CSBill Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 hmmmm? Tebow or Russell, and Isn't Trent E still available
The Wiz Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Jamarcus Russell is rested and ready! Put me in coach.... can you help me up first.
Chilly Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) What's really disappointing is Thad Lewis last year looked like he could be a pretty compettent backup. Can't think they thought he might regress. Could have still used another QB though, given Tuel/Dixon. Edited August 24, 2014 by BlueFire
Santana Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Marrone in my honest opinion is an idiot. I mean there should've been a viable veteran backup there since the day he took over the team or at least drafted EJ. Instead we he put all of his eggs into the Jeff Tuel and Thad Lewis basket? that's just ignorance and arrogance at its finest.
PS 56 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Why not Tebow? He went to college in Florida. He's played for the Jets. He been with New England. Hey we are the only part of the AFC east he hasn't visited!
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 We should trade the pick that we traded to the Browns for Ponder. They won't even notice.
VanCity Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 I would put money on it that Sancheese is a Ram really quick. I don't see them as back-up QB competition. I'd be fine with taking Ponder off the Vikes hands, but Kyle Orton would be the ideal available man for the job

Could have still used another QB though, given Tuel/Dixon. Interesting point and I agree. I cant help but to wonder if it is our coaching staff that is ruining all of these QB's. They all seem to have regressed. Maybe the players are fine, but they are being ruined by bad coaching ?
JoeyFictionsBills7014 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I've been getting a lot of flack from my group of friends who are Bills fans for saying that I wish that the Bills had Fitzpatrick right about now. Now before everyone starts to go off about how he sucks or that he was the worst thing to happen to Buffalo, think about this... He had consecutive seasons with 3,000 or more yards. Sure, he threw A LOT of interceptions but he took chances. I guess what I'm trying to say is "You don't know what you got till it's gone."
balz2walz Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Jordan Palmer - will be cut by Bears - better than what's on roster now.
Mr. WEO Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Are we holding Dixon hostage like we did T. Jackson? Just keeping other teams from having him but not actually using him? Best post all week!!
Hanoverbills Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 How about J.P.Losman for deep balls and Trent Edwards for checkdowns. Send Graham, Goodwin and Watkins deep an Losman can throw it deep to them, like he used to do to Lee Evans. I quest we don't need Trent for check downs, because Manuel already good at that.
kasper13 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Bears are going to cut Palmer. Trentative Edwards is the 4th QB on the Raiders roster. Signing someone retired/unemployed doesn't really improve anything. They did that last year. There will be some guys cut by Tuesday and then more on Aug 30th. Maybe someone better than what we have will be available. Just have to wait and see
The Bunk Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 This team should have been blowing up a guy like Josh McCown's phone.
BillsLux Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 He should be open to it. Last year, just a few games into the season, the season was over because we didn't have a decent backup (Tuel playing). It's difficult to comprehend that he and management put us into that position again. Honestly, I'm surprised a bit with Lewis, I thought he was a decent backup last year. I have no idea what happened.
SmokinES3 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Jamarcus Russell is rested and ready! Sadly this crossed my mind, but left as quickly as it came.
Big Gun Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Marrone in my honest opinion is an idiot. I mean there should've been a viable veteran backup there since the day he took over the team or at least drafted EJ. Instead we he put all of his eggs into the Jeff Tuel and Thad Lewis basket? that's just ignorance and arrogance at its finest. I don't think it was a concern of his as EJ is/was the man in his eyes. I think they put all their eggs in EJs basket, and have been utterly shocked at how bad he has been, hence his comments about a QB. I have to believe Marrone is smart enough to know that if EJ fails he gets fired so he is going to do what he needs to do in order to keep his job. If that means replacing EJ, so be it. We shall see!

Prickly Pete Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I would sooner try the best QB in the CFL, than bring in Ponder, Fitz, Sanchez, Orton, or any other of these waste bin clowns. There is no point to this hand wringing. No QB is available that will play significantly better than EJM. The Bills would go nowhere with any of them. It's EJM, sink or swim... Edited August 25, 2014 by HoF Watkins
Kurt Warner Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Wasn't Ponder terrible in Minnesota? Is Orton young enough? I thought Lewis was okay - why are they down on him?
