moshermw Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Joined to post this after reading all the support for Darrell Bevell as HC/OC and looking at the QB FA landscape. pardon my VT bias but ... Follow me through this: - Tyrod is a free agent this year, backed up Flacco past 4 years with the Ravens - carried a clipboard behind him and under Cam Cameron/Gary Kubiack as OC's - not comparing but think Aaron Rodgers behind Joe - Wants to be a starter - bad enough that we could get him 'cheap' - Do NOT hesitate to compare him to Russel Wilson on many fronts, arm, smarts, speed, desire (and ability) to win - Went 2-0 vs. Russell Wilson in the ACC (Also 1-0 ea. vs. EJ and Ponder OBTW) - Holds most relevant VT passing records - dude can throw it - and ran 4.45 at the combine - only knock was his 6'1 stature - read: R. Wilson. As elusive as Wilson - maybe more so .. - Pre- season is what it is but he's all but undefeated. Only chance he gets to play because Joe never gets hurt - and is the highly paid face of the Ravens franchise - unbenchable. - All 4 seasons Baltimore brought in someone to un-seed him as backup - beat these quarterbacks out: Dennis Dixon Keith Wenning Caleb Heinie Curtis Painter Not saying he's our next Jim Kelley or even Russell Wilson but the Bills need a 'gapper' till we can get a franchise guy in the draft like Teddy Bridegwater or Bortles. One cannot underestimate his desire to start in the NFL. Most folks thought he should just be a punt returner/slot guy and move on. Refused cuz that wasn't his goal. I say bring Tyrod in and let him compete with EJ ...again. Outcome was all Tyrod at VT.
Captain Hindsight Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 He beat out Curtis Painter and Dennis Dixon huh? Jeff Tuel could do that. He's a good athlete but his resume is sooooooo limited to think he has a snowballs chance to start here.

BuffaloFan68 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 He's a greedy jerk that cares more about his own stats than the game itself. Go back & watch some of his VT games & you'll see some wide open Receivers & TEs down field & Tyrod will look right at them & then take off running even though he doesn't have to. No thank you.
Maury Ballstein Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I don't see how this is a bad idea. Can't be worse than KO.
moshermw Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 if he was viable he'd probably be on a roster. That's the part where he's belonged to the Ravens, i.e., non-free agent. NO! Can we at least come ups with realistic prospects Not sure how this isn't realistic .. or .. a prospect ? 4 years in the league 1 spot behind a franchise QB, ready to tryout somewhere ? Can't see the harm in a look. He beat out Curtis Painter and Dennis Dixon huh? Jeff Tuel could do that. He's a good athlete but his resume is sooooooo limited to think he has a snowballs chance to start here. So could he beat out Tuel ? Why not look ?
JTO Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 At this point bring in every FA QB that is better that EJ. I'd release Tuel or keep him as your 3rd string.
moshermw Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Picture this: 1. Darrell Bevell - runs the Seahawks Offense with Russell Wilson 2. T. Taylor - as strong/accurate/ arm, faster and more elusive than RW - been in the league longer under a GOOD (read: Super Bowl) system - can't WAIT to start and learn under someone like DB. 3. CJ Spiller (Seahawks have NOTHING like him) 4. Sammy Watkins (see 3) 5. Marquise Goodwin (see 4) 6. Freddy Jackson/Bryce Brown/Boobie = 3 Marshawns That D with Kiko back... OL, OL, OL first 3 (2) rounds Championship !- with zero trades or deals other than bringing Tyrod for 1/2 of Orton $. EJ = quality backup or TT vice versa
mob16151 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I've always liked Tyrod,he's an electric athlete with a very good arm.
moshermw Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Never heard of him before. Interesting. He's been behind Flacco for 4 years. Joe never gets hurt. Would never go there but it's sort of like Aaron Rodgers behind Favre. Held the clipboard. 6th Rounder - biggest knocks were reading D's and too short (6'1). VT QB coaching has been a$$ since VIck (left after 2 years). Still he holds all VT passing records - broke Don Strock's. Is as fast as Russell Wilson if not faster. Has worked under Flacco and OC's Cam Cameron and Gary Kubiak last 4 years. Bet he can read NFL D's now. I say just bring him in for a look at least - that you've never heard of him is the beauty of it.
Dr. Fong Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 if he was viable he'd probably be on a roster. He is on a roster. The Baltimore Ravens. I'd release Tuel or keep him as your 3rd string. No, go with your first instinct.
Prickly Pete Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I don't know much about him, but I like the thinking behind it. It's basically EJM, or find a guy that hasn't had a chance to play, that's been sitting the bench behind a "franchise" QB. The old vets that have lost their job (like Orton, Foles, Kolb, Fitz,...on and on) aren't gonna make it. Any rookie, even a 1st rounder, would likely need at least a couple seasons to be ready to lead a team to the playoffs. Edited January 5, 2015 by HoF Watkins

He's been in the league like one more year than Manuel.
Prickly Pete Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 H How exactly is Foles an old vet who lost his job? He's been in the league like one more year than Manuel. I'm sorry I included him to make my point. I still don't like Foles though. Thank you very much.
BillnutinHouston Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Not saying he's our next Jim Kelley ____________________ So you're saying he's a pretty good hockey writer? If you can't spell the name of the greatest Bills player ever, you should expect some sarcasm. Welcome aboard.
