bills_red Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) if the quote from the article is true... why not call just about anyone our 3rd qb, and put brown on the PS, and get to dress an extra guy for free essentially Smith was the QB at Missouri so he can throw it a bit in case Fitz and Thiggy go down. You dont want a #3 QB who was never been a QB at least Smith was a QB in college. Edited July 28, 2011 by bills_red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPicc2114 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This man turned the program around at Missouri.. he is one of my favorite players. I just don't see how he fits in Buffalo though.. Bills have plenty of receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 plenty of teams carry 2 qbs into the season. then if ur #1 goes down you have to sign a guy off the street, or PS, which imo isn't a smart move you should have 3 QBs on your team. This man turned the program around at Missouri.. he is one of my favorite players. I just don't see how he fits in Buffalo though.. Bills have plenty of receivers. again he can be the #3 QB with the new rule and still get to play WR & KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Levi Brown or someone else would be our developmental QB on the PS. Smith would be our gameday #3 just in case #1 and #2 go down. He would not take any WR slot, which barring injury will be Evans, Stevie, Roscoe, DNelson and Easley, with Donald Jones likely our #6 unless Brad Smith would take his place as a gunner. Smith would play Wildcat QB, whatever crazy package Chan thinks up for him, some RB and some WR, depending on the formation and package. He would help our team in numerous ways (although, again, the need for signing an ILB and maybe a RT is not affected by this whatsoever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Smith has talent (I always hated when he trotted-out onto the field against the Bills) and the Bills have money. I can't find a reason to not like it, unless they reveal that after adding him, they had no money for anyone else (which I doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstealer Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Then I could see it ... I don't see this. Chan released the chains Jouron had on him and he flourished. I think Roscoe is a huge part of this O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith would give Chan 3 dangerous toys(CJ, Roscoe, Smith) that can create havoc in open space. All relatively cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
