hondo in seattle Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 I didn't read through all of the responses but what confuses me is the timing. If all you get in return is a late round Conditional pick then why not wait until later in preseason when you'll have a better read on Peterman and when you can bet there'll be a few teams in desperation mode due to their own problems? The new coaches probably saw enough of Cardale to realize he wasn't going to earn a roster slot. And trading him now makes sense if we're going to lose him anyway. It was unlikely we'd get better than a conditional 7th even if we waited. And later on, better QBs than Cardale might become available as teams trim down their rosters.

It plays back into why he cried tears of joy when he heard the news and sent out the classy goodbye tweet that he did. This staff didn't select him and wasn't interested in him. They sent him to a team that was interested in him and his development before camps got started. Really, it worked out well for all involved parties imo.

It had been in the works. Edited July 27, 2017 by YoloinOhio

Then again I probably have a bit of PTSD from Whaley trading away our draft picks, so I am happy to stockpile even late rounders.
#34fan Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 I don't think they'll have to worry. That's what you say now...
SoCal Deek Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 It still seems to me that you keep your cards (and Cardales) in your hand. Injuries happen all the time and they didn't replace with him a player. I virtually guarantee you that somebody is going to need a QB and will have some Safety depth to trade for him. The other team doesn't have to know that you didn't plan to keep him!
buffaloboyinATL Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 So is this "Cardale cried tears of joy" thing real or fake news?i don't doubt it. He is going to play for the head coach that gave him his first NFL start and clearly believes in his abilities. Here, unfortunately, he was an unproven commodity and was buried on the depth chart and likely the odd man out. Had to be a relief.
#34fan Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 The new coaches probably saw enough of Cardale to realize he wasn't going to earn a roster slot. In fairness, there a re far bigger roster sluts... Josh McCown.... Charlie Whitehurst...
26CornerBlitz Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 i don't doubt it. He is going to play for the head coach that gave him his first NFL start and clearly believes in his abilities. Here, unfortunately, he was an unproven commodity and was buried on the depth chart and likely the odd man out. Had to be a relief. He hasn't had an NFL start yet with his only action being in week 17 in relief of EJ after he stunk up the joint against the NYJ.
YoloinOhio Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 @chrisbrownbills McDermott: Trade of Cardale done to facilitate reps for 3 QBs still on roster & give Jones a chance to work w/coach he knows in LA. #Bills
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 ....still have to wish the kid well in chasing his NFL dream.....only 1,696 get the chance annually..........
YoloinOhio Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 @mikerodak Bills GM Brandon Beane said Thursday that Buffalo would have been doing Cardale Jones a disservice if he remained on Bills' roster. Jones was traded Wednesday to the Chargers. Beane noted that it is difficult to give four quarterbacks reps with modern, one-a-day training camp rules. Beane added Bills will stick with three quarterbacks for foreseeable future. @jonahjavad In case it crossed your mind: #Bills GM Brandon Beane has no plan to bring Kaepernick in for a workout. #BillsCamp @WGRZ @joebuscaglia #Bills GM Brandon Beane says they'll be going with the current three quarterbacks as it stands today.
BADOLBILZ Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 @joebuscaglia #Bills GM Brandon Beane says they'll be going with the current three quarterbacks as it stands today. God forbid TJ Yates ever sees the field in a regular season game. If Kelly Holcomb sucked twice as bad......he'd be TJ Yates........and that Holcomb/Mularkey season was arguably the sloppiest, most unwatchable, uninspired football in the drought. Send in McCowns! Annnnyyyyyyy McCowns!
GunnerBill Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Not sure if Chris Brown was talking intentionally in the way he was but he insinuated, maybe by accident, that the Bills saw the Chargers working out QBs (RGIII) and rang them and offered Cardale.
Beast Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 This guy caught lightning in a bottle. NCAA championship QB's don't lose their job unless it is to a complete stud. Cardale was a has been when Whaley drafted him.
artmalibu Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 He was an interesting prospect and he didnt impress, on to the next. When his work ethic snd commitment were uncertain getting a 7th back isnt the worse thing.
Straight Hucklebuck Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 I don't like this trade. There was no reason to do this if all you were going to get was a lousy conditional 7th.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I don't like this trade. There was no reason to do this if all you were going to get was a lousy conditional 7th. No reps for him in camp. Only an injury would have kept him on the roster. They got something for a player they were cutting. Edited July 27, 2017 by TheTruthHurts
JMF2006 Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Wow 17 pages for a guy who would have went in the 7th or undrafted if Whaley hadn't reached in the 4th.
