Buftex Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 There are 5 QBs remaining who could start over Fitzpatrick next year...Alex Smith, Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley and EJ Manuel Now if the Bills don't sign Alex Smith and Geno Smith doesn't drop to them, the Bills will be staring down the barrel of a decision with taking a QB like Wilson or Barkley at #8 (I'm sure one of them will be there) or waiting to see if EJ Manuel is still there with their 2nd round pick (which I doubt he will be). So there is a scenario where the Bills will have Fitzpatrick as their starting QB another year. If I'm the Bills, the only QB I take at #8 is Geno Smith. If he's not there, try to trade back for a 2014 first round pick which would be used in a package to trade up for Johnny Football, Bridgewater, or Boyd in 2014. If that doesn't happen then pick either Ansah or Patterson at #8, then try trade up ahead of second round QB desperate teams to get EJ Manuel. So, are we assuming Matt Flynn is off the table, for the Bills? Someone is going to trade for him.
1billsfan Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 So, are we assuming Matt Flynn is off the table, for the Bills? Someone is going to trade for him. I think that there is zero chance the Bills are looking at Matt Flynn. The Bills are either looking for Alex Smith or one of the QBs in this draft. Matt Flynn is either a push or a downgrade at the QB position to what Ryan Fitzpatrick presently provides.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Is Vick good? No Does Vick suck? No Does Fritz suck? Yes Did Vicks Oline in Philly suck more than fritz? Yes Who would I rather watch play QB for the Bills, Fritz or Vick? Vick Would I prefer other QBs to Vick? Yes, but if the choice is fritz or Vick, Vick wins unanimous dec. Ugh.... Like asking if you'd rather Jeff George or bernie kosar. No matter which on it is they will be THE reason the team isn't as good as it should be.
Homey D. Clown Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I am very happy that the Philadelphia braintrust used some madden highlights to fuel his resigning. It will save us one more year of people around here hoping we sign him.
Mr. WEO Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Sure looks like Vick's agent sensed very little interest outside of Philly, otherwise no way Vick signs a one year deal for 10 mil to possibly backup Foles.
Malazan Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 He wont' backup Foles, but he'll be injured regardless of how much armor they put on him.
26CornerBlitz Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Sure looks like Vick's agent sensed very little interest outside of Philly, otherwise no way Vick signs a one year deal for 10 mil to possibly backup Foles. Vick really wanted to stay in Philly and play in Chip Kelly's offense. Had nothing to do with any interest or lack thereof from any other team.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Anyways, Clayton's fecal ball didn't stick to the wall.

Beerball Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Vick really wanted to stay in Philly and play in Chip Kelly's offense. Had nothing to do with any interest or lack thereof from any other team. According to Vick? I'm sure that both came into play. Vick fits Kelly's mold (based on Oregon) infinitely better than Foles. Vick takes a 1 year chance that he'll perform well and get one more contract. Meanwhile...I can't imagine that there was much interest in Vick around the league. Now he's guaranteed 3.5 million, another 3.5 for making the roster, then incentives based on playing time. It's a no brainer for Philly. 3.5 mill and if he sucks during TC you cut him. Vick on the other hand is looking at this as $7.0 million guaranteed plus incentives. Not bad for one season.
Ramius Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 On the other hand, this new deal makes Vick much more tradeable than before. This deal doesnt mean that he's staying in Philly. Just gives them more leverage.

And if it does he will not pass for 2,000 yards. Vick is a joke. So glad he resigned with Phili.

He's made no secret in the recent past that he considers himself a starter only. Yet now he's taking a pay cut to try out for the job. Philly knew the market for him was weak and made a low ball offer. He took it. This one's not hard to figure out. It's the only deal that made sense for either party. Also, you missed the past 2 seasons, but Vick would be long term disability well before he came close to running for 1000 yards. He rarely outran anyone last year.
BuffBill Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Nobody in the Eagles front office would directly say "no" to the question if Michael Vick could still be traded when asked. He is much more tradeable now, with that huge contract torn up.

No surprise given the punishment he's absorbed behind that putrid Eagle line. We'll see how well he thrives in Kelly's system.

Vick should try to finally become an actual quarterback. The fact that he's even thinking of running the ball indicates a complete lack of self-awareness and self-development.
FleaMoulds80 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 So let me get this straight. Lets say we lose our best o-lineman and pick up a QB that likes to run around and is prone to injury and then have Vick mentor a young rookie QB we'll draft later this year? Makes perfect sense to me.

The fact that he's even thinking of running the ball indicates a complete lack of self-awareness and self-development. Stupidity and Arrogance aren't a great mix. Unfortunately for Vick, those two words define exactly who and what he is.
