agardin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The Bills need a back up that has a shot a developping into a legit starter. Quinn hasn't shown it thus far but I am not sure he has had the chance. Mangini hated him from the get go and Tebow passed him. It is interesting that Quinn was the number 2 coming out of camp but the Broncos thought the season was over and decided to throw Tebow to the wolves. Tebow won and Quinn never got a chance to show if he has progressed. He looked like all of his confindence was erased during his time in Cleveland and I am not sure he has it back. If the Bills are going to sign ND QBs, I think Clausen might be the better option. Newton is entrenched and Clausen would have a higher ceiing than Quinn. He was thrown into a very bad situation in Carolina and seeing how he progressed from his freshman year to the end at ND I wouldn't be surprised to see him succeed at the NFL level. The Bills could offer a 5-6th for his services. If they were going to draft a development QB in those rounds of the upcoming draft, might as well use that pick for a guy who has at least been in the NFL for a couple of seasons.

robert cohen Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 im not saying this is WHAT i want , im saying it strictly on facts about lee. he has taken over for cortez and was VERY likely to bring quinn to miami... their situation is similar to ours QB wise.. moore looked great down stretch but is he really a long term option if u cant get rg3 or luck which they wont.. if FO is not high on QB prospects which im hoping they arent, he may be best possible otpion via free agency cuz has starter skill set but never lived up to hype.. complete opposite of fitz.. who has zero talent just makes good decsions but just cant put ball where it needs to be consistently and makes some routine throws look too tough.. like it or not, this is gonna be a strong possibility cuz of Lee's love of quinn. we brought him on to be QB coach which is highest asst outside of OC and DC coordinator..

BobChalmers Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'd be extremely happy with that. The Browns gave up on him WAAAAY too fast. Bizarrely so, IMO. No clue why he didn't get more of a chance in Denver yet - but that would be awesome if we could steal him before the Broncos wise up. I doubt seriously the price will be that high that it's not worth taking a flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. The guy completely sucks balls. Inconsistent I will give you, but zero talent? Oh, wait, were you talking about Quinn having zero talent? Then yes, I agree.

missthe kgun Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I think it would be worth the risk, he will be cheap, and has some experience. Plus Chans system is QB friendly, lots of short quick throws, and Quinn has a bigger arm than Fitz. Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snamsnoops Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Not a big fan of Quinn, and would much rather draft a guy in the later rounds to try n develop. I thought we brought Lee in to work out more of the Wild cat with Brad Smith, and he has spent some time with Thiggy in Miami. (who i think is garbage) Maybe he could help Fitzy with his mechanics some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Brady Quinn....-I guess that would be a Bills-like acquisition.I guess we need 2 back-up QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansLanda Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'd be open to a Quinn signing primarily because I completely buy into the idea that 1st-round QBs win championships the most. Not saying Quinn will ever amount to anything, but I don't think anyone can say he's had a fair shake yet either. Alex Smith taking seven years to "develop" should be case and point about the possibility Quinn can muster a career...Just needs the right system. And would it really matter if it's Thigpen or Quinn backing up Fitz for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turftoe Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) We will draft our backup/future starter. PTR Yep. Probably a middle rounder with a high ceiling. B.J. Coleman, perhaps? Edited January 15, 2012 by turftoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact his career has been based on 90% qb coaching and 10% wildcat, realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We will draft our backup/future starter. PTR I hope so too, but the Bill's can't draft everybody. Two WR, a LT, a CB, two pass rushers AND a QB? Some of these positions are going to have to come from FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob16151 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'd honestly prefer Quinn over Thigpen as a backup. Thigpen was horrrendous every time he got onto a football field last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I don't think this off season is going to involve bringing in another quarterback. Fitz signed an extension, and Thigpen signed for 3 years if I remember correctly. Thigpen is Gaileys guy from his days in KC. I'm sorry guys, but I don't see a QB change or addition this year.
