KD in CA Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Jeff Tuel would be 5th string. No argument there! Look around you. Do you see a healthy NFL QB ANYWHERE ON THIS TEAM? It's different degrees of non-NFL QB-ness at this point. David Carr says hello.
White Linen Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 No way. I couldn't handle another weak armed QB.
prissythecat Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 That may not really be true. They debated Flynn, who Philbin coached, versus drafting Tannehill, whom they knew they could draft, whom their new OC coached. They obviously made the right choice. I seem to remember someone saying before that Philbin did not consider Flynn an upgrade over Matt Moore. So thats why they did not pursue him?
Kelly the Dog Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I seem to remember someone saying before that Philbin did not consider Flynn an upgrade over Matt Moore. So thats why they did not pursue him? Well, we cannot take a coach for his word on anything, nor do we know from "someone said". We can easily surmise that Philbin didn't think Flynn was a good bet to be a top 10-15 QB because the Dolphins didn't strongly pursue him. That doesn't at all mean that Philbin thinks Flynn sucks. I've heard Philbin say good things about Flynn. I would assume that Philbin said what he did about Moore because they didn't sign Flynn and Moore was his QB. They didn't know what they had in Tannehill until he started playing with live bullets and he played decently.
K D Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Bring him in for a workout at the very least. Tonight. Beggars can't be choosers. We need someone with SOME experience and he's the best available at this point

I'll get my coat.
Rob's House Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I find it amusing that the board seems to favor Pat White, who washed out of the league never having completed a pass, despite being an early round pick, over Flynn who has at least shown flashes of competence & has started games in the NFL. Seems too many Bills fans have champagne taste on a beer budget.

Agreed. If true, all it means is that Flynn would not put them in a better position than what they had . Doesn't necessarily mean he was bad. But remember though that Matt Moore is not starting anymore in the league.
Rubes Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Seems too many Bills fans have champagne taste on a beer budget. I think the issue is that most folks here want to buy "The Champagne of Beers" in the hopes that they'll actually be getting champagne.
1B4IDie Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 We need another QB and we can't be picky. Between Tuel, Lad Thewis, and Flyn/White/Dixon one of them has got to be serviceable right? I think the issue is that most folks here want to buy "The Champagne of Beers" in the hopes that they'll actually be getting champagne. Blasphemer! Do not talk ill of the High Life. No High Life for you!

apuszczalowski Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 So I'm assuming the Bills did not actually sign Pat White last night as reported? sounds like with this move they are going to since he was scheduled to come in for a tryout today. Otherwise there is no point getting rid of Flynn today unless they needed a roster spot for someone else
VirginiaMike Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 The Raiders just released Flynn. Any interest? I'd like to see the Bills sign him. No way -- We had Trent Edwards so been there, done that.

JPS Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Only if Seattle signs him and then we can give up a 7th rounder for him.
thewildrabbit Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 He set the Green Bay Packers all-time record for passing yards and TDs thrown in one game. THAT ALONE makes him more qualified than Thad Lewis and Jeff Tuel. Didn't the Bills sign a QB in the past because of one singular good performance game start...Rob Johnson esque. It makes me wonder why the Bills don't even look at Tim Tebow, at least he won a playoff game.
Thisistheyear Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I get it. This is the internet in America where you're allowed to be wholly uninformed on a topic and still voice your opinion. (I'm pretty sure it's encouraged.) BUT HAVE YOU SEEN MATT FLYNN PLAY? Sorry for shouting, but this is ridiculous. I hope no one suggesting Matt Flynn actually watched him play this year. I'm not sure how it's possible, but Jeff Tuel played better against Cleveland. He was awful. Atrocious. If you took how good Peyton Manning has been and asked me to describe the exact opposite, I would say either my 3 year old nephew or Matt Flynn. The guy will get another chance somewhere, but if it's here the FO is truly as incompetent as some of you people think. If I knew how to meme, there'd be a very annoyed Jean Luc Picard embedded in this post. Because that's how I feel. Between this and some of the other QB suggestions, I just can't take it anymore. Bills fans are supposed to be informed, knowledgeable football fans. Please, can we step our game up? Edited October 7, 2013 by Thisistheyear
Big Turk Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Never...the man has shown he sucks...see last weeks performance as an example...the Raiders cut him and let a UDFA rookie take his spot...give me a break
