May Day 10 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 unlikely. However, I wonder if they are planning on making a move for Kolb.... if they dont already have some sort of agreement in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 No interest in a trade for Kolb. Based on talent alone, Young seems worse a gamble, but his mental make up is what concerns me. It seems that we will be looking for one of the available free agents on the scrap heap Young Alex Smith Troy Smith McNabb (if he gets cut) not sre who else would be out there.

mrags Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'd take VY in a jeartbeat in FA. We've seen what Gailey can do with a mobile QB. If VY can get his head straight we could be looking at similar play as Michael Vick in Philly last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is pretty good. I really fear the return the Eagles will want though and I dont think it is worth it, as opposed to Fitzpatrick, and maybe a good drafted QB next season.

He still has upside never got good coaching in SF I tend to agree a bit...Young and Smith actually have similar Stats, though Young is clearly the better runner of the two and has a much better Won/Loss record over the past 2 Years...But I agree about the Coaching Smith has received...I am not a Singletary (as a HC) fan at all, and I would assume any QB would struggle under that guy regardless of the Offensive Staff...I just think Singletary was in WAY over his head...And I realize he's not an Offensive HC, but I think a HC and a Starting QB go hand in hand...You need a REAL strong HC when you're bringing along a young QB...And even then sometimes it does not work...Look at VY as an example of a young QB who failed under the best of NFL Coaches... I should mention though that I've heard the Coaching argument brought up about Smith a few times and not everyone agrees...There are quite a few "experts" out there who feel he simply is an average QB...Nothing more...

rpcolosi Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 alex smith would be a great QB as a back up under Chan. I think its pretty clear Brohm just doesn't get it, but Smith has had some success in the league. He's an early round talent, who busted as a franchise savior. Anyone ever wonder how JP would do under Chan? Now that you are done laughing, I'm serious... cannon arm, good mobility, bad decision maker. Seems Chan might be able to work with that.

You don't have to give up anything for them, they are both FA's I believe Vince Young isn't coming here, especially not to be a backup The Bills need someone who can potentially become an upgrade to Fitzpatrick, not just someone to come in and take over if Fitz gets hurt to make sure we continue on the path to an 8-8 season Edited April 30, 2011 by apuszczalowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If Fitz goes down with an injury next season, do you want to hang your hat on Bad Bad Levi Brown or Bad Bad Brian Brohm? Seriously, we need to consider signing Vince Young as a backup QB. Otherwise, let's plan on LUCK next April. Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if some team that seems to really, really need a QB (but didn't draft one) like...Washington....or 'Zona....would take a chance on Young. There is absolutely nothing in his history or behavior which suggests he has what it takes to be a quality backup to anyone. I think we need to sign a veteran backup, but has to be someone who is valuable as a backup, not a Dona who would cause trouble in the locker room by thinking they should be The Man which Young or someone like Alex Smith would likely be prone to do. Maybe Matt Moore, or Marc Bulgar. Seneca Wallace intrigues me (not kidding). Maybe Garrett would be available since Jacksonville took Gabbert? The Bills need someone who can potentially become an upgrade to Fitzpatrick, not just someone to come in and take over if Fitz gets hurt to make sure we continue on the path to an 8-8 season I think you have a run-on sentence here. I would re-write it as "In the near future (like next year) the Bills need to draft someone who can potentially become an upgrade to Fitzpatrick. This year, they need someone to come in and take over to make sure we don't get too embarrassed if Fitz gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I would like Alex Smith as a back-up. I would surely take Vince Young as a back-up although I doubt I would ever want him as a starter. I do think Chan could use him effectively in some short yardage or red zone packages. The guy from the list above I would love as a back-up is Dennis Dixon. What is his status? Anyone know?
