Jones must be high, who in their right mind (play off team) is going to sign this guy to see any meaningful playing time? The answer is no-one, the guy is delusional. He will be a backup #2 or 3 QB, if he’s lucky some Chooch team will sign him for mop up duty on their way to a high draft pick, 

I could honestly see him going to the Vikings or ravens.  I think he could step in for Darnold and be fine there and with McCarthy on ir their backup is Nick mullens who is a bit more terrible than jones haha 

 

ravens only have Josh Johnson I believe after Lamar 

[oldmanfan]

No better or no worse than Trubisky.  Bills fans from the past when we sucked still think we should sign any guy that gets released because they’d have to be better than the guys we had.

Todd Collins survived in this league as a backup and occasional starter for 16 years before retiring from the Chicago Bears.  His earnings during his NFL career was a whopping  $18.5M.  Pretty good for a guy who threw for 4500 yards in his career with 22 TD and 24 INT.  This is a Quarterback STARVED league.

Jones Is a bad QB, it’s no different than playing the guy they have,

And signing Jones continues that starvation diet, the guy is a bad QB, he doesn’t help any team with his presence,

I don't think he's expecting to play? When they said involved, they meant in the building and on the sidelines with a playoff contender.

Nick mullens was worse than Daniel jones starting for a stacked offense in SF when jones was starting for the horrendous giants imo.  They’re both bad sure but there’s varying degrees lol can’t even imagine how bad mullens would’ve been on that giants team of the last few years 

 

josh johnson is absolutely horrendous

Tim Boyle is another guy who has been terrible every time he’s has played. He just got signed to the giants PS after they released Jones

People are giving more legs to the phrase "being involved in big games" than it actually has. It isn't suggesting he's going to come in and take over for Lamar Jackson (obviously) or Sam Darnold. Just that he'd be on the sidelines, in the QB room, and be called upon if there's an injury, in "big games". It's really not that crazy that Baltimore would prefer Daniel Jones over Josh Jackson, if something were to happen to Lamar. Or that Minnesota would prefer Jones over Nick Mullens, if something were to happen to Sam Darnold. Especially with Schefter reporting they're in on it and Minnesota's Head Coach not shutting it down:

I'd rather, we pickup Aaron Rogers for backup, when the Jets release him in a few weeks.

We aren't going to replace Mitch Trubisky, who we just signed on a 2 year deal worth 5.25m with 3.71m guaranteed, for anyone this season. There's a chance they move on from him after this year, but I still think it's probably more likely they approach him for a paycut which he accepts, if anything at all. They like him in the QB room, regardless of what fans think of his Pre-Season performance.

 

Daniel Jones probably isn't happening and Aaron Rodgers ABSOLUTELY isn't happening. Even if they released him, which they won't. At most, they're going to IR him for the rest of the year. Rodgers wouldn't sign on to be a backup and Buffalo wouldn't want that kind of ego and loose cannon in the press in their QB room to begin with. Especially with how beat up he is and how badly he's been playing this year.

 

I'd imagine they view the QB room is set this year with Mitch Trubisky and Mike White as Josh's backups. I don't see them bringing along someone new this late in the season. As much as fans bemoan Trubisky, there's a good many teams that are way worse behind their starter than Trubisky and White. And I don't believe the Buffalo decision makers view Trubisky in the same light that posters do. Especially with the contract they gave him.

Mara was sold a bag of beans. Copying Buffalo’s front office arrangement, with two inexperienced characters. Wow. I blame Mara for that, and the GM and HC for not making it work. 
 

Mara needs a president to make those decisions. He’s too close to the fire. His opinions should filter through the president, to the GM and HC.

But the practical exigencies of an NFL roster dictate there is normally room for 2 QB on the 53-man roster.  A third QB means the team is running thin at another position.  And the backup is always one hard hit or UNC buzz-down away from going into the game.

I'm sure Daniel Jones would love to be in the building and on the sidelines with a playoff contender, but if he expects to be on the roster of a playoff contender, I think he's gotta be ready to play

No.  He's better than Trubisky.  Trubisky was awful in his Steelers stint.  I think Jones is a bad starter but good back up.  Not saying he's worth grabbing late in season but he's definitely got more upside.

I was never so wrong about a QB in my life with Collins. I watched him quite a bit in college. He was calm, accurate made the sideline throws etc ..

 

So pumped when we drafted him, so disappointed he was none of what I saw with Michigan.

 

Nice career for him, but it started the Bills ineptness at drafting QB's until Josh Allen.

Tim Boyle went 4-15 and had 12 tds and 26 ints in college!!!! He must have seen Roger Goddell do something really bad. It’s absolutely insane is making money playing qb. I’m so jealous.

Eeeeeeeeew, No.  

 

@boyst spoke about Travis Kelce as having "main character syndrome"; when I looked up "main character syndrome" in the dictionary, it literally had Aaron Rodgers photo over the entry.

 

NOT a good wingman/supporting character which is what you want in your backup QB

17 starting QBs for the Bills between retirement of #12 and the arrival of #17...

Ironically Todd was in the same draft class as Rob Johnson, one has to wonder how much Bills history would have changed had we drafted RJ over Todd that year. I'm not saying he'd ever develop to be a starter but it mean no trading a 1st for him which could have been used on an offensive tackle like Tra Thomas or a LB like Takeo Spikes. Fred Taylor was taken with our pick but pretty sure we'd pass on him since Antowain Smith was returning for his 2nd season here.  Also we might have ditched RJ sooner before adding Flutie and the whole fan devide never happens or maybe we get another QB in another draft?
