DDD Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I'm guessing that Jackson isn’t picking up the offense as quickly as Chan had hoped he would and that is why he’ll stay at #3 for the season. That and because Brad Smith has been working more with the WRs due to the lack of depth/talent there. Yes he was. More like he sucks now that Chan has seen him play in person
starrymessenger Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 More like he sucks now that Chan has seen him play in person More like Chan does not have the guts to admit that his choice of a starting QB is an epic fail. Let me tell you right now what's in store for Fitz: 1) Chan man's up and sits Fitz. That would involve big personal courage on his part and colossal embarrassment, os 2) Chan gets booted at year end and the new guy gets rid of Fitz. Either way, Fitz is basically done as the Bills starting QB.

That and because Brad Smith has been working more with the WRs due to the lack of depth/talent there. Yes he was. I am guessing that if Jackson doesn't pickup the offense this year, he will not be resigned. VY's problem was between the ears, and perhaps Jackson has some of that as well. Stay tuned! We do have a Harvard man starting, with his big brain!!!
The Voice of Truth Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 It was a good move. They did it because if the Seahawks cut him they were going to have to fight other teams to sign him. Anyone who did not watch Vince Young in the preseason, stop saying ¨we should have kept Young!¨ No we should not have. He freaking sucks and you would easily be able to tell that if you watched. This was a good move if it is our intention to use him as a backup. My biggest fear is that once Fitz fails, they are going to try to sell Jackson to the fanbase as the next starter. If they do this, I will stop watching. We need an elite prospect!
2003Contenders Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 He will be dressed up as our QB for the future while Buffalo yet again skips on drafting a young franchise QB to develop. And who, pray tell, was this young QB they passed over?
Cugalabanza Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 If T. Jackson can't beat out Thigpen, that kinda tells me all I need to know. 'cuz Thigpen is BAD!
bobobonators Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Dude threw for over 3000 yards last year, we needed someone that is an actual QB (not Brad) for that spot. $1.75M is reasonable, and 7th round picks are a joke. Would you rather Ralph just keep the money to add to the stack he'll never spend? lol. exactly.
outsidethebox Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Shouldn't they have known what they were trading for? Why make a trade for qb you know nothing about?
DUFF Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 This is all I can think of in regard to this post: - Fitz is playing terrible and all the fans are calling for his head. - If Tavaris Jackson was the 2nd string quarterback fans would be calling for Fitz to be pulled, and to put TJ in. - Chan & Nix know that us fans will not be chanting for "Thigpen" at the next home game and shaking Fitz's confidence anymore than it already is. (If Tavaris was the backup we would have been calling his name at the New England game.) - Well played Chan! now work on your gameplan!

DUFF Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 It follows the "your backup qb is always the most popular guy on a bad team" theory... unless your backup qb gets a football bounced off his helmet while warming up and is named "thigpen"...in that case utilize smelling salts and reinsert broken qb!
mob16151 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 If T. Jackson can't beat out Thigpen, that kinda tells me all I need to know. 'cuz Thigpen is BAD! Depends. Do you et thr guy who has a year in the system get first crack at the job if Fitz goes down, or the guy with 5 weeks.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Ralph Is Wasteful! Funniest line around here in at least a week. Well done. What does Buffalo's Pro Personnel Department do anyway? Well presumably they had a lot to do with the Bills offering contracts to Mario Williams, Robert Meachem, and Mark Anderson. This is all I can think of in regard to this post: - Fitz is playing terrible and all the fans are calling for his head. - If Tavaris Jackson was the 2nd string quarterback fans would be calling for Fitz to be pulled, and to put TJ in. - Chan & Nix know that us fans will not be chanting for "Thigpen" at the next home game and shaking Fitz's confidence anymore than it already is.

This all makes sense except that it might actually be possible for us to hit rock bottom and start calling for Thigpen.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 http://profootballta...o-3-all-season/ From Chan's own mouth, Tarvaris isn't expected to rise above 3rd string this season. THIS SEASON! The Bills org spent $1.75 Million for a 1 year contract and traded away a draft pick (a 7th, but moves up to a 6th if he is active for 6 games) for a 3rd string QB. Sound move! Thank you, Buffalo Bills, for once again proving that you are who we thought you were. well you don't want to upgrade to a 6th rounder do ya? besides our playbook is so huge only a Harvard Grad can learn it.
simpleman Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 well you don't want to upgrade to a 6th rounder do ya? besides our playbook is so huge only a Harvard Grad can learn it. Well we are in real trouble if only a Harvard grad can learn it. The only ones that seem confused by our huge and complicated playbook are our own players. I don't see much confusion in the opposing players defensive players. Isn't the idea of a complicated offense suppose to confuse the opponent, not your own players? Yeah, Chan is an offensive genius alright!
NoSaint Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 well presumably they had a lot to do with the Bills offering contracts to Mario Williams, Robert Meachem, and Mark Anderson. on the brightside - we didnt get meachem. wasnt a fan of breaking the bank for him and he has followed his underwhelming career path while in San Diego so far
TrueStory80 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Dude threw for over 3000 yards last year, we needed someone that is an actual QB (not Brad) for that spot. $1.75M is reasonable, and 7th round picks are a joke. Would you rather Ralph just keep the money to add to the stack he'll never spend? Shannon Sharpe, Tom Nalen, Donald Driver, Marques Colston, Gary Anderson, Stevie Johnson, Justin Rogers, Julian Edelman, Rashad Jennings, Peyton Hillis, Ahmad Bradshaw, Cortland Finnegan, Dave Tollefson, Jay Ratliff, Tully Banta Cain, Brett Keisel, Rock Cartwright, TJ Houshmanzadeh, Jay Riemersma, Adam Timmerman, Jamal Anderson, Michael McCrary, Kurt Schulz, Leon Lett, Dave Szott, Marion Butts, and a guy named Bo Jackson were all 7th round draft picks. There are lots of diamonds in the rough that can be found so I wouldn't say they're a complete joke. True Story.
