[FA CB Deshawn Shead visiting Bills]

This is a pretty nice piece of news. Make it happen Doug. Then go get a WR that is better then a 5

[Something must be up with the Bills]

Guess you didn't hear about Philly Brown

[How about Chase Daniel for qb2?]

I think most of us are in the camp of wanting a vet backup QB. While Jones has a lot of physical ability, he may not be ready yet to be the backup QB. With the recent signing of Nick Foles, the eagles released QB Chase Daniel. A very solid veteran that can excel in the type of offense we are seemingly going to run. With a QB that runs as often as Tyrod, it's important to have a guy ready to go incase of injury. We still have a decent amount of cap room and we only have 2 QBs on the roster. Might this be a good move for the Bills?

[Bills have made offer to FA RB Travaris Cadet]

By what we seem to be doing personnel wise, Our offense is going to be 60% run and then just play action roll out short dump offs to FBs RBs and TEs...which I actually have no issue with. That's like my mid 2000s Madden offense. RBs and TEs with 85+ catches a year. Where is Larry Centers? Maybe we will get Mccafrey and end up with a Rich Gannon style perma <6 yd pass offense.

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

 

I'd rather have Fitzy back over EJ any day. . Fourth quarter picks included

 

I would rather have any QB alive then EJ. There is nobody worse. Even Tebow. Literally any QB that can still physically play... Is a player I would feel better about seeing.

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

No, he just doesn't live in hyperboleville like you apparently do

watch the guy play. He can't throw the same ball twice. He was completely figured out a month into his rookie year and never got better. The guy is absolutely terrible and will probably never spend another sunday on an nfl roster. That doesn't happen to a top 10 backup.

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

John Murphy just said again EJ was a top 10 backup QB in the league. Does this guy ever watch anyother team in the NFL? I can't even believe this buffoon is still trying to say this garbage. EJ is not only the worst backup in the league, he's probably worse then every other QB including the 3s. I can't even comprehend how an objective person can watch EJ play and be so confused. A top ten back up? Is this guy on drugs?

[Bills sign WR Jeremy Butler]

Did you make one of these for LoRax, Groy or Z Brown last year?

no but I think he made one for sterling Moore, valesco, jim dray, greg little and Boykin though. Better lock the lid on that thing. Someone may find Whaleys draft plans in there and leak them to the press

[Bills sign WR Jeremy Butler]

Sign Victor Cruz

at this point I would be all for that. Even a broken down, half speed, shell of Victor Cruz, is good compared to the bums we are signing. At least Cruz has a clue how to play the position and can probably get open just by knowing what he's looking at.

[Too many positions with holes]

It's only day 4 of FA and people are going to say we have plenty of time. The issue with that is the good players are gone. We could have 6 years to fill the roster, the guys that could have helped us are already gone. Now we will look at the Philly Brown and Jeremy Butlers of the world and wonder why we never make the playoffs. We signed a backup D-lineman today. The 1 spot on the roster we are actually good at already. 5 or 6 massive wholes in the starting lineup and we are signing no name depth at positions of strength.

[Bills sign WR Jeremy Butler]

We are putting together one hell of a WR depth chart

[Whaley forget about receiver?]

With Cooks in NE now, wouldn't you think either Hogan or Amendola shakes free? Might we bring in either of them to play the slot if they did?

[Bills linked to M. Claiborne]

A signing like this would certainly make me feel a little bit better about FA. We would pretty much be able to get away with not drafting a corner early and would minimize the loss of Gilmore. If Clayborn stays healthy you have him and Darby on the outside with Seymore in the slot. White rolling in as the next guy up at either position. Hyde at SS and Poyer/rookie at FS. Not great but not terrible. Not forcing our guys to play man on the outside constantly should help our back end. If we pull this signing off, I may be inclined to feel pretty confident in our back end

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

Maybe a D league basketball team will pick him up to do the dirty work, since he has mastered the art of throwing picks. The good shooters always need a guy to give him the extra time to get a clean shot off

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

I don't know what to tell ya,I'm just the messanger.But,id assume it was a coaching decision? Also,where did you see/hear that Cassel was automatically advanced to #2 upon his return? As you said yourself,there was no football in between,so how does a QB come back from being cut after three days,and out play anyone to automatically deserve a promotion? ?

the depth chart.

