A Dog Named Kelso

I think the fact that they dump Fitz was really the issue. They are not paying Manuel starter money yet so they could have kept Fitz and let there be the same QB competition. They are counting his salary against the cap anyway and he had chemistry with the team mates. There was no need to bring in a veteran presence you had one on the team that was more durable and of the the same if not better calibre.

Why trade for Lewis and not Kellen Moore? Just curious of the two battling for Detroit 3rd stringers/Practice squad players. Maybe they just cut him?

LOL am I missing something?

Right so I guess my point is that if a team really wants to get their hands on a player ... there is no "hiding them on the practice squad".

I don't understand all the "hide" talk of the practice squad. If a team wants a player on the any practice squad I was under the impression all they needed to do was offer to sign them to their active roster, am I mistaken? If this is the case, passing waivers or not doesn't prevent a team from acquiring one of these receiversif they need help in that spot, right?

I agree. Building through the draft means keeping your talented players, even letting Rinehart goes shows something has changed this year.

Exactly! Its called fishing ... hey if I tell you I don't know what do to about a position you may be able to offer me a solution! And fix one for yourself.

lol

Doesn't he have a ring?

But he assisted with others . J/K

Someone on this forum has a avatar with a blue on blue helmet .. I think that one looks pretty nice! I say they do that instead.

The thing about Nassib is there is catch-22 if no one picks him before 8th and the Bills pass on him ... he may fall pretty far. If I am a GM looking for a QB and his former head coach and OC pass, I think to myself "If they have no confidence in him how can I trust what my scouts tell me about him". Just a thought but that may leave him there until round two. I don't know if I take that chance if I want him but that may be an avenue of subterfuge for the FO.

People like to point to Tannehill as a rookie success, debatable yes, but he did play well at times. However, the reason for the success he did have, I think , is that he had his coach from college calling the plays. That may be one reason for the bills coaching decisions. Take a book from what the dolphins did, only do it better, and, hopefully, get a better result. This way you really give your rookie quarterback to tool to succeed right away. He can gradually learn a new offense(when necessary) while implementing what he knows. I don't know if this is the plan but that does increase the value of a pick, the ability to come right in on day one and run your offense. So at 8 Nassib would be worth more because the development cycle would be nonexistent. IMO

Unfornately; He could have donned a bills jersey and done that in front of the Ralph and it could have have be just as relevant.

We didnt steal him he chose to leave. If they jump us to spite us it will do them little one of the benefits is the quick start because of his know of the offence.As the jets will have a different offence for the 3rd straight season they should get a QB they have rated high not plays more games. There is the unlikely chance he may not be there at 8th what then?

This was before they were members of the Bills. Since then they have not said anything and now have a plethra of choices at QB. We are the ones connecting dots but don't really know.

Have they actually talked up anyone ... I am pretty sure we(fans) are the only ones talking Nassib up.

Doesn't your example reinforce what I was assuming?

Nothing like telegraphing your intent!

It this true? I thought that was the whole logic behind "Cash to Cap" so that you could assign signing bonuses to the year you signed the contract? Thus avoiding the amortization of the bonus.

nice Article!

The funds need to be ponied up by someone so a realistic threat of leaving(i.e. an NFL interview) will help a wealthy booster fill the coughers.

How would you know you could get him is round two? I believe they thought they could get Cousins at a different point last year and Washington grabbed him. There is know way to know what one of the other 31 teams values the different players at.

+1000 The only decision you need to make is if the other players you like in a given round will still be there, if not, you try and trade back in to that round.
