MattyT Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Bills | Miller Could be Option as Backup QB - from www.KFFL.com Thu, 17 Feb 2005 09:25:18 -0800 Mark Gaughan, of the Buffalo News, reports the Buffalo Bills intend to have a veteran backup quarterback behind projected starter QB J.P. Losman next season and their first preference would be to re-sign QB Shane Matthews, who served that role last year. If Matthews decides to retire or signs elsewhere, the Bills could consider veteran QB Jim Miller (Patriots) during the offseason. Anybody know how reliable this Gaughan guy is?

I have a feeling his "inside contacts" with nthe Bills don't go very deep.

CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Are you mixing him up with his brother Bob Gaughan who was recently let go by WGR?? 243712[/snapback] Maybe I am mistaken. I could have sworn years ago Mark was the beat reporter for WGR then moved on to the Snooze.
MattyT Posted February 17, 2005 Author Posted February 17, 2005 What does "B'up" mean? 243725[/snapback] Hehe...its an abbreviation that I commonly use for backup. Now that I am thinking about it I'm wondering if I made it up or if I've seen it elsewhere. Not sure. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry for the confusion. 243758[/snapback] Heh...when I worked in automotive, we had a zillion of them. To an outsider, we might have sounded like vacationers from Jupiter.
duey Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 If Matthews decides to retire or signs elsewhere, the Bills could consider veteran QB Jim Miller (Patriots) during the offseason. 243660[/snapback] Jeez...that's a real gem. I think the Bills COULD consider just about anyone they wanted.
MattyT Posted February 17, 2005 Author Posted February 17, 2005 Jeez...that's a real gem. I think the Bills COULD consider just about anyone they wanted. 243808[/snapback] Exactly. That's why I was wondering if this writer was a particularly good source, or if they're just flinging crap at a wall to see if something sticks.
William The Conqueror Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Considering how much of a recluse and tight with information that Tom Donahoe is, I'm sure this info has to be true.
RJsackedagain Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Exactly. That's why I was wondering if this writer was a particularly good source, or if they're just flinging crap at a wall to see if something sticks. 243851[/snapback] Mark must have read it on someone else's website and decided to pass it along to the readers. He's not real bright and usually asks a lot of dumb questions that piss off the rest of the media at press conferences.
