eball Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Joe Buscgalia stated on WGR (can be heard in the audio vault) that Tanney did not look very good. He said that his throws longer than 15 yards had a "wobble" to them. He said he didn't think that Tanney would be brought back after this weekends performance. Shucks. Damn. I knew they should have had him throwing to guys in pickups driving down the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Moses Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If there is a surprise it will be Corp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I doubt there will be any "surprises" at the QB position. I'd bet almost anything that (barring injury) when the final roster comes out, Fitzy is obviously #1, VY is #2, thigpen is cut, and a guy like Corp will be on the practice squad. Brad Smith will be the #3 QB on the roster when the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also view having either undrafted QB making it to NEXT years roster or practice squad a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Damn. I knew they should have had him throwing to guys in pickups driving down the sideline. I dunno, eball. I was out at the stadium last Friday (to get info from the ticket office about post office issue I'm having ) - the rookie camp was in full swing when, as I pulled out and headed back home, Tanney put a perfect spiral right thru my open sunroof as I was turning from Abbott onto Big Tree Road. I'm not quite ready to give up on the guy... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only matters what David Lee and Chan Gailey thinks of Tanney. I always take those radio guys reports with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It only matters what David Lee and Chan Gailey thinks of Tanney. I always take those radio guys reports with a grain of salt. Agreed. I just read an unsubstantiated report that Aaron Corp was released today. So either they liked neither of the young QBs or they will now sign Tanney when a roster spot opens up.

benderbender Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Even if Tanney doesn't become anything at all, he did Buffalo a service by choosing us over Pittsburgh. It was worth it to read it as a headline on Google news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It only matters what David Lee and Chan Gailey thinks of Tanney. I always take those radio guys reports with a grain of salt. I do too. But when someone who was allowed to view the practice on Friday gives details such as his ball was wobbly and at times, took to long to get there; that's hard to argue unless he was flat out lying. Considering they released Corp and still didn't sign Tanney, i'm going to say he wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAWNDO Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I thought that Nix and Gailey preferred to have a developmental QB on the roster in TC. We will have to see who else they may bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I agree with this -- I believe this minicamp is the first step in a 1-on-1 competition between Corp and Tanney to determine who becomes the Bills developmental QB. Corp cut today, so it looks like Tanney will stay around for awhile. At least he'll get a chance to see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Corp cut today, so it looks like Tanney will stay around for awhile. At least he'll get a chance to see what he can do. Nope. Tanney doesn't have a contract, he was a tryout only player. Unless we sign him, he's a goner too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny33 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Let's just get it over & put the QB order like this -- #1) Fitz - #2) V . Young - #3) Tanney .. It's an instant up grade from Thigpen !! Just in experience alone , & B . Smith make a trade for another pick . With all that we have at WR why waste a roster spot with him get something for him . Young can do all that Smith has done for the team (besides being a WR if needed) so let's just do it !! That way we can also save a couple of mil or so in cap room by getting rid of their 2 contracts which wouldn't hurt ?? Tanney has shown nothing. You are crazy if you think that Tanney is "an instant up grade (sic)" from Thigpen. As for "& B . Smith make a trade for another pick," I have no idea what that statement is supposed to mean. Are you saying we should draft Brad Smith for a draft pick? I doubt the Bills would make such a move, especially considering his relative value to our system. Most teams wouldn't give up a 6th rounder for Smith; we're better off seeing how he does with another year on the team. I think Thigpen is gone, but Tanney, at this point, is far from being the #3.

Tanney actually had a chance to show off his incredible accuracy live for the team and the media during Friday’s opening day of camp. Running a normal throwing drill, Tanney had two big nets 20 yards down the field with little pouches cut out. Tanney dropped balls right into the pouch dead center over and over, showing his video is no trick.

In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 and then there's this... Monmouth College quarterback Alex Tanney who was brought in for a workout over the weekend was not signed by the team, and is no longer affiliated with the Bills in any way at this point in time.
