BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Oops, we've been punked. BSD should stand for "bull s##t daily". This is just the fertile imagination of pretend journalist Pat Moran from BillsZone.com. I'm still waiting for one of his so-called rumors to actually pan out! PTR But...but...but...Promo! It's on the inter-webs! Seriously, hasn't Moran consistently proven that he has zero sources? All the guy does is use common sense and then passes it off as a "rumor from a source" to drive up traffic to his website. Of course the Bills would "consider" Pennington since he's a FA QB and the Bills need to upgrade their QB spot. They'll also "consider" trading for Michael Vick and Tyler Thigpen and drafting Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen. Should I post this on a website and say that my source told me so? I bet people will notice me then! Just say no to this guy, he never breaks anything...merely speculates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Pennington should consider coaching. He'd be an excellent QB coach IMO. However, the JESTS have Matt Cavanaugh and Miami's QB coach has been there just two years, and I think Sporano is happy with the job he's done with, well - Pennington and Henne. I don't see him coming to Buffalo. No. Gailey may have some interest in him, but I suspect that's a one way street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 i would welcome pennington as he is a clear upgrade over anything we have here. no more, no less. no one said anything about hitching your wagon to him for the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 What part of Neither are a starting calibre QB are you guys still missing? There isn't one QB on this roster that should even sniff starting snaps. First off, I did say that the Bills should draft Bradford or Claussen if they are there. Newsflash, Pennington is no longer starting QB material. I would take Fitzpatrick over Pennington at this point of their careers any day of the week. If Fitzpatrick doesn't play well enough, then Brohm is given the chance to start. If neither of them are the answer then Brown (4th, 5th rd pick) gets a shot. If Brown doesn't show enough potential then the Bills go QB in the first round of 2011. You can't have all the questions answered in one year. If the QBs aren't there then they should build up the lines and go with what they have for a year. McNabb is NOT coming here, that's a pipe dream. McNabb will either play for the Eagles or be granted his wish to play for a team that's playoff ready like the Cardinals or Vikings. The Eagles are not going to do McNabb bad like that and force him to play for the downtrodden Bills in a trade. Vick is a possibility that I threw out there but when it comes down to it, I don't really want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalScotts Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 He was done two years ago -but he does win games sorta like Orton. Play on a defensive football team do not turn it over hit the tight end every now and then. Not gonna do anything playoff time but he might get you there. I still vote no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Pennington is an upgrade over anyone on the current rooster, and also signals that the Bills may be considering Bradford/Clausen at a #1 and looking for a smart vet to a) hold the reigns for a year or two and b) tutor the rookie on the position. He's a smart QB that will come cheap and would be a better addition that just about anyone else that will be available. As far as the endless 'noodle arm' arguments, I seem to recall a lot of games where that noodle arm beat the Bills. If they are going to draft a QB #1, this would be a good move.

True, he shouldn't come here. But his best yardage totals came against Buff and NE-2 "cold weather" teams. And his completion percentage and total yards were best in December---relatively few in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills haven't been that bad; about the same record as the Jets during Pennington's tenure in NY. I'm not saying the guy is Manning; but he's a smart veteran and team leader who would be a good mentor to a rookie QB. Part of the reason the Bills have struck out so badly with QBs over the past 20 years is because they never nuture young guys who need to learn the pro game. It's not like there are any better options. Like it or not, the Bills have at least 2 years of rebuilding before there is any chance of them being a serious contender. We're talking about a transition QB for the next year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Via Twitter: http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/2010/02/...-be-considered/ Personally, I don't think he had the arm strength for Buffalo in his prime, let alone now. Not questioning his leadership or football intelligence, he's a great football player, just a better fit for a dome or warm weather team. Oh God no. The man does not have any shoulder left and I've seen my Bills make him look bad a number of times. This would be a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
