yay, i guess he gets a lot of playing time against Detroit Thursday night. Good luck learning the offense in 3 days TJ. Right, because the final preseason game played by 3rd stringers has the full offense in the game plan.
mrags Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I really wonder who's going to be cut and when. There's so many things to look at. Brad Smith sucks, VY sucks, TT sucks. But could Chan be keeping either TJ or VY for the wildcat? And letting go of BS? Could he be cutting both TT and VY and keeping TJ and BS? Could he cut BS and VY and keep TJ for the wildcat and TT for backup QB? Could he be cutting everyone and only keeping TJ with no 3rd QB? Heck, even with the poor play of Fitz, one could make an argument that he's on the outs. I wouldn't take that too seriously....YET!!! But ibwill say if Futz struggles at the start like he did to finish last year, Chan could be on the hit seat, and that means a new QB needs to come in. Just a few thoughts. Thankfully we have JW to help get some of these answers for us today. I'm sure someone will be cut today.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Will be interesting to see what other moves are made at OBD this week. Assuming TJ will see alot of playing time just dont expect much given he hasn't seen much action at all in preseason and he will be just trying to figure out everyones names. Fully expect VY or Thigpen to be released ASAP.
The Poojer Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 7th, could be 6th if he is on the roster for 6 games(?)...i think thats what i read, plus he is willing to restructure his current deal 5th rounder?
Captain Hindsight Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Thigpen and Vince are gone. Brad Smith will be the third QB. Its a lock. Guy can play so many positions. If we are keeping an extra kicker, having a guy that can play 4 positions suddenly becomes much more valuable
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Looks like VY may be gone based on a twitter feed and a new thread created. Amazing how he looked decent in Minn and seemed to be getting it and than plummeted so fast. Heres hoping TJ isnt needed to fill in for Fitz.

I'm thinking that Brad Smith might get cut and we keep another receiver instead of him. I would like to see the keeping of VY instead of the other 2 since I think those two are the better athletes. Besides, if I remember, Chan used CJ as the WildCat back the past few times. And getting updated with Hindsight's post, when you throw in keeping an extra kicker, it seems to make sense keeping Brad Smith because he does save roster spots but maybe they just keep one less player somewhere else. Lots of mathematical possibilities.

If we are keeping an extra kicker, having a guy that can play 4 positions suddenly becomes much more valuable "Yeah, but you don't realise that Brad Smith SUCKS!" **In my best Chris Grifin voice**NAy idiot can just come in and run the Wildcat (well except for Smith of course cause he Sucks). Freddy can do it, Vince Young can do it, Thigpen can do it, Spiller can do it, A developmental QB drafted in the 7th or Undrafted can do it. I hear JP Losman and Trent Edwards can do it too! The Wildcat is only a gimmick and should never be used cause every defence can stop it and it never works! Its much wiser to take advantage of a rule and keep a 7th round "Levi Brown/Brian Brohm" on the roster to keep the backup QB hydrated and well rested not having to hold a clip board then keep Brad Smith and his albatross $4mil contract on the roster, since the Bills are so close to the cap and will now have to cut good players to get under the cap
Jauronimo Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Looks like VY just got canned. https://twitter.com/VinceYoung Vince Young @VinceYoung "I want to thank the Bills organization for the opportunity and wish the organization and my teammates good luck this season".

Lots of mathematical possibilities. Of course, cut a guy who has played WR, QB and can return kicks and has been learning the coaches "Wildcat" offence, In order to keep someone who plays WR and may be able to return kicks if needed. Thats the way a smart GM does things! So the complaint is that Smith can't throw, making the Wildcat One dimensional because everyone knows its going to be a run all the time, and replace him with a RB that can't throw any better?

But... but... You just said the Wildcat sucks and can be learned by anybody. And I was just trying to see both sides of the story here. I never said it was a good idea, it was just speculation.

Optometric Insight Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 What's with the FO grabbing guys with the same names. We have TJ Graham who is referred to as TJ; we have Tavaris Jackson, who is being referred to as TJ; we have Fred Jackson who is referred to as Jackson or Freddy; we have 3 Williams; and there are 2 Johnsons
hondo in seattle Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Gailey has said we're keeping Brad Smith as the #3. Seems like VY and Thigpen are both out. Remember, the #3 QB is simply the 3rd string QB nor is he, even in Chan's mind, the Wildcat QB. The #3 QB is an extra player who can suit up and not count against your game day total. So you want someone versatile. Brad Smith is not a great QB, but he is versatile.

He is the perfect guy for it.

You can make jokes about me cause I hate the wildcat. So funny. And you used a Chris Griffin reference because you think I'm a 16 year old pre pubecent boy. HAHAHAHAHA!!! It's hilarious. Even with my small undeveloped brain I was able to get that.
