Rubes Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Still wondering who will be backing up TT. Decent chance he'll be called upon to win us a couple of games, so we need someone who isn't a raw talent. Who do we end up with as the (presumably) veteran backup?
Doc Brown Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Case Keenum would be my best guess if we don't draft a rookie QB early in the draft. Cardale Jones and him would fight for the backup spot. Colin Kaepernick is a long shot, but not completely out of the question.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Woodrum, obviously. But actually, Jones. If the price was right, would fans be against Fitzpatrick? Seems a top-end QB2 to me. Similarly am in favor of Keenum. Edited March 22, 2017 by JohnBonhamRocks
LABILLBACKER Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 It's going to come down to Kaeper nick, Keenum, Fitzy or whoever we draft Mahomes/ Peterman/ Kelly...I just don't know if Cardale even makes the team?

A rookie is the only backup the Bills should have. You DO NOT get a "veteran" backup when you don't even have a franchise QB.I don't understand why people still don't get it...

BillsFan17 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Cardale Jones. The same way Whaley pushed Manuel, is the same way I think he'll push Cardale. I loved the pick when it came down. I think he has a lot of potential. That being said, if Whaley doesn't draft a QB I think it will be a big endorsement of Cardale.
ALF Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I would draft Chad Kelly in a later round and let him battle with C Jones for backup. I agree If Logan Thomas stays on the roster , he can QB temp. also Edited March 22, 2017 by ALF
Chandler#81 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Good question, Rubes. I don't like the suggestions that a rookie vie with Cardale. Too much 'green'. I'd guess a semi-competent vet. A 'Gary Marangi' type. TBD.
Elite Poster Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 The answer is obvious for 200 Alex. Who is, Cardale.
flomoe Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Tyrod I doubt it but if they draft a QB early, it's possible that he shows better in camp and could be better than TT in preseason and could win the job. Nobody on this coaching staff is tied to TT and if they feel they could win with somebody other than him, they aren't obligated to "give" him the job.
4merper4mer Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Chad Kelly OMG you are worse at picking QBs than Wesley Snipes is at filling out a 1040.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) There's still plenty of pieces to possibly fall between possible pickups, cuts, and the draft. I'd expect targets to be players who've been with Dennison before (Brock, Siemian/Lynch), or a rook Edited March 22, 2017 by BuffaloHokie13
CommonCents Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I'm sold that they are picking Watson if he is available. I said all along Rex and TT took the heat for last seasons failure and the benching/bridge contract are a sign of an organization that doesn't believe in their QB. Watson is everything EJ wasn't, his team won because of him, EJ's lost because of him. Mahomes seems to be a little less polished coming out. Kizer represents too much of what failed with Manuel (perfect QB body without the results). The more I think about it the more I think it's Watson, I don't love it but I will remain hopeful if it happens. The bridge needs to lead somewhere and this is my best guess.
