RuntheDamnBall Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Yeah. Clearly they should never have cut him in the first place. I reason I recall being given was he wasn't getting enough reps. Brilliant. I'm guessing they didn't have a crystal ball that would tell them that Kevin Kolb would get a concussion. One can argue that if there was ever a bet that you might win, putting money on Kevin Kolb getting hurt would be a pretty sure winner, though.
alias Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 The Tuel trashing session was last Thursday against the Browns. The non-stop, deeply satisfying (for some) and deeply disturbing (for others) Tuel Trashing session commenced a long, long time before the Browns game. I suggest that you check the archives.
GG Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 One can argue that if there was ever a bet that you might win, putting money on Kevin Kolb getting hurt would be a pretty sure winner, though. Exactly. And what would you call placing that big bet on the most important position in football?

I suggest that you check the archives. Tuel has sucked since the beginning of training camp. His bashing has been warranted since day one. He's terrible.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Exactly. And what would you call placing that big bet on the most important position in football? How often do backup QBs get hurt? And after Kolb got hurt, who did you want to sign? Trust me, I was no fan of Kolb. I wanted to keep Fitz as a backup. But he didn't want to be here and people are overvaluing the QB market. There aren't many quality backup QBs in this league.
5 Wide Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 All of his Throws against the Lions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIWu45CRszM&feature=youtu.be Hint.... expect a lot of runs and not a lot of accuracy

UpperDeck Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 He was only here for a few days at that point. He knows the offense much better now.
Wayne Cubed Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 only if winning games NOW !! is your first priority. thad lewis , tuel and pat white are keystone cops.....this season is over. You didn't even answer the question. I'll ask again, why would Josh Freeman be worth $5 million?

Kolb has never finished an NFL season healthy. He's rung up a bunch of concussions. He was among the most highly sacked QBs in the league. You obviously can never plan on QBs getting hurt, but some are much more at risk than others. If you had to choose a backup QB in March, and you assigned an injury risk weight, would you go with a Todd Collins or a Rob Johnson?
QCity Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Hint.... expect a lot of runs and not a lot of accuracy I'm thinking full-blown read-option on every single play. We want him throwing no more than 10 passes the entire game.
eball Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Thad Lewis starting next week. Ok. Deep breath. The Good: -- familiarity with playbook/personnel/coaches -- practiced against Bills' D -- has started an NFL game with some success -- athletic/mobile The Bad: -- average arm -- accuracy suspect -- hasn't played with the "ones" Basically, it's a crap shoot. He's not going to wow us with anything, but might be able to manage a gameplan and make a few plays with his legs when things inevitably break down. I hope the home crowd recognizes this and is supportive, because there are bound to be plenty of bumps in this road.

If you had to choose a backup QB in March, and you assigned an injury risk weight, would you go with a Todd Collins or a Rob Johnson? I agree with your point overall, but pickings were slim. Like you, I never trusted Kolb. But honestly, I have no idea who else was out there? Jason Campbell? This year was all about EJ and it jsut sucks he got hurt.
gobillsinytown Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 You didn't even answer the question. I'll ask again, why would Josh Freeman be worth $5 million? Because he thinks he should be worth 5 million. Or 7 million, because he heard of him recently.
plenzmd1 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Ever recall a QB on the practice squad being called up that week for a game, and then winning that game. I know I don't. So...we had Thad on the PS , but he was in essense our #3...as was Hoyer when he went in for Weeden. Remember Jason Campbell was their #2

I'm not making any excuses BUT Lewis was with the Bills for LESS than 7 days when he played in that last game!!
