It's in My Blood Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I would be watching the wavier wire very closely. I would also look to trade for someone now. Yes, a 2nd backup QB. I would look for someone younger with starter potential. The next Matt Flynn type. I honestly would look at Washington and see if they would take a 2nd round pick for Cousins at this point. Scrap all that Brad Smith BS and let Spiller run the Wild Cat as Brad Smith is not going to throw anyway out of it so there is no way a team is going to be "tricked". You mean the guy who lost the starting QB job to a rookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to them because the season is going to start in less than 2 weeks and they look TERRIBLE. Does Fitz's "windup" when he throws remind anyone else of Tebow's?".....oh wait, Tebow was "the answer" right? So you're suggesting we overpay for a career backup and then cross our collective fingers that he doesn't get beat out by a 5'10 rookie. Rightttt....

CodeMonkey Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hopefully, Chan and Fitz can execute a game plan to counter act these defenses. That line right there in my opinion is going to determine how much success the Bills have this season. Chan having not just a "megamind" plan, but being able to adjust it as defenses adapt. In short, he is going to have to earn what some here claim about him, that he is an offensive genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want our starting QB to come from the waiver wire or what you would call the "wavier" wire? Then you suggest to look for a young QB with starting potential on another team? Yeah that shouldn't be too difficult. "The next Matt Flynn" would be a guy that lost his job to a 5' 10" rookie and cost the franchise $10 million this year. You think Washington is going to trade their rookie draft pick now, before he shows what he can do and they can get more? Not only are you a booger, but you're that one you know is there but just can't reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Awesome, another 'Fitz is the problem' thread. We hadn't had one of those for at least 20 minutes. Yeah this isn't exactly "Breaking News". Fitz is our QB, that's not going to change between now and the opener, so let's just see what happens before we start screaming "the sky is falling". Besides, we picked up the best "starter candidate" backup out there in Vince Young, we all saw how that ended.

Matt in KC Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ryan Fitzpatrick is 21 of 42 (50.8%) for 208 yards Jay Cutler is 16 of 34 (47.1 %) for 218 yards Cam Newton is 16 of 31 (51.6%) for 196 yards Aaron Rodgers is 20 of 41 (48.8%) for 229 yards Tony Romo is 21 of 32 (65.6%) for 303 yards Mark Sanchez is 24 of 35 for (68.6%) for 203 yards Ryan Tannehill is 36 of 71(50.7%) for 379 yards Jake Locker is 22 of 44 (50%) for 235 yards Chase Daniel (NO) is 46 of 64 (71.9%) for 538 yards <-- I think I found our QB of the future.

34-78-83 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 most qbs prefer short slants, outs, hitches..lol.... most passing plays are under 15 yds... lol there is nothing to catch on to... johnson and jones were getting deep before they got hurt along with wood, jackson and fitz... now we have graham True Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they'd go for a simple 1 for 1 trade. I just see something in that Rodgers kid, despite what the facts say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The OP poses an interesting question. I'd agree with others here. What team doesn't use the slant route and quick pass? I think the key is that Gailey takes a stonecutter mentality to offense. He'll try it 1,000 times expecting that 1,001st time to be successful even if the defense has countered his strategy around the 750th time. My point: Gailey must mix up the offense playcalling and do it sooner rather than later in games. By last season, Cincy had game tape. By the Dallas game, the Dallas defense knew exactly what was coming. And it goes without saying....you have two outstanding running backs and a gigantic offensive line. Use them. I don't think the Bills run nearly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
