C.Biscuit97 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Panthers just released Joe Webb, who also plays special teams. Beane and McDermott love Joe Webb.....watch out for this one and Yates to be gone. Great call and he would be a great pickup. He is a good STer and a better qb than Yates.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Great call and he would be a great pickup. He is a good STer and a better qb than Yates. ...so you'd sign Webb, release Yates and gamble with Peterman clearing waivers for PS?.....what's your strategy bud to protect Peterman?.....
JoeF Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 ...so you'd sign Webb, release Yates and gamble with Peterman clearing waivers for PS?.....what's your strategy bud to protect Peterman?..... Peterman makes the 53 with ease over Yates. He may be the starting QB week 1 and then beyond. I think the decision is whether the Bills will keep 3 QBs. If the Bills want a 3rd QB who can do other things, they may go for Webb over Yates..
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 So looks like Yates is on the 53. A wasted roster spot imo

Huh? I'm cut Yates, keep Peterman as a backup, & Webb could fill multiple positions. So looks like Yates is on the 53. A wasted roster spot imo HE KNOWS THE OFFENSE AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE COACHES!!!
GunnerBill Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I have felt all pre-season and off-season workouts that Dennison would want TJ Yates on this roster. Not at all surprised that he makes it.

Not at all surprised that he makes it. Why??? Seriously, they could get a qb from UB and I won't notice a difference over Yates. They are treating this guy like an upper tier backup instead of a guy who could be out of the league.

I explained it to Kirby a few weeks back... coaches have scheme arrogance. They think "my scheme is so good if I can just get someone to run it then we will succeed." So they value that scheme know how even if the guy can't in reality make the throws.

reddogblitz Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I predict that if Hotrod goes down, Yates will be next man up.
NoSaint Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 You look for upside, if possible. Like, what if the Lions cut Jake Rudock? Grab him over Yates, IMO. There's really no reason for a vet journeyman at 3rd string. That's a spot for a developmental guy. What do you really think Jake ruduck is going to become that Yates isn't?? We already have the developmental guy- it's either plug in a vet or just carry two and put an emergency guy on the PS
reddogblitz Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Keeping Yates probably means he's 2nd string. Why keep him otherwise?
HT02 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 I predict that if Hotrod goes down, Yates will be next man up. I hope you're wrong about that; Yates is awful and shouldn't even be in the league at this point. He clearly doesn't even have the tools to be a back-up QB.
HT02 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Posted September 7, 2017 I am happy that the Bills decided to move on from Yates but I still would like to see them sign a QB to the practice squad. Webb really isn't a QB and I would like to have them at least taking a shot in the dark with another young guy with some upside.
