John from Riverside Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Whether they sign this guy or not......I have a feeling nobody is going to like the end answer this year...... Because there isnt one...were are going to have to make the best of a bad situation. People are going to be upset they cant have what doesnt exist

Because there isnt one...were are going to have to make the best of a bad situation. People are going to be upset they cant have what doesnt exist Exactly. I think some people have legitimately talked themselves into guys like Brees or Big Ben being available for a future draft pick or into Peyton hitting FA. There's also a pretty vocal amount of people who'll complain about every move but never submit their own potential answer.

There seems to be this dream that Brees, Manning or Mariota are going to land in the Bills lap for nothing.

bisonbrigade Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Would rather trade a 5th rounder for Kurt Cousins myself. Not that Kurt is Jim Kelly but he is better than Joshing McClown.

billsfan89 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 If they sign McCown its a sign they are all in on EJ. McCown is a solid veteran backup but by no means should really be a starting option. I would like to bring in a better QB like Sanchez or Locker one that could actually improve over EJ as opposed to just being an option if EJ fails.
YoloinOhio Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 @Schottey: Source tells me Josh McCown isnt ruling out Buffalo (or vice versa) but hes in fact finding mode as only/top QB on the market right now

I would like to bring in a better QB like Sanchez or Locker one that could actually improve over EJ as opposed to just being an option if EJ fails. I dont mean to pick on your personally, but I find it laughable that anyone would draw this conclusion, as if Sanchez or Locker are definitely any better than McCown, or even better than EJ. Go look at Locker's career numbers and compare them to EJ. Locker has about twice as many starts, and his averages just about match EJ's dead on. http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13969/jake-locker http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/15803/ej-manuel My point is, none of the QBs they bring in or ultimately sign indicate ANYTHING with regards to their stance on EJ.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I somehow totally missed this story-- both the build up and the let down. Is there a way to do a reverse F5?
Uffalo Ills Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 At Update: He's kinda Orton 2.0, he's 35!!!. I hope we're making him an offer in the $1mil for a year type offer. Hope we're bringing him on as a backup at most...
DallasBillsFan1 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 McCown is gone. No offer. Next. Sadly, I think John From Hemet is right (see earlier post). The Bills should draft someone in 3-4th round and keep fingers crossed.
YoloinOhio Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) McCown is gone. No offer. Next. Sadly, I think John From Hemet is right (see earlier post). The Bills should draft someone in 3-4th round and keep fingers crossed. One draft guru tweeted that McCown is a better option than any QB post rd 1 in this draft. It is a very poor QB draft on terms of having someone who could step in and play a game with success. Also, they could likely add more than 1. They could add up to 3. I.e. McCown, FA, rookie. The rookie would need to beat out Tuel for the PS spot. That said, he can still sign here. He's still on his visits and has said he won't be signing anywhere for about a week. No rush.

Bangarang Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 @Schottey: Source tells me Josh McCown isnt ruling out Buffalo (or vice versa) but hes in fact finding mode as only/top QB on the market right now Enjoy it now McCown because once free agency starts you'll no longer be the prettiest girl at the dance.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Enjoy it now McCown because once free agency starts you'll no longer be the prettiest girl at the dance. Who is that much prettier?
Bangarang Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Who is that much prettier? They're all scrubs. Just saying that there will be other options on par with McCown and he won't be the only option available.
Big Turk Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I would rather sign (in this order): Mallett, Hoyer, Locker, Sanchez, Matt Moore before considering McCown. I'd also be OK signing McCown and one of the other guys mentioned to compete for the starting job with EJ. Best Two of the Three remain on the opening day roster along with a rookie. Hoyer is a hot disaster after 4 or 5 weeks and the defenses catch up to him...did you not see what he looked like the last 4 or 5 games he played in, including ours?

Granted, we have the best pass rush in the NFL. We made Peyton and Aaron look like absolute scrubs
