Simon Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 According to Len Pasquarelli: "Quarterback Rohan Davey, released by Arizona last week, will work out for Buffalo officials next week." Oct. 21, 2005, 12:48 PM ET A former Patriot QB working out for the Bills the week they're preparing to play the Patriots? What a co-incidence.

Perhaps Mathews doesn't want to play anymore???
The Dean Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 WHY???? Perhaps Mathews doesn't want to play anymore??? 482064[/snapback] This is just to see what he remembers from the NE playbook, I'd guess. No biggee...but, it can't hurt.
Coach Tuesday Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 WHY???? Perhaps Mathews doesn't want to play anymore??? 482064[/snapback] Perhaps they're being cautious in case Holcomb gets hurt like he has every other year of his entire career.
Simon Posted October 21, 2005 Author Posted October 21, 2005 I also read somewhere that former Buc Sean King has given a few impressive workouts lately. If the Bills really are looking to upgrade the #3 QB spot, as opposed to just picking Davey's brain re: the Pats offense, King might be a good choice. He's a Tulane guy that Losman holds in high esteem and who supposedly was a factor in encouraging JP to switch schools.
Johnny Coli Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I'm not sure what good Rohan Davey's insight into the offensive game plan would be, unless they're planning on lining up against Notre Dame.

I think the kid can play, but apparently there are at least 32 GM's that disagree with me
Bflojohn Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 While Lenny P. did a column about the Bills and their offer to Terrence McGee, there was a tiny note in the side column that mentioned that Arizona had released Rohan Davey and that the Bills Brass will give him a look next week.
Mark VI Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Might be a practice squad signing if Matthews already stated to the brass this is his last year.
Lori Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Might be a practice squad signing if Matthews already stated to the brass this is his last year. 482311[/snapback] I'm going to guess he's got too much accumulated time to be PS-eligible. I realize he's barely played (since Brady never comes out of the game), but if he was even listed as the #2 QB for nine or more games last season, that would still count as an accrued season... I think.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Yeah, he's not eligible. I think they'll offer him a spot as #3 if he gives up the goods on the Pats.
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 The Bills also worked out Quentin Griffin--who worked out for the Pats. Coincedence?
Golden Wheels Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Davey is a terrific athlete. The Pats invested in him despite having Brady, had him play in NFLE, and hoped he would learn to throw with more accuracy. He never did. I liked him as a college QB, but have my doubts about his future in the NFL.

Bishop's in the CFL now; could that be Davey's next stop?

JimBob2232 Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 eh, i dont have a problem with him being the #3. We need a young guy to be the #3 guy, not shane matthews (though I am glad he is here too...).
Lori Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Maybe that's why he's here. Just passin' through the Bufftown. 482360[/snapback] Stopped to ask for directions to the Sundowner on his way by...
ATBNG Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 They tried the same thing with Michael Bishop, as I recall. Bishop's in the CFL now; could that be Davey's next stop? 482356[/snapback] Ah yes - Michael Bishop. Was there anything he couldn't do athletically? Not according to Boston talk show callers. I gathered from Belichick's press conference when they cut Davey that he really likes the kid personally. He was a little bit emotional about having to cut Ro'. Davey never played well in exhibition season - could never develop accuracy or consistency, and he had noticeable issues with his footwork. Davey is known as the man with the Golden Arm in Germany for his record setting NFL Europe season for Berlin in 2004. One article here
booya2 Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 ATBNG, is that Gilbride in that avatar? That brings back some memories... I seem to recall Gilbride being heavily criticized on this board for smelling his own farts instead of coming up with a game plan. I even recall a cartoon someone had posted where Gilbride lit a fart on fire and blew up the playbook. Now THOSE were the days!
