Bills Trade for Lions QB Thaddeus Lewis

only on Wikipedia ..... "While in high school, Lewis was trained by the well known Floridian quarterback coach, Chris Fahr. Fahr trained Lewis, along with other standout American Football quarterbacks such as Matt Wilde, John Glazier, and Stephen Guenther" WHO? I've never heard of any of those "standout American Football quarterbacks."

 

See. I think that speaks very well of Wiki to have a factoid like that. Those guys were probably highly-ranked high school QBs in that football factory known as Florida.

 

I personally like more information than less information.

 

College highlight clip...he's undersized, but appears to have pretty good movement skills.

 

Fairly sturdy looking body and throws well on the run. Kinda looks like Steve McNair a bit.

 

Also, evidently he started one game for Cleveland in 2011. Went 22-32 204yds 1TD/1INT. Sounds like buffalo QB numbers to me!

 

He did that against the number one ranked defense that year in the Steelers.

Think The Pats are really worried about the Bils right now ? :nana:

 

OUCH! Touche!

 

 

 

Lol

 

*pops in game tape

 

"how the hell do I gameplan for THAT?"

 

LoL... The whole tape can be panning through the drunk crowd. We can still hold the game. Just don't play... ;-)

 

We'd be the only team to forfeit to gain a tactical advantage! :-)

In hindsight that exemption lasting through the first week of the season would've been really nice right now - and that's nothing to do with Byrd. The extra week to figure out injuries/ability before activating Byrd the day before the game could've been nice

I agree but doubt Byrd would have liked not getting coin for game 1 (almost 1/2 a million).

New guy looks like a typical but good college QB, and Jboys is right fast release. I like that he has athletic abilities, we'll see.

That's exactly what I thought, as well. McNair threw a much nicer ball based on this highlight tape, but this kid seems to be VERY active and can threaten in several ways.

 

Who knows, maybe he's got the raw materials that Hackett and the boys can shape and mold into a solid player for us.

What do you offer the lions for a re-tread QB who was likely to be cut by the lions, and likely to be cut by the Bills?

 

I get we need arms right now, but I am curious what we offered. Even a 7th round pick seems excessive!

Chris White was traded for him.

The same personnel evaluators that thought Kolb was a good investment? But what are ya gonna do? You have to believe that Kolb was an aberration.

 

I think this would hold more weight if Kolb was horrible as a starter in the regular season. We knew he was injury prone, but that doesn't mean he would definetly be injured here. This is not a slight on the front office's choices, it was an injury that could end his career. They took a flyer that was risky because of his injury past, but they may have thought our offensive line could keep him clean and he would excel. Didn't work out, happens, move on. Lets see how they do during the season before we judge what we think of this staff.
