I don’t get the obsession with adding a PS QB. If we are down to our 3rd QB then it doesn’t really matter who’s out there. We gon get our peckers smashed.

 

Just grabs vet off the streets in case of emergency 

Exactly my feelings. Any team in this league that’s on their 3rd team QB is toast anyway. Best just to get an Anderson type just to finish out the season.

This is mostly true -well, maybe not specifically peckers.., BUT, just last season, there was a QB who hadn’t played in years, signed on Monday, started on Sunday and delivered a very competent upset victory.. some So. Cal kid from years back..

Special teams ace LB Jared Norris 26yr old (who was waived by CAROLINA) would be an obvious signing by the Bills now that Deon Lacey is gone

Looking over this list I see a punter upgrade but feel confident in the remainder of the team. Feels good. I wonder if this is what it is like to be a Pat's fan?

I'll bet it's a lot better being a Pat's fan.

While that is true aren't you better with a 3rd guy who at least knows the playbook?

Is it really an obsession? Teams generally have players from many positions on the PS. It kinda makes sense.

If I understand the rules properly, wouldn't the Bills be able to sign Colquitt right now... without waiting for the noon waiver period deadline?  I think that he's got something like 10 years in the league.  It's the same reason that KC was able to sign McCoy yesterday.  Maybe they're trying for one of the younger options.  I read that Colquitt had a surgical procedure on his knee and subsequently missed Cleveland's mini camp last spring.  Based on his track record, I've got to believe that he'd be the guy they wanted if he was 100% healthy.

 Most teams carry a 3rd to run scout team with PS receivers. Try and replicate what ur seeing on film

Could we? How many teams do this anymore? Usually draft your QB in 1st round and go from there....

With only 2 QB's on the roster need an emergency QB on the PS to call up in case of Injuries and this kid  has looked good for 2 years.

What time will we find out if they claimed anyone?

 

Look up

 

Teams can make alterations to their rosters as early as Sunday, with the waiver wire being a popular source of roster moves for teams across the league.

Sure... but I think that everyone is missing the point.  You don't put a quarterback on the practice roster with a plan to have him play for you this year.  If injuries happen and you needed another QB on the active roster, you'd probably still sign someone from the street (like we did last year with both Barkley and Anderson). If you like a young prospect well enough, it just gives you the opportunity to work with the guy for the next 12 months... get him ready for training camp next year.  Mind you... to go to all that trouble, you'd have to really see something special in that young quarterback... like Gruden sees in Peterman.

I am not missing the point. I just think why would you say "oh well we can have any old guy on the Practice Squad" when you could say "who are the best PS eligible guys out there?"

5 years after the fact we ended up with the best QB from that draft.

At least the smartest...got out of the game first

Yes.  The Bills may have a bid in on a waived punter that they would have to sign, so we just got to wait and see.

Agree!  The only way a guy like Jackson (or whatever QB may be on the PS)  would play on Sunday is if on a road game Allen fell down the stairs getting off the plane and landed on Barkley and they are now both out 24 hours before the game.  Or even if one were hurt, he'd get promoted to active 53 and be the backup for Sunday, but on Monday, they'd be looking to sign a new experienced guy and would then cut Jackson (or other) and maybe hope they can re-sign him to PS again.

 

On another note, I don't believe and undrafted rookies made the roster this season correct?

The only QB that matters is Allen. If he doesn’t work out then we’ll be starting over. Having a QB on the PS is pointless to me. We pulled Barkley off the streets last year and he played well with little preparation. If I’m down to my 3rd QB to start a game then I’d rather go with a vet who just signed a week ago.

I don’t think it matters. The game plan is likely going to be real limited regardless of having a developmental QB from the practice squad or a vet signed a week ago.

Well, there are 10 slots. Teams typically carry a couple linemen from each side and a WR or two.  That leaves 4 openings, so not many positions.
