HOUSE Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) That didn’t take long. Yesterday the Chicago Bears released quarterback Jordan Palmer and named Jimmy Clausen their official backup quarterback. Today we learned that their Week 1 opponents, the Buffalo Bills, plan on signing him to a new contract. The most immediate benefit that the Bills will get from Palmer is loads of information about how the Bears offense operates. Even though head coach Doug Marrone denies it: SNIP> http://network.yardb...palmer/17138609 Edited August 27, 2014 by HOUSE
truth on hold Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) “It’s not exactly what you want,” Cutler said. “He can give them things I’m sure. He knows snap counts, some of the stuff we do with our checks, what plays we like. But they still have to defend it. So we won’t change much if anything, maybe a few tweaks here and there. But we’ll just have to go play football and see how it goes.” doesn't sound annoyed. just a practical response. disappointing too, since I was hoping signing of palmer had added benefit of getting inside his head Edited August 27, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack
GunnerBill Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I'm not sure Marrone will do that but if it makes the Bears second guess their week 1 gameplan and they start running stuff that they are not as comfortable or familiar with then all the better for us.
The Wiz Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Nice little shot at the bills with the last sentence there.
HOUSE Posted August 27, 2014 Author Posted August 27, 2014 Nice little shot at the bills with the last sentence there.
sjjr Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Palmer for sure has a lot of info on what the Bears D is game planning. Belichek has been doing this kind of stuff to the Bills for years....great move.
BillsFanM.D. Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 This is approximately the 7000th time this scenario has happened in the NFL. Big deal. Cutler should get a grip.
BuffaloBill Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Nice little shot at the bills with the last sentence there. Yep, but the Bills will get no respect until they win consistently. They've earned the disrespect through 14 years of suck.
nucci Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I think coaches and players look at film all the time to try and figure out how to play an opponent. As as earlier post said, players are cut and signed by teams all the time. I doubt there is a huge advantage in this.
8-8 Forever? Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Yep, but the Bills will get no respect until they win consistently. They've earned the disrespect through 14 years of suck. +1. The Bills suck until consistently proven otherwise on the field
BuffaloBaumer Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 It's so pathetic that the entire Nfl views the Bills like that last line describes. .....sad but true
Dirtbag Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 i love how no one in the lamestream media has asked the bills how they feel about the bears signing caussin. he was here for years, so i'm sure he knows all our snap counts. plus, no one finds it curious that they made him their backup qb? dude was a tight end! to me, that's far more out of line than the bills signing palmer.
Best Player Available Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 What a Cry baby Who cares he is better than anyone playing under center for the bills, in quite awhile.
Cugalabanza Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 What exactly did he say that was a shot at the Bills? Am I missing something? Cutler didn't take a shot at the Bills. The guy who wrote the article did..."The good news is that even if Palmer is able to give them an inside scoop, the Bills still have an inherent disadvantage to overcome in being the Buffalo Bills."
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Cutler didn't take a shot at the Bills. The guy who wrote the article did..."The good news is that even if Palmer is able to give them an inside scoop, the Bills still have an inherent disadvantage to overcome in being the Buffalo Bills." You have to admit that that's pretty funny... And true.
Cugalabanza Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 You have to admit that that's pretty funny... And true. I guess I can't deny it
PromoTheRobot Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) You have to admit that that's pretty funny... And true. Thanks for the billboard material, Jay. Cutler can remind himself of that while he's running for his life. Edited August 27, 2014 by PromoTheRobot

Agreed This gets so overblown every time a team signs a former player of a future opponent.
