Typical TBD Guy Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Cutting him would save us about $1 mill but leave about $4 mill in dead cap. It doesn't look to be worth it, since a veteran backup QB to replace Drew will cost at least the amount we save in cutting him. I think we're stuck with this loser until January 2006...
Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 For someone who took a paycut, the new deal will cost the Bills too much money.

John from Riverside Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 He wont be starting.......so I dont think anyone will truly care.....
Maguire's Beer Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I think we're stuck with this loser until January 2006... 38014[/snapback] Well, there's no rule saying he has to start for that long. And you do need a good backup in today's NFL. And while I don't like the idea of Drew Bledsoe starting as the Bills QB for that much longer, he'd make an adequate backup. So I'm fine having him here for another year -- so long as there's someone else taking a maority of the snaps.

So there is no need to keep him and play him next season if you choose to not to cut him until July.

Big cap hits, but definitely addition by subtraction. Like Brady, JP doesn't need Drew looking over his shoulder.

Unless something radical is done its over for Donahoe.3-13 8-8 6-10 6-10...........not a great apttern...
Typical TBD Guy Posted September 21, 2004 Author Posted September 21, 2004 Yeah, well look at it this way. We're stuck with and you and your insults of our team for at least that long, too. So WTF? 38949[/snapback] Better than being stuck with your boneheaded optimism for the same length of time...24-20 Bills over Pats... Nice prediction! Nostradumbass

Nostradumbass 39348[/snapback] This I assure you is a matter of taste. And BTW, optimism doesn't make me dumb. I am enjoying myself a helluva lot more than you are.

I don't think even you, BuffaloBob - an eternal ray of sunshine - would bet on the Bills beating the Patsies?

However, like somebody said in another thread, if the showing of one's confidence necessitates a wager of money, I'll bet you $2. Then if you win you can buy yourself an ice cream cone and celebrate!

Mark VI Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Exactly. I think he's gone,and if MW doesn't finally step up, he will join him. Big cap hits, but definitely addition by subtraction. Like Brady, JP doesn't need Drew looking over his shoulder. 39298[/snapback] And don't forget Moulds. His cap hit for 2005 is 8.75 Mil. Unless he takes a big reduction, he may go. His replacement is already here ( Evans ) .

Fan in San Diego Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Alot of us said we should cut bait and run when we could with no cap hit. Look's like we were right after all. Billy Volek is looking better right now at whatever he was asking back then.
