Fingon Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 What would be the point? Might as well just hire a practice dummy. Would be cheaper... although I do see your point. Bulger's best receiver in St. Louis was his running back. We at least have Lee here. He would offer better QB play than anyone we currently have on the roster. Bulger attacks every level of the field, which is something Fitz and Trent don't do. I wouldn't expect him to play extremely well, but if the Bills don't view any QB on the roster as a long term option, then there is no downside to signing him.

Guest dog14787 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Mcnabb I could see happening and be on board with it because he's tough both physically and mentally, accurate, very strong armed plus he's accustomed to playing in poor weather conditions. In my opinion because we are installing a new offense anyway, we should draft Tim Tebow (if possible) and let the four QB's battle for the start next season. I vote NO on Bulger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 i wouldnt mind gailey taking a look at him but bulger comes from playing in a dome and has taken a beating behind a bad o line for the past few years. he would be a better backup than fitzpatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 We should sign Bulger, and draft a QB to sit behind him for a year or two. That way Bulger can take a pounding while we upgrade our offensive line, and it will give whoever we draft time to develop. well, he cant. 1st hit hell be out 4 the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've always wondered about this "vet mentor thing"...if it means anything, why do teams hire QB coaches? Seems redundant... I guess it kinda depends, key word being credibility. Seems like most players take to ex players that are coaches and might respond better to a vet player than a coach who never made in the NFL. I'm not saying I agree, just might explain the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic_soulja Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ummmm...Bulger hasn't looked good in three years...he's old and crappy...I'd still rather have him backing up the future hall of fame Trent Edwards than some wet behind the ears rookie that can't play football like Tebow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ballsy move I say, but only for the fact that there are rumblings of Bradford pulling an Eli. They might have dumped him anyway considering his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Bulger may be the recent NFL starting QB about whom we really can't say: "Well, he can't be worse than Trent Edwards" He is definitely better than Ryan Fitzpatrick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Um, I will say it...Bulger is better than Trent, even right now. Trent has never ever been good, not once, not even in college. His career high in TD's is 11...come on now. Bulger is no savior, but he is better than Edwards... That being said, I think we need to focus on developing Brohm still who is the only QB on this roster with any significant upside at this point. Bulger isnt going to get us over the hump, although I think we win more games with him than Trent or Ftiz. So, lets focus on developing Brohm, getting him some experience so we know if we need to go out and draft a QB round 1 next year or acquire one via trade or FA to be our starter. There is no QB currently available now that McNabb has been traded that makes us a contender next year, so this is the year we need to find out what we have in Brohm, Fitz and Trent with the new staff and offense. Hopefully, one of them can step up and be a good starter for us, if not, we get our QB next year. Actually, in the years in which you can compare them (2007-09), Bulger is measurably worse than Edwards: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BulgMa00.htm. His passer rating has been around 70 for the past 3 seasons too. In fact, he hasn't thrown for more than 11 TDs since 2006. Why do you think he's better? People, wake up! A team that has gone 3-29 (!!!) with him at the helm just cut him because they don't think he's good enough for their team. And the team is now run by a legit football guy (Billy Devaney).

Pygskin36 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Before the "Let's sign Bulger" posts start, I say "Hell NO!!!!!" At least Bulger has shown he's able to do it.. His best days are surly behind him, but I would not hate it... I'd rather just draft Clausen if they don't have any faith in Edwards or Brohm, which seems to be the case with the interest in McNabb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 The Bills will only sign Bulger after the draft if they do not get what they want in the draft. They will only trade for Campbell, again, if they do not get what they want in the draft. Of course...my opinions. But, why would they do anything before finding out where Claussen/Tebow et al go?

There's no good reason to have Clausen and Campbell, but it might be worth keeping Campbell around and still investing the 2nd round pick in Tebow IF they really decide he's got what it takes. Campbell is a reasonable 3-year option while we wait out Tebow's development. More than Edwards/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkc Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It's not so much a teaching role as the willingness to step aside without creating a scene when the young superstar-in-waiting is deemed ready ... a personality trait most of the great QBs don't have, IMO, because of their natural competitiveness. Favre wasn't about to help Rodgers take his job, and Kelly was the same way. they still don't have a replacement for kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
