truth on hold Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I know it's unlikely, but let's say with his back to the wall, Thigpen comes out and really lights it up. Looks like the 2nd coming of Montana. Clearly provides Bills with the best QB performance we've seen not only in the preseason, but in several years. Jackson's on a renogiated contract so I reckon he's safe. Does Gailey go against his promise to keep Smith #3 on the depth chart? If not, what about Fitz?

Pilsner Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 What if presidential candidates keep their promises? It's unlikely that Thigpen will show us much. As much as I want him to show us improvement because he's on our team I just don't see it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I liked the Jackson move when I first heard about it, but the more I've thought about it the more I love it. I wish TT all the best, but Chan basically said it in his press conference that TT has given him zero confidence that he can be consistent in any way. With this being a make or break year for Fitzy, Tavaris gives us a legit, viable option at the #2 spot in terms of his ability to come into a game and lead us to a win. I think we'll look back at this season when all is said and done and consider throwing TT under the bus that TJax was driving one of the best moves we made for 2012.

Pilsner Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Tarvaris was a good pickup for the price. He'll alleviate some of our concerns. He's no Frank Reich but he'll be an ok backup until we upgrade further. If we are really lucky Chan and Lee will be able to get more out of him than previous coaches. Now fans can fret on other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a solid #2 in the even that Fitz gets it together and keeps it together, or if Fitz can't get it done then Tavaris will be a good transitional QB until we trade for or draft a legit starter. As for TT, I don't see a place for him here anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thigpen will be auditioning for the rest of the league. If he plays well then it may land him another job after he is cut in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakPop Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have a feeling Thigpen must be good at running the scout team in practice or something. Maybe as a backup he pays attention to details that are the backups job and that's why Chan likes him. Maybe Thigpen is not a very good QB on the field but is someday coach material. There has to be a reason Chan likes the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsrcursed Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 What makes you think he even sees the field tonight? J/K, kinda. I'd say it's highly unlikely, but if it did play out that way, he'd be saving himself from sitting out in '12, albeit for another team in desparate need for a backup/3rd stringer.

truth on hold Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 But you guys all love Chan and his backing of fitz. Must be something he saw in thigpen too. Thigpens had a lot of time to learn the offense and be knows this is a make or break performance for him. So again what if shines brightly ? Can bills so easily part ways given what they seen out of Fitz this preseason, being backed up by a total newcomer in Jackson ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
