rockpile Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Well said. The coaches need to NOT listen to the fans. I think it should be Fitz's job to keep or lose. The revolving door in the huddle HAS to stop now. As far as the inane and brief call for Reich to replace Kelly, that was mostly after Reich led the Bills 4-0 after Kelly had his ass "handed" to him, and Jimbo lost his first game when he returned. There was never really a controversy like some of the others mentioned. If there was a HOF position for backup QB, Reich would be a first rounder. Buddy said in the season ticket conference call that the Bills would sign a backup QB who would be given a chance in pre season. Said QB would be able to start if Fitz gets hurt and help us win a few games. Or start if he proves himself in pre season. That's what Buddy said. I'm a big Fitz backer, but heck, I'm not married to the guy and neither are the Bills. Every position is open to competition. That's a good thing.

I didn't mean to insinuate there was a "full blown" QB controversy with Kelly and Reich ... just wanted to mention that even our HOF QB was not immune to the "we want (fill in the back up of the day)" chant.

bigc14120 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 lETS SEE, LAST YEAR pRESEASON THEY PICKED EDWARDS OVER FITZ...HMMMMM...BAD JUDGEMENT OR INTERFERING OWNER? i AM GUESSING THE OWNER.....eDWARDS GOT THE HOOK AFTER TWO GAMES. lIKELY ONLY THIGPEN COULD COME IN AND CHALLENGE, AS HE KNOWS GAILEY/SYSTEM. bUT, MIAMI LOST PENNINGTON, SO I BELIEVE THEY WILL TRY TO RETAIN THIGPEN...HE IS A LONGSHOT IN MY VIEW. MORE LIKELY, JACKSON, WHERE HIS INCUMBENT TEAM HAS GIVEN UP ON HIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It's Fitz team end of discussion !! If they pulled that kind of crap after what he did last year they would lose the rest of the team , they are all behind Fitz veterans and rookies alike . QB controversy I DON'T THINK SO !!!!!!! It would be very closed minded of Gailey to not have a competition for EVERY position on the roster, including QB. Particularly on a team that went 4-12 last season. And I cannot imagine any decent FA would come to a team like the Bills without assurances that it indeed was a competition for the starting position. It may or may not be Fitz's position to lose, but to go in stating that Fitz is definitely the starter would be asinine. Gailey and Nix are both smarter than that.

reddogblitz Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) I have a strange feeling there will be a QB controversy with whoever we bring in this offseason. Let the games begin. 2nd string QB is always most popular guy on the team. Especially if he hasn't played yet. So yeah, it's a pretty safe bet. I would be happy with any of the following: Seneca Wallace, Tavaris Jackson, Marc Bulger, Bruce Gradkowski, Billy Volek, Troy Smith. And guys who aren't FAs (yet) Kyle Orton, Vince Young. This should be a pick for this year to help us if Fitz gets hurt. Not another reach for a diamond in the rough golden armed franchise QB for some indeterminate time in the future. Let's get the most talented guy in here we can and let the chips fall where they may. What are we afraid of?

machinegun12 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'd be in favor of Bruce Gradkowski. He is a scrapper like Fitz. Will accept the role and can carry us through a few games if we need him to. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
