Beebes Bubble Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/03/tarvaris-jackson-expected-to-remain-no-3-all-season/ From Chan's own mouth, Tarvaris isn't expected to rise above 3rd string this season. THIS SEASON! The Bills org spent $1.75 Million for a 1 year contract and traded away a draft pick (a 7th, but moves up to a 6th if he is active for 6 games) for a 3rd string QB. Sound move! Thank you, Buffalo Bills, for once again proving that you are who we thought you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Buffalo Bills, for once again proving that you are who we thought you were. Dude threw for over 3000 yards last year, we needed someone that is an actual QB (not Brad) for that spot. $1.75M is reasonable, and 7th round picks are a joke. Would you rather Ralph just keep the money to add to the stack he'll never spend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaGimp Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The Bills are the biggest joke of the NFL and have been for over 10 years. Nothing will change probably until they move.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS 56 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 For this they ditched Vince Young? At least there was some upward potential with Young. They could have kept Young in third and saved a buck plus a draft choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Someday Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm guessing that Jackson isn’t picking up the offense as quickly as Chan had hoped he would and that is why he’ll stay at #3 for the season. That and because Brad Smith has been working more with the WRs due to the lack of depth/talent there. Wasn't stevie johnson a 7th round pick? Yes he was.

NoSaint Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 we will see - theres no rush, and im sure that statement is more of a feeling than a firm rule here. ie things can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwampus Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 This has a lot to do with Chan's cronyism with Thigpen. Chan will do whatever it takes to keep Thigpen employed. That's why Vince Young was cut. Same thing with Choice. Why did Johnny White barely get any touches in preseason? Because Chan doesn't want anyone to challenge his pet players. Both guys will be here as long as Chan is HC (and not a day longer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 What Chan states publicly means nothing. If Fitz were to go down with an injury, then lets see what he says, until that happens it's pretty much a moot point anyway. It just amazes me how so many people seem to believe every word spoken by the Bills must be 100% correct. They are required to tell their fan base everything!

abbottroadwarrior Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 IIRC, isn't there some condition with the trade/contract that is based on games which Jackson dresses? I thought it changes the round of the draft pick Seattle acquired in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Remember in the preseason when Vince Young and Tyler Thigpen stunk it up. They dumped Young and wanted an upgrade over Thigpen so they traded for Jackson. Remember right after the trade for Jackson, there was talk Thigpen could be cut. There is the only one plausible explanation at this point: Now that they've seen T. Jackson up close and in person, they now realize he sucks worse than Thigpen which is why he remains 3rd string. The trade did not upgrade the back-up QB position as they had hoped. And quite honestly, is there anyone who can honestly say they thought Jackson would be an upgrade for the Bills after watching him play in Minnesota and Seattle? He was horrible!
