Ramius Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 the radio just reported that the Jets signed Vinny... no link yet, sorry courtesy of puhonix
stuckincincy Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Who knows? If Vinnie has any gas left in his tank, it's not that bad a move.
gantrules Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Not a bad move in their situation. Rookie QB or Veteran QB..... See ya in a few weeks Vinny.
TheMadCap Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 That must mean that Fiedler is likely to be out at least three or four weeks...
taterhill Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 first series..The Bills need to knock out his walker and work the bed sores
duey Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 No joke...I once heard that he owns (and works at) a deli on Long Island. Can you imagine having Vinnie slice you a pound of ham? "Hey Vinnie...could you cut that a little thinner? And make my sandwhich with extra mayo!"
dib Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 That must mean that Fiedler is likely to be out at least three or four weeks... 456471[/snapback] radio states 6-8 weeks. If Vinny is good to go I say we re-sign Jimbo!
BillsObserver Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 i guess he's their only decent option. word had it they were considering quincy carter. which is worse? sucks to be them. if are D can get back on track at all, vinny returnining to the jets is good news for the bills. and don't blast me for saying that because we're still only 3 games in. the bills told me to say that seriously, beat the jets twice, beat the phins twice and we're in it for the AFC east. ok i'm dreaming, whatever.
boutwillis Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I like to throw INT"s Testeverde is back.
taterhill Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I like to throw INT"s Testeverde is back. 456517[/snapback] aka Interceptaverde

boutwillis Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 aka Interceptaverde 456521[/snapback] This ought to help the bills out.
drunkenirishmann Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I don't think they really had a choice on this one.....it was him or that crack addict Quincy. If not, they would have had to throw away the season w/an inexperienced QB.
boutwillis Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Nate Clements will have a big game with Vinnie at the start.
smokinandjokin Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Let's just hope the Jets win enough games to stay out of Matt Leinart/Reggie Bush territory in the draft.
kegtapr Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 If not, they would have had to throw away the season w/an inexperienced QB. 456543[/snapback]
Buftex Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Having seen a lot of Vinny with the Cowboys last year, I can say, he is not great, but is still capable of putting together a big game... I am kind of surprised the Jets didn't try to make a run at Patrick Ramsey (he is "demanding" a trade). IMO, he would be better than any of their other options, and would likely come pretty cheap. It sounds like Pennington might be done for good. I can't remember any player, in any sport, coming back, sucessfully, from two rotater cuff surgeries, particularly one who relies so much on his shoulder. The only one that comes to mind was Jim Rithcer (or was it John Fina?) very late in their careers...
stuckincincy Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I like to throw INT"s Testeverde is back. 456517[/snapback] Over his career, Vinnie has a 5 - 4 win edge over the Bills... Vinnie's career stats: http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1007
duey Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 What about the Jets approaching SD for Phillip Rivers? If they don't think they need a new QB for the future, they're living in denial. Offer SD next years one, and see what happens. I can't see the Jets losing enough games to win the Leinart lottery, so here's a way for them to get a highly rated rookie in mid-season. Is SD willing to let him go now, or are they still trying to figure out if Drew Brees is the real thing.
