ChasBB Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I know he's not even a solid player, but you have to feel bad for the guy. One year on the bench, re-signed by a new coaching staff and not making it to TC must be tough. Well, he did make $1.75 million dollars in 2012, so can't say I exactly feel bad for the guy, but I know what you're trying to say.

vincec Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Well so much for the people predicting that Jackson would win the QB competition with Kolb. and then there were 3 QBs... at least we gave him a shot, i liked him. maybe they didn't want someone too like EJ They did? I think that's debatable.
BRAWNDO Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 4m With the Bills releasing Tarvaris Jackson, can't help but think Tyler Thigpen would make sense there for a return under a new regime
26CornerBlitz Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 4m With the Bills releasing Tarvaris Jackson, can't help but think Tyler Thigpen would make sense there for a return under a new regime WTH is he thinking?
Optometric Insight Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 They did? I think that's debatable. They did resign him and let him practice
vincec Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 They did resign him and let him practice There's no way that Kolb separated himself enough from Jackson to warrant his outright release even before mini-camp based on merit. His release was obviously a foregone conclusion once they signed Kolb and drafted Manuel, assuming that Kolb didn't totally bomb during OTAs. I wouldn't call that a fair chance. Incidentally, is it any less a foregone conclusion that Manuel will become the starter this season? Kolb is basically auditioning for his next team or possibly a backup role if he can outperform Tuel.
Bufcomments Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 oh my, didnt see this coming. I'll say this about Coach Marrone, he is better at judging talent than Chan, look how fast TJak got bounced. This either says they are very happy about how EJ is coming along or they like Kolb more than they let on. Either way both Kolb and EJ get more reps during the preseason. God I cant wait for training camp...
brucethomas34 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 He looked good to me as far as throwing spirals. Glad they had the guts to cut him after just signing him if they felt they had better options...I don't think i would have the stomach to be a GM... Best of luck T Jack! BUFFALO BILLS BE BOWL BOUND BABY!
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 and then there were 3 QBs... at least we gave him a shot, i liked him. maybe they didn't want someone too like EJ I don't see Tjax as anything like Emanuel. Completely different type of QB.
TheFunPolice Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 It got confusing with EJ and TJ being so similar sounding. E and T sound a lot alike, so they made the only decision they could.
Ralph W. Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Don't think Tuel was better....just cheaper. Yea I don't care about Tuel anyways. Edited June 11, 2013 by EJ3
Alphadawg7 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) This is pretty simple. Marrone said he was going to get EJ equal snaps. 3 QBs can't take equal snaps as none of them will get enough snaps. This was no surprise really as EJ has been receiving very high praise on how far along he is and someone had to go and Kolb has more upside than TJ. Edited June 11, 2013 by Alphadawg7
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Just saw from the mobile app. thoughts? thank God Nix is gone, at least now Whaley can get rid of his mistakes. The question now is whether Tuel gets the 3rd spot or they cut him and put him on the PS (if he shows anything) and keep Brad Smith as the emergency QB/utility man? Smith is gone, time to cut more dead weight.
Doc Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Smith is gone, time to cut more dead weight. If they cut TJax (dead weight) now,they should do the same with Smith. We'll see.
Nanker Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) It got confusing with EJ and TJ being so similar sounding. E and T sound a lot alike, so they made the only decision they could. Yeah, I hear ya. Good thing they didn't release EJ! That REALLY wouldda been a screwup. Edited June 11, 2013 by Nanker
Mr. WEO Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 oh my, didnt see this coming. I'll say this about Coach Marrone, he is better at judging talent than Chan Buddy, look how fast TJak got bounced. Fixed that for you. Marrone dumped the guy Buddy signed twice (and traded for) and who never played a down. More evidence that Marrone ran this draft and is making all of the major personnel decisions since he got here. Can't be a bad thing.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Another bizarre chapter in Bills lore comes to an end. Trade for him, never dress him, re-sign him, cut him. Did I miss anything? Perhaps he'll be rushed to a hospital from a nightclub and later tweet that he was dehydrated? Glad to see the competition thin for EJ. Sad to see TJax get treated like this, though. With the way NFL teams have accelerated the installation of their systems in recent years, it does put TJax in a tough place but he could still find a team looking for another QB as we're still a month or so out from training camps. And he got to keep his signing bonus and workout bonus which was a nice chunk of change. Well so much for the people predicting that Jackson would win the QB competition with Kolb. They did? I think that's debatable. Well they did re-sign him and he pretty much split snaps with Kolb so I don't think it's a reach to say that the team gave him a chance to prove he was better than Kolb. I don't see Tjax as anything like Emanuel. Completely different type of QB. Plus he's not even a film character.
BillsVet Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Have to believe they'll go into camp with more than 3 arms, only one of which has thrown a NFL pass. Costs them 500k for less than 3 months or work.
