Who will the Bills bring in at QB?

[YoloinOhio]

Rex Ryan seemed very non-committal to EJ in his press conference today. It feels like there is a plan in motion to bring a new QB to Buffalo. Who do you think it will be?

This offense isn't going to be pass-heavy, so we don't need a Manning, Cutler, or Bradford.

I disagree with this. We most likely will not be pass heavy, however a QB who can throw, run, manage the team and protect the ball is what is needed. Whoever it is.

 

I have a pipe dream about Rivers.

I heard Cutler is very high on the "to do" list. He would not be my choice though.

I am glad your name is not Leroi or Nevergiveup

[CountDorkula]

CUTLER

[Beerball]

Definitely a rookie plus at least one of those listed. I'd prefer Bradford or Kaepernick if either becomes available.

First off good poll...Second off, this "Rex was non committal" about the QB position in the press conference is getting SOOOOOOOO over blown its ridiculous. What does anyone expect a brand new HC, his 2nd day on the job, is going to say about the position in which only the former backup QB remains who is a young and unproven commodity?

 

1. Whaley has said publicly that we WILL bring in competition and that they still believe in EJ.

2. Case closed, what else is there to say? Seriously?

3. Rex has not had a chance to spend any time with EJ, evaluate the QB's in the draft (as we don't even know them all yet), evaluate available FA QB's, evaluate any available by trade and what they will cost, etc etc. How can ANYONE be committal about this or any position right now? Players earn their spot and he hasn't had a chance to work with anyone yet.

 

So, that being said, its a good poll because we KNOW at least 1 QB will be added to compete. But this stuff about how non committal Rex was all over the shout box and threads is stupid. Of course he is, he doesn't even know who the back up QB will be because we only have ONE QB right now and a PS QB in Tuel. I love how people want to make a big deal about him being no committal over a position he doesn't even know who the players will be yet as we don't have enough on the roster yet.

 

My answer to the poll though is either Matt Moore or Bradford.

I think it is impossible for any of us to have a clue as to what they will do in terms what new specific QB will be brought in.

 

HOWEVER....I think it is very obvious EJ ain't gonna be the guy, which makes me happy.

Great. The top teams in the NFL are rather pass-heavy, aren't they?

 

Who watched NE vs. Baltimore? This league is entirely about who can out-gun and out-score the other guy with a really strong passing attack and lots of points.

 

"Ground and Pound" is backward, and Rex just said this is his plan. I'm not 100% sure that's a great idea.

 

He seemed to ground this thinking in bad weather/snow in Buffalo. I think that is bad thinking.

[Cash]

I voted for Bradford, but that's a total wild guess. I will go on record as saying that we won't bring in Sanchez.

I took it not so much that he was non committal to EJ (though he was), but more that he knew a move at the position was already in the works. Like he, Doug, Terry, Kim and Russ already had their guy picked out and the wheels were in motion. I say that because it looked more to me like Rex was trying not to let the cat out of the bag more than being non committal to EJ.

 

Of course, that's pure speculation based on the rumors from Leroi and his general attitude during those questions.

[Utah John]

You know, stopthepain, I'm really not sure that EJ ain't gonna be the guy. Or at least the Bills might try again to see if he can be the guy. I think he's had lousy coaching and played behind a lousy O line, and had a couple of knee injuries his rookie year which may have affected his thinking. What can a good coach do to help him? Probably a lot. I am not an EJ lover or convinced he's the guy, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills give him another big chance.

 

Of course there will be at least one additional QB brought in. Even if EJ wins the starting job, Tuel is not the answer as the backup.

I like ground and pound with this D until we find our QB answer...don't think he is on the roster, and don't think he is on that list...starting to think it will be a while before we see a Kelly or Fergy again for that matter...

I see it a little differently. The Pats* likely passed most of that game because the Ravens were very thin in the secondary. It was the right game plan. When they played the Colts earlier in the season they ran the ball 38 times to 25 passes and went completely ground and pound to attack the Colts poor run D. "Ground and pound" IMO means you show the other team you can and will run the ball and that will open up the passing game. Not every team has the QB to come in and throw with immediate success regardless of whether they have shown they can run.

Surprised so many folks are thinking Sanchize... He's not coming.

Brian Hoyer is my choice...he has starting experience and still hasn't reached his ceiling, IMO.

 

I really feel that he would fit a power running playaction type of offense that Greg Roman will employ. Of course, he isn't great but he will hit the TE in the seam and get the ball to the WR for the 50-50 balls.

 

I do believe that they will also draft a QB in rd 5...I like Mannion (Oregon St).

Yes and I am dying to know who it is!

I wish I shared this optimism but I think we already saw his ceiling. He's a good guy though and I hope he does well outside of Cleveland, it is not good for him to stay there.

Nice poll YOLO, I've been waiting for this. It sounds to me like they have their targets. If they want to run a ball control offense I would think that Cutler & Sanchez would be pretty low on the list. Maybe it is Foles, Bradford or Kaepernick? I don't see Kaep being available but could be wrong. It kind of sounds like an Alex Smith type would be his dream scenario. Clearly, they have a plan that has been discussed.

 

Edit: Can we add Eli to the poll? I don't think that he is the most likely but I could see the Giants entering a rebuilding phase.

Bradford. He's still the guy I'm hoping for depending on the deal.
