Drum Roll Please, Bills New QB for 2017 is:

[DrDawkinstein]

Why would he want to waste his time? LA uses 1st pick on Goff, who do you think they are going to play!

 

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17157259/los-angeles-rams-grant-nick-foles-request-release

 

Well, they started Keenum through 9 games this season and Goff still doesnt look ready, so it sounds like he chickened out of a competition he should have been able to win.

[USABuffaloFan]

Webb > Mahomes yet both might not be NFL ready in 2017.

That is why you get Foles, he is ready. Then you hope Jones or whoever comes out enough to be backup. I don't think Jones is that far off with a full of season ahead.

[quinnearlysghost88]

here's another exercise: if the playoffs started today, 10/12 of the teams have QBs that played their first snap with the team they're currently on. (miami being the odd season-ending injury exception). Even so, in the AFC, Miami could be supplanted by four other teams in the hunt who all have drafted QBs starting. Same on the other side, GB could be caught by two teams with drafted QBs starting, and another season-ending injury exception. my point is we need to draft, not pay money to a re-tread. give tyrod an incentive packed, team-friendly contract, draft a QB and go from there.

[K D]

Play Tyrod for the first half then bring in a closer that can actually pass when we need him if we get behind. If we are winning there isn't much better than someone like Tyrod who helps the run game and who doesn't turn the ball over. It's only when we are losing where he's a problem because he just can't pass the ball down the field. He's proven to be incapable of leading a 2 min drive with his arm and in games where it's a shootout we are going to lose every time because we can't score as fast as teams that air it out

[Mark80]

So, a guy that 3 other teams have already determined is not good enough to be a starter? Sounds like a brilliant idea.

[bisonbrigade]

Not a chance. Bills go 9-7 and sneak into the playoffs and Tyrod and Rex stay.

[IronyAbounds]

As an Arizona alum I like Nick Foles, but mobile he is not. Not sure he is the answer.

He got traded to LA and then thrown in a QB competition. Now their coach got fired. You must be a LA fan. That team is worse off then the Bills. Bills at least have skilled position players outside of a franchise QB (pocket passer).

No upside to Tyrod, he won't be able to throw to come back. He doesn't play well to top competition. You want to stay 8-8 forever?

Foles can do both, doesn't throw interceptions. Not a runner but is mobile.

So, a guy that 3 other teams have already determined is not good enough to be a starter? Sounds like a brilliant idea.

So McCoy got traded to Buffalo from the same coach that traded Foles away? What is your point. He left LA, didn't want to play there and Kansas has a really good QB in Alex Smith. Actually a really bad point being made here!!!!!!

Medical marijuana? I guess there is a chance you or I win the lottery too!

This is in Philly, He had McCoy and averaged 4yrds a carry himself. He is not a runner, but he is mobile.

I think he would be perfect, has mobility, young, big, throws long and isn't really damaged (wants to be a starter), has played in cold weather and knows McCoy!

 

Weird career thus far. Had that really good year in 2013 but hasn't been that electric before or since.

HB is a completely different thing than a QB and it was the first team Shady was on, not the third. Please name me a single NFL QB that found success with their 4th team after they were not able to hold on to or earn a starting spot with their 3 previous teams. Please, just one. I beg you.

Philly traded away Foles and McCoy, never really gave them a chance! Hopefully Buffalo gets smart and reunites them!

He was the starting QB in Philliy? He got traded for Bradford.

Sounds like a better idea than plucking a 6th round 4th year back up.

Rich Gannon comes to mind. There is probably more, not going to look them up though.

Brad and Rob Johnson won a Superbowl in Tampa bay. How about Dilfer!

Yeah, just found Matt Hasselbeck, Brett Favre and Neil ODonnell also. There is more but I got stuff to do.

 

Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer were only on 3 teams but fared pretty damn good.

I will buy off on Rich Gannon. Good call. Tremendous season with Oakland after being on 3 squads. However, Hasselbeck had his success on his second team and didn't do anything after that, Favre was retired before going to Min and having one great year, O'Donnell had zero success after leaving PIttsburgh his first team, Brad Johnson had no success after he left TB, his third team.
