Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Freeman might be signed by Raiders http://walterfootbal...ftrumormill.php He might be, but "Walter Football" seems to be going off the connection to Freeman's former OC and the Raider's poor QB sitch, not knowledge of an imminent deal.
JM57 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Freeman might be signed by Raiders http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftrumormill.php WalterFootball is one of the last places I would go to find "inside information"
ALF Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 "The Raiders have been an obvious landing spot for Freeman as current Raiders' offensive coordinator Greg Olson was Freeman's offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay for the troubled quarterback's first three years in the NFL. " Makes sense to ALF
K D Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Freeman is going to wait until after the games tomorrow to pick a team: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/05/josh-freeman-could-pick-a-new-team-this-weekend/ My guess is he's hoping for one of the teams he's interested in going to (perhaps the Raiders) to have some bad qb play so he feels like he has a chance to go there and play
mart Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I!ve said this before, but David Carr might be the best available. Freeman is a retred that the other 31 teams don!t want for various reasons. Carr really has no negative body of work for years as a backup to Eli Manning in NY. Manning is like a god there, and no matter how many pics he throws this year (leading the league), he will never go to the bench as his 2 Super Bowl wins gets him a lifetime of immunity with the Giants.

I don't think that it is fair to say that teams don't want him. He is not great but he is by MILES the best QB available. Does he want to come here and play for a month or two? Is he better trying to find his next job now? That's what he is debating...

How is Freeman a retred but Carr isn't? I don't see how you can say the other 31 teams don't want him when its obvious there is interest and he will sign soon maybe even by the Bills
Omar Little Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Freeman has played for one team, thrown 25 TDs or more twice, and 4,000-plus yards once. Carr has played for four teams, never throwing more than 16 TDs or 3,500 yards in a season. But Freeman is the retread?
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) WalterFootball is one of the last places I would go to find "inside information" Well, there's that also. "The Raiders have been an obvious landing spot for Freeman as current Raiders' offensive coordinator Greg Olson was Freeman's offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay for the troubled quarterback's first three years in the NFL. " Makes sense to ALF Makes sense to a lot of people but "makes sense" not.equal.to "imminent deal" Edit: if I were Freeman and had choices, I would look very carefully at the quality of the OL play at my potential landing spots. He would be better off sitting out the rest of the season and looking to redeem himself with help from an off-season of preparation than get kilt behind a crap OL. Edited October 5, 2013 by Hopeful
K D Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Looks like Pat White is the backup plan if Freeman picks Oakland. Bills bringing White in for a workout as per NFL.com Edited October 5, 2013 by kdiggz
Solomon Grundy Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Do anyone know when the Bills will resume practice? Reports are that Freeman will choose team this weekend. Looks like Pat White is the backup plan if Freeman picks Oakland. Bills bringing White in for a workout as per NFL.com Love the fact that the Bills are exacting their "due diligence"

Punch Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 According to Schefter, the Bills are talking to Freeman: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9777191/buffalo-bills-working-qbs-pat-white-dennis-dixon-source-says
ALF Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 It's not fair to throw a QB into a game with less then 2 weeks to prepare. Lienart is 1 example.
artmalibu Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 It's not fair to throw a QB into a game with less then 2 weeks to prepare. Lienart is 1 example. and he didnt look as bad as this stats. He actually looks like he has an NFL arm.

Peace Frog Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The thing that gets me is if Freeman is so good, why is he available? You don't see Tom Brady or Peyton Manning sitting at home waiting for a phone call. We started the season with Kolb, Manual, and Tuel for a reason. Start Tuel next week and promote Thad Lewis to backup. Otherwise, why the hell are they signed?
Omar Little Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The thing that gets me is if Freeman is so good, why is he available? Nobody thinks Freeman is "so good," but he's clearly the best quarterback available and the Bills are without a quarterback.
K D Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Everyone take a nap today so we can stay up for the late game tonight and cheer on the Raiders! Hopefully Pryor throws for 300 and runs for 100 and solidifies his job as the starter. Then maybe we will have a shot at Freeman
26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 @NFL_ATL If Josh Freeman goes to Oakland, it'd be as a starter over Terrelle Pryor @MikeSilver says.
