BillsNYC Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Since Kordell is a FA and visited last spring, why not sign him? 1) He'd come cheap 2) He knows the Mularkey system 3) His pro-bowl days were under Mularkey 4) He and JP are similar players 5) He has starting experience 6) He's only 32/33 years old 7) If JP goes down he can come in and run the exact same offence, probably better than Sean Matthews And my final reason, he was quite successful as Slash. Mularkey LOVES trick plays, Imagine what he could do with Stewart and Losman on the field at the same time? Add in McGahee, Evans, and Moulds... Now THAT is a high powered offense!

ch19079 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 i would take him as a backup QB. really i would. but if losman is hurt.... there is no way in hell Stewart will win a game for us. hes one of those backup QBs who is good for a few plays or finishing a game, but not start for 1 game, or 2 or 3.....

stevestojan Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 To everyone saying this is a bad idea, remember we are looking for a BACKUP. We're not gonna get the second coming of Dan Marino. There are slim pickins for a QB who has NFL experience, who has at least started before, who will assume the backup role with no issues, and who isn't gonna cost us more than we should pay for a backup. Who else fits these criteria? Jeff Garcia isn't a huge step up from KS, but would certainly cost us quite a bit more. We are only looking for a guy who can come in should JP get hurt and be out for a series of games - we're not looking for a franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I read that Feidler was cut yesterday. Don't know if he's been discussed in another thread, though. He certainly had a rough '04 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary owen Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 what kind of $ would it take for us to get Fiedler? the only reason I would really want him over most is that he has more experience playing in our division. I want us to reverse the tables on NE sooner than later, and you've got to admit, he is familiar with their D as well as NY's. I think he could help JP from that standpoint. His brains and JP's physical abilities, I think it's a good head start for our new signal caller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Kordell is a decent option as a #2. In fact, I'd rather have him than Shane Matthews. The problem is, it's way too easy for posters to respond to this thread with nothing more than...... STEWART SUCKS! or I DON"T WANT THAT HOMO ON THE BILLS! We're talking about a #2 QB, not our QB of the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see some respect for your opponents. I'll always respect Kelly, that's for sure. And I loved the way both of them were great friends, regardless of what happened on the gridiron.

BRH Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 what kind of $ would it take for us to get Fiedler? 251172[/snapback] A few dollars over the league minimum. If he wants more, let the Jets deal with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Among the bad coices out there as #2, Kordell looks like one of the better ones to me. Steve matthews? Oh please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
