BigAl2526 Posted August 20 Posted August 20 (edited) If as appears to be the case, Mitch Trubisky is not a viable backup anymore (he appeared to be one in his last stint in Buffalo), the Bills have probably figured that out. Ryan Tannehill is the only veteran QB out there that might not be stinking garbage at this point. I don't know what his asking price is, but I'm guessing the Bills don't want to pay it. Both Dinucci and Brown have some traits that the Bills like. In no way do I think they are viable NFL backups at this point, but maybe that something the Bills like can develop in one of them. There will be cuts from other teams and QBs who make other teams' practice squads, but they are probably more of the same, unproven QBs with traits. We'd better hope Josh stays healthy this season at least. Edited August 21 by BigAl2526 Quote

It could only change if he becomes desperate for a job, but his compensation history says that's not going to happen. 1 2 Quote

But he didn’t gp to Harvard and Karl Malone is not his father. Edited August 20 by chris heff Quote
Beck Water Posted August 20 Posted August 20 (edited) 21 hours ago, Pokebball said: Turf toe can last, like, forever Turf toe is a fundamentally a sprain, meaning the ligaments are stretched or torn. Like any sprain, the stretching/tearing comes in different degrees. A badly sprained turf toe can indeed linger. A mildly sprained turf toe can recover in a couple weeks. I think the "week to week" designation implies the latter more than the former, but none of us really know. 4 hours ago, Simon said: Hopefully Josh gets hurt very early in the season so we have the first and best chance to sign Tannehill Will you bite your everlovin' gawdforsaken little pointed tongue?

If - heaven forbid - Allen got a season-ending injury in September or October, at that point we might as well roll out the Nooch and Anthony Brown. Would be ugly to watch but we’d be picking in the top 10 most likely. (Even with McD and all the players trying their best to win every game.) I’m overall pretty optimistic about this year’s team, or at least will be if we ever get a stretch of good health. But let’s be real: minus Allen, this is not a realistic contender even with a good backup QB. If - heaven forbid - Allen got a season-ending injury in November or December, AND we were in a good place record-wise, then I’d be inclined to sign Talleywacker if he’s still out there, or trade for this year's version of Josh Dobbs or something. The chances of the team getting hot and/or lucky are worth it at at that point. Edited August 21 by Cash 1 Quote
