He's big, can run, don't know about catching and blocking but it worked for Logan Thomas, one thing is for sure, he's not a QB

Is there more than one Logan Thomas?  I would not call the first Logan a success.  He hung around for a few years but not a star TE.

Probably better than Cousins

This is why preseason sucks.  I watched the guy for 3 years at UB.  Legit has all the physical nfl talent in the world.  But because he is struggling to transition to the nfl which getting less than 1/3 of the snaps, he sucks and has no future.

 

he is the definition of a developmental qb.  But let’s give him for Alex Tanney who has no good nfl skills. 

I mean yeah his physical gifts are off the charts but I did foresee this and got called out 10 million times when I said he wasn't draftable

 

Physically he has everything you want but is lacking in almost all other departments

 

I want him to succeed but this doesn't surprise me

Minnesota will be playing preseason hero QB Kyle Sloter-- good betting opportunity

I've been impressed with sloter for the last two preseasons... I might put about 300 on Minnesota. Im seriously debating it.

I agree 100%.  I don't understand the hatred for this guy, who obviously has a number of NFL-caliber tools and was a productive college QB.  As you point out, he gets few snaps in practice and he's thrown out there with third stringers.  Not saying he's played great, but for FFS, there's no reason to write the guy off forever.

I plan to watch the dawning of the Matt Myers Era over at UB Stadium Thursday against a tomato can called Robert Morris. (I guess Villa Maria was busy.) It's on ESPN+ Thursday. I'll watch the Bills on replay after.

I'll be there and don't kick RM

 

It wasn't but a while ago that UB lost to Albany

He was super productive his last year

 

His RS SO year he was outplayed by UBs backup. He is physically super gifted but has alot of mental lapses

Understood.  Bottom line is, I'd rather give a practice squad spot to a guy like Jackson who has NFL-caliber tools than a more polished guy like Jeff Tuel, who might be more game-ready, but has a very low ceiling.

He definitely deserves a year on the PS because with his size and athletic ability you never know

 

He was great for the program and the first day he stepped on campus I circled 2018 as MAC champions

 

unfortunately that fell short but he did take big strides from year 3-4 which did out him on the map

Sloter looked great against Seattle last week. I'm assuming he's playing btw. I have some down on Minnesota money line but thought about giving the 3 points. Tyree looks bad to me, not even close to being worth a team investing a practice squad spot in IMO. He may need to go to CFL/AFL/XFL and work.

Let him play the whole game, it just may be the last time he sees an NFL field, I see nothing that suggests he has what it takes to be a QB in the NFL, maybe a move to TE would be a good move for him.

 

Hey he is an undrafted free agent... They take time to develop. Of course he was gonna struggle... It's be foolish to think he wouldn't. 

 

And a switch to TE would take his best football trait away... Arm strength.

[MJS]

This game will be hard to watch. Hopefully the plan is to hand it off to Christian Wade 45 times. I could watch that.

Tyree got very few reps in training camp...then gets put on the field with very subpar talent around him who also got very few reps in TC. But yeah let's not consider that and rag on him for not looking like an NFL QB. 

Come on, it doesn't matter what talent he has around him. If you watch him you see terrible decision making, no accuracy, and a propensity to tuck it and run it instead of scanning the field and making throws.

 

Josh Allen last year, on the other hand, truly was hurt by a lack of talent around him, specifically oline talent. He made tough throws into tight windows, made good decisions often (obviously not always), and showed that he could stick in the pocket and go through progressions. Allen had flaws, but he showed a ton of ability and Nobody would be ragging on Jackson if he showed even a little ability to be an NFL QB. He just hasn't.

I say play a drinking game. Take a swig whenever Tyree makes a terrible throw. 

 

Ill be pinned by half time i think hopefully and be able to watch the rest of the game. 

 

I'll be there to watch Tyree's last throws in the NFL. I will not be playing a drinking game at the stadium. Between Tyree's bad throws and beer prices, it would cost me in the thousands of dollars.

[DefenseWins]

I'd rest ALL the starters for this game. No need to chance injury on a truly meaningless game like this. Barkley should be rested as well. Give Tyree the whole game so we can see his progress. 

[ALF]

Good game to run the ball. When the box is loaded someone will be open. 

[Doc Brown]

At this point I'm assuming their mind is pretty much made up of who's making the final 53.  My main focus may be on the punter.  Should be a fun night.

Because some fans thought they got a steal when we signed him as an undrafted free agent and were even predicting he beats Barkley out for the backup role.  People hate being wrong.

Welp. 3-1

3-1 is still pretty good.

I hope he does really well. Good luck my friend

[YoloinOhio]

I’ve seen much worse preseason performances by Bills QBs.
