Doc Brown Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 10 hours ago, Captain Hindsight said: I have heard exactly nothing regarding Tannehill. This isn’t madden, if he doesn’t want to play… Here's what he said on a podcast in late July. Odds are we're not his ideal landing place. "Right now, I think it's going to depend on situation," Tannehill said. "At this point, I've been blessed to play 12 years and be where I'm at, so I'm not just going to continue to add years to add years. I want to be in a situation that I feel really good about. I'm not ruling anything out, but it's going to have to be the right situation for me and my family." "Nothing really felt right through free agency," Tannehill added. "And through that, I had a lot of peace with it, that nothing outstanding jumped up and I just said, hey, I'll take a step back and if something comes up down the road, whether that's training camp — maybe a guy goes down on a team and gives me a call, you never know what's going to happen." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayjent Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I understand the Bills bringing in backups that help Josh, but those are quasi coaches and we need backups that can functionally contribute to winning when they are on the field. So in that regard I’ve never understood why the Bills don’t have a backup QB that has attributes that match Allen’s in some areas, especially mobility. The running threat from the QB position is what can keep the Bills dangerous even if Josh were to miss time. But when you see these backups the Bills offense is a totally different animal with limited athleticism and much smaller stature, and I’ve never understood that philosophy. I know that there aren’t a ton of options, but it was why Milton was an interesting prospect in this past draft to groom as a capable backup with similar traits. I get why people mention Tannehill bc he fits that mold. I’d even have been happy for Tyrod to come back, due to his ability to make plays in the run game, decent pocket presence and he protects the football. I know he’s a Jet. Zappe, Heinecke or Huntley may become available and all would be better than what we have. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is clearly better than any other QB option at this point. nah, Beane's perhaps just waiting for the big cutdown to occur next week. there will be QBs all over the place available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 13 hours ago, Sierra Foothills said: If we bring in a QB is should be a PROVEN backup, not someone who has never experienced any success in the NFL. What would be negligent is if Beane has not spoken with his agent and asked: 1) How much does Ryan want? 2) What sort of role is he interested in? I'm pretty sure that conversation has taken place. I'm pretty sure Beane can't put a gun to Tannehill's head and force him to come in for a... tryout. Thank you for a good post that adds value. I'll give you that he has a higher ceiling than Trubisky. Saying he would be a major upgrade is pure speculation. There's no real basis for this claim, is there? It's not black and white. The grey is if Josh misses 4 games and what the teams record is after those 4 games and what impact that has in the standings and playoff seeding. 0-4.

Not at the table Karlos Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 15 hours ago, Zerovoltz said: Dallas gave up a 4 for Lance....he is THE hedge against DAK negotiations going south. They aren't trading their only leverage for a 4th. It would need to be something much more substantial..if they'd even move him. He very well may be the Cowboys starter next year. You guys won't like the idea, but maybe give the Giants a call and see if Drew Lock might be had cheap. They are going to force Danile Jones out there and they have DeVito who is a popular guy in that area. Lock is expendable, and for a team that is going to be rebuilding next year and needing to draft a QB..they will be receptive to aquiring some picks. FTFY. Dallas traded a 4th for Lance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I don't think Lance is the answer. But something has to be done to improve Trubinsky. Looks like to me he plays scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray51 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 If Allen goes down, they will sign Tanny or another guy for the rest of the year. Mitch is on the roster, and will be here most likely for the entirety of the year. Backup QB is an area you dont worry about until that problem is in your face. Allen has shown to be incredibly durable, and you need to bank on that. If he goes down, then you evaluate and make a decision, because Mitch/Tanny aren't bringing this team to the playoffs no matter what.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 If trubisky goes on IR, there will be available players to grab. I'm not using picks this late in the offseason to secure "my guy", because "my guy" is a backup QB and the available ones are all as bad as the guys below. Hell Lance might be available for free at this point. Heinicke should be available. Keenum should be available. Kyle Allen should be available. Ridder should be available. PJ Walker should be available. Zach Wilson or Stidham should be available. CJ Beathard should be available. None are "good" options. Trubisky hasn't been very good for us or anyone else in the last few years either though. If allen is out for a long stretch of time, the offense is going to be pretty lousy regardless of who they put out there. The goal is more, if he's out for a half, or a few drives - the guy i put in should be able to keep it afloat while he gets treatment.

I think the most important thing there as with any veteran of any worth at this time of the year, teams want to sign them on the tuesday after week 1 so the contract is not fully guaranteed.
