Oregonbillsfan Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Cut Thigpen instead!! I'm not sold on Vince, but I'm hopeful that he has realized that he needs to let his play do the talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 No he won't but Thigpen prob will I think this means Brad concentrates on being just a receiver next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 People are thinking about cutting Brad for Vince because of wildcat option..... VINCE YOUNG HAS NOT EVER DONE WILDCAT Brad still has a lot of value on this team....Thigpen will probably go who is actually more expensive then V. Young.

NoSaint Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Anyone that thinks smith was ever a true qb option needs there head checked. If fitz ever sat, he would have been leapfrogged by someone by the next game. He was a just in case arm. Not a guy that would ever take real snaps.

RyanC883 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I think one of the three: Thiggy, Young or Smith are cut after camp. If Smith can't emerge as a #2 WR my guess is he's gone. Way too expensive to keep. Can't throw. His wildcat was pathetic. Thiggy is prob gone also with Richmond QB as "Emergency QB." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiggy is prob gone also with Richmond QB as "Emergency QB." i think he stays. i think a specialty gadget player suffers the most when the offseason is stolen. this team had to focus on getting core plays installed, not gimmicks. i think that in the end he is to talented an athlete to bag that fast. and people need to get past UDFA qbs. these are guys that are lucky to make the practice squad. if they dress for the 53 ever, it would be a huge victory.

jcbillsfan Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 considering the new qb coach inveted the wildcat at arkansas you would have to think smith is going to play . When he was playing last year he seemed to convert a bunch of third and short plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 At the very least there is him filling a need at the badly underpopulated WR group. I'm sure that Thigpen is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 neither will be cut. I could honestly see the rookie kid going to PS and the bills keeping VY, Thigpen in the flock with Fitz as starter. If Fitz goes down they'd still have a backup to the backup without having the third string. This team has always had a history of valuing special teams - it's not interesting to see that we have Mark Pike = Corey McIntyre and Steve Tasker = Brad Smith types on this team - then we're going to possibly keep a 2nd kicker. Wow, I really wish the NFL would get smart, give temporary IR players and give teams more activated people for gameday. It'd cut down on injury.

Way too expensive to keep. Can't throw. His wildcat was pathetic. Thiggy is prob gone also with Richmond QB as "Emergency QB." the only accurate thing you stated was..... I can't find it anymore.... How many teams have a guy that returns kicks, can be used for trick punts, act as a gunner, play wide reciver, run the wild cat, and be an emergency QB? While only using ONE roster spot.

Dorkington Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Unless we have better WR/Special Team options AND are hurting on money, there's no reason to cut Brad Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 If Buff keeps Thigpen, it's possible Smith could get cut. He'd have to beat out new guys like Aiken, Easley, Hagan and Graham to make the team strictly as a WR. His value as a KR has been greatly diminished with the new rules. I doubt Thigpen makes the team though. VY seems to take his place, not Smith's. Smith stays on as 3rd QB/WR/special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too expensive to keep. Can't throw. His wildcat was pathetic. Thiggy is prob gone also with Richmond QB as "Emergency QB." His wildcat got a first down almost every time on third and short (at least the first half of the season). Just because it wasn't flashy, doesn't mean that it wasn't effective.

polish lover Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Could care less about him playing receiver or not No Smith is more valuable as a receiving option, special teams, wild cat player. its a bonus that in an extreme situation he could be your emergency qb. the bills don't consider him in the competition for the QB position. last season there were 3 qbs and smith.
