BringBackOrton Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) How much did we give Orton? $5.5M AAV, 2 year deal. Edited October 15, 2017 by jmc12290
Scott7975 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I hear that, I just don't think its realistic to lump Teddy in with those guys. I think Bridgewater will get more money on the market than say EJ Manuel. Tough to say. If he didn't get that injury, I would definitely agree. Some team may take a shot at him. I don't think at the 12 you posted though and I know you were just throwing a number out there. I think he is worth a look at maybe a one year 5 mil deal. Maybe with a few mil more in incentives or something. I would still draft someone on top of that because I don't think he proved a lot even before injury.

The QB market has exploded for potential starters. I would jump at 1 yr $5M. And always draft a QB.
Doc Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I mean a veteran FA. Most QB's either get a couple million or don't get signed. If offered even a minimum deal, TB would sign. And I doubt any team will give him much with his play prior to being injured and the injury he suffered. Maybe a deal with incentives to push it into $5M+ range, but no guarantees.
Billshank Redemption Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Lots of speculation if Teddy will be back or Bradford will be the guy going forward. Bridgewater had his career derailed by that gruesome knee injury but may very well be available. Should the Bills look into the third year player? He's still got a ton of potential, moves very well, may be the perfect fit in Dennison's horizontal offense. Arm strength with Teddy is questionable, but I think he has an adequate arm. Would you go after him? Would you give him $12M per in the offseason? (Throwing that estimate out there.) no

A team gave Glennon $45M. I think you're underestimating the desperation out there.
BringBackOrton Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Please explain? A joking reference to the ridiculous thread(s?) about black QB's.
/dev/null Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 We wouldn't be having this conversation if they had just gone ahead and drafted Deshaun Watson But that would have been silly

Mark80 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I think a lot of posters are understating how he was playing pre-injury. By many accounts he was DEVELOPING into a franchise QB. The Vikings were very happy with his progress. He wasn't there quite yet, but they and many around the league thought he was not that far off. There was a lot of excitement in Minn. However, that injury was bad, like almost had to have his leg amputated bad. You can't give a guy coming off something like that $12M without showing something first. We also have to come to the realization that there is a very good chance we are not going to be able to get one of the top 3 or 4 QBs in the draft. With our pick being worse than most expected and KCs as well, it's probably going to take a lot more than just those 2 1st to get up high enough, and how much are we willing to give up? Another 1st next year? 2 more 2nds? We may be stuck seeing what we have in Peterman and a 2nd tier guy in this years draft, bringing in Teddy for cheap on a year deal may be worth a shot.
GunnerBill Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 He was a pocket passer. Bridgewater and RG have one thing in common and it isn't their mobility. With that being said I don't think he makes much/any sense for the Bills. Agree 100%. Bridgewater was not a running Quarterback.... did he have a bit of mobility to grt outside the pocket? Sure. But people thinking his passing ability was aided by a threat to run are way off the mark. Andrew Luck runs more than Bridgewater and he is never compared to RGIII in style is he?
Dr. Fong Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I hope he recovers, but everything I've heard indicates that Bridgewater may never play again. If he can get back on the field who knows what impact an injury like this will have on him.
Doc Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 A team gave Glennon $45M. I think you're underestimating the desperation out there. Glennon was healthy. Unless TB can come back during this season and play well, no team is going to bank on him being their starter or even backup QB.
reddogblitz Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 At this point Id rather take our chances on a rookie. I really wanted us to draft him but Whaley was hell bent on hitching his wagon to a total scrub in EJ. Is that why he went out and signed Kyle Orton?
