mpl6876 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Come on guys enough of the talk about getting another QB. I am not happy with our QB situation but the Bills Front Office isn't going to pick up another QB. Gailey and Co. have made it clear that it's going to be TE, Fitz, or BB.

Today he was cut before the first workout. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...t-to-bucs-camp/ And, if he is cut before the first workout what does that say? This is so ridiculous! If guys are being cut now by their own teams befoe the first preseason game then something is very wrong with them and if you think they'd help the Bills well then you better check out their Madden ratings!

Then what was the purpose of the thread? Just to tell/inform us that Snead got released? I think it's safe to say the thread implies that maybe Buffalo should consider him. Or at least we can start talking about whether we think the front office should take a look at him? Something along those lines.... Better yet let me just ask him.

I am not happy with our QB situation but the Bills Front Office isn't going to pick up another QB. Gailey and Co. have made it clear that it's going to be TE, Fitz, or BB. San Jose was simply pointing out that a once highly rated qb has been released. You are reading too much into it. A simple clear point is just what it is: a simple clear point.

Huuuge Bills Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Maurice Clarett At least Clarett got drafted in the third round and got a little coin out of the deal. Snead was an undrafted free agent, and got cut before he's played a single preseason game. He made all of $0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 he left school after his junior year to enter the draft. Todd McShay was the one pumping him up. No one should ever listen to Todd McShay. This goes down as the worst early entry into the nfl ever I don't like McShay but he was spot on about Clausen. It's a joke profession that guys like McShay and Kiper are lucky to be in. They both have more misses than hits but it's entertainment. That's why people need to take their opinions with a huge grain of salt. Neither guy has spent a day in a NFL front office and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extrahammer Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Although I felt strongly all along that Snead would NOT turn out to be a good NFL quarterback, I feel bad for him. I don't know if he based his decision strictly off of McShay or some agent, but it was a definite bad move. The kid left college early for the draft, doesn't even get drafted, then gets cut before pre-season. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 As most surmised (I have one person on ignore but was able to figure out the dynamic of this thread), the reason for my post was firstly to report the news. It is funny how some jump to conclusions about some intended meaning to the original post. And ironically there was a subtext…just not the one that the person assumed. It was a litmus test for which posters here have some brains and the ability to understand exactly what they are reading, and also have an understanding of the topics in our community here. The subtext is that the Snead story is a cautionary tale to those who are already fixating on Jake Locker (Jay Clocker…thanks Crayonz), Ryan Mallet, Andrew Luck, Christian Ponder, Terrelle Pryor, et al. Bills fans IMO shouldn't spend too much time thinking about these players. Some of these highly-touted players will flame out. Other players will come from off the radar screen and establish themselves as top QB prospects. There is even a miniscule chance that quarterback will not be an issue after this season based on the surprise performance of whomever ends up starting for the Bills. Another possible scenario is that the Bills will draft for another position in the 1st round next year…that when the smoke clears on this season that they find they still have a greater need than quarterback or that the best value when they pick is not at quarterback. The waiving of Jevon Snead seemed like a good time to imply these points. Anyways, most of you passed the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 OK. Then what was the purpose of the thread? Just to tell/inform us that Snead got released?

Something along those lines.... Better yet let me just ask him. San Jose, I was wondering what the purpose of this thread was? So by your logic, all of the threads created the past month about Revis, Kindle, Bradford, Pat White, Eric Berry, Buluga, Jack Tatum, Haynesworth, Tebow, and EVEN a Lebron james thread all imply that these players should be signed by the bills? When a person creates a thread about a news story, they usually create it to discuss the said topic. that is how message boards work usually.

Rico Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Just goes to prove once again that you should ALWAYS stay away from QBs with a big gun for an arm and zero-to-negative intangibles (ie. Bledsoe, Losman). Thank God the Bills didn't waste a draft pick on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico.....I cant agree on Bledsoe.....if the bills were smart enough at that time to go a little overboard in the spending of a dominant offensive line to go in front of him he would have done much better here.....and he did pretty darn well for the Patriots for a amount of time...... I would take a QB that played in a super bowl even if he didn't win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
