Change the title please. You are crushing people's dreams
-
Locker has never played more than 11 games in an NFL season
it's bound to happen sooner or later. and if it doesn't then you have Cassel and EJ
-
as he said on the show "he never got off (the bandwagon)"

Jake Locker
I think they sign him and it will be Manuel v. Locker v. Cassel. And between his natural ability, him fitting perfect for Roman's style offense, more weapons than he ever had in Tennessee, and his career being on the line - he wins.
However, if Locker can't be brought in i'd say they should draft Garrett Grayson as the 3rd QB. In that scenario - I give the edge to Matt Cassel.
I think most of the board is in agreement on Locker. We usually don't all agree on things. I think the Bills have to make this happen
Locker is probably a long shot unless EJ does end up getting cut. He is going to want some certainty in regards to the competition and, barring him being told that they are cutting ties with EJ, having Cassel and Manuel on the roster doesn't offer much certainty on his place on the depth chart.
I don't think he needs any certainty. There's not a lot of teams to go to. The Bills are good and will give him a legit shot at being the starting QB. That should be all the incentive he needs
-
McCoy and Fred as it stands. Although I'm hoping they draft a guy in the 3rd. I don't think Boobie should be carrying the ball unless it's short yardage. Brown hasn't shown anything as of yet to even be on the team unfortunately
-
I'm going to say over...as in 20.1 points per game! Although there is too much uncertainty given we haven't even entered free agency yet. We are hopefully adding a Guard, TE, and another QB. But the plan is probably to keep the opposing team offense to under 20 either way
-
Sign Jake Locker. Draft Petty. Let them all fight to the death!
-
He retired.
hmm interesting. i feel like he would come back for the right fit. he plays a position where you can play well into your 30's and if it's a defense he knows then there's not a lot of thought involved. just suit up and play
-
it will be a Rex guy so yes this makes sense. maybe bring back Jim Leonard at Safety too. this is Rex's defense now
-
Indeed
which McCoy... just making sure I got it right
the real mccoy
-
Do you think that is what Cassel was told by the Bills prior to signing?
didn't tell him anything, traded for him and grabbed him basically. everyone has a chance to compete but Cassel is a backup by nature
-
Realistically..how much money can Locker demand. $3MM?
keep in mind Locker isn't about the money. he went back to college instead of come out early and be the #1 pick in the draft. he said then "I've never made a decision based on money so I wasn't going to start doing it (then)."
he also turned down $2 million to play baseball out of high school instead of going to college for football.
he's not driven by money. he won't be looking for a big pay day, he will be looking for an opportunity to start on a good team, and we give him that
-
Really did I just hear - Matt Cassel?
as a veteran backup
-
I think Locker is being brought in to compete. Cassel is the wise old veteran insurance policy. Not there to compete but there to mentor and ready to play in case the young guys fail
-
CJ isnt an every down back. To expect more than that is crazy. But good luck to him. He can be successful in the right system as a change of pace guy. But he's not an every down back
-
I will be shocked if the plan is to roll with EJ this year, they will make a move for a more proven QB IMO
No proven options. They will take a shot on Jake Locker and let him and EJ battle it out
-
...they think he is good...they just don't care. Right.
Or, they know the details of his injury and the prospect for his recovery.
or Rex says we are going to be the best defense in the league no matter who the LB is. you know how he is. full of bravado
-
Cheap ish
@JaySkurski: Matt Cassel has one year left on his contract at $4.75M. That leaves the #Bills with $12.833M of cap space to take into free agency.
No Revis
-
Orton>EJ>Cassel>McCown imo. Add Locker to that mix and he probably slots between Orton and EJ. I don't think Cassel is here to start. He is here as a veteran mentor and insurance policy
-
I think you are missing the point of the trade. The Bills are positioned for yearly visits to the playoffs the next three years. They went and got the sure thing, not the maybe.
Drafted RBs are very hit or miss. There's no need to even list the big names that went bust. Also, they were no in position to even get one of the two "sure thing" RBs in Gordon and Gurley.
So the Bills decided to not roll the dice on the draft with whichever RB was left at #50 and instead got one of the top three stud RBs in the NFL.
This trade instantly made the Bills a top 5 AFC team even with EJ Manuel as our starting QB IMO.
I wish I had that much faith in a guy that doesn't want to be here. He's good but for how long and how good will he be if he doesn't want to be on this team? If we get the McCoy from 2013 then I'm happy. We simply don't know yet
The same type of argument can be made for Kiko. The Bills wouldn't have traded him if they thought he was that good. In his one season, he played behind one of the best DL in football, which made him look great.
I think their both good players.
I think they know he is good, they just don't care. They wanted to make a big splash and this was their chance to better their offense. They probably feel as though they can get another LB that fits Rex's scheme so Kiko was exependable.
-
so who is still doubting these inside sources? McCown fell through so they went after Cassel as was said on here weeks ago. next they will try and get Locker and they are still planning on drafting a guy as far as I know
-
knowing he doesn't want to be here makes this deal even worse. how hard is he going to play for us if he doesn't want to play for us?
and there's no way we would get a 1st round pick for him. if we could i would do that deal in a second, draft Gurley and then have that 4th round pick too
-
So you're just going to gloss over the fact that the Bills, coming off a franchise worst rushing season, just added one of the league's top-3 backs to fix it?
That fact is meaningless?
Eagles wouldn't have traded him if they thought he was a top 3 back. I believe he was ranked #55 by PFF. Bryce Brown used to rip off 200 yard games in his absence so I'm not convinced McCoy is as amazing as you think.
There are lots of good RB's available in both FA and the draft. This is probably the deepest RB draft in years much like it was the deepest WR draft last year. This need could have been addressed in a lot of other ways
-
He'd have to do something really terrible to not make the team.
or have 2 FA QB's beat him out and then there just isn't room for him on the roster. could happen