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

 

 

Cassel absolutely did beat him out considering both times he was on the roster, Cassel was the 2 and EJ was the 3. Tyrod was the starter.[/quote ]According to an espn article on Sept 5,2015 cassel was released after EJ beat him out for the #2 QB. Go read it,you have been mistaken in at least half of what you claim

so then explain how when he was brought back, he was immediately placed ahead of EJ on the depth chart with no football player inbeteeen?

[Lorenzo back on a 2 year deal]

So only one guy was the beneficiary of Rex's defense?

no, every opposing QB was also a beneficiary of it

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

cassel did not beat him out. He was acquired to be the starter.EJ was supposed to ride the pine,but was forced into playing before he was ready. Week 17 was his last game day audition,to see if he had progressed enough to warrant a back-up role on a new contract. He failed. That's that. Good Luck to him tho.Always a class act

Cassel absolutely did beat him out considering both times he was on the roster, Cassel was the 2 and EJ was the 3. Tyrod was the starter.

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

wasn't EJ forced into action due to injury? Also,I'm not sure our roster was undermined by keeping him,hoping he developed,as he was on his rookie contract

matt Cassel beat him out for the backup job. Whaley then cut him. They bring Cassel back on a cheaper deal, probably because Rex complained. Cassel goes back to the 2, then Whaley trades him. Then you have week 17 of last year. Why would you not just play Jones in that game? They did everything they could and more to force EJ. It didn't work. No reason to feel bad.

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

Everybody has to come to EJ's defense here like the guy has it so bad. He was over drafted by about 4 rounds. Therefore got all kinds of publicity and also got paid more then he deserved. EJ Got handed job after job here without ever earning any of them. He was out played by every QB that we have ever had on our roster, yet still never was cut. Had players released undermining our depth chart, just to keep him on our gameday Roster. Has had excuse after excuse made for him since day 1. Has high school level footwork and probably the worst accuracy I have ever seen for an NFL QB (not named Tebow). And through out all of this, nobody has ever been able to say anything bad about him without the "nice guy" police jumping in.

 

EJ is probably a good guy. It's funny how that's just a given in any one of these conversations, Eventhough I seriously doubt anyone on here actually knows him or could know that for sure. Nobody wanted him to fail. We are all diehard bills fans, everyone on here hoped he would be great. The guy was given more opportunities then his skill set deserved, due to complete incompetence from our front office. I really don't understand why we are supposed to feel bad for him? The guy should have been taken in the 4th or 5th round and had the investment been in line with the performance...would have probably been let go long ago. The way I see it, the guy got more then he could have asked for based on his ability. I don't feel bad for a guy that got paid millions of dollars despite never improving. That is soley on him. I feel bad for the fans that were sold a bill of goods and had to sit through wasted time and forced attempts to get this guy on the gameday roster.

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

Gander Mountain is going to hire him to take down all the tents with wildly thrown footballs

[Bills reportedly interested in Kamar Aiken; signing w/Colts]

Drew Haddad is looking to get back in the cut (Mike Mayock reference)

Reggie Germany is taking the elevator to the 10th floor and dropping these guys off on the 5th

[10 Available Free Agents that could fit the Buffalo Bills]

How about Carr and Wright? Get a slot WR and a vet CB you can play on the outside next to Darby. A guy who can help teach Darby how to be a pro

[Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?]

Whatever team VInce Young signed with should take a look at EJ. He might be good enough to compete for the backup job there.

[Lorenzo back on a 2 year deal]

I like Alexander. I'm glad he's back. I personally would have put him at SLB, got rid of Preston Brown and brought back Zach. I have no issue with the signing, I just wish it meant that cement foot Preston Brown was gone. I'm just confused at where he will play.
