YoloinOhio Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 @spotrac: ICYMI: The #Bills, #Browns, #Eagles, #Jets, & #Texans all have QB battles heading into camp. We assess the numbers: http://t.co/fbMDYt9QCf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sounds like the most likely scenario is that Cassel gets cut, or EJ is traded (if there's a market)... at least from a financial perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hopefully, they can cut Cassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Even though I really want EJ or Taylor to win the job, I still would want Cassel around as mentor. Those guys are pretty young and Taylor has virtually no starting experience. People can say it's overrated but I really think having a veteran qb who have helped EJ a lot. I don't think Orton or Kolb were great mentors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 I don't see any way EJ gets cut based on this, unless he gets in trouble off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 well, unless cassell wins the job outright (by skill, or by default) Meh will not win the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Meh will not win the job. I cant believe that stuck!!! I love it!!! CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 well, unless cassell wins the job outright (by skill, or by default) I'm kind of assuming the three of them will be "close enough", that they'll go with the two younger guys, so they can use Cassel's funds to help towards extending some key pieces on our team. But, I do like the idea of having a vet mentor.... so hell if I know Preseason should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Orton or Kolb were great mentors. why isn't Taylor, with 5 years sitting behind a QB that took his team to the playoffs every year and a Superbowl, considered a veteran?....I'm not saying Taylor will/should win starting spot, but he watched and learned from a franchise QB with playoff and superbowl exp....just wondering why Cassels a better vet just cuz he has more years....

BarleyNY Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sounds like the most likely scenario is that Cassel gets cut, or EJ is traded (if there's a market)... at least from a financial perspective. If they want to trade EJ look for him to be put in position to look good in preseason. My ears will pick up if I see the coaches do some real game planning for the other team when he's in there or if they put him out there with the rest of the Bills 1s going against 2s.

Maddog69 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I fully expect all 3 on the opening day roster and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Kolb spent about a month together.... He was being paid whole season, if he could not perform on field he still had obligations to team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Why is Cassel a great mentor? Ask Aaron Rodgers about mentors... Seems like a good guy and he knows he's not a star. It's a value he has to provide. And regardless if Farve was a good mentor, Rodgers still got to sit behind a HOF and break down film with him. He also didn't get forced out there too quick and have irrational fans wanting if cut at his first signs of struggles. EJ stated he learned a lot from Orton on preparation; nothing like that was said about Kolb.Hopefully he did. Personally I think having a vet helps every young qb. The Colts got Hasselback for Luck. why isn't Taylor, with 5 years sitting behind a QB that took his team to the playoffs every year and a Superbowl, considered a veteran?....I'm not saying Taylor will/should win starting spot, but he watched and learned from a franchise QB with playoff and superbowl exp....just wondering why Cassels a better vet just cuz he has more years.... Taylor has never really played in meaningful games. We don't know how he breaks down film and he doesn't have game experience to assist with preparation. I like having a vet with game experience but I'll shed no tears if they cut Cassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
